Ignorant and clueless

Up till now I've had no issues, but my rent was due and after several days with no request for payment I decided to email them and ask what was happening, several days later no reply. Email again, no reply. Call the local branch who apparently don't deal with my address anymore and don't know who does. Not wanting to go into arrears I contact the letting department on a Southampton number, eventually they say you need to contact our other department, give me a number, once again they didn't know about any arrangements made previously about paying in advance etc. Basically I had to CHASE MYSELF FOR THE RENT. Absolutely disgraceful ignorant company and it's not the first time I have asked them something only to be completely ignored. Don't bother replying because I'm not interested.

8 Helmsley Close Dl17 8SS

Reeds rains is the worst agency I have ever come across. They don’t fix or maintain the house but instead send you to the landlord who will refuse to fix anything. You would expect reeds rains to contact the landlord to fix things as you rented it through them. Any one looking to rent around Durham watch out for 8 Helmsley Close dl17 7qp as landlord will not fix anything and the bath leaks down to the dining area which I believe they have just painted over and you will start to notice it after a few months. And the worst thing is if you decide to move out they will keep your deposit. Don’t forget to use environmental health before thinking about moving.

Reeds Rains Ormeau Road - Great service & friendly staff. Ethan Fleck was fantastic. Was very accommodating for viewings & was able to answer my questions the same day I asked them. He couldn't be more helpful & was great at keeping me updated if not from him from a colleague. Would happily use their service again.

From the first phone call the whole team in the Bamber Bridge branch were excellent - professional, attentive and warm hearted making what is usually a stressful process much less painful. Thank you to Donna, Alison, Chris, Emma and Rebecca for all their help and support and anyone else from the branch that I did not personally interact with. You are all an amazing team and have much to be proud of x

The Reeds Rains team at Bamber Bridge…

The Reeds Rains team at Bamber Bridge branch were fantastic and we would highly recommend them. Communication was timely and clear when arranging viewings and feedback was meaningful (thanks Alison & Rebecca). Donna the branch manager negotiated the sale price on our behalf and kept in regular contact up to completion. We ended up in a chain of 8 homes which was a nightmare. Numerous issues and delays arose at various points in the chain resulting in 4 different dates for exchange & completion before we finally moved house. Rebecca and Donna were amazing during this period - they established communications with other estate agents, liaised brilliantly with solicitors and their forensic skills at getting to the bottom of delays in other parts of the chain and helping to resolve these if they could were excellent. We felt fully informed - even when things were beyond our control. They helped us remain optimistic whilst being fully informed. They had a great balance of friendliness and professionalism.

I have been renting out a property now for 10 years and recently my tenant moved out, I decided to renovate the whole house and rather than put friends and family in, I decided to "do it properly". I contact Reeds Rains and another agency. Only Reeds Rains called back and it was a girl called Naiomh Leonard. From the first phone call this girl was fantastic. She was very professional, very knowledgable and walked me through all the options. I finished the renovations on the Tuesday, Naoimh appeared on the Wednesday and by Thursday afternoon she had it on the web. She called me on the Friday to give me an update on the number of people interested, organised viewings the following Tuesday and it was let by the end of that week. So quick, so painless and all the i's dotted and t's crossed. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking a lot of the red tape to be looked after by someone else. Fantastic service!

The friendly staff at Reids Rains, Ormeau Road, were exceptional from the get go. They take a professional and efficient approach whilst being very warm and welcoming. We really appreciated the consistent communication in their pursuit of getting us to completion. From an initial meeting with Ryan, to connecting with Grainne, whom nothing seemed to phase in her quest of getting us to completion, to Eileen and Naoimh in their helpful engagement. I would have no reservation in recommending this South Belfast team, whether your intention is to sell or rent.

