TrustpilotPhoebe is incredible!!!
Phoebe is incredible. We're buying a house through Reed Rains and she's on it! As soon as you need anything, she's got it, if you have a question she answers and keeps you updated every step. We've dealt with so many estate agents and Phoebe is by far another league! What an absolute assest to Reed Rains she is, if you need to buy a house, ring Phoebe!

TrustpilotThey just rip you off
They just rip you off , a big no for tenants , they charge unnecessarily.15-may-2023: above review was given on 13th of april and after more than a month you are asking for more info on it ? the issue is already taken up by one of reed rains member, we had some conclusions, you must get that info from reeds rains and if you want me to remove this comment then i am not obliged to remove any comments, specially the ones with which i have bad experience.18-may-2023: poor quality of check in report and differences in check out report caused me to loose deposit, even your property manager didnt knew what was removed from the property as beds , mattress and sofas were removed from the property as those were extremely dirty, and those were removed after reeds rains consent, and your property manager was asking what happened to them. Luckily i had the emails as a proof otherwise you would have charged me for those as well. I really lose trust on reeds rains , unprofessional. A mistake
Hi Ishfan, I'm sorry you feel you have need to write another review. It was my understanding that any issues in relation to the checkout report had been resolved following on from our previous correspondence on an earlier review. I am sorry you disagreed with our findings from the checkout report. Both our inventory (check in) and check out feature a range of photos to help us avoid disagreements. Regarding your deposit, I can see you agreed to the deductions and the remainder of your deposit has been returned. I believe this matter to now be closed, however should you want to discuss this in further detail please contact the branch manager on 0161 236 9088 or at greg.davies@reedsrains.co.uk. Kind Regards, Reeds Rains

TrustpilotHouse bought, no key supplied, no tenant deposit transferred
I bought this house almost 2 month ago, they are still telling me stories about my front door keys. They started off by giving me an impression that they have the keys and tried to get me to agree to them sending the keys by regular mail, even though I offered to pay for recorded delivery. They said they couldn't do recorded delivery because they did not have loose change at the office. I then paid for a courier to pick up the key. When the courier turned up they said that they did not have the keys. They held onto my tenant's deposit and has not paid it to me nor the tenant. They said they sent an email to the tenant but the tenant says she has not received it.
Hi there, sorry to hear you have had a bad experience with us. We would love to look into this issue for you and get to the bottom of it. We will send you a request for more information and this request will come from Trustpilot directly. Thanks, Reeds Rains

TrustpilotVery professional and allowed me to view a property at my convenience!
I arranged a viewing at quite short notice but they were very happy to let me view a property at a time to suit me.After my first offer being rejected, my second offer was accepted and any further viewing on the property were stopped. The whole process so far has been very professional.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your positive experience. It's great to hear that you found our team responsive and accommodating, especially when arranging viewings on short notice. We're also pleased that you found the entire process professional and efficient. We strive to provide a smooth and positive experience for all our clients, and your feedback is valuable to us.

GoogleWe purchased our first home through Reeds Rains Congleton. Our agent Vicki went above and beyond to get us over the finish line! The team were extremely helpful and proactive, fast to respond to emails and always keeping us in the loop (which our solicitors failed miserably!). The support and guidance from the team at Reeds Rains was flawless. We couldn't have asked for better agents. Thank you so much! - James and Stacey (& Oliver the cat!)PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

TrustpilotGood service
I found the team at the Ashton under Lyne office very helpful during the purchase of a property. All questions and concerns were dealt with promptly and efficiently in a professional and pleasant manner. I felt supported throughout the process by Andrew and Devon in particular and also by Stephen.

TrustpilotExceptionally good
Very good indeed. A close focus on what the customer wants. All office staff kind and helpful. All RR agents who saw our house loved it and that genuine positivity made a difference. The pricing discussions were sensible and the brochure/Rightmove entry looked really good. Skilled & experienced guidance in the final sale negotiations was sharp.
We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear about your positive experience. It's wonderful to know that our team's focus on your needs, along with their genuine enthusiasm and expertise, made a difference in your journey. We strive to provide exceptional service and are happy to hear that our efforts were well-received.

tallulah-Mae and others that I’ve communicated with concerning the re- renting out of my mums property have not only been professional considerate efficient and knowledgeable ,Tallulah-Mae organised an open day for potential with the very pleasing result that she found the perfect tenants for the property before the previous tenants left meaning no long gap waiting for some interest ! I would thoroughly recommend Reed Rains When selling or renting out your property.

