Manchester Branch

Manchester Branch: Do not sell your property with these guys. They charge £150 for photographs that you aren't happy with, give you no choice in which ones they will use to market your property and then refuse a refund despite failing to deliver on their promise!

We highly recommend Reeds Rains Ormeau who provided us with a great service when selling our apartment. We found all the staff to be very helpful, friendly and professional. Grainne handled the sale of our property with great efficiency and effectiveness and kept us fully informed of all developments, giving good, experienced advice when needed.

Rented a house in Bridlington through the Bridlington branch

We recently rented a house in Bridlington through this company. The lady who dealt with us was Natalie Heseltine, she has been most helpful, efficient and pleasant throughout, nothing has been too much trouble for her to see that we are looked after and we can contact her at anytime if we have any queries or problems with the property, which she deals with promptly.We would recommend this company to anyone.Thank you very much Natalie for all your help.Chris and Angie.

Absolutely avoid at all costs

This showers' behaviour whilst selling my home is the reason estate agents deserve the lousy reputation they have.Without going into too much detail, their sales pitch was very convincing and I decided to go with them after a previous sale via another agent fell through at the last minute because they didn't keep on top of the sale.After I'd signed on the dotted line, the branch manager who was handling the sale proceeded to totally disregard my instructions. The property which was unoccupied was left unsecured and in a vulnerable state which lead to thieves stealing lead from the roof, for which reeds rains totally refused to accept any responsibility.The conditions of the sale I had laid down were totally ignored and this lead to my being forced to accept a much lower price than several identical independent valuations had valued the property at. I was blatantly lied to on several occasions in order for reeds rains to make a fast buck at my expense.But that wasn't the worst part.....having witheld payment until the matter was resolved, I proceeded to raise a complaint with their upper management to be greeted by a "we sold your house, we don't really care how, so cough up....." attitude.Be warned.....these people will lie, cheat and deceive you and do what the hell they feel like.....and then when you complain they'll deny all knowledge of wrongdoing, accuse you as their client of lying and then bully you for their money....Caveat emptor indeed.....

Went to view the house but instead bombarded with mortgage adverstisement

I went to view the house this morning. Instead of giving me info about house that I was asking, the guy showing me around advertised about their mortgage services. In these day and age, one can go online, compare many mortgage providers, call the providers to confirm the rate and choose it. During my viewing, he answered calls and repeatedly saying 'I will be there in 5mins' i.e. I need to finish viewing quickly. I will never use this agent again.

Totally disgusting encounter with …

Totally disgusting encounter with Cheadle Office SK8, absolutely unbelievable. Not one staff member, but all staff members at this branch appear to totally disinterested in helping potential buyers/sellers. We were told that property we had viewed was not available for any more viewings unless we made an offer, obviously we were not prepared to do so. The whole interaction with the staff was very suspicious and therefore we called directly to the vendor, to express our concern at lack of interest and basically advise him of the lack of activity in respect of marketing his property. Guess what after being told vendor did not want any further viewings, he offered us a viewing for the following day. So vendor and buyer organised viewings SO what are Rains and Rains charging commission for, answers on a post card please!

Really wanted to sell my house with reeds rains

Really wanted to sell my house with Wendy at Reeds Rains Rawtenstall because she WERE lovely & helpful with a valuation on part exchange on my property early last year. But the last time I phone her just to let her know that we were still selling the house in the early months 2018 (few jobs needed doing)All she had to do is phone me back on my landline after she had finished with another call. The only place I get a mobile signal is stood up next to the window, as being disabled it were painful standing, She never phoned back so I did later on, she made me feel like I were wasting her time.What is it with Rossendale estate agents ? My dealings with a couple of them have been unbelievable.... Nasty & condescending, wouldn't speak to potential clients and their wage payers like they do?

Arranged a viewing but when we arrived no estate agent turned up. Phoned the estate agent who said they had spoke with my husband (which never happened) and also said that we had booked in for the day before which also wasn’t correct because it was a day that we could not make and I wrote the appointment in my diary while on the telephone. Will not make any arrangements through this estate agents again. How do they expect to sell hours when they can’t even get the viewings right

Do not seem to care*

Our recent experience of the Heald Green branch was professional and courteous, right up until you sign and then when actions are not delivered and you need to highlight it, the service unraveled. From that point on it was downhill. We experienced ad hoc updates (with the exceptions of the automated ones) a selection of deviations to the truth, an overestimation of the price we could achieve, 'non authentic' (invented??) prospects and in the end I couldn't trust the branch manager unless it was in writing. Something I have never had to resort to. Ultimately we had no choice but to go to head office to explain (in writing) and wait for their investigation outcome.*Special note to the one proactive person who did anything for us was Leah. It was Leah that got viewers to the property, followed up with all parties and was truely motivated to sell our lovely home. The complaints team who after (15 working days plus the xmas and new year period) finally came back to me and permitted us out of our fixed term contract, from that moment (within an hour) the property was withdrawn - proving they can act fast if they want to!Now found a local independent agent, who knows the market and the meaning of service. Use at your peril!

