Highly recommended

From the moment we put our property on the market, the staff at Reeds Rains were very helpful and guided us through the whole procedure until completion. In particular we would like to thank Matthew Candow who was always willing to solve any issues we raised. We cannot thank them enough for making what potentially is a stressful situation very easy and I recommend them without reservation. Rosemarie & Mike James

Excellent service from the first telephone conversation regarding a valuation for probate . Stacey was professional,knowledgeable & caring . Nick & Ben are professional, knowledgeable and keep you in the loop about viewings feedback ect . Always go above and beyond I have had phone calls & emails late on a Saturday with feedback . I sold a property with them two years ago they are a fantastic team . I would 💯 recommend them .

Absolutely diabolical service from…

Absolutely diabolical service from inept, defensive staff. There seems to be a high turnover of staff in the Hebden Bridge branch, with poor handovers and often the left hand not knowing what the right is doing. They contradict information given between solicitors, and vendors, cause undue stress and delays, go back on the comments they make when challenged, and have taken over 15 months to sell a house that has had a buyer waiting to complete since the first offer.I would strongly recommend that if you want to efficiently buy or sell a property that you look elsewhere. This service has been SO poor that I have advised a friend to not even consider buying the house they are currently interested in as it is only being advertised by Reeds Reins Hebden Bridge and I would not wish this service on anyone else. Edit in respone to Reeds Reins Reply:Whoops- just to evidence their incompetence they don't even seem to know the house completed and I moved in 10 days ago! Way to tell on yourself 😅Yes, my house sale fell through because of delays with your sale, thats precisely my point. I had a cash buying landlady waiting to go and when I was still waiting on basic paperwork and relying on mixed messages from yourselves 7 months in she understandbly bailed. I then cancelled my second sale to a cash buying company which I rushed through in order to save the chain having received alot of pressure to rush once you told me you seller was ready, only then to be told by a different staff member they were 'no where near ready', of course I'm not going to take £30k less than I need to if you had further delays. Having met the branch manager the day I completed, as he had to drop my keys here at the end of office hours as no one called to confirm they had them as I was informed they would, knowing I was moving from another city, I can see why there is such a high turn over of apathetic seemingly clueless office staff, if he is at the helm,my removal man couldn't have summed it up better when he described him as the C word. (Side note if you value safety just be aware he also handed me the keys without even asking my name let alone asking to see ID.)Terrible terrible service, steer well clear at all costs.Positive shout out to Emily who does the weekend vieweings, the only competent person there.

Worst estate agents ever

Rented a house for my family, before moving in i requested that the house was cleaned and garden fixed as any tenant would expect. (The back garden gate was damaged lay on the floor and it led to an alley way in town. there was masses of waste both in the front and back even inside the house. They called us in on a Saturday at 2pm to collect the keys (They close at 3) & did an inventory in the office and said we could raise any issues within a week if the inventory did not match. When we raised these issues they had contractors take a look and we took 3 days off work for each time they came, nothing got fixed, they didnt stick to their word of even cleaning the garden. There was wiring sticking out of every wall in the house. They agreed to fix these issues, the blamed us for not checking the property properly and accepting it was. They were extremely slow in responding after 2 months of us constantly requesting the fixtures be made, they decided they would rather 'mutually' terminate the contract. Not without incurring costs though.

Reeds rains in Bamber bridge was absolutely brilliant and supportive throughout. When I viewed the property I noticed there were a few people viewing the property and I didn’t think I’d get it so was amazed when Tim rang to say I had got the property. Everyrhing ran smoothly and Tim kept me updated throughout. Thanks Tim

Overall an awful experience

It started off great, we rented a house in huddersfield through them and they were responsive and helpful until the person originally dealing with our move went on holiday. Then our move was transferred to emma, which again started off great however, she started to make us feel like an inconvenience whenever we called and asked for updates as it was getting close to our move date and things were not ready. Admittedly it was a quick move but we were told it was no problem. However, by the day of our move we still had no paperwork or keys despite the fact we were told we would have them by the day before at the latest, which was then changed to midday on moving today however we did not get the keys until 5pm which caused us a lot of stress and inconvenienced us a lot as we had people waiting to help us move so we just had to wait all day. When we went to the office on moving day to speak to Emma as she was just brushing us off on the phone, her attitude was awful and she was clearly irritated by us being there. She also went back on herself saying she never said the keys would be ready by this point, which was a blatant lie. She did not care about us or our move at all and I think that is what bothered me the most.Some of this may have been down to them having a new system, which I was sympathetic and understanding about at first. However, Emma's poor attitude and the fact she just didn't care made me become annoyed more quickly than I usually would have. Also, due to the new system they sent me someone else's tenancy agreement which included the tenants and landlords personal details, which must be major violation of privacy laws and made me feel insecure about the privacy of my information. When I brought it up to them they brushed it off like it was nothing. However, despite all of this, there was one positive experience which was all the handlings we had with Ben. Ben took over after Emma went home and he was kind, reassuring and caring, made us feel a lot less stressed and annoyed, as he actually explained why it was taking so long and what he was doing to speed it along a bit. He was a breath of fresh air after such an awful day.Overall I would not use this estate agent again. The staff need to work on keeping information private and attitudes towards tenants however, Ben was amazing and a saving grace that day.

