Dreadful staff and experience

Dreadful staff and experience. Took a deposit of over £200 to apply for a rental property. Staff member Caroline was rude and aggressive on the phone when she suggested we hadn't completed our application in a timely manner, even though the delay and problem was with the checking agent they use, and then refused to return the deposit when the application was turned down due to adverse credit, which we had declared.They prey on people desperate to find a home. Absolute shysters - stay away from them at all costs. They will find some reason to retain your deposit at the very time you can ill afford to lose it.Update 12/10/24I was promised a refund minus a £50 ‘admin fee’ by the Glossop branch manager, which I accepted on the basis that I’d at least recoup some of the money they took. However it’s been over 10 days, and I have received neither the refund nor any update about when to expect it. Dealing with them is a degrading and disheartening experience.

Professional and on my side as seller

More personal about the sale if our house. Understood our needs about asking price. Helped to remarket the property and I have always felt they are on my side as the seller not on the side of the buyer. Always kept informed of progress and always available at the end of the phone staff very polite and helpful.

After a hellish experience with another local estate agent, I happened to get a mailshot through the door from Reeds Rains - and it was fantastic serendipity. Matthew Candow and Craig Helps were like a breath of fresh air; no nonsense, no over-valuing, helpful, great at communicating, fantastic marketing and found a buyer within 6 weeks of taking my home on. It has been a smooth and straightforward process from beginning to end. I cannot recommend Reeds Rains enough.

The Reeds Rains team have been brilliant, it may have been a long journey but they have been so helpful throughout the process. Grace is an angel, she is so lovely and have gone above and beyond to reassure us and help with the sale of our house and the buying of our forever home! Definitely recommend.

Untrustworthy staff and poor procedures. Disputing my deposit and trying to take deductions for things I’m not liable or responsible for. Trying to force me to purchase parking permits for the next tenant which is illegal. Absolutely outrageous as estate agents should have good knowledge of liability and whose responsibility things lie with. Never use again and I’ll tell everyone of the untrustworthy lying culture that lives in reeds rains and their staff. So much corruption or no one has a clue how to do their job properly and lawfully.

Absolutely diabolical service from…

Absolutely diabolical service from inept, defensive staff. There seems to be a high turnover of staff in the Hebden Bridge branch, with poor handovers and often the left hand not knowing what the right is doing. They contradict information given between solicitors, and vendors, cause undue stress and delays, go back on the comments they make when challenged, and have taken over 15 months to sell a house that has had a buyer waiting to complete since the first offer.I would strongly recommend that if you want to efficiently buy or sell a property that you look elsewhere. This service has been SO poor that I have advised a friend to not even consider buying the house they are currently interested in as it is only being advertised by Reeds Reins Hebden Bridge and I would not wish this service on anyone else. Edit in respone to Reeds Reins Reply:Whoops- just to evidence their incompetence they don't even seem to know the house completed and I moved in 10 days ago! Way to tell on yourself 😅Yes, my house sale fell through because of delays with your sale, thats precisely my point. I had a cash buying landlady waiting to go and when I was still waiting on basic paperwork and relying on mixed messages from yourselves 7 months in she understandbly bailed. I then cancelled my second sale to a cash buying company which I rushed through in order to save the chain having received alot of pressure to rush once you told me you seller was ready, only then to be told by a different staff member they were 'no where near ready', of course I'm not going to take £30k less than I need to if you had further delays. Having met the branch manager the day I completed, as he had to drop my keys here at the end of office hours as no one called to confirm they had them as I was informed they would, knowing I was moving from another city, I can see why there is such a high turn over of apathetic seemingly clueless office staff, if he is at the helm,my removal man couldn't have summed it up better when he described him as the C word. (Side note if you value safety just be aware he also handed me the keys without even asking my name let alone asking to see ID.)Terrible terrible service, steer well clear at all costs.Positive shout out to Emily who does the weekend vieweings, the only competent person there.

So pleased with the service received from Reed reigns 10000 x better than a recent experience with another local estate agents,,, Adele the move manager was particularly helpful and went above and beyond to keep things moving - I’m positive the process would have taken allot longer without Adele, Thankyou

Highly recommend - professional and empathetic

I rented a property through Reeds Rains and dealt with Thom - who was brilliant! I was in a tricky spot having been given notice to leave a previous rental due to landlady returning and he understood the urgency of a move, but also took into account me still needing to be in the area for my children's schooling and work. He communicated with me well throughout, and found me my ideal place which we all now love!

Not a bad experience overall.

Property well presented when advertised. Lots of viewings organised. Had two failed offers, for genuine reasons, but final and successful offer pushed through relatively quickly. Thanks to staff, particularly Andrea, Abbie and Sue, keeping us well informed at all times. Finally I think RR commissions compare well to competition.

Truly awful experience

Truly awful experience. I would not go with this company ever again, not because of the company but because of the landlords they choose.We went through reeds reins even though the landlord managed the property. We went without heating for 10 days with 3 kids. In fact the boiler broke every 3 months for years. There is a leak in the kitchen coming from the bathroom which was also never fixed. Let's not speak about he broken fence.The landlord often entered the property without permission, even if we were not there. When we left, they with held the deposit due to damage we have caused. But then they never did changed anything before for the next tenant l moved in... Where did our money go?Unfortunately my opinion of reeds reins is now they only work with landlords nobody else would choose. They are not responsible for the upkeep of the property but they are responsible for who they decide to work with.

