TrustpilotOutstanding Customer Service …
I cannot fault the excellent service that I received from the staff at the Holmes Chapel branch of Reed Rains, especially Tallulah-Mae.Although in the end I did not actually use their branch to purchase a property, their help and advice on a number of occasions was not only very professional but delivered unconditionally. I could highly recommend them as not only being ethical but very friendly and sincere in their approach to customer service.

TrustpilotSelling my house with Reeds Rains
I requested Reeds Rains, Middlesbrough to sell my house. Andy came to view the house and explained the different options. I chose to go down the auction route.I'm so glad I did. I asked him to recommend a solicitor. He did and said they would contact me shortly, which they did.The whole process of selling the house was painless and Carol kept me informed and updated throughout.The house was actually sold before even going to auction and within 28 days so the whole transaction was completed before Christmas.The service was completely painless and utterly professional.I have used Reeds Rains in the past to manage a letting property I owned, so I had no reservations about using them again.

TrustpilotVery welcoming and understanding staff
I was given brilliant service by Reeds Rains when I went into their St Helens branch looking for a place to rent. One of the staff there Ellie made me feel very welcome and helped me out massively. Ellie was very patient and accommodating to my situation, spared no detail when explaining the processes necessary for a first time renter. Would highly recommend this estate agent to anyone who needs to start renting a property

GoogleGrainne was an absolute pleasure to deal with while I was buying my first home recently. She kept me updated on progress, and I felt she went out of her way to check in with me and answer any questions. It made the process pretty much stress free. Would be happy to work with Reeds Rains again either buying or selling.
5/5
GoogleSuper letting experience so far! Naoimh was able to beat competitors' arrangement and management fees, securing a competitive rent for my property. She has gone above and beyond in resolving queries and managing communications with tenants, maintenance contractors, and statutory bodies. 5 stars from me.

TrustpilotRude, pushy & unprofessional
It’s difficult to know where to start as almost each interaction with the Chester branch was disappointing and stressful. My partner and I bought our first home through Reeds Rains and both vowed never to use them again. The branch manager Nina is either super friendly or extremely abrupt, before you can explain why you are calling she barks “what can I do for you”. Customer service training certainly wouldn’t go amiss. We had a survey carried out and it was recommended that we carry out further investigations to determine whether there was asbestos in the artex ceilings. Nina dismissed the surveyor’s comments, saying she’d never heard anything like it and suggested we find a new surveyor!We paid for a separate asbestos survey and hey presto, they found asbestos in the artex ceilings and in the garage. Nina told us that as we’d only tested 2 rooms, there was no evidence that there was asbestos in all the ceilings (even though each ceiling has identical artex design). We later discovered that after slating our surveyor, Nina is now passing him a lot of work.We put our offer in on the house in January and naturally due to lockdown, nothing happened for several months. The house needed so much work that we had to arrange for tradespeople to enter the property in order to assess the work required and provide a quote.We managed to secure a local builder who agreed to visit the house. He was given assurance by Reeds Rains that they would be at the office at 9am the following day to hand over the keys. The next day at 9.15am, the builder rang me to say he arrived at Reeds Rains office but it was closed. The builder said he was too busy to rearrange so I had to find another builder. That wasn’t easy as every man and his dog were renovating their houses during lockdown. After complete radio silence for months (& no apology for leaving our builder stranded), when we were trying to arrange an exchange date (which happened to be the beginning of August), we were inundated with telephone calls. I had one very unpleasant call just before I attended a funeral, demanding to know why we had put the date back one week. I was told that “the sellers wouldn’t be happy”. The rudeness and aggressive manner of the agent was quite shocking to say the least.Our solicitor also told me that they’d been phoning him constantly and were rude and demanding. We both came to the conclusion that Reeds Rains wanted the sale to go through in order for them to meet their month end targets.Our experience should have been exciting and happy, but it was stressful and at times, rather upsetting. Sadly I would not recommend this estate agent (my review concerns Chester branch, other branches may have friendlier staff who don’t harass people).

GoogleMy experience with Naoimh Leonard from Reeds Rains has been exceptional. She is efficient, highly responsive, professional and a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate in recommending Reeds Rains to anyone. Thanks Naoimh for all you've done!
Thanks Rachel. Team RR

TrustpilotNever rent from ReedsRains!
Never rent from ReedsRains!Their fragmented departments make it impossible at times to get any fluidity to responses. Constantly late in terms of dealing with return of payments, they often mis-calculating amounts and show a complete lack of empathy with any issues raised. Their Hub is particularly bad at customer service and I feel they are only out to get as much money out of you as possible. They prefer you to over pay then claim reimbursement, however getting the money back is an absolute nightmare. At branch level they complete dismiss responsibility and tell you to contact the faceless Hub if you have issues. Both these elements of the business do not seem to be well coordinated at all. Maintenance issues are not dealt with promptly.They often shun responsibility and you end up chasing your tail trying to get an answer. Horrible company with terrible morals!I would honestly never take a house rented by them under any circumstance again.

