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

GoogleAVOID RENTING AT ANY COSTS.
Rented a property off them in 2020. Landlord's house was quiet dated with old flooring and carpet, asked this to be changed when made the offer and was told that its something that could be looked into however when I accepted the offer I was told the flooring and carpet couldn't be changed and if anything I can go ahead and change it at my own costs which obviously I wasn't going to do so dealt with it. Anyways year on year my rent has been getting increased so this year half way through I secured my own place and gave one months notice and told reeds rains that I was willing to pay the re-let fee for them to end my contract. Reeds rains not only told me pay the re-let fee but also asked me to pay the rent till they found another tenant. They increased the rent £300 more on top of what I was paying without changing the dated flooring and carpet. I then cleaned the house up and left it in a condition it was given to me in and returned the keys to reeds rains and told them that I will not pay any further rent as I no longer reside at the property. The lettings manager Thomas Cavanagh who is very unprofessional and carries a disgusting behaviour starts threatening me about taking a legal action if I didn't pay the rent not only that but I was also asked in writing by himself to give up my security deposit to end the contract. His behaviour towards me has been absolutely horrible. I told him I didn't want any contact with him and that my solicitor will contact him and regardless of that he carried on emailing me forcing me to pay the rent and change the flooring after I had returned the property keys back to reeds rains. In the three years I have been at the property I have had numerous issues regarding leaking pipes and moulds which I brought to reeds rains attention and they have failed to work on these issues. AVOID THEM

Miss Maha, I believe that this is being dealt with by the Reeds Rains Property Management Team. I have looked at your file, I can see that you are in a fixed term AST until July 2024, and that your Landlord has agreed to release you early, once a new tenant has been found, at an increased rental amount, in line with rental averages. Your Landlord is not satisfied with the condition that you have left the property in, and naturally, he wants to look into these things further.
Thomas has had to make contact with you, as you left the property, and is yet to hear from your solicitor, which you advised would be in touch. Handing back the keys does not release you from your contract unfortunately, and there is a process to follow. Our property management team are dealing with this matter and will be in contact.
Regards, Mark Latham

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.

GoogleThe loveliest and friendliest people to deal with. Have seen a few properties in Wilmslow with other agents and its been terrible service. Reed Reins have been amazing from day one. Offer has been accepted on a dream home and have kept us informed all the way and helping with any queries and concerns. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Thank you so much Olivia, Hayley and Mark. I would recommend them to anyone for any property needs.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

TrustpilotThe worst company in the UK
If there is a minus one million star, I would definitely give it to Reeds Rains, which is the most gross company in the UK from the start of the universe. How tolerant the britons can be to let this kind of company last for more than 150 years. After I became a tenant, the emails from them read like it was from a concentrate of Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un. I have requested to add another name to my renewed contract. After 6 months they told me they forgot it and asked me to provide the info about the name of my renewed contract so they can carry out some other procedures (Yes, still not care about my request). Three days later, their aggressive and unprofessional staff blamed me for not providing information and threatened to make it worse. I f**king have a life,I am not some simpy who checks email boxes every day just for your emails. Of course I replied aggressively as well. And they didn’t offer any apologies. Well, it is not worth complaining like this if the story just stops here. Months later, their regular inspector came and inspected this house, which was smooth and there was a small issue. The inspector didn’t mention it needs to be replaced, and all I need to do is to use bleach to clean it. However, another aggressive and unprofessional c*nt dropped me an email and threatened me that they would tell the landlord and they want me to replace the whole thing, which was restored to the original state by bleach and didn’t take me 5 minutes. This time I did not send aggressive emails again, because all people in this company are like this. There is no reason to argue with c*nts. I have just told them I would leave and found myself another place to live. So dear reader, if you have already taken so much time to read my comment, why not take my advice as well, “Run, Forest run”. THIS COMPANY IS ON MY BLACKLIST FOREVER!!