Would never go near these guys again

Would never go near these guys again. Disaster when property check was competed at start and end of tenancy (pretty much non exsistent) and trying to get the deposit back (after 3 months) was a nightmare. Sandi the end of lease consultant sent 3 emails asking for bank account details and received 3 responses giving the details of two account numbers and advising that we have seperated so need seperate payments. The super helpful Sandi Williams then emailed 9 days after processing the payment (10 weeks after vacating the property) to say the money had been released. After 3 emails she refused to disclose the account / accounts the funds had been transferred to and only over the phone could she confirm that the funds were not transferred to my account ... the same one in the 3 emails she had been sent. Not sure what it is with the arrogant level of customer service provided by estate agents in this country but it is amazingly pathetic.

Reeds the small print or they will reign in your profits

We had our house up for sale with Reeds Rains who over valued it to get our business. A few weeks later they persuaded us that they could manage our property and it would be hassle free. They claimed they had people lined up for vacant properties and they could get us £700 a month. This was a myth and we eventually found a tenant ourselves and allowed RR to manage her. First off we were presented with a bill for selling as we had voluntarily taken the house off the market. The bill was the full sales cost. Then they proceeded to hit both us and the tenant with with surprise charges all throughout the tenancy. My partner was often distressed as they helped themselves to big chunks of the rental income and we rarely saw the full months rent. We could not make a profit and have had to put the house on the market once our tenant left because the government made changes to buy to let mortgages and council tax exemptions. Going with RR was a massive error and we felt we could never trust them.

Absolutely avoid at all costs!

Absolutely avoid at all costs! They will try to rinse you for every penny! They were our agents when we rented a property for nearly 4 years, throughout the tenancy they were shocking, didn't carry out inspections on time, sometimes didn't even show up, never dealt with issues we raised with them. Good job that we actually new our landlord to sort things for us that was the agents job! And nearly 3 weeks since we left the property and we have still not received our deposit! I'm not holding my breath, but constantly chasing for this everyday. Will not be recommending this agent and shall definitely not be using them again.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I had an offer accepted on the proviso that the house was off the market. Spent the week organising solicitors and final mortgage and was to go in on Friday with ID. They continued to show it the following week (didnt inform me of this) and as I was about to go in with ID told me they had another offer. Played offers off against one a other to increase the price then sold it to other buyer. When I asked for an explanation they said other offer was from someone who viewed it before me. Found out this was a lie. The explanation then changed to 'property does not come off the market until ID check'. I was never told this. If I had been told when offer accepted would have been there Monday morning. Convenient that this information was 'miscoumunicated' and they ended up with a higher price. Buying/selling your house is stressful enough without dealing with people like this.

Incompetent and ignorant

Incompetent and ignorant. I have been waiting 3.5 weeks for an update regarding the return of my deposit, I have had to chase for updates, despite the agents being very communicative in the first instance. I moved out 3.5 weeks ago and I have not heard anything. The lady that carried out my check out was posting videos and images on her own personal social media account of my apartment, the height of unprofessional. I asked for a call from a manager 3 weeks ago regarding this and have not heard anything! I also raised concerns about a suspected leak half way through my tenancy, but never heard anything back so I'm presuming the landlord was never told. As a landlord, take your business elsewhere if you want to ensure your property is looked after and cared for by the acting agents.

Great service in Plaistow

Stephanie in the Plaistow branch was a great source of support during the purchase of our new home - she was available for help with everything (including matters relating to the sale of our previous property, which we were doing without an agent) and kept a close eye on the whole process from initial offer to completion. We're very grateful for all of her help, and very happy in our new home!

Durham Branch

Durham Branch - I honestly would give them 10 starts if I could! Gem and Lucy are the main people I have been dealing with in purchasing a property. They have been really helpful and understanding through the purchase ensuring that any questions we have had have been answered and liaising with the seller for us. They are polite and professional and I would not hesitate in using them to sell or purchase next time round.THANK YOU LADIES!
