I will not recommend Reeds Rains Wakefield…

I instructed Reeds Rains Wakefield branch to sell my property. There was loads of errors, misinformation, letter not sent on time. They recommended to me bad solicitor who have no ideas of latest legislations. It took over 7 months to exchange contract. Poor communication, it seems they don't know what they are doing in their office. It as completely waste of time. Very stressful dealing with this company. I will not recommend anyone.

DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!!

DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!!I was a tenant in one of their properties and the landlord wouldn't complete any maintenance within the property leaving me with several different issues. I called multiple times and nothing was ever done since I moved in till i moved out. TENANTS RIGHTS! You don't have any with this company may aswell live on the streets. Horrible customer service, Horrible people, Take advantage of your being young. Can't even complain as its so difficult to find a complaints procedure.

The team were very friendly and efficient Simon Wilson was brilliant from start to finish he made everything so easy for me and kept me informed throughout the sale as this was a family home of 57years and he was very respectful of this and he was so mannerly and friendly I will definitely use Reeds Rains again.

I’m very impressed with Rachel and Catie at Reeds Rains. They are a formidable team - they’ve achieved better result in one week than the previous agent hadn’t achieved in 5 months. Professional, honest, impressive.

Poor, I wish I had not used them as a management for my 2 properties, my advice - do not do the same.

Poor, Poor, Poor. Rhyl branch is dismal. Following a previous bad review, I was called by the Rhyl branch and the main issue of the problem at the time (the centralised management) was removed and work was taken into the branch. This worked well and I would give the service at that point 5 stars. Queries were answered, requests were actioned and local trustworthy business were arranged to do work at my houses when required (the centralised system used a contracting firm which charged high fees, did poor work and on one occasion claimed to do work which the tenant confirmed that they hadn't actually done. When pointed out, they withdrew their claim for payment without argument). I was very happy, my properties were being managed well. Unfortunately the person providing that service at the branch left and things deteriorated. Poor management from the branch has cost me money. All the bad things you hear about estate agents are currently encompassed within this branch. Lies, not doing what you've asked them to do which leave you feeling that they do not care about you as a customer as long as they get paid. Rent smart Wales have introduced lots of new rules and regulations that as a landlord you might think "This is too much hassle, I'll get an agent involved" if you do, my advice is do not choose Reeds Rains Rhyl, you will end up regretting it as I have with both the properties I had with them. It's going to cost me money to get away from them, but it is worth it. They are dreadful.

Criminal organisation

Criminal organisation. Also operate at "Your Move". As a landlord I received fraudulent invoices, months of failure to respond to calls and emails. They turns out they lost the keys and the tenancy agreement. End of contract 29th Sept. Still they haven't shared any paperwork and are still withholding funds in November. Lots of promises from David Tomlinson, not one fulfilled. Avoid.Update: now December, despite the response on here, no reach out or resolution.

Avoid using this company

Avoid using this company, especially the Sale branch. On the first day, they rented us a property in poor condition and it had not been properly cleaned. Now that we have moved out, they are withholding our full deposit, claiming there were ongoing issues, despite us reporting problems from day one and providing photos as evidence.

Terrible property managers

I hir d reeds and rains to manage a dental property and oversee the letting. It has been a nightmare!The tenant severe the notice period whicj they missed for two months and only noticed when the rent stopped coming in. Now we are late at listing the property for rent by two months and loosing rental income..Moreover, R&R's compliance department has been chasing the tenant for defaulting even when he vacated the property after providing appropriate notice.It has been a terrible experience both for me the owner and the tenants

Inhabitable

As soon as you’ve paid your deposit and started paying rent, you won’t get much communication from them. It is basically Impossible to get any maintenance work done - we were left with leaks, mould, lights not working, carpet ripping up, drafts and more. It takes almost a year to get someone to come and look at the problems, then nothing is done despite chasing every day. You ring and email daily but get no response.Glad to be out of there. We were once without a working boiler for over 2 weeks in December. It took me threatening legal action for them to follow some sort of protocol. Even then we were passed around different people who didn’t seem to know how to handle the problem. It gets to the point where it is just unsafe. And after all that, the landlord took the whole deposit to buy a new front door which was not like for like. The property had a lot of potential but it’s not well managed at all.