Almost completed a rental with Pemberton branch, due to sign contracts and collect keys to our new home this coming Friday! The help, support and advice from the staff has been phenomenal! We have rented with three Estate Agents over the past 13years, and to say that Reeds Rains have done a Great job thus far is understating their efforts. All the Staff are friendly, approachable, kind and respectful. Which is Lovely, especially when it comes to filling forms in online when you're not a confident computer user of a certain age! We have been being looked after by Kayleigh and Jessica, mostly, they have been exceptional. Thank you, So Much, to All at the Pemberton Branch, Kayleigh, Jessica and Lewis, we can't wait to finalise on Friday, and pick the keys up to our new home. You're doing a Fab job, which is Very Much Appreciated!! Lindi Langley + Kevin Halton. 🤩x

Slumlord! No valid GSR for over 2 months!

Poor property management and lack of experience and/or under qualified staff across the agency. Slum landlord or ‘slumlord’ of current property who neglects and breaks every clause he’s bound by in the tenancy agreement. Left me and my family with young children without valid gas safety certificate for over 2 months, considerably a major breach of his and the agents legal duties. Reported to the HSE, to which the agent finally got in touch to arrange this to be carried out. To little too late in my opinion as this could have disastrous consequences. Gas safety certificate flagged a repair that needs to be carried out on the boiler, does not stop the boiler from working but the landlord immediately stated ‘if the tenant wants this repaired he needs to get this done at his own expense’ to which I stated that I was not paying for any part of the boiler to be repaired if this is required as it is simply not my fault or responsibility it is down to poor maintenance on the landlords behalf, landlord then stated that any repair to the boiler would be taken from my deposit. A void and ridiculous statement to make as anything to do with the boiler is his responsibility as per the tenancy agreement. Landlord is a tyrant and the agent supports his ludicrous comments and dictator behaviour.

We had a fantastic experience with Elisabeth March at Reeds Rains Dinnington, along with her colleagues Tammy and Andreea. Elisabeth was the very first agent to contact us about properties and the only one who consistently sent us suitable options and offers. Her dedication, proactive approach, and persistence truly made all the difference.

Completely useless!

Completely useless!! Extremely frustrated with the Chapel House, Newcastle branch ..Reed Rains have let our property allegedly to 2 adults & 1 child but there are (many) more people in the house than stated. I consider this a breach of contract. Reed Rains have thrown it back to ourselves claiming they’ve completed their side of the agreement, REALLY!! What they mean is we’ve got our money so we aren’t interested in the slightest about your property. I wouldn’t neither use nor recommend Reed Rains to anyone. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Run don’t walk to another estate agents A little advice and assistance would of been greatly appreciated!

What an excellent service!

The York branch Rains Reeds have gone above and beyond for our move. The whole process was smooth, they kept us updated every step of the way and looked after us moving into our first new home. My partner and I moved from Kent into York, and due to other issues we were unable to collect the keys on time. The team, Sophie, Tom & Emma, made sure we got into our lovely new home, and especially a big thank you to Tom for all the help! These guys deserve so much more than just a thank you. Would highly recommend the service and these lovely individuals. Thank you so much.

We use Reeds Rains to manage our properties and they are dreadful. Had a major issue with one of the properties as it was allegedly inspected and was in a filthy state with flooring ripped up & no bath panels but was deemed in a good condition. There were at least 60 bin liners thrown in the garden and has cost us a fortune removing it all. We have been paying a management fee for non management . They are very good at over charging for small jobs doing and pass the buck if they’re is a problem. The problem is with head office in Southampton and no reflection on the local office & staff

I cannot recommend Tony highly enough. From the initial enquiry and viewing, right the way through to completion yesterday he has been superb. Professional, friendly, helpful and communication has been great. I know it is a well worn cliche, but he has helped us move into our dream rental home, negotiating our 1st choice move-in date with the landlord in the process which was a huge help for us. Thank you Tony and the rest of the RR Cheadle team!

It was a great experience dealing with Reeds Rains. I just landed in UK and I struggled a lot in finding a place as per my need, but special call out to Gurdit for his attitude and professionalism to make this deal for me. I dealt with Many agents before when I was here last time but Team Reeds Rains is best in every aspect be it responding to calls, emails and top class service. Thank you Gurdit and Team, much appreciated.
