Dreadful customer service

House purchase took over 8 months. Sometimes this can just happen due to unforeseen circumstances but this estate agent never, ever once called me back when I requested an update. 9 months in, I am now in the property. I have been waiting over a week for them to call back to supply burglar alarm code. Guess what? No response. Had to ask the neighbour to call the previous owner for the code. Absolute joke of a firm.

Absolute joke and unacceptable service

Due to renew my contract and switch out a tennant-sent request a month prior to tenancy end date and 1 week before my tenancy is due to end I’m told the guy who deals with this is on holiday…when rang up to enquire rudely been told to wait till he’s back…as there is only one person who deals with this…absolute joke of a service…left a week out of my contract end date with no idea what’s going on…

The estate agent is so untrustworthy

The estate agent is so untrustworthy. The house we purchases with many problem, bad boulder, broken bathtub and broken faucets. Estate agent said they have no obligation to ask the seller to fix the problem before they hand over the house to the new buyer, and teased us we had learn from a lesson and never make any mistake when we purchase a house next time. I want to say is that, no one have many chances to buy a dream house in their lifetime.

Stay well away, uneducated, unqualified, the worst of customer service.

At the start these guys seemed just like any other Estate Agent, extremely keen to get you signed up, saying all the right things and being very positive to get you on board. Yes they did get the house sold, but given the current market any other agent could have done the same. That's when the problems began, lack of chasing, lack of communication, lack of relevant and important information, constantly having to call them to then be told often inaccurate information or information they had to hand days ago but neglected to pass on. Constant excuses include we're really busy at the moment from the most useless of them all Hayley. Whatever you do avoid these at all costs. I could rant more and make derogatory remarks about most of them but at then end of the day they are just very inept individuals with very little experience or qualification unable to deliver any semblance of customer service. I am still waiting on them providing relevant information, which has been holding up completion for over a week now. They are refusing to chase the information and are seem to actually be taking great pleasure in causing us more and more problems every day. I would recommend that you look elsewhere when it comes to an estate agent, don't be fooled by the positive attitude to get you signed up, it soon degrades into downright stupidity.

Great service from Reeds Rains Walderslade

Changed to Reeds Rains after a frustrating time with Purplebricks. The service we received from Daniel and his staff was excellent. Friendly, professional and enthusiastic to get our property sold. There were hiccups with the sale for various reasons not associated with the estate agent (illness of someone in the chain, mortgage offers rescinded after lockdown ...) but all were dealt with swiftly to ensure our house was sold. Would recommend them.

Reeds Rains has been looking after my property for almost 15 years now. Although I live far away from home, I was kept updated as much as possible, quick responses every time, given advice with anything I needed. They have been very efficient, caring and prompt in all aspects....routine inspection, finding tenants and dealing with emergencies. Bottom line is: Brilliant service professional, friendly and trustworthy.

Avoid as a landlord. They are useless and you will never get the support you need.

On a fully managed service, they found me difficult tenants and then did not support through the tenancy or after the tenancy. Despite explaining that I was pregnant at the time and wanted a stress free tenant, they knowingly gave me a tenant who had failed referencing (and did not inform me of this but instead pulled the wool over my eyes saying everything was fine). A multitude of issues then stemmed from this tenancy and the various departments at Reeds Rains have failed to support me throughout and after the tenancy.I am now out of pocket financially paying for issues this tenant created in my property as I was assured by Reeds Rains that they had started a claim with ZDG. Having spoken with ZDG directly, this claim was not on their system. Generally speaking, if you ask them for something/their help on something/an update, you will be met with silence. You can keep chasing, but you will never get an answer to your question. Even if you call, they'll say they'll get back to you, but they won't. Even if you call multiple times with the same questions.Reeds Rains have caused me, and continue to cause me (even after I have moved my property away from them), an incredible amount of stress.Please avoid them.

5* Reed Rains - Clevedon North Somerset

I would thoroughly recommend Reed Rains Clevedon, if you are looking to sell or buy a property. I found Craig and his team to be extremely efficient and professional at all times. They kept me informed and were always friendly and courteous. They work hard to achieve a good selling price.Not at all surprised they achieved an award this year very well deserved. No 1 in Clevedon for customer service in my experience.

