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.

Very good professional service and a friendly team which made our buying and selling process very simple. The photos they took of the house were excellent quality which helped generate a strong interest in the property.

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

Most useless company award 2020/2023

One of the most useless companies I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Almost every single member of staff we have spoken to about various issues have been so dismissive and dim witted that their answer to us not having a functioning washing machine for 3 weeks, was “well can’t you use a dry cleaners?” In an area where the closest one is over 15 miles away and closes before we can finish work meaning we could only do washing between their slim to nine weekend hours.We got that little “hiccup” out the way and thought thank god we don’t have to deal with them again… until a mass leak in the building has ruined most of the bathrooms, ours included and wouldn’t you know it. Ours is the only one AFTER 2+ YEARS. To still not be done. There is damp. Mould. The floor is literally soft and rotting. There are silverfish now taking up residence in the soaked flooring and the bathroom smells like damp. (Oh and we know now thanks to the builders showing us the upstairs bathroom they done, that there is no water proofing what so ever in the bathroom so it will keep getting worse until we fall through the sodding floor. We have told red rains about this on what must be over 12 times so far and they have done 0 about it :) once again I could imagine their response would be along the lines of “well there’s a seaside 30 miles away, why don’t you just use that”. Again. Words cannot describe how useless they have been and at this point in time we are considering just taking legal action thanks to the 4 visits we have had all saying “oh that’s bad, I’ll inform my manager” 😂 like that will do anything. Useless.

Reeds rain.

Reeds rain.. cowboy company that cannot be trusted. Very quick to make things happen when it suits them yet takes incredible amount of time getting through and dealing with issues. One thing after another.. blame landlord or blame letting agency for being slow? Boiler been out several months, once it was ‘fixed’ after returning 3 times to resolve the issue it then turned into a fire hazard and the best they can do is constantly delay it and avoid the matter. Everyday since I have moved into this apartment has caused me nothing but problems, problems they should’ve dealt with prior to moving in.. forcing me to deal with it and go out my way costing me my time, job and peace. Would not recommend. Lucky I still have a roof over my head for 2 stars.

Received exceptional service from Huddersfield Reeds Rains branch from start to finish. Special thanks to Ronnie who assisted me with the house purchase. Extremely happy with the high level of customer service, professionalism and readiness to help. Ronnie had thorough knowledge about the house and answered all my questions, also he verified my proof of funds therefore speeded up the whole process. Thanks also to Tracey in the huddersfield office she was very helpful and dealt with everything in a prompt and efficient manner. Very grateful and really appreciate the exemplary service I received. Thank you so much.

Northwich Branch - Absolutely Worthless

Northwich Branch - Absolutely WorthlessIf you are a renter, please stay away from properties that use this branch.Unhelpful, always a delay, not wanting to do the work needed and mostly ignore you.They are unwilling to even speak about maintenance issues, all they do is take the rent and ignore you. Heating issue? Fix yourselfDrainage issue? Fix yourselfIssues they said they would fix once you moved in? Fix yourselfProperty inspection? Waste of time, they never turn up and ignore youI just have no idea why it’s so difficult to get things done. Isaac in the maintenance department literally does nothing to help and would never even bother replying. Jonathan is as unhelpful and there is nothing I can do to get problems fixed.I will never rent from these again; absolutely appalling.

The Team at Reeds Rains Didsbury offer an Excellent Service

The Team at Reeds Rains Didsbury have been there for me even before I put my property on the market. Their support and guidance on market conditions and the industry was invaluable, they were honest and very helpful. Elly was my go to, she is outstanding. During the viewing stage their communication was excellent. Not just an auto email but regular calls to discuss progress and feedback. I'm delighted that my property has now sold, STC, and again, David the Manager called and his exact words "it's my job to help and support you through the sale now, i'll do everything I can to help". And he's stuck to his word, just superb! It's so refreshing to get such great customer service. Big thank you to all at Reeds Rains Didsbury.

It’s all about the buyers, stuff the paying customer!!

I am writing this review from the vantage point of two separate house sales - our own home and assisting my parents house sale.All was good in the early stages of both sales until it came to sorting out a moving date and on both occasions (different estate offices) the clear priority was to only help the buyers and not give much (if any) help to the seller (the reeds rain customer who actually pays!). On both occasions we were bullied to meet the demands of the buyers, regardless of how ridiculous the time frames were being asked.During the day of our move we were constantly nattered by phone and text (7 calls) to see if we had left the property as the buyers were wanting to get in.If you are selling a home I would not recommend reeds rains one bit, in my experience they just added to the stress.

Reeds rains have been excellent throughout this process of buying my property, very understanding and patient especially when I needed to see the property 3 times before making an offer, if I ever sell this property I will definitely 100% use reeds rains….

Our house was sold very quickly but unfortunately the buyer changed their mind. The staff at Reeds Raine were very supportive and immediately started sending other buyers to see our property. We have now got a new buyer at a better price so fingers crossed this sale will do through.

Yet again nothing done to sort my issue going on since MAY

Yet again introduced to someone who said they can help look at my issues that have been going on for months and so far they have done absolutely nothing, don’t reply they are so rude!!! Since May this has been going on, was meant to have rent increased in May said they can only do it in September! And guess what still not happened. Promised they would fix it and get back to me and nothing at all! No reply!! So so RUDE and have no interest in correcting their mistakes! Can’t afford my mortgage hence why we asked for a rent increase, since MAY this has been going on. Tenant was expecting new amount to be taken and reedsrains haven’t done anything at their end!!! SHOCKING stay away

Excellent 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.