TrustpilotFriendly, professional service
From the social distanced valuation visit, at which a realistic valuation was given, through production of sellers pack and brochure to providing a closing meter reading, the service from Reed Rains in selling our property has been excellent. We were very well informed of the various sales options, including modern auction. The facility to drop off keys and documents at a partner agency near where we now live was much appreciated while trying to minimise travel. All along the way, the team kept us updated on progress and the sale went through very quickly and smoothly. Many thanks to Gem, Lucy, Lauren and colleagues at Reeds Rains Durham for their very professional and friendly service.

TrustpilotTo day I received a phone call from…
To day I received a phone call from Reeds Rains the young lady was inquiring for a tenant or theirs that had a ceiling leak from my flat, I told her that I had plumber with me about that and that we had blanked the water off and would she mind if I call her back after we had organized the work, She said NO! and i find you very rude! I then said if you find that rude you will find it ruder when I cut you off Good bye!Footnote I find the level of service totally unacceptable. Ps I did call back giving a more pleasant lady the information they required.
Hi David,We apologize for the unpleasant experience you had during the phone call from Reeds Rains. It is not our intention to provide poor customer service or make you feel disrespected.I have sent a request for more information so that I can look into this matter further. The request will come from Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotGuisborough Reeds Rains - Fantastic!
Thoroughly recommend Guisborough Reeds Rains, the help and advice they gave us as first time buyers was brilliant! The girls in the Guisborough branch were always on hand keeping us on the right track at every turn, from searching for a property, processes, solicitors & arranging mortgage appointments. We felt like we were treat like family which made the whole process as first time buyers a lot better, would definitely look to use them again if ever needed.

TrustpilotFully managed service-I let my property…
Fully managed service-I let my property with Reeds Rains just over 12 months ago, I have since had nothing but issues with them, they never respond to emails, when you do call to speak to someone they are rude towards you, to the point where I received an email from a manager apologising for their member of staff behaviour, then they give you incorrect costly information, they are happy to pay themselves but not the landlord. I would avoid using these at all costs.I would like to add that I have had to escalate my complaint and still I am receiving any responses from this company. Please do not use them to manage your rental property.
Hi Jessica, Sorry to read your review. We aim to provide exceptional service to all our customers. I've sent you a request for more information. The request will come from Trustpilot. If you could let me know some more details that would help me look into this further and help you resolve this. Kind regards

TrustpilotAVOID REED RAINS- DISRESPECTFUL AND RUDE
The lady called Cheryl at the Coventry Branch is disrespectful and rude. Inspite of me emailing the company regarding the cancellation to view a property, I was bitterly told off on the 2nd of Jan and threatened to be removed from Reed Rains Database by her. I did tell her that I had emailed the company on the night of the 24th Dec that I wouldnt view the property. If I had the email id or contact number of the owner I would have done it but I ATLEAST emailed the company for cancellation and apologised. Cheryl however did not like it obviously as she has probably never cancelled any appointment in the pandemic 2020 year and paid no heed to my apologetic email either. Got a call from her today which was revengeful for not viewing the property and threatened to remove me from the data base. I did think of calling and speaking to her but this is not worth my time in the NEW YEAR. Is this really the way to attract potential buyers???Edit: Mr Neil Price: I am not Cheryl. I was sincerely hoping you atleast read the review and addressed me correctly! She is the person who called me and spoke to me in a very rude manner on the 2nd of Jan and is based in your Coventry office I did apologise and did send an email. It is not the matter of life and death if I couldnt attend the viewing due to personal reasons but I still tried to inform your office. I was on annual leave as well but still picked up office emails during the holiday season and was aniticipating some one from your office to do the same. I understand your client was upset but that doesnt mean just because i did not attend the viewing, Cheryl had the authority to speak to me in that tone. I am surprised that you dont train your staff with basic manners and feel free to have a go at any one. Seriouly poor service.

TrustpilotSelling my house with Reeds Rains
I requested Reeds Rains, Middlesbrough to sell my house. Andy came to view the house and explained the different options. I chose to go down the auction route.I'm so glad I did. I asked him to recommend a solicitor. He did and said they would contact me shortly, which they did.The whole process of selling the house was painless and Carol kept me informed and updated throughout.The house was actually sold before even going to auction and within 28 days so the whole transaction was completed before Christmas.The service was completely painless and utterly professional.I have used Reeds Rains in the past to manage a letting property I owned, so I had no reservations about using them again.

