Inhabitable

As soon as you’ve paid your deposit and started paying rent, you won’t get much communication from them. It is basically Impossible to get any maintenance work done - we were left with leaks, mould, lights not working, carpet ripping up, drafts and more. It takes almost a year to get someone to come and look at the problems, then nothing is done despite chasing every day. You ring and email daily but get no response.Glad to be out of there. We were once without a working boiler for over 2 weeks in December. It took me threatening legal action for them to follow some sort of protocol. Even then we were passed around different people who didn’t seem to know how to handle the problem. It gets to the point where it is just unsafe. And after all that, the landlord took the whole deposit to buy a new front door which was not like for like. The property had a lot of potential but it’s not well managed at all.

If I could review this estate agents lower I would. I initially signed for a property in 2021 with a partner - they messed us around for weeks at a time and made the moving in process as stressful as possible which lead to them finally releasing the keys after office hours despite having a moving van waiting all day. Immediately after moving in we had to make a formal complaint due to having to wait over 8 weeks for acknowledgement on maintenance issues. Not something you want straight after moving into a property? Not to mention later going 3 days without heating or hot water in the height of winter.They shut us up by offering to pay compensation of £150 for the inconvenience.However, later in the tenancy the other tenant moved out leaving me, a single young woman, living alone. The landlord, an older gentleman, turned up to the property without notice several times. On one occasion, I granted access to the property for him to review some damp problems, whereby he made multiple inappropriate comments about how my tattoos would look better without my clothes on, and that I was safe going upstairs alone with him. A few days after this, he knocked on the door at circa 7pm at night asking me to go for drinks with him.Being a woman living alone, knowing that this man is aware of this and is in a position of power, I didn't speak out until the end of the tenancy.This landlord then decided to claim over £700 of damages from myself. Luckily, we used the Zero Deposit Guarantee scheme and so they disputed this on my behalf and over £500 of this claim was rejected. Leaving me to pay just under £185 which was settled at the end of 2023.However, over a year after the end of the tenancy, Reeds Rains has just contacted me stating that I owe them £22. A reminder this was paid in 2023, the year that the tenancy ended.I would never ever recommend anybody to use this estate agents, it's a law suit waiting to happen and they clearly don't care about the safety of their tenants from landlords taking advantage of their position nor do they communicate with each other at all and prefer to harass previous tenants.

Reeds rain - Manchester - Sofia Shabhaz

I recently purchased a property and had absolutely outstanding support from their mortgage advisor, Sofia Shabhaz. She advised me through the purchase of one property being sold through Reeds Rain. This unfortunately feel through, but as part of their service they provided free mortgage advice for the purchase of another property which wasn't sold through Reeds Rain. Sofia was not only available and easy to contact but a pleasure to deal with and highly professional.

Such a positive experience with the team at Reeds Rains Carrickfergus! Sold and Purchased properties. Lynsey, Lisa, Chris & Karen all had an involvement along the way. They ensured communication was seamless throughout and made the whole process so smooth. Would definitely recommend them 😀

Reeds Rains at Chapel House. Worst agent in the North East

Reeds Rains at Chapel House. We recently bought a house and these people were unfortunately the acting agent. The vendor wasn't happy with them and neither were we. What a rip -off. Talk about giving the industry a bad name. Charged us £60 to carry out an I.D. check when we were stood in their office with our official documents. No, we can't take a copy, you have to pay a fee and use our app!! So we paid under duress as we wanted the property. The app simply asked us to upload the documents. As if that made any difference as opposed to them photocopying or scanning them themselves. During the next six to eight weeks of the process, we never had one single phone call from them giving us any update. When we rang them close to completing on the purchase we were told they would ring us. They didn't!! I have dealt with other agents as an investor and for private purchases. These people are pathetic and a disgrace to the industry. Don't touch them with a bargepole. Useless!!

Worst estate agent in Liverpool!!

Worst estate agent in Liverpool!!! Avoid Reeds Rains Liverpool at all cost.Unethical , poor communication, unprofessional, very stressful. Avoid avoid, avoid.I flew in from Geneva after fixing two viewings, 301, 3 Kenyon Steps, L1 and The Strand, Liverpool L2.We waited in front of the property for more than an hour on 2nd Aug for 12pm viewing. One Abdul qadir was supposed to come to show us the property.Mr Justin Barton had confirmed the viewing on mail so we booked our air tickets.He did not show up, and after frequent calling Reed Rains we were told that he visited the concierge and returned. Holy hell..!!! Such fraudulent people. There was no confirmation or communication from either Reed Rains nor Abdul Qadir.Our precious time, money, hotel bookings ,all went for a toss.Thankyou Reed Rains for your callous behaviour. The properties listed never existed I suppose. So ultimately its your loss, not mine.

Carol is rude

Carol at the Ashton under lyne branch is lazy and rude. Couldn't really be bothered when viewing a house and was looking at me like I'm poor when I actually purchased outright with no mortgage. When I called the branch to put an offer on a house she took my offer then never called me back. I chased and she rudely laughed at me down the phone saying I wasn't in a position to purchase said house (how would she know this?) so I withdrew and bought another with home estate agents.

Reeds Rains Rhyl

The team in Rhyl were amazing. As first time buyers we didn’t have a clue on the processes and Derry explained everything and kept us up to date during the purchasing process. Matt was brilliant with his mortgage advice and made the mortgage process so much easier than we imagined. Would highly recommend to anyone buying or selling.

Rent due, Is it that difficult?

