selling during Covid…

I cannot speak highly enough about the excellent treatment I was given by Reeds Rains Evesham branch. Jeremy and Jack were so helpful during the whole experience, not only during this covid time but I also lost my partner and was left on my own. They helped me so much even before they reopened the office and sold my property to the first viewers and got me the full asking price. Wow how was that. All done in about five weeks. Moving in two weeks. Could not ask for more. Well done Evesham!

Premium price but not premium service - Holderness Road, Hull branch

This estate agent's fees are nearly double that of other estate agents in Hull to sell a property and the service they provide is appalling. They wanted to charge me an additional £200 for photos of my property 3 weeks before Christmas. I refused and took photos of the property myself. After the sale was agreed I waited a month for an update on how the sale was progressing and in the end had to ask for it. In that time the Sales Associate dealing with my property had left the business and my buyer had gone on holiday without putting a mortgage in place. Reeds Rains never proactively informed me of either of these things. When I complained about their bad service the Sales Associate was rude told me 'it wasn't her job to give me updates on the sale' and that it was my solicitor's responsibility. The Branch Manager simply said 'he took everything on board' but never actively did anything to manage the situation. They also made several error on official documentation and never provided me with written details of all viewings and offers.They made the process difficult and stressful so I ended up contact my buyer directly so that I could complete the sale as Reeds Rains offered me no assistance. Reeds Rains are one of the most expensive estate agents in Hull and from the service I received the only way they helped was to post my property on the property marketplace websites - something most estate agents do to sell a property. If you are considering selling your property in the future please help yourself and use a local estate agents, not this national company. Their fees will be less and you will probably get a better service.

Our family moved into a rented property…

Our family moved into a rented property with fully managed maintaince service. We have so many things in this house that need to he repaired. Its A4 page full of problems including leaking roof, front door we can't open properly, cracked windows and it goes on.All we get is contractors coming for a quote and us being told you are better off moving as the house has extensive issues and reedsrains won't pay when the contractors come and asses. We are having to fight through the council disrepair team as noone from reedsrains maintainance team can tell us if anything will be fixed. This has all been going on for 4 months. Meanwile fhe landlord told the disrepair team that all has been fixed, so basically lying. We have two kids and to say it's been stressful is an understatement. I don't understand how they can leave us living like this and expect full rent in return.

I have just purchased a house through Reeds Rains, Chorley. I could not be happier with the service I have received. The purchase was not as straightforward as anticipated, and Roy seemed to be the driving force in keeping the sale moving forward, chasing both parties solicitors and checking for updates with the land registry regularly, updating myself and other parties. His efforts have been very much appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending the company, and should I ever move in the future Reeds Rains, Chorley will be my first port of call.

Amazing service from the Reeds Rains team in Scarborough

The Reeds Rains team in Scarborough are very friendly, helpful and professional. We would especially like to thanks Alex Kennedy who has helped us throughout the whole process as first time renters, she always answered any questions we had and made the whole process a lot easier! Everything went smoothly and Alex proactively ensured all documents were received. Thank you so much Alex!! We would highly recommend Reeds Rains to others!

Appalling service at an important time.

After asking for a valuation after the death of my mother I was told an online estimation could be done. After a week I heard nothing. On ringing them on the morning of seeing the solicitor, I rung to ask if it was lost. I was told "oh yes, it's in Dave's diary. Would you like him to email it tomorrow!I said that would be too late. The lady simply told me " ok, thank you, bye"Not even close to the kind of service I expected from the company who came top in my Google search. Obviously i will go out of my way to ensure no one I, or my family knows ever uses this estate agent.

What an appalling company

What an appalling company. They informed my energy company that I had left when in fact I wasnt due to move out for another month. This has resulted in weeks of trying to sort out my energy bills that have had me close to tears. They denied doing this which was rubbish as the energy company actually gave me their name. For over 5 weeks I have been trying to get my deposit back despite no issues with the land lord and he confirmed it was OK to release my deposit. They lie routinely on the phone saying the deposit has been released when it hasnt. They also ignore emails. My landlord issued me with a section 21 and gave me 2 months to get out. A lovely lady from the council told RR to not take any legal action as I was activley looking for a new place. They ignored this and advised the landlord to persue legal action. The council lady spoke directly to the landlord and it was agreed to give me an extra month. They dont care about anyone and just pass on to other useless colleagues. AVOID at all costs

My experience as a guarantor

My experience as a guarantor for a tenant who has rented a property from this company worsens by the day. In addition to the issues I raised in an earlier review, which hasn't even been acknowledged, I have learned the flat wasn't inspected before it was let and now there is a plethora of serious problems. The Branch Manager refuses to discuss the situation with me so I have been forced to pursue a formal complaint. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Put my house on the market before with other estate agents with no luck. Reeds rain put my house on the market and virtually had a buyer straight away so I can finally move on to a smaller house which is all I need. Thanks for the great service Reeds Rain.