TrustpilotRude, pushy & unprofessional
It’s difficult to know where to start as almost each interaction with the Chester branch was disappointing and stressful. My partner and I bought our first home through Reeds Rains and both vowed never to use them again. The branch manager Nina is either super friendly or extremely abrupt, before you can explain why you are calling she barks “what can I do for you”. Customer service training certainly wouldn’t go amiss. We had a survey carried out and it was recommended that we carry out further investigations to determine whether there was asbestos in the artex ceilings. Nina dismissed the surveyor’s comments, saying she’d never heard anything like it and suggested we find a new surveyor!We paid for a separate asbestos survey and hey presto, they found asbestos in the artex ceilings and in the garage. Nina told us that as we’d only tested 2 rooms, there was no evidence that there was asbestos in all the ceilings (even though each ceiling has identical artex design). We later discovered that after slating our surveyor, Nina is now passing him a lot of work.We put our offer in on the house in January and naturally due to lockdown, nothing happened for several months. The house needed so much work that we had to arrange for tradespeople to enter the property in order to assess the work required and provide a quote.We managed to secure a local builder who agreed to visit the house. He was given assurance by Reeds Rains that they would be at the office at 9am the following day to hand over the keys. The next day at 9.15am, the builder rang me to say he arrived at Reeds Rains office but it was closed. The builder said he was too busy to rearrange so I had to find another builder. That wasn’t easy as every man and his dog were renovating their houses during lockdown. After complete radio silence for months (& no apology for leaving our builder stranded), when we were trying to arrange an exchange date (which happened to be the beginning of August), we were inundated with telephone calls. I had one very unpleasant call just before I attended a funeral, demanding to know why we had put the date back one week. I was told that “the sellers wouldn’t be happy”. The rudeness and aggressive manner of the agent was quite shocking to say the least.Our solicitor also told me that they’d been phoning him constantly and were rude and demanding. We both came to the conclusion that Reeds Rains wanted the sale to go through in order for them to meet their month end targets.Our experience should have been exciting and happy, but it was stressful and at times, rather upsetting. Sadly I would not recommend this estate agent (my review concerns Chester branch, other branches may have friendlier staff who don’t harass people).

GoogleThe team at reeds rains have been wonderful in helping us with our first mortgage, I cannot thank Robert Nichol enough for setting up the first appointment with their wonderful mortgage advisor, Nicola Beard. Both of them have been professional and efficient whilst helping us buy our first home. Thankyou reeds rains!
You are very welcome Ellie. I'm delighted you found the advice helpful.

Thank you for the recommendation Carol. We are very pleased to have helped you and I'm sure that you will love your new home.

TrustpilotGreat team, personal yet professional
The team at the Stockton branch are just fantastic. Handled my sale professionally and efficiently, always keeping me up to date with the process. Andrea in particular was always helpful and friendly when giving me updates and happy to gently push the other side when necessary. Highly recommended.

TrustpilotNever rent from ReedsRains!
Never rent from ReedsRains!Their fragmented departments make it impossible at times to get any fluidity to responses. Constantly late in terms of dealing with return of payments, they often mis-calculating amounts and show a complete lack of empathy with any issues raised. Their Hub is particularly bad at customer service and I feel they are only out to get as much money out of you as possible. They prefer you to over pay then claim reimbursement, however getting the money back is an absolute nightmare. At branch level they complete dismiss responsibility and tell you to contact the faceless Hub if you have issues. Both these elements of the business do not seem to be well coordinated at all. Maintenance issues are not dealt with promptly.They often shun responsibility and you end up chasing your tail trying to get an answer. Horrible company with terrible morals!I would honestly never take a house rented by them under any circumstance again.

TrustpilotEvery year poor services of maintenance!!!
Every year we have to leave a poor review to this maintenance company!!!! It takes literally days to come and contact you in regards of fixing your watter issues (some very old boiler broken)!!! And then it takes them some more additional days to have someone available to come and check, because their availability is not OK when it is for you too.... And if you tell them 3x times you are not available on the evening when they call you (after days have passed), they keep on pushing it as they would be literally deaf!!!! And we have this little process every year 2 or 3x times... Because the boiler is suuuuuuper baaaaad and oooooold!!!! Very poor quality and extremely old!!! The company suuuuper ruuude!!!! Other then that they could just put a proper boiler but hey hey... They do not want to....So very very upset about the quality of their services!!!!
Hi Brigitta, very sorry to read this has been your experience with us. We aim to provide satisfactory service at all times. I've sent you a request for more information. The request will come from Trustpilot. If you could let me know some more details that would help me look into this further and help you resolve this. Kind regards

TrustpilotReeds Rains Wrexham
Reeds Rains Wrexham. If I could give zero stars here I would. Currently renting a property via this Agent and are treated with a complete lack of courtesy and in fact disdain. Correspondence is completely un-professional , abrupt and to be frank rude.Reeds Rains, the rent gets paid on time every month, the property is kept in superb condition, by us, and has been cleaned (it was filthy) and improved by us, your second class citizen customer.Maybe some staff training could improve this but I would simply avoid if possible.
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.
Tell us what you need and we'll put you in touch. Reeds Rains hasn't joined The Trusted Agent yet, so we'll pass your enquiry to them or to up to three other top-rated agents near Congleton.