TrustpilotEvery year poor services of maintenance!!!
Every year we have to leave a poor review to this maintenance company!!!! It takes literally days to come and contact you in regards of fixing your watter issues (some very old boiler broken)!!! And then it takes them some more additional days to have someone available to come and check, because their availability is not OK when it is for you too.... And if you tell them 3x times you are not available on the evening when they call you (after days have passed), they keep on pushing it as they would be literally deaf!!!! And we have this little process every year 2 or 3x times... Because the boiler is suuuuuuper baaaaad and oooooold!!!! Very poor quality and extremely old!!! The company suuuuper ruuude!!!! Other then that they could just put a proper boiler but hey hey... They do not want to....So very very upset about the quality of their services!!!!

TrustpilotTo determine our home's value for sale
To determine our home's value for sale, I completed a Zoopla form that forwarded our information to several local estate agents for valuation. Reeds Rains Cheadle branch contacted me by phone and gathered personal details and property information during a seven-minute call. They scheduled an appointment a few days later. However, I received a subsequent call indicating they could only value the property if it was listed immediately.In summary, they collected all necessary information but failed to achieve the primary objective, resulting in a waste of time and unprofessional behaviour on their part.

TrustpilotReeds Rains Wrexham
Reeds Rains Wrexham. If I could give zero stars here I would. Currently renting a property via this Agent and are treated with a complete lack of courtesy and in fact disdain. Correspondence is completely un-professional , abrupt and to be frank rude.Reeds Rains, the rent gets paid on time every month, the property is kept in superb condition, by us, and has been cleaned (it was filthy) and improved by us, your second class citizen customer.Maybe some staff training could improve this but I would simply avoid if possible.

TrustpilotStunning sales service
When you entrust your house sale to Estate agents it’s usually a nervous , stressful time . With the Congleton branch of outstanding professional women the service is second to none . The gentleman in branch not the same level of service ......Every woman within the business I’ve spoken to throughout my unusual property, have guided me from start to finish ....Katie is my main point of contact and I can recommend Her as the perfect agent , without her by house would not have had the footfall re viewings ....

TrustpilotReeds Rains - horrible experience and they will cheat you!
I dealt with Macclesfield branch as a landlord. They will be very nice to you and get you sign a contract with vague contract. They will make sure they don’t tell you important information. In my case I wanted to end fully managed contract as a landlord after tenancy agreement was ended and they asked me to pay full months rent as an exit fee. They have this clause in contract that you do have to pay exit fee but the whole contract is written as if it all applies for tenure of tenancy agreement, and that’s where they will cheat you!!! I had to pay money to come out of contract since property ombudsman is useless and takes month to reply. My advice is to make sure you ask them to write down very clearly about any exit clause but rather not use them because they cheat you through their terms

TrustpilotGreat Service
Reeds Rains have been amazing so far. I have dealt with Mark and Nicole so far both who are very friendly. The process has been super quick, my house went up for sale on their website on the Friday and an offer accepted on the Saturday. Just waiting for the legal side of things to happen now so fingers crossed for no issues!

TrustpilotI am a Landlord
I am a Landlord. I am in the UK Armed Forces and I spend @ 66% of each year overseas. Unfortunately I was overseas when my flat became vacant in January 2019. I contacted Reeds Rains in Didsbury Manchester to collect the keys and assume Marketing & Management for any Letting; Greg Snow of Reeds rains, assumed this role. Unfortunately, now it's August 2020 and Eon Electricity are threatening me with County Court Action due to outstanding Electricity Bills. I've Let and Managed Property since 1999; it's very easy. Unfortunately, Greg moved in a new tenant and stupidly only took a single electric meter reading. There are 2 meters due to there being Economy 10 Heating and you cannot mistake them becasue they are next to each other in the hallway at the entrance to the flat, in a cupboard levelled at waist height. Also, his management of the tenancy was appalling. It usually took @ 3 days for him to reply to my communications, if at all and the tennant had the same issues. Reeds Rains office staff in Didsbury were jolly and pleasant on the telephone but in general, were all young and transient office staff, whom were very ill informed on most matters and although willing to help, they were unable to. I've decided that Not having Reeds Rains Manage my property is much easier.....stress!

TrustpilotSlow, misrepresentative and poor attitude
I’m in the process of trying to rent a flat through this company and the level of service hasn’t been great. The listing for a studio shows a 1-bed and gives a studio rent; the virtual tour is the same. I’ve asked repeatedly for an application form and they’re dragging their heels with providing this to me. I love the property and I want to move there as soon as I can but the way the company has acted so far is seriously making me want to look elsewhere. The attitudes of the letting negotiators and agents are also really poor considering I’m eligible, eager and highly interested.
