GoogleI've often wondered why you pay an estate agent so much for just advertising a house for sale. Well this time we found out why. Through a difficult sale, Aimee and Janet chased, organised and pushed solicitors and other buyers and just made it happen when it regularly looked like it wouldn't. Also a big thank you to Nicole for the original sales valuations etc which were spot on and achieved what we needed. A great team - thank you so much.

Such lovely feedback Alan & it’s a question I think a lot of people ask. As you found out, it’s a lot more than “just advertising”. We were genuinely delighted when we got everyone in the chain completed & moved!
We wish you & your family the very best in your new home!
Best wishes,
Nicole, Janet & Aimee

TrustpilotHighly recommend
I used Reeds Rains initially to manage a rental and then to sell the property. I highly recommend them. They are professional but welcoming, nothing is ever too much. They always kept me in the loop, even during a difficult sale, going out of there way to keep me up to date with everything. I’d like to thank Adele in particular.

TrustpilotHighly recommend - professional and empathetic
I rented a property through Reeds Rains and dealt with Thom - who was brilliant! I was in a tricky spot having been given notice to leave a previous rental due to landlady returning and he understood the urgency of a move, but also took into account me still needing to be in the area for my children's schooling and work. He communicated with me well throughout, and found me my ideal place which we all now love!

TrustpilotVery good experience overall
Very good experience overall. People were always very helpful and made us feel valued. On occasion we had to tidy up/hoover, turn-off lights, reset blinds, etc. after viewings which was very frustrating.

TrustpilotNot a bad experience overall.
Property well presented when advertised. Lots of viewings organised. Had two failed offers, for genuine reasons, but final and successful offer pushed through relatively quickly. Thanks to staff, particularly Andrea, Abbie and Sue, keeping us well informed at all times. Finally I think RR commissions compare well to competition.

TrustpilotI chose Reed Rains as they are an established company in my area
I chose Reed Rains as they are an established estate agent within the area and felt they were best placed for the sale of my house and it proved to be the right choice. Communication throughout was constant and informative. The lines of communication were ideal as I dealt with the same person throughout. Within two weeks I agreed a sale and cannot thank Reed Rains enough for this.

We have been dealing with Laura Jayne from the Newcastle office, she has kept us informed every step of the way through our purchase. She has answered every call and replied to every email and contacted us whenever there was news to be relayed or a question we needed answering. She has done this with complete professionalism and friendliness, and we have not even met her yet, she has been such a delight to deal with and we cannot wait to meet her to collect our keys and start a new chapter in our life She is an absolute credit to Reeds Rains.

GoogleWe had a great experience with Reeds Rains while buying our house, and we can’t thank Janet enough! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish, super approachable, helpful, and genuinely went out of her way to help us, especially when things started dragging towards the end. Even though the whole process was frustrating at times, she never lost her cool and somehow kept everything moving forward. We were especially grateful for how she dealt with the solicitors and kept chasing them, we know that wasn’t easy!

TrustpilotHorrendous!
The response to my initial review (posted on 28th November, below) is as unsatisfactory as the service. Whatever the company claim now, I can evidence all of the concerns I listed. Further, almost three weeks after the moving date, problems persist. The fridge and freezer were not working and the tenant lost £130 of food. He is still without a working oven and has no access to the electric meter to obtain an initial reading. The latter is especially concerning because the hot water tank heats up constantly and then drains itself: imagine how much this is costing! Various items are broken (door handles, toilet seat) and there is black mould around the windows, very unhealthy. The tenant is facing Christmas with a microwave meal. How unacceptable is this! Happy Christmas, ReedsRains., , , , , -Dealing with this company has been a nightmare, for myself and the tenant for whom I acted as guarantor. Annabel Gilbey was the nominated negotiator but emails and phone calls to her went unanswered. On one occasion, the tenant drove several hundred miles for a viewing, leaving home at 5am but no-one turned up. A phone call would have been helpful. Sending a text when the negotiator knew he was travelling was not. We were sent repeated requests for information, money and urgent legal confirmations - none of which were necessary had the negotiatior or her colleagues acted professionally. The Branch Manager Justin Barton must bear the greatest responsibility for this. My concerns can be evidenced if this is necessary.

Dear Dr Cochrane, I am sorry you have felt the need to leave a negative review, I have looked at the case and can see that the viewing you mention was moved. Having looked at this I can see that 24hrs notice was provided as we were unable to attend the viewing on the day originally booked for. We always endeavour to attend every appointment booked, however sometimes things happen that prevent this. Regards to the documents you mention, having looked I can confirm all documents requested are required so Annabel has acted correctly. Again, I am sorry you were not happy with the service provided but I do feel the team have done all that they can to make the move in as easy as possible, should you wish to get in touch directly please email me at justin.barton@reedsrains.co.uk with any further concerns.Kind Regards,Reeds Rains

salford quays barance were the worst letting agents we have been unfortunate enough to have dealings with, if you can avoid them I suggest that you do. the move in inventory was a work of fiction with not a single fault or damage mentioned and the flat was filthy with numerous items of damage and disrepair that they are now trying to claim from us after moving out and leaving the place in better condition that we moved in Jessica was so tardy at arranging repairs that we gave up. never again would we deal with these people

Lewis the agent was early to the viewing appointment and gave me time to wander throughout. He called when he said he would, and was very helpful throughout.

TrustpilotDon’t touch with a barge pole!!
Truly awful experience…so unprofessional. Total lack of communication. On completion day, went to drop keys in and office was all locked up! We had been in a few days before to make sure of arrangements and were told there would be someone in their office at all times on completion day. Eventually Luke arrived - he had been for lunch, but there was no-one to cover…unbelievable on a Friday, the most popular day of the week for moving house. Whoever is the manager in Chester needs to realise that we are paying good money for a service, when it shouldn’t be unreasonable to expect someone to actually be on the premises to receive keys from their customers. It gets worse…our buyer went later to collect the keys and the shop was locked up again! It’s 5:30pm now and they still haven’t been able to get the keys. No phone calls to either ourselves or our buyers before hand to explain what was going on - we had to do all the chasing to find out why we were being let down. Begs the question ‘what are we paying for?’ Please avoid this Estate Agent.
