Do not I repeat do not use this agent

Do not I repeat do not use this agent! Alison Sidney based in Walderslade has totally given false information on a regular basis on renting a property. She was happy to take £288 holding deposit yet still carried on letting other clients view the property. My son gave all information requested including a guarantor and still she mis lead us into believing that my son and his partner would be moving into the house. This agent lies and takes deposits misleading people totally - stay clear and go with a reputation agent - not this bunch of shafters!

Fed up of being ignored

Fed up of being constantly ignored by this company. Have emailed them directly, through their website, through RightMove, called them, left voicemails and left my contact details with an employee where I was promised a call back. So far I've not been contacted (not even a courtesy "we're sorry it's taking so long but we'll get back to you") and have lost hope I'll be able to successfully view the property I want.If this is what they're like to deal with trying to arrange a viewing for a property, I dread to think how inefficient they'd be to complete the purchase.

Before moving with this agency

Before moving with this agency, we lived in 3 other flats. We never had problems with the other landlords, but this people is something out of this world. First of all I would like to clarify that they never played fair with us: in the visit to the house I told to the agent that I really wanted to rent the property, I even said to her to sign in the moment of the visit, but she told me that it was ok, that they were going to keep the property for me and that I could do the paperwork the next day. Next day, when I called her, she told me that the landlord accepted another offer. I think that was just a way to make me say that I was able to pay 6 months in a row. And so, the landlord accepted my offer.We moved to their property in February. When we moved there, the storage heaters were not working. At this point, I want to highlight that we moved with a 40 days baby. When you pay 6100 GBP before moving to a house, you expect a service. For 20 days, in February, with a baby, we lived without heaters. They just kept saying that maybe I didn´t know how to turn it on. I had to write them in a non friendly way to get a handyman in the house fixing it. And he had to fix it, because it was damaged.They came 2 or 3 times to visit the house to check everything was right. As in the contract, if the agent would have realized that something had to be repaired or cleaned, or misplaced, she had to aware us in order to do something about it.Well, in all the visits, she came to the house, checked it in 2 minutes, and said: everything is ok. We even got emails after each visit saying everything was ok.When we moved out, they sent us a email saying that the house needed a deep clean, 7 new bulbs (we stayed there for 10 months), and apart from the deep clean, they wanted to charge us for cleaning the door of the microwave (it just have a water vapour spoil in the door), for cleaning the door of a dishwasher that we never turned on, and they wanted to charge us for some mould and dump. Around 400 GBP for this. They even wanted to charge us to buy new curtains because of the damp , when curtains were made of a material 100% washable.The pictures of the original inventory had nothing to do with the inventory they did at the end of the rental. The first one, was a bit blurry, and the pictures of it were taken from a distance of everything. The pictures of the inventory they did when we moved out... What a crime. They did pictures with zoom of every single centimeter of the house, they moved furniture that weight around 50kg to do pictures of the floor below it. They even did a picture of the inside of a bin that it was not in the original inventory!So, they wanted to deduct 638GBP from our deposit, (we couldn´t get a VAT invoice, and the receipt they sent us was clearly suspicious: in the receipt one of the concepts was "Towel needs to be removed from kitchen floor 1 £4.00" Towel that we left there to protect the wooden floor from the water that could fall from the non-no-frost fridge). But I submitted a case through Mydeposit, and mydeposit has just given 340 GBP to them. If you are living in a Reeds Rains´s property, be aware. Keep this in mind. If you are not living in a Reeds Rains property, avoid them.The reviews with 5 stars are because before you move in their properties, a Barbie girl, ask you for the 5 stars review.

Personal service

Andrew the proprietor was always available to discuss our sale and took responsibility for viewings as time passed. He did his best to negotiate with potential buyers as per our agreed strategy.

Mark & Emma in the Wilmslow office did a phenomenal job. From the start they followed my requirements to the letter. I was selling only so did not want to be in a long line. Within tel days and only the second viewing it was sold. They were brilliant with me, the buyers and the lawyers, the whole things was so easy. Completed in three and a half months.

In USA I heard the economy is better... My family doesn't need such! Your welcome!

APPALLING SERVICE!

If I could have given this Company no stars I would have done so.Made an offer on a property several weeks ago and then made several calls to find out what was the outcome as no one came back to me. Initially blamed me for not providing proof of mortgage acceptance despite the fact I had the majority of funds in cash and informed the Agent that if there were to be a problem, a family member would cover the shortfall, so a cash buyer in every sense of the word. Also, I previously worked in a local Estate Agent and it is not normal for people to make offers against properties they can’t afford. Eventually told there were several family members involved and the situation was ‘complicated’. Made a final call into the offices on the 22nd to find out if there was any progress to be told matters were still ongoing.Last week I was sent an email from RR with a link for another property, the link was broken so I went onto their website to search for the property. Whilst scrolling through, how shocked was I to see ‘sale agreed’ against the property on which I made the offer. I received no notification either verbally or written of this at all and I was therefore never given an opportunity to increase my offer. I phoned the offices to advise of this situation and was told I was called on the 22nd when in fact as previously stated, it was I that contacted them! I had Vodafone search my account and they indeed confirmed no call was made by RR.Not only is this extremely poor management, it is also my understanding it is illegal to not be kept informed.I feel very sorry for the vendor as I would have offered full asking price and possibly slightly more had I have been given the opportunity, something sadly, they will never be aware of.