Discriminate against the elderly

Well it was shocking from the start and got worse quickly. Agent turned up late, didn’t know where the property was, I found the right door. Did know how much per month so that was a surprise but I did know that. Despite that I put in an offer to rent as require a place to live due to a severe fire in my apartment which my elderly mum was lucky to escape and the place was close to my flat. Going through the process the agent apologised as she put the property was available on the ad however she said it should’ve been the 29th Sept, so had to push for the 22nd as a move in date. Now it’s looking heavily unlikely as the Right to Rent doesn’t cater for what the retired and elderly have documentation wise and the agents (Aky) stick to this even though there’s exceptional circumstances as documentation was lost in the fire and homeless. In these cases this needs to be questioned and fed back to management. No wonder homelessness is on the rise. Absolutely shocking customer service all round and now we have nowhere to live because we chose the wrong place.

If I could review this estate agents lower I would. I initially signed for a property in 2021 with a partner - they messed us around for weeks at a time and made the moving in process as stressful as possible which lead to them finally releasing the keys after office hours despite having a moving van waiting all day. Immediately after moving in we had to make a formal complaint due to having to wait over 8 weeks for acknowledgement on maintenance issues. Not something you want straight after moving into a property? Not to mention later going 3 days without heating or hot water in the height of winter.They shut us up by offering to pay compensation of £150 for the inconvenience.However, later in the tenancy the other tenant moved out leaving me, a single young woman, living alone. The landlord, an older gentleman, turned up to the property without notice several times. On one occasion, I granted access to the property for him to review some damp problems, whereby he made multiple inappropriate comments about how my tattoos would look better without my clothes on, and that I was safe going upstairs alone with him. A few days after this, he knocked on the door at circa 7pm at night asking me to go for drinks with him.Being a woman living alone, knowing that this man is aware of this and is in a position of power, I didn't speak out until the end of the tenancy.This landlord then decided to claim over £700 of damages from myself. Luckily, we used the Zero Deposit Guarantee scheme and so they disputed this on my behalf and over £500 of this claim was rejected. Leaving me to pay just under £185 which was settled at the end of 2023.However, over a year after the end of the tenancy, Reeds Rains has just contacted me stating that I owe them £22. A reminder this was paid in 2023, the year that the tenancy ended.I would never ever recommend anybody to use this estate agents, it's a law suit waiting to happen and they clearly don't care about the safety of their tenants from landlords taking advantage of their position nor do they communicate with each other at all and prefer to harass previous tenants.

Lyndsay and her team at Consett, could not have been more professional, helpful and pleasant in dealing with the sale of my bungalow. Nothing was too much trouble and I was very impressed with the service I received. They are all assets to Reeds Rains.

Worst estate agent in Liverpool!!

Worst estate agent in Liverpool!!! Avoid Reeds Rains Liverpool at all cost.Unethical , poor communication, unprofessional, very stressful. Avoid avoid, avoid.I flew in from Geneva after fixing two viewings, 301, 3 Kenyon Steps, L1 and The Strand, Liverpool L2.We waited in front of the property for more than an hour on 2nd Aug for 12pm viewing. One Abdul qadir was supposed to come to show us the property.Mr Justin Barton had confirmed the viewing on mail so we booked our air tickets.He did not show up, and after frequent calling Reed Rains we were told that he visited the concierge and returned. Holy hell..!!! Such fraudulent people. There was no confirmation or communication from either Reed Rains nor Abdul Qadir.Our precious time, money, hotel bookings ,all went for a toss.Thankyou Reed Rains for your callous behaviour. The properties listed never existed I suppose. So ultimately its your loss, not mine.

Carol is rude

Carol at the Ashton under lyne branch is lazy and rude. Couldn't really be bothered when viewing a house and was looking at me like I'm poor when I actually purchased outright with no mortgage. When I called the branch to put an offer on a house she took my offer then never called me back. I chased and she rudely laughed at me down the phone saying I wasn't in a position to purchase said house (how would she know this?) so I withdrew and bought another with home estate agents.

Reeds Rains Rhyl

The team in Rhyl were amazing. As first time buyers we didn’t have a clue on the processes and Derry explained everything and kept us up to date during the purchasing process. Matt was brilliant with his mortgage advice and made the mortgage process so much easier than we imagined. Would highly recommend to anyone buying or selling.

Look no more, Nicola, Craig and Dea are your people…

Sold our flat with Reeds Rains Estate Agents Plaistow. We had exceptional service from start to finish, thanks to Nicola, Craig and Dea. Their professional photos were taken immediately after we signed up with them, all of the viewings were handled professional.Nicola from Reeds Rains Estate Agent Plaistow has been excellent. She was professional throughout. She listened and acted to suggestions as well as providing advice and support. The real unique difference to other agents is she was always available working well beyond office hours as she really puts her heart and soul into her business. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell their home.