Reeds Rains in St. Helens/I am sold auction

Reeds Rains in St. Helens and especially Hayley Hughes and Steff Bretherton in my case have been incredibly helpful with both my rental property and also sale of my rental property through the" I am sold" auction website. I cannot praise them highly enough and also the ease of he "I am sold" auction for the quick and easy sale. I would HIGHLY RECCOMEND all to anyone in the property industry to work with them!!

waste of time

booked a viewing for Wednesday, they went through with the viewing, even though the listing had already been removed, which seemed dodgy. The agent said that the application package would be emailed to us in the morning, we called to double check where it was as it was already mid-day and they said it would be with us by the end of the day; however, the packages were never sent to us as the listing was clearly gone. Complete waste of time and messed us about for no reason. Agent name: Jack

Playing people hopes and reams

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with the way my recent property search was handled by your agency. The level of communication and mismanagement that I experienced throughout the process was absolutely unacceptable, leaving me feeling deceived and disheartened. Furthermore, I find it absolutely baffling that no one from your agency saw fit to inform me about the existence of a higher cash offer on the property. It was only through my own proactive initiative of contacting your agency that I learned about the competing offer. If I hadn't taken it upon myself to inquire, I can only assume that I would have been kept in the dark indefinitely. This lack of transparency and failure to communicate effectively is inexcusable and demonstrates a severe lack of professionalism.The entire ordeal has left me deeply saddened and questioning the integrity of your agency.

I’m not sure what their issue is but…

I’m not sure what their issue is but I’m starting to go down the route of discrimination. I applied to two different properties to rent and they sent me an application. I reduced the price on both properties with my offer. I heard back from Sophie stating that’s they have gone with another application and will let me know if it doesn’t go through. The next day that property was on rightmove again,for the exact price I wanted it for. I called, resubmitted my application, left voicemails you name it. They told me she was only working for one hour in the day and that she will contact me tomorrow. We are going on two days now and have heard absolutely nothing.The second property I put in an application for. They didn’t even get back to me. Just re andvertised again at a reduced price. Didn’t let us know, didn’t even try to renegotiate which we were open to.I don’t know if they have a problem against us in particular but as I am reading some reviews nobody has been treated like us. Really disappointing to see because we more than meet the criteria.

Poor experience - beware

If you choose Reeds Rains, and hand the keys over to them for their accompanied viewer, please check your property as soon as possible after any viewings. We ended up with a significant repair bill after a redundant disconnected shower was operated (Who knows why, but the accompanied viewer was there in charge of the property?) resulting in water leaking into the kitchen below and collapsing the ceiling, initial consultation with a caring branch manager escalated into a complaint which of course sided with the accompanied viewer, a very biased process. Very little empathy and absolutely zero goodwill. **Update, just read the reply from Reeds Rains probably ticking their caring box, as expected heard nothing from them. Empty promises!!!**

The team at Reeds Rains,bamber Bridge have been fantastic! The whole process has been handled with total professionalism with a personal touch. From our first viewing Alison won me over with her amazing service and understanding of everyone's situation.She has negotiated us through lots of queries as my purchase wasn't 100% straightforward. Donna was also very prompt with any responses to emails and also so friendly and reassuring . I would not hesitate to recommend Reeds Rains and am looking forward to inviting Alison round for a brew soon. its rare to get such brilliant service in today's world! Thank you all

Highly recommend

Myself and my partner have just bought our new home from reeds rains and I can not praise them highly enough. One of the estate agents in particular Dawn went above and beyond to help make our purchase as smoothly as possible.We experienced a lot of problems on our selling side and reeds rains ended up taking charge of our sale as well as our purchase.Can not praise them enough. They’ve been absolutely outstanding amazing communication/updates and so pro active. They managed to get communication going with various solicitors too in order to complete the chain

Bamber Bridge Branch

It was not easy buying and selling a house during the pandemic. We dealt with Donna, Alison, Rebecca and Joe, a great team led by Donna. Advice and guidance was direct and plain speaking, one of them always available at the end of the phone to calm anxious customers. The conveyancing process with all the various chain issues can be difficult to navigate, it was important for us that this stage of the process was handled well and we felt supported and kept up to date with developments. All in all we received excellent service during what can be a testing process.

