TrustpilotTerrible service
the service at Reed rain Durham, Darlington and Leeds is an absolute sxxtshow. there's no communication and the landlord isn't kept in the loop with anything. all the staff dealing with our property are totally incompetent and useless. they pass you on to other staff as they aren't capable of sorting out the job. Happy to take your money but provide no service. go to another estate agent 🙂

GoogleHandled both my property sale & purchase of new build very efficiently & quickly & were on hand for any queries I had at any time. Both Chris Gabbey & Lois Keefe (mortgage advisor) were amazing.
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. Thanks again for your business and good luck in your new home.

TrustpilotSold my house with reeds rains i’ve had…good experience
Sold my house with reeds rains i’ve had a bad experience with Reeds Rains in the past so was sceptical about using them again until I met Mel, the manager very professional and warm person when my sale fell through she personally took charge and got us back on track with another buyer we lost no time and soon had a sale

TrustpilotSold in a month
House was on the market just over a month, we were kept informed every step of the way

TrustpilotAdvised terribly
Advised terribly, advise was made for the benefit of Reeds Rains and not myself.Communication lacking.Pulled out at a cost to me.I can only tell you my experience and that is they don't care about the customer.The person advising me thought because i had to pay a fee to pull out, i would be reluctant to do it. There is no chance I would let them sell my house after all this. And on that, i have spoken to someone else who said they were trying to sell a house for nearly a year without success using Reed Rains, they went elsewhere and it sold after a week.You live and learn...

The entire team at Crossgates were brilliant, especially James Walker- lettings manager. James went above and beyond to help us to find a property to let when the landlord of our previous property decided to sell. He's been an absolute star, this is the 2nd property that we have rented from Reeds Rain and James has overseen both lets and managed both tenancy's. Thank you so much to the team and a massive thank you to James for all his help. Cheers mate, Dave and Wendy.

TrustpilotVery cumbersome process
This was cumbersome and unnecessary made a very difficult process. I was a guarantor. Then I needed a reference from my employer. I have to submit taxes. Totally crazy. I have no idea how this people can even rent one house. If I wasn’t doing it for my loved one I would totally go somewhere else. They need to tone it down. Pure nonsense. Scary stuff
Hi Fadeke,We understand your frustration with the process. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will share your feedback with the appropriate team. We are always striving to improve our processes and make them more user-friendly.RegardsReeds Rains

Thank you Claire, your a star ⭐!!!! Also many thanks to Sam and Myles for their help too. Cannot recommend them enough, so if you are looking to buy or rent give them a shout, I'm glad we did !!!!!!

TrustpilotExcellent service
When you’re are trying to sell your property in a challenging market it’s vital to have an Agent who has belief and optimism about the process ahead. Reeds Raines secured a potential buyer ahead of schedule and I’m truly grateful for their excellent service.

The staff at Reeds Rains Leyland have been amazing. I completed an application for the house as soon as I had viewed it which is very efficient and a good system to have in place. I would like to thank Olivia, Jessica and Carole for being so friendly and answering my questions. Thank you.
Hi Sam,Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are always delighted to hear positive feedback about our team at Leyland.

TrustpilotAbsolutely furious lied to and ignored
Absolutely furious with the lack of customer service. I was sold an auction property by Lisa Sharpe - told there was a tenant in there for the next year, and that rental would be taken care of. She lied, tenant was moving that week. I bought in June - still not completed due to buyers solicitor not sending accurate information and ignoring my solicitors emails
Hi Miss Spence,We understand your frustration with the situation and apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. We value your feedback and will take it seriously to improve our customer service. We would like to investigate further for you but will need further information. A request will come directly from Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

GoogleWe've been through the mill with trying to buy a house. Reed Rains, in particular Chris Gabbey at the Carrickfergus branch kept us informed and together all the way through. Buying and Selling property can be a rollercoaster but these guys have it covered and will have you in very good hands. Some of the other agents use your information and cause problems with the vendor without necessarily being clear and asking permission. Chris, Lindsay and the team were professional and on my side all the way! Definitely recommend!!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Richard has been very informative about the importance of selling the house in a difficult market and Pam has always been very helpful and positive in the office. I would highly recommend that you contact them if you have a property that you would like to sell quickly. Best regards, Nigel

TrustpilotReeds Rains Congleton
As a first time buyer, to be told the wrong completion date from Zoe was annoying.The day before I phoned to say I doubt that’s happening as our solicitors haven’t said it will be.They still told us we will be moving in.This is because Reeds Rains Solicitors sent out the paperwork too soon to the sellers and dragged it out for 3 weeks sending us our paperwork that we needed.

I purchased my first Home with Reeds Rain and with Jen as my Real Estate. Whole experience when viewing home to completion has been smooth sailing! Jen was very responsive to my messages making the purchase much easier. Highly recommend Reeds Rain & Jen :)

TrustpilotExcellent customer service!!
So incredibly grateful that we have Alison Whiteside on our team. We had a really long, tough battle on our hands with many issues, however Alison was always on the other end of the phone to offer her help and reassurance. She fought our battles for us, she made us feel like we weren't a nuisance. I cant thank Alison at Reeds Rains Bamber Bridge enough. This is the lady you need on your team! Thank you, thank you, thank you!We are also thankful to Rebecca and Chris who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a few occasions. We would recommend them over and over again! x

TrustpilotStill have received my deposit after 3…
Still have received my deposit after 3 months of vacating one of reed Rains properties. I have gone through mydeposits Dispute and the agency was ordered them to pay back the deposit a few weeks ago, but no payments have been made. I have made complaint to the property Ombudsman and the national trading standards estates and letting agency team, in preparation to take it to court. I don't understand why they are stalling and the constant lies whenever you speak to someone on the phoneNoma
Hi Noma,Very sorry this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We would like to investigate this matter for you. We will send you a request for more information, please respond to it.Regards,Reeds Rains

Trustpilot0 stars or less - useless complaints department
0 stars or less. Complaints department is pretty useless. Unfortunately I don’t think there is a complaints procedure about a complaint against the complaints department. Woman answered like a teenager with a bad attitude sounded immediately like she was up for an argument, to call her a manager in this field is degrading to those who are that actual profession. Had a lot of wrong information. Not professional, being advised that my out look on life needs to change and simply siding with the landlord on every front no professional phone etiquette. Being told my complaint to save £100 was ridiculous, Completely uneducated in contract law, but adamant that she was correct and everything I did say that was clearly correct got responded to with a ‘yeah, but…’, no sign of taking responsibility,admission or apology when they are incorrect about something. Not sure if she has been trained in how to deal with customers with complaints, almost as if she expected me to be happy about making a complaint. Needs further training.
Hi there,Very sorry to read your review. We apologise that this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We would like to investigate this matter for you. We will send you a request for more information via Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotNever again
Requested repairs to the property that I was renting in multiple occasions, never happened, and currently 3 weeks after moving out and still have not received my deposit back and can't seem to get a straight answer. The flat was dirty when I moved in, I cleaned from top to bottom when I moved out including shampooing and wet vac to carpets. it was way cleaner than when I moved in. Yet still won't return my deposit. Leaving me struggling to pay my bills, fuel my car and buy food.Thanks for putting me in this situation.Plus when the flat was for sale whilst I was a tenant, I found out when they booked a viewing! I wasn't even informed it was for sale.*Update*Further information provided as requested and no response from them since.
Hi Ben,Sorry this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We take your comments extremely seriously. In order to look into this further we will send you a request more information via Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains
