TrustpilotReeds Rains Letting Service…
We used Reeds Rains to let out our property. We currently do not live in the UK so everything was managed over the phone and via email. The team was always available to respond to calls and all correspondence via email was extremely efficient. We received a great service, highly recommend and know we have peace of mind that such a good team is in place managing our property long term 🙏👍👍👍

TrustpilotVERY POOR SERVICE!
VERY POOR SERVICE!One star too many !I rented a property from Reeds Reins and although the branch couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful there were lies from the beginning. I was not informed about the full condition of the property when moving in and soon experienced severe problems for my health (damp which is a risk for someone who is asthmatic). When I contacted the branch in relation to the damp issue they pretended not to know. The damp was that severe that whenever there was rain the basement would flood and due to the lack of insulation in the property it was colder in the property than outside the property in the middle of winter. Even though the landlord was ultimately to blame for the repair works the company didn’t chase him and should have put him on the rogue landlord list as he was out to make a quick buck and was HIGHLY unprofessional to the point of just turning up one night at nearly 10pm hammering the door like a thug as he brought round a ‘Christmas present’ and suddenly started getting repairs done, this was after threatening legal action due to the conditions. Over the 10 months I was in the property I had to call the management company numerous times but didn’t get anywhere. I constantly had to chase for things to be looked at and the different departments didn’t communicate with each other. The customer service agents at the management centre didn’t have a clue about basic maintenance queries, I rang up once as my radiators needed bleeding but due to a potential pressure issue needed this doing by a professional (as advised by a handyman). When I told this to the management company I was told that they couldn’t do anything and that I needed to contact my local water supplier. When you do get through to somebody they promise you callbacks from the relevant teams but the callbacks never happen. Even at the end of the tenancy I had to ring three separate times for updates and was promised all three times a call back from my ‘property manager’ but when I eventually managed to get through to her about a week later I was told I should have never been promised a call back. She the told me I would be updated with how the process was going however again I had to do all the chasing and had to ask for the inventory as this had NEVER been supplied to me. When the check out report was completed I was originally going to be charged for cleaning fees as the person who had carried out the check out report had never seen the inventory and couldn’t compare the two even though the property was a disgrace when I moved in.I also made a deal with the landlord to exit my contract 2 months early and pay a reduced rent.However when it came to a reference from them, they over exaggerated the amount I owed and made it seem like I owed a lot more than I did.This complicated matters with my with new estate agents, I had to explain to them the issues with reeds rains and the fact I was on a reduced rent, I felt embarrassed humiliated that reeds rains lied.I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN. If you want a smooth and easy process do NOT use them.

TrustpilotInterfering sales agent put my purchase at risk
I bought a property through them over a year ago and I spotted an issue with the property during the viewing that I mentioned when I made my offer would need to be rectified before completion. My offer was accepted and the seller was dealing with resolving the issue with the building management company but it was taking time which was fine. The the agent for Reeds Rain involved himself because he was frustrated with the hold up which did't help anybody and kept trying to cajole me into accepting the problem and went so far as to lie to me and say the seller was going to withdraw the agreement to sell to me. I had the sellers details so I spoke to them directly and confirmed it was untrue which shows a lack of professionalism by the Reeds Rains agent in interfering in an issue that has a large monetary effect on an expensive purchase without requesting their involvement and attempting to blackmail me to drop it. No thanks to Reeds Rains I had the problem with the property fixed through my own efforts.

TrustpilotExtremely bad service!!!
Extremely bad service!!!I have been renting a house for more than 2 years at Chesterfield ( Derbyshire), when I ended the renting period they wanted to charge me for everything to obtain as much is possible from my deposit. Horrendous, I have been an honest and a great tenant and the house was inmaculate when I left. So I initiated a complain with Mydeposits.co.uk whichis dissapointing as they accept new complains from the agency once you submitted all the evidences ( dirty trick really, they work in partnership ). Nearly 3 months now and still I haven't received a penny from my deposit. This people don't have any respect for honest people. AVOID THEM!!!

TrustpilotVALUATION …Jade arrived ..Gentle in her approach
Jade arrived ..Gentle in her approach. Well researched and knowledgable. We really felt like we were in good hands. Importantly in a sensitive situation when emotional value is also attached to our bricks and mortar she was respectful but clear - just what we needed. Representing her crew with Openess in a situation most of us on experience very occasionally Great start Thanks

TrustpilotShocking end to a great tenancy
Had no problems renting in Leeds for years until the end of tenancy. Absolutely no response on the deposit after 6 weeks of chasing up and multiple emails and calls completely ignored. Will have to go through deposit protection scheme or small claims court to reclaim the deposit unfortunately which is a shame

TrustpilotI would like to take the time to write…
I would like to take the time to write a positive review for the team at reeds rains Preston. From the very first meeting with Becci for the initial valuation I was impressed with how positive she was about meeting the market value of the property. I was kept up to speed with every viewing and comments . So I would definitely use Reeds Rains again in future ventures. Keep up the good work. Regards David

TrustpilotReeds rains Liverpool
If you are a tenant looking to rent DO NOT go with Liverpool Reeds Rains. Get told lies on the phone, they don’t reply to emails so you have to chase up. They are a nightmare. Staff are just rude to be honest

TrustpilotNot a option for Zero stars
Not a option for Zero stars. Reed Rains Dinnington are horrendous. We have been messed around and we have had to do all the chasing. Liz said to us that everything was sorted then the next day something else and more money later there's more things. She failed to mention that the gas certificate wasn't done on the day we was supposed to move. She then lies to us saying it'll be done Monday morning which was another lie. She's failed to keep in touch with us at all. She's been nothing but unreliable. She failed to mention she pushed back our move in date to the 5th March a week before we need to be out of our current property. Me and my partner feel scammed and can never put our trust into Reeds Rains ever again what was meant to be our first house has turned into a disaster for both of us.

TrustpilotOne of the worst agents for Landlords
One of the worst agents you can hire as a Landlord. Unfortunately, cannot rate below 1 star.They are poor in communication, require a lot of chasing, overcharge, miss important details that cost financial losses to the landlords and do not get back until chased many times.I am speaking as a Landlord. Imagine what the tenants go through? When I put my flat independently on gumtree, I get more inquiries than advertising through reeds rains Liverpool. This is because they don't return or respond to potential tenants queries on time and as a Landlord you don't have that visibility, so you keep thinking that no one is interested in the property.Apart from that, they do not maintain the property well, overcharge and delay payments to landlords.Avoid if you don't want to throw your money away.

TrustpilotAttempted to scam us by saying we must…
Attempted to scam us by saying we must pay a £50 fee for an independent agency to check the condition of the property when we were asked to leave due to the landlord wanting to sell the property.They came with their own employee, who promptly slapped >£300 in charges on us for the condition of the property. We calculated it (with room to spare) to come to £100 charges that we should have been charged with.In the end, they admitted they had violated the contract and didn't charge us the £50. They did NOT remove the >£300 scam fees for "redecoration". Absolute scam. And I'm pretty sure it's illegal to carry out those checks themselves, massive conflict of interest!FU RR.As tenants, I advise you to TAKE VIDEO EVIDENCE of EVERY SINGLE part of the property, even those weird places, before RR slaps you with unlawful charges! They can, and they will. You've been warned.

TrustpilotAs a property investor
As a property investor, I regularly view houses across the Middlesbrough area. I have never yet felt I have wanted to leave a review but after today’s viewing I wanted to write to praise Ted. Ted showed us around a property yesterday. I was shocked how much knowledge he had of the area and even the street! He was very helpful and approachable and a credit to your team.

TrustpilotNEVER AGAIN.
NEVER AGAIN.Spent 4 months with these clowns. Never again. A few viewings. Just a few. Communication between staff was non existent and anything else had to be dragged out of them. I only received any interest from them when I gave them their two weeks notice. Then, three viewings in two days. Eventually I was told I'd got a buyer.I put off changing agent because they'd finally come though. A few weeks after chasing this buyer up again. I was told I'd got another viewer. I queried the initial buyer to be told by the manager that he didn't know why his staff had arranged another viewing. I was unable to proceed with buying the property I wanted as, despite being told I was 'sold' I wasn't. Time wasted. I can only assume they were telling me what they thought I wanted to hear just to keep me on their books. Now with another agent. Their board is still up as despite me asking three times, they've still not taken it down.Five days after writing this review. The board is still up!

TrustpilotTERRIBLY ORGANISED COMPANY
My experience with RR started off ok, Margery who works in the Garstang branch was helpful and got me into the property with the minimum of fuss. The problems arose when there were maintenance issues at the house, I of course went back to the branch I dealt with but was redirected to 'Dutton Maintenance' AND RR Maintenance. So 3 departments, all working for the same company and the same client - yet none of them know what the other one is doing. And if I, as a customer want to know, I have to ring them myself! The buck gets passed between them all and neither department will accept any responsibility. Leaving one very stressed out customer.My maintenance issues were NEVER resolved despite my constant chasing, and I have now left the property. Countless e-mails and phone calls later, I finally got back my deposit.Reeds Rains need to realise they aren't just dealing in 'properties', these are people's homes and lives - their customer service is without a doubt the most terrible I have ever experienced and I will go out of my way to never have to deal with them again.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