Not accommodating at all for buyer or seller!

Tried booking a viewing on a house for Saturday in Evesham but was told there was nobody available on show us round. We are travelling from almost 2 hours away and we’re very interested in this house. Mortgage in place etc and first time buyer but did not want to accommodate us even to the point of arriving at their office earlier in the morning. No customer service whatsoever. Very disappointed. Would not sell my house with this company as they are not prepared to go the extra mile for the customer and buyer!!

A massive thank you to Roy and the team at Chorley for helping sell my property. Whilst it wasn’t a straightforward journey (to say the least!!) Roy was amazing, nothing was ever too much and they handled everything very professionally as well as having a friendly manner. I wouldn’t think twice about using Reeds Rains Chorley again. Thanks again guys! 👍🏻😊

Not the best experience with them

Recently booked a house viewing with them, never received any confirmation of the viewing and they never sent me the full address so I had to call up on the day to get the details and to confirm. Once we arrived the agent didn’t introduce himself at all, and just didn’t seem like he wanted to be there, he sounded very bored. He didn’t know any information about the property and couldn’t answer any questions that we had. He didn’t sell it at all, I’d be fuming if he was selling my home! Wouldn’t want to use them again

The estate agent

The estate agent, Steve was brilliant so down to earth and gave me honest feedback which I can use. I felt comfortable letting him into my house and that I could trust him. I will only use Reeds Rains when I sell or rent as can tell they are professionals that I can trust. He was on time for the appointments and very approachable.

Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this…

Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this must be the best estate agent in Nottinghamshire.Nothing was too much trouble for them.Led by their wonderful manager Matt all of his staff were helpful,friendly,polite and efficient. Due to their efficiency my mum’s property was sold on the first day as they had notified a couple who came to view it at once and snapped it up as realistically priced(£20,000 more than another estate agent who had also priced it).They dealt with everyone of my queries in their usual quick and meticulous manner.The manager Matt led by example and along this journey offered his help every step of the way and reiterated this every time I phoned or called into the office.This estate agent was recommended by a friend of mine and I’m so glad I went with them as they made what could be a very stressful experience into a very pleasant one. I cannot sing their praises highly enough and cannot understand the bad reviews given to them as I am recommending them to all my friends who want to sell their property.

“It’s not our problem”

We live in a rented house and the filter on the oven was very loose when we moved in. When we moved we emailed them and they said that they could sort it out. Since then it has completely fallen off. We have been emailing reeds rains for weeks on end now and only just got a reply, saying that “it’s not their problem anymore”. We phoned them up and they hung up. Thanks reeds rains, you’ve got something really special.

Gurdit was great!

Gurdit in the cheadle branch was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He took me on my initial visit of a property and it was a fresh of breath air as he took a genuine interest in myself, work life and current situation. I would recommend Gurdit to anyone and he is an asset to Reeds Rains!

It's been 3 days now since I rang the holderness road, Hull branch to arrange a viewing on 2 properties, the young girl on the phone I spoke to was pleasant, said she'd pass it on to the sales team who have not bothered ringing me back, she did mention 1 property was under offer but I should still be able to view it, especially if I put in a higher bid, I've got a good mind to go see the owners and let them know that this company is stopping or just can't be bothered to contact me and arrange a viewing.

Donna has been amazing - explained everything, been honest and caring and enthusiastic. My property had an offer in 3 days and has got 20k more than the asking price. Donna’s knowledge pitched it just right. Thank you to Rebecca for doing all the viewings - great team - highly recommend.

A TOTAL SHAMBLES.

A TOTAL SHAMBLES.Would award 0 stars if I could.Handed the keys back to our property 2 weeks ago today, the inspection (which cost £120) took place 2 days later. The inspection showed each room in the house to be in "good condition" "good domestic clean" and "no maintenance required".Superb, the deposit should be sent back within a few days I thought, as has been the case with all other estate agents I have used previously.Not this time though. Despite the report showing the house to be clean, I was informed a week later that the landlord was looking to deduct some cleaning charges which came as a huge surprise given the reports of the inspection and also our own photos which we took before leaving, showing the property to be in great condition. Over 30 calls/e-mails ignored, and still now 14 days later the hopeless staff in the Reeds Rains call centre are unable to advise an amount that the landlord is looking to deduct. This company is great when setting up and taking your money but beyond a joke when it comes to giving your deposit back. Staff in the branch not interested in helping, instead palming you off to the call centre who are totally uninterested and quite frankly, totally useless.Avoid at all costs - an utter shambles who are only interested in taking your money.Unsurprisingly when I shared my experience on social media, there were several more comments from people who had also been ripped off when trying to claim their deposit back.Bigger con artists you will struggle to find.

Just finished renting a property in widnes. Accesser came out and rated cleanliness of house good, which was rating when we took property over. They now trying to charge us for full carpet clean of house. These are the worst I've ever come across in all my years of renting. Also had report for 5 days before they released it as you only have 9 days to put a compliant in.they are the biggest crooks when it comes to trying to get your deposit back. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Angelos couldn't have done more to support & guide me through the process of buying my flat. He always made himself available for last-minute viewings & was excellent helping me sort out any issues that came up. I have friends who have used Reeds Rain & they have all had a similar experience. Highly recommend.