As a Landlord

As a Landlord, Reeds Rains manage 2 of my properties. Heather at Reeds Rains has managed my 1st house for 2 years and the service provided has been good.Heather helped me to find my most recent property and provided good honest advice about the house and the value it was marketed at. Upon completion she managed to source tradesmen to decorate the whole house, to fit a bathroom and also to sort out the garden.The prices although higher than where I live in Sussex were very competitive for Stockport and the tradesmen were reliable and did the jobs within the timescale agreed.I have made some valued contacts for work on my other houses in the area. Most recently I have been dealing with Hannah who I can always reach instantly and is very efficient in getting things done.A first class service from start to finish I could not be happier with Reeds Rains and the team especially Heather & Hannah.

Phoebe is incredible!!!

Phoebe is incredible. We're buying a house through Reed Rains and she's on it! As soon as you need anything, she's got it, if you have a question she answers and keeps you updated every step. We've dealt with so many estate agents and Phoebe is by far another league! What an absolute assest to Reed Rains she is, if you need to buy a house, ring Phoebe!

They just rip you off

They just rip you off , a big no for tenants , they charge unnecessarily.15-may-2023: above review was given on 13th of april and after more than a month you are asking for more info on it ? the issue is already taken up by one of reed rains member, we had some conclusions, you must get that info from reeds rains and if you want me to remove this comment then i am not obliged to remove any comments, specially the ones with which i have bad experience.18-may-2023: poor quality of check in report and differences in check out report caused me to loose deposit, even your property manager didnt knew what was removed from the property as beds , mattress and sofas were removed from the property as those were extremely dirty, and those were removed after reeds rains consent, and your property manager was asking what happened to them. Luckily i had the emails as a proof otherwise you would have charged me for those as well. I really lose trust on reeds rains , unprofessional. A mistake

To Reeds Rains,- Customer Service,

To Reeds Rains,- Customer Service,Our surname is Anderson and we have never been called Andrew.We noticed that Reeds Rains Customer Service could not even get our name correct? So if you are going to get in touch with us, please call us and mention us by our correct name please?The write up we did on our experience for the Reeds Rains West Derby - Merseyside office, was true and it happened to us.We never lied and it was the truth.We viewed the house on the Tuesday the 28th of March 2023 at 4.30p.m. and the survey of this house was supposed to be done on the 12th of April 2023.The survey was not done on this day due to the estate agency of Reeds Rains West Derby- Merseyside office loosing the keys, so the surveyor could not do the survey of this house on the 12th of April.Our write up has been here since the 13th of April, and yet you are only now asking questions about our experience from your estate agent only now?The experience we went through from your estate agent just added stress to us buying a house, it wasted our time, and created a lot of annoyance to us.As we said previously, if you want to speak with us directly we are happy to do so, but we are not going to start arguing on what happened to us?We were the ones at the receiving end of the lack of customer service, while your estate agent in West Derby - Merseyside office could not even care.As we said we would not do any business with any Reeds Rains office of estate agents at any time in the future because of the lack of customer service we received.Our experience was real and it actually happened, so therefore we are not going to change on what we have said in our write up.Trustpilot, is there for members of the public to write down their experiences, so general members of the public, can read the write ups and make their own decision if they are going to use a company or not.If you want to speak with us directly then we suggest you telephone us directly, otherwise please stop emailing us with questions, that you can also ask us directly.As we said the staff at Reeds Rains West Derby - Merseyside office were rude to me and my Husband, and that is not on.That also we were not going to except from the West Derby - Merseyside office of Reeds Rains.

House bought, no key supplied, no tenant deposit transferred

I bought this house almost 2 month ago, they are still telling me stories about my front door keys. They started off by giving me an impression that they have the keys and tried to get me to agree to them sending the keys by regular mail, even though I offered to pay for recorded delivery. They said they couldn't do recorded delivery because they did not have loose change at the office. I then paid for a courier to pick up the key. When the courier turned up they said that they did not have the keys. They held onto my tenant's deposit and has not paid it to me nor the tenant. They said they sent an email to the tenant but the tenant says she has not received it.