Worst service ever

I wouldn’t recommend renting from this estate agent as they are a nightmare to get your security deposit back from. My landlord agreed to return my full security deposit and 18 days and numerous excuses later from advisors in the moving out team and I still am without my deposit. They wouldn’t know good customer service if it smacked them in the face.And their response says to email that address I have and I’ve emailed a complaint but yet can respond to trust pilot but not my emails

Liam and Keaton were brilliant, my dad had been flooded out and needed a new home they did everything they could to get him in his new place ASAP. They were sympathetic and very professional. Communication was great, I can't thank them enough. Definitely recommend.

Rude, disrespectful and inappropriate

Rude, unprofessional, and completely dismissive. They rarely answer calls or emails, and when they do, you’re met with arrogance. I was outright told I “can’t afford” a property, an incredibly disrespectful and inappropriate comment. No effort to understand, no willingness to help, just judgment and poor attitude. Avoid this agency at all costs.

Absolutely horrific

They had no regards toward us as a tennant or towards our landlady. They failed to get in touch with us when the contract was up for renewal, we had to constantly chase them. Our landlady opted for them to fully manage the property and do inspections. They never did as many as they were paid to but always kept taking a cut before the rent reached the landlady.When trying to hand our months notice in they declined it. Luckily I cross checked this with our contract and had to contact them again, which they did end up accepting in the end. Due to this delay we nearly lost the house we were moving into to a different couple. I contacted them via email and phone approx 5 times alone about where to hand the keys back as our local branch didn't exist anymore. Nobody seemed to have a clue. When it came to the deposit it took us nearly 2 months to get it back. The landlady hadn't disputed anything, they just hadn't bothered to contact the landlady or the TDS. We ended up raising a dispute, the TDS couldn't even get a response from them so ended up releasing the funds that way. They tried to over charge us on the overlap of rent which took me caused me waste further time emailing and calling. Early on in the contract they tried to charge me a fee to renew the contract despite the new legislation that came in regarding this. All the contact I had (or lack of) was with my property manager Ella Slack. Maybe the issues I experienced isnt company wide and are down to this one individual. However, if this is a case, I strongly recommend if managment see this review, you check the notes on the system and you will see how many time I called and emailed to move out of a property as requested by yourselves. Its not that I was even trying to leave mid contract, the landlady wanted to move back in and gave 2 months notice and I was just trying to adhere to that. I think it must have took what feels like 20 calls and emails to arrange this.

Reeds Rains Evesham If I could leave a zero star rating I would. During the process of finding a purchaser we were not advised of some viewings, told the wrong times and agent was late on more than one occasion. After getting an offer the progress chasing was non existent. Save your money and use someone like Purplebricks as you WILL be doing all the chasing. After trying to complain, they were aggressive and completely unhelpful. Absolutely shocking and we wish we never had anything to do with themUPDATE Your complaint procedure is about as useful as your contract ( which by the way, you never gave me a copy of) and you did not give me an opportunity to exhaust said procedure before bullying us into making payment of your commission.

Reeds rains wrexham bad experience

Reeds rains wrexham, overall not a pleasant experience dealing with Simon. Travelled a long way to view a property, submitted two offers with no response, no willingness to negotiate on our behalf with the vendor. Recieved a voice mail to say property sold to a cash buyer who's offered considerably more (it wasn't, 5k more) then said 'ideal really'. Not what you want to hear when you think you have found your dream property. Both me and my partner found him rude and obnoxious on the phone. I'd go as far to say I would actively avoid purchasing a property listed by reeds rains Wrexham.

I just want to say a huge Thank-You to Stacie, she has guided me through my house buying process every step of the way and it's a mine field. Stacie has been very professional, patient and friendly throughout the whole process, always called me back when I have left messages and her attention to detail is excellent answering every question I have had. I would highly recommend, thank-you very much for all your support.

This is hands down is the single worst company I’ve ever I’ve ever dealt with. Over the years I’ve had a whole host problems with inventory checks (they didn’t even take any photographs for my first inventory), the maintenance department and the billings team and the drafting of the tenancy agreement terms (which has changed during the pandemic but RR hadn’t updated). All the departments are fragmented. Anyone I ever speak to hasn’t the slightest clue what is going on, are never willing to help and just do their utmost to pass the issue to another clueless person in another department. While I see the sales side of this has positive reviews and that has alao been my experience. The lettings side is completely chaotic. Steer clear!

Terrible service for property management.When the tenant has delay in rent payment. Instead of resolving it first with tenant they start by alarming the landlord and the going to tenant.I had a few property with them,. And it felt as if they are making me work instead of resolving issues quietly behind the scene