Rent due, log into online portal. Says monthly. Bank transfer 12 months worth to them. Week later call from landlord, have you paid? Yes. Few minutes later, call from RR, do you want to set up another 12 months? Well first, it's gone to an automatic rolling contract, and secondly if you want to setup another 12 months then maybe it's a good idea to do it IN ADVANCE, thirdly because it's a monthly payment and you haven't sent any communication I ALREADY sent payment to you on the due date same as previous year. After last year where I had to chase myself for the rent, this year I decided to just let things sort themselves out this time round. This does however leave the question, what do reeds rains actually do for landlords/tenants? The landlord actually asked me to confirm with them that reeds rains have found the 7 grand I sent because RR probably won't do this. I'm not angry, these things happen more disappointed that this company seems to struggle with simple things. I did suggest that my landlord use another company as it's obvious that this one has issues.

Look no more, Nicola, Craig and Dea are your people…

Sold our flat with Reeds Rains Estate Agents Plaistow. We had exceptional service from start to finish, thanks to Nicola, Craig and Dea. Their professional photos were taken immediately after we signed up with them, all of the viewings were handled professional.Nicola from Reeds Rains Estate Agent Plaistow has been excellent. She was professional throughout. She listened and acted to suggestions as well as providing advice and support. The real unique difference to other agents is she was always available working well beyond office hours as she really puts her heart and soul into her business. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell their home.

A massive thank you to Lynsey, Chris, Karen & Lisa on their professionalism in helping my mum to sell and buy another property. They were all extremely helpful and went out of their way to make everything as simple as possible, nothing was ever too much trouble for them. I would definitely recommend Reeds Rains Carrickfergus branch.

Wonderful! Really very helpful

You were really very helpful, listened & understood. Some agents just wanted to give a valuation without viewing our home and seriously undervalued what it was worth.The viewings were on time, you obviously know what you are doing as it sold in a week, quicker than we expected.All in all a very pleasant experience.Thanks, will recommend your professionalism to others.

Dealt with William Clayton upon vacating a property that had huge amounts of black mould all throughout. He argued back and forth when we tried to get our deposit back even though we left the property in perfect condition. We took videos before and after we left the property. Will never rent or buy a property with Prescot Reeds Rains again.

Reeds Rains (Wilmslow branch) - disorganised and lacking in customer focus

I acted for a family member who had received awful service as a tenant through Reeds Rains (Wilmslow). After signing their agreement and prior to moving in, Reeds Rains allowed the Landlord to remove the sofa and armchair from the Lounge - despite the apartment being let as 'fully furnished'! Therefore the tenants purchased a leather sofa for £749. This was then donated to the landlord upon vacating the apartment. Despite this obvious gain for the landlord, Lavinia Cachon for Reeds Rains Wilmslow then found every excuse to not return the deposit. 17 weeks after the agreed Check Out report, Lavinia sent to the ex-tenants an unsubstantiated quotation from the landlord claiming £1075 in redecorating costs!Due to Lavinia's poor dealing with the landlord, the deposit was held back beyond the miserly 3 months from vacating which is the expiration of any 'protection' through mydeposits. Mydeposits then refused to raise a dispute!Only finally resolved (mostly) by a 'cry of help' to Director level.

It was/is stressful and it took a long time to sell just over 20 weeks but it appears lots of properties took a very long time due to the way the market was/is. But the staff at Reeds Rains were so helpful always. I feel I can call them anytime and ask as many questions as needed . Thank you To stuart the manager . Hanna Lydia and Kerry Thank you all so very much

Great if you like agents who lie to create a bidding war

Unfortunately Reeds Rains seem to use underhand tactics to create a bidding war - citing GDPR as a reason they cannot disclose current offers on their properties, which is not true. GDPR prevents them from disclosing any personal details on the bidder, but not the offer price / bid that they placed.I would not trust a company that outright lies to customers, to create a bidding war between interested parties. I decided against placing an offer on the property for this reason. Not an agency to be trusted.**UPDATED** This review is regarding Reeds Rains, Chesterfield Road, Sheffield.

I had an excellent experience buying and selling with Reeds Rains Carrickfergus. Lyndsey, Chris, Karen and team kept me in the loop at every opportunity and were a delight to work with. Would highly recommend them if you are thinking of buying or selling in the Carrickfergus area.

There simply are not enough magnificent words to describe the team at Reeds Rains in Carrickfergus. Not only are Lynsey and her team the absolute best at what they do, but they do it with humanity, grace and professionalism. Worth specifically mentioning Chris and Karen who are the definition of patient, punctilious, actuated and really genuinely care about the client as well as prospective buyers. Nothing was too much hassle and they were so communicative and approachable that they made a daunting experience an absolute breeze. Throughout our long 11 month search for a new home, we dealt with almost all other agents in the area while viewing and offering on properties. Without exception, no other agent came close to conducting themselves the way the team at Reeds Rains did. I emphasise this for context because some interactions with other agents, became so exceedingly stressful to the point that we walked away from purchases. My advice to anyone selling a property in BT38 and surrounding area is to use this team. There are not enough superlatives in the world to describe how magnificent they are on every level and they have our sincerest thanks and gratitude. A class act.

Diabolical service - Stockton/Middlesbrough

We requested an early tenancy termination with 6 months notice (to leave 2 months earlier than contracted due to buying a new build property). We have lived in the property for 7.5 years and never caused an issue. We are now less than 3 weeks away from moving and NOTHING has been done. Delays on responses from the agents for over 4-5 weeks at a time despite being chased, the house is still not up for relet online yet they are expecting us to be liable for all costs until another tenant occupies the property. The service has been nothing but abysmal. My garden is currently a hazard to both mine and my neighbours children due to a falling down fence in the garden which was reported over 4 MONTHS AGO!!! Again chased numerous times but nothing has been done. An ignition hob that hasn’t worked in the whole 7 years we’ve been here, damp in the bathroom for over a year yet the rent still went up last year given all these outstanding issues. Avoid renting from Reeds at all costs.
