The entire team at Crossgates were brilliant, especially James Walker- lettings manager. James went above and beyond to help us to find a property to let when the landlord of our previous property decided to sell. He's been an absolute star, this is the 2nd property that we have rented from Reeds Rain and James has overseen both lets and managed both tenancy's. Thank you so much to the team and a massive thank you to James for all his help. Cheers mate, Dave and Wendy.

Sold my house with reeds rains i’ve had…good experience

Sold my house with reeds rains i’ve had a bad experience with Reeds Rains in the past so was sceptical about using them again until I met Mel, the manager very professional and warm person when my sale fell through she personally took charge and got us back on track with another buyer we lost no time and soon had a sale

Very cumbersome process

This was cumbersome and unnecessary made a very difficult process. I was a guarantor. Then I needed a reference from my employer. I have to submit taxes. Totally crazy. I have no idea how this people can even rent one house. If I wasn’t doing it for my loved one I would totally go somewhere else. They need to tone it down. Pure nonsense. Scary stuff

I am sharing my terrible experience renting from ReedsRains Salford. I am hoping this helps intending tenants and give landlords an idea of what tenants are likely to go through when they give ReedsRains Salford their propoerty to manage.

The staff at Reeds Rains Leyland have been amazing. I completed an application for the house as soon as I had viewed it which is very efficient and a good system to have in place. I would like to thank Olivia, Jessica and Carole for being so friendly and answering my questions. Thank you.

Absolutely furious lied to and ignored

Absolutely furious with the lack of customer service. I was sold an auction property by Lisa Sharpe - told there was a tenant in there for the next year, and that rental would be taken care of. She lied, tenant was moving that week. I bought in June - still not completed due to buyers solicitor not sending accurate information and ignoring my solicitors emails

Excellent service

When you’re are trying to sell your property in a challenging market it’s vital to have an Agent who has belief and optimism about the process ahead. Reeds Raines secured a potential buyer ahead of schedule and I’m truly grateful for their excellent service.

Reeds Rains Congleton

As a first time buyer, to be told the wrong completion date from Zoe was annoying.The day before I phoned to say I doubt that’s happening as our solicitors haven’t said it will be.They still told us we will be moving in.This is because Reeds Rains Solicitors sent out the paperwork too soon to the sellers and dragged it out for 3 weeks sending us our paperwork that we needed.

Richard has been very informative about the importance of selling the house in a difficult market and Pam has always been very helpful and positive in the office. I would highly recommend that you contact them if you have a property that you would like to sell quickly. Best regards, Nigel

Excellent customer service!!

So incredibly grateful that we have Alison Whiteside on our team. We had a really long, tough battle on our hands with many issues, however Alison was always on the other end of the phone to offer her help and reassurance. She fought our battles for us, she made us feel like we weren't a nuisance. I cant thank Alison at Reeds Rains Bamber Bridge enough. This is the lady you need on your team! Thank you, thank you, thank you!We are also thankful to Rebecca and Chris who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a few occasions. We would recommend them over and over again! x

I have used Reeds Rains Consett for over 20 years to purchase/sell/finding tenants etc and always been very happy so they were my logical choice when selling my recent property. They are not the cheapest, but due to my previous-positive experiences, I was prepared to pay the premium. It’s been several years since I last used their services in which time the staff have changed. They are very nice people to deal with but sadly my experience this time was less than satisfactory. No communication whatsoever unless prompted by me. I was fed fabricated stories to buy time, they provided completion dates which were nothing more than made up to buy more time, and they even had the audacity to blame my solicitor for causing delays until I pointed them to documentary evidence stating otherwise. Overall, disappointing experience, so unfortunately, I won’t be back. This is not a personal attack on the individuals, but they clearly lack experience which is a shame. No doubt they will deny what I have said as it’s a natural response to be defensive, but I have all the emails & phone records to back up my experience. Communication is key in any business, but sadly in this case it was not only poor, but almost non-existent unless prompted by me. We finally got there in the end, but it was a painful experience… Regardless, I wish the branch all the best in the future…

A super bunch x

What a lovely bunch they are! Helpful and knowledgable and always there to answer your questions.It’s a stressful time but I’m glad and reassured they are just that call away. With their help hopefully we will be moving into our new home soon.

Still have received my deposit after 3 months of vacating one of reed Rains properties. I have gone through mydeposits Dispute and the agency was ordered them to pay back the deposit a few weeks ago, but no payments have been made. I have made complaint to the property Ombudsman and the national trading standards estates and letting agency team, in preparation to take it to court. I don't understand why they are stalling and the constant lies whenever you speak to someone on the phoneNoma

0 stars or less - useless complaints department

0 stars or less. Complaints department is pretty useless. Unfortunately I don’t think there is a complaints procedure about a complaint against the complaints department. Woman answered like a teenager with a bad attitude sounded immediately like she was up for an argument, to call her a manager in this field is degrading to those who are that actual profession. Had a lot of wrong information. Not professional, being advised that my out look on life needs to change and simply siding with the landlord on every front no professional phone etiquette. Being told my complaint to save £100 was ridiculous, Completely uneducated in contract law, but adamant that she was correct and everything I did say that was clearly correct got responded to with a ‘yeah, but…’, no sign of taking responsibility,admission or apology when they are incorrect about something. Not sure if she has been trained in how to deal with customers with complaints, almost as if she expected me to be happy about making a complaint. Needs further training.

Never again

Requested repairs to the property that I was renting in multiple occasions, never happened, and currently 3 weeks after moving out and still have not received my deposit back and can't seem to get a straight answer. The flat was dirty when I moved in, I cleaned from top to bottom when I moved out including shampooing and wet vac to carpets. it was way cleaner than when I moved in. Yet still won't return my deposit. Leaving me struggling to pay my bills, fuel my car and buy food.Thanks for putting me in this situation.Plus when the flat was for sale whilst I was a tenant, I found out when they booked a viewing! I wasn't even informed it was for sale.*Update*Further information provided as requested and no response from them since.

The worst company in the UK

If there is a minus one million star, I would definitely give it to Reeds Rains, which is the most gross company in the UK from the start of the universe. How tolerant the britons can be to let this kind of company last for more than 150 years. After I became a tenant, the emails from them read like it was from a concentrate of Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un. I have requested to add another name to my renewed contract. After 6 months they told me they forgot it and asked me to provide the info about the name of my renewed contract so they can carry out some other procedures (Yes, still not care about my request). Three days later, their aggressive and unprofessional staff blamed me for not providing information and threatened to make it worse. I f**king have a life,I am not some simpy who checks email boxes every day just for your emails. Of course I replied aggressively as well. And they didn’t offer any apologies. Well, it is not worth complaining like this if the story just stops here. Months later, their regular inspector came and inspected this house, which was smooth and there was a small issue. The inspector didn’t mention it needs to be replaced, and all I need to do is to use bleach to clean it. However, another aggressive and unprofessional c*nt dropped me an email and threatened me that they would tell the landlord and they want me to replace the whole thing, which was restored to the original state by bleach and didn’t take me 5 minutes. This time I did not send aggressive emails again, because all people in this company are like this. There is no reason to argue with c*nts. I have just told them I would leave and found myself another place to live. So dear reader, if you have already taken so much time to read my comment, why not take my advice as well, “Run, Forest run”. THIS COMPANY IS ON MY BLACKLIST FOREVER!!