Reeds Raines are Trustworthy Knowledgable and Reliable

It’s 41 years since I last moved and a lots had changed. Reeds Raines helped me enormously to both buy and sell. Gave advice and recommendations when needed and answered any queries quickly I can honestly recommend them and if you use them you won’t be disappointed

Purchase 5 Beach Avenue

We have been delighted with the huge effort the Reeds Rains team put in. After a house purchase fell through they work tirelessly to find a new property for us. Thank you to Brooke but especially Tina for coordinating the purchase, her quick email responses and passing on our messages to the sellers. Thank you Reeds Rains Clevedon, an exceptional team, Tina was Brilliant!

Worst estate agents ever

Rented a house for my family, before moving in i requested that the house was cleaned and garden fixed as any tenant would expect. (The back garden gate was damaged lay on the floor and it led to an alley way in town. there was masses of waste both in the front and back even inside the house. They called us in on a Saturday at 2pm to collect the keys (They close at 3) & did an inventory in the office and said we could raise any issues within a week if the inventory did not match. When we raised these issues they had contractors take a look and we took 3 days off work for each time they came, nothing got fixed, they didnt stick to their word of even cleaning the garden. There was wiring sticking out of every wall in the house. They agreed to fix these issues, the blamed us for not checking the property properly and accepting it was. They were extremely slow in responding after 2 months of us constantly requesting the fixtures be made, they decided they would rather 'mutually' terminate the contract. Not without incurring costs though.

First and last time being with reeds…

First and last time being with reeds rains, they have offered us no support through a stage of our tenancy where we were being harassed by our mentally ill neighbour, we have tried everything we can to resolve the issues we have with no help off reeds rains what so ever, were lucky to get through on the phone and the call back service is useless too. We are trying to opt out of our tenancy as soon as possible as our home life is being made unbearable by our neighbour and reeds rains continue to do nothing on our behalf, and considering they "understand our circumstances" the least this company can do is just let us leave quietly, but we're now on hold waiting for landlord (also a waste of time - and never mentioned existing problems with neighbours, which she was aware of, until we had already moved in) to give her opinion on what charges we should incur upon leaving. All we want to do is leave the tenancy with as minimal charges as possible due to this being out of our control, but it's proving difficult with uncooperative estate agents and uncooperative landlords. I'd probably advise to give these estate agents a miss as the service they will provide you with - AFTER THE SALE - will be absolutely diabolical.There is one person at Reeds Rains that helped us towards the end and really helped us get out of this, the landlady was trying to claim damages that were there before our tenancy and this individual at Reeds Rains helped to identify the damages in the pre tenancy photos, the landlady then took desperate measures for literally any money she could get back. We're so glad we're not there this Christmas, and I feel for anyone in the future that comes across this house/place, it comes across as a lovely little cul-de-sac (drive) but on one side you've got a family that leaves their dogs to bark consistently until owners arrive, and once the owners arrive (you'll hear them) they'll probably chuck them outside to continue barking where there's numerous piles of dog mess for lovely viewing from your bedroom window (which you'll smell in the summer from your own garden), then the man of the house will give you a lovely wake up call every weekend with his power tools in the shed, and the awful stench of burning wood on the fire no matter wether its 22 degrees outside you'll have the lovely smell of smoke every day of the week, unless he's out then you'll have the neighbour across revving his boat at 8am sharp Saturday taking his place. Then the other side you'll have the mentally ill suspect slamming doors and banging on walls all hours of the night, stalking you around the car park and trying anything for a reaction so she can call 999 and play victim. Your landlady won't want to hear it either, don't expect any help, or the police, which are happy to leave a young woman in a vulnerable position being stalked and harassed by this "woman".Shame really, lovely little place on a new estate in Elton but if you can see a boat out of your kitchen window, you've got banging on one side and dogs barking on the other, then I wish you all the best.

Happy customers !!

Very satisfied with the level of service we received from Reed Rains. Communication was good. We did have to step in and do a few of the viewings ourselves. Richard was very easy to talk to from our very first meeting. Ladies in the office kept us up to date.Pleased we chose Reed Rains they sold our house.Well done, great team !!

We sold our home through the team at Reeds Rains and from beginning to end they were brilliant. Kieran’s knowledge of market conditions and advice during our appraisal was invaluable, he gave us the confidence that we would have a successful sale. Tina and Matt were professional, friendly and proactive, making sure only qualified buyers viewed our house, which resulted in an asking price offer within the first 3 viewings! Jo at Embrace FS expertly guided us on our mortgage options and kept us reassured throughout what has been a turbulent time for everyone. Heidi made the after-sales process as smooth and quick as possible, regularly keeping us updated and handling any issues quicker than the solicitors on either side did! Thank you all so much, you’ve made what we anticipated would be a horribly stressful move across the country so easy. We would absolutely recommend Reeds Rains.
