TrustpilotSold my house with reeds rains i’ve had…good experience
Sold my house with reeds rains i’ve had a bad experience with Reeds Rains in the past so was sceptical about using them again until I met Mel, the manager very professional and warm person when my sale fell through she personally took charge and got us back on track with another buyer we lost no time and soon had a sale

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
Hi Fadeke,We understand your frustration with the process. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will share your feedback with the appropriate team. We are always striving to improve our processes and make them more user-friendly.RegardsReeds Rains

GoogleI dealt with Janet at Reed Rains, she was professional and very helpful right from the outset. I would definitely recommended using this agent again if you are buying or selling. Very good service and quick response times, which is of the utmost importance when going through such a (usually) stressful time in your life.PositiveProfessionalism

GoogleApplied to rent a house paid holding deposit head nothing back until it was refunded 16 months later proper joke no explanation or nothing bunch of stuck up Staff aswell if your not working they dont have time or a house for you
Dear Jon, Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to clarify that Janet was in regular contact with you throughout your application and did everything she could to move things forward. Unfortunately, due to the payment method used, there was a delay in receiving your holding deposit and the landlord decided to proceed with another applicant. The refund was processed correctly at branch level however, our customer relations team are investigating the delay with out accounts department. We want to assure you that we do not discriminate based on employment status, the fact that the landlord initially chose to proceed with your application reflects this. Our team is committed to helping all applicants and we're proud of the service we provide. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to contact the branch directly. Kind Regards, Reeds Rains Chester-Le-Street

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
Hi Miss Spence,We understand your frustration with the situation and apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. We value your feedback and will take it seriously to improve our customer service. We would like to investigate further for you but will need further information. A request will come directly from Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotReeds Rains Congleton
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.

TrustpilotExcellent customer service!!
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

TrustpilotStill have received my deposit after 3…
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
Hi Noma,Very sorry this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We would like to investigate this matter for you. We will send you a request for more information, please respond to it.Regards,Reeds Rains

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.
Hi there,Very sorry to read your review. We apologise that this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We would like to investigate this matter for you. We will send you a request for more information via Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

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.
Hi Ben,Sorry this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We take your comments extremely seriously. In order to look into this further we will send you a request more information via Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

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!!