Taken the wrong amount and won't give me my money back.

My rent price per month has gone up by an extra £50, however, Reeds Rains has actually taken an extra £75.

My partner recently sold his property through Reeds Rains Hull, from start to finish they were professional, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us! They chased the entire chain and went above and beyond to make sure the sale went as smoothly as possible. Every time we called they were knowledgeable and gave us the best advice they could. Steven and the team are a great asset to Reeds Rains.

Awful service

Awful service. Moved around and been renting for the past 7 years and I have never had an experience like this. I've never had an application process thats taken more than a couple of weeks max. With Reeds Rains, it has been 4 weeks and still not sorted. References were an issue due to them using the incompetent service that is Experian. Everytime you contact the office, you get fobbed off and you can never get through to the person dealing with your application unless they happen to answer the phone by chance. Looking to BUY a property soon and I will not be interested in any property advertised by Reeds Rains! First and last!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Absolutely disgusting treatment from the agents and landlord. I don’t think the box is quite big enough to fit all of the problems we have encountered in the last year. The lack of communication is atrocious, and the inexperienced staff is embarrassing. Don’t think they know that my partner worked for an estate agents and knows all the legalities of certain procedures which they clearly don’t know. Avoid at all cost.

I would highly recommend Gemma Bland at Reeds Rains Chorley if you are looking to sell your house or are trying to find a house to buy. Gemma has recently sold our house for us and the level of service we received from the point of valuation to completion was absolutely impeccable. We stupidly started the sale of our house with an online agent as we thought 'if it's on Rightmove that's all you need', we couldn't have been more wrong! After six months on the market with nothing but time wasters and tyre kickers we luckily came across Gemma and the team at Reeds Rains. This is where the tale of house selling plight got a happy ending! Gemma went above and beyond to help us sell our house, she is highly professional and straight talking - does not use the usual estate agent patter, which is exactly what you need as you know exactly where you stand from day one. Gemma also gave the best advice on the purchase of our next property and was always on the end of the phone calming any nerves or worries. She really did take the stress away and sold our house in 6 weeks!!! Don't waste time looking for another agent, this is the one you need!!

Avoid Reeds Rains if possible - exploitative, disorganised and stressful

We are renting a house managed by Reeds Rains. Our landlord is wonderful, but our experience with Reeds Rains' poor management has caused serious issues and made us feel insecure in our tenancy, leading to unnecessary stress. In the last six months, we have:1) been forced to live without hot water/heating (in February) for two weeks as the Reeds Rains' maintenance department did not pass on information about the issue to our landlord. We made a formal complaint to Reeds Rains who reluctantly (after weeks of calls and emails) agreed to compensate us. They did not take responsibility, despite their agent acknowledging that he had neglected to pass the information on for over a week. 2) Despite going on to a rolling monthly contact (SPT), Reeds Rains are now attempting to force us to sign up to a 12 month tenancy, at the cost of £120. We did not have to do this last year and they are not answering our questions appropriately, and their poor communication has given us the impression that we have no choice but to sign up to the tenancy. Their emails have implied that we sign a 12 month tenancy renewal or our notice will be served. We are not in the position to sign up for a 12 month tenancy as, after two years in the property, our circumstances are changing. There has been no acknowledgement of this or any sense of understanding by their renewals team.3) We are often called for marketing purposes by Reeds Rains local branch who seemingly call to thank us for looking after the property so well and then attempt to sell us products which we do not need, and they will ask questions like 'do you know what you'd do if you couldn't pay the rent?' 4) Our experience when when signing up to the initial contract was comical as their representative was unable to deal with paperwork, frequently lost documents and wasted hours of our time in the branch office during our working days all for a sign up process which should be simple.5) Their fees are extortionate and we will have to pay £120 to leave the contract. Overall, our experience has been fraught with difficulties. The company have little understanding of the situation renters are in, and they attempt exploit our position for their financial gain. We would not recommend any landlords to use Reeds Rains to manage their property, and we could advise renters to use a different lettings agent.

We had a terrific experience with Thomas in the Wilmslow office. It felt like we had a genuine partner throughout the process of us finding a rental home. I highly recommend him. Everyone we've dealt with at Reeds Rains have been so helpful and responsive!
