TrustpilotThe only estate agent with a personal touch!
Out of several estate agents contacted Reeds Rains were the only agent to contact me personally and at a time that suited me as I am not a UK resident.
We're so glad we could accommodate your schedule and provide personal contact. Thank you for your kind recommendation! Regards, Reeds Rains

Still waiting for my deposit back after 5 month ! Now saying landlord disputing it.. also waiting on calls back from phill in the office is a joke! Told constantly he’s not there or will call back to never hear from him!
We apologise for the deposit return delay and any communication issues. We take your concerns seriously and will look into this, please let us know which branch this was with. Regards, Reeds Rains

TrustpilotDeposit not returned
Moved out of a property over 2 weeks ago, no deposit returned even though full return was authorised by the landlord. No communication from the office, no one replies to emails honestly shocking from all departments. We have even been chased for rent that is not due. Our deposit seems to have disappeared into thin air and no one will get in contact with us from Reeds Rains Didsbury, we are horrified at the whole process with them. We received an email to say our deposit was no longer being protected over a week ago, but it has not been returned to us since it was sent, so where is it? DO NOT USE THIS LETTING AGENTS

TrustpilotFrom the word go
From the word go, they were very friendly and professional. And gave a sense of knowledge in the hopeful sale of my property, which only took several weeks and was over the asking price. Wouldn't recommend anyone else!

TrustpilotMy property at Leyland is being managed…
My property at Leyland is being managed by Reeds rains, Chorley branch. Being a new landlord and also converting my property into an HMO has been extremely stressful. But thanks to all the staff at the Chorley branch for helping me out with every step; particularly the Lettings manager Nick Reid. He has so much confidence in his voice that it was very reassuring when I spoke to him; thereby making the whole process less stressful for me. Even after being transferred to another branch he continued to look after my property until it was all ready to be let out.I cannot thank you enough and I will highly recommend Reeds Reins. Fantastic staff!!
Hello - Thank you so much for taking the time to write a positive review, we're always happy to hear our team in our Chorley branch is providing a great property management service. We will be sure to pass on the good words!Many thanks,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotReeds Rains Woodseats - Angela is a star!
Just bought our first home where Reeds Rains were the agents. We had quite tricky sellers and the whole process ended up taking far longer than it should have, but Angela was an absolute superhero in pushing things forward for us, chasing the sellers and both sets of solicitors to keep the pressure on for us. Considering we were paying her a penny as she was working for the seller not us, she really went above and beyond to sort out our issues without ever making us feel like a burden.We'll definitely be asking for Angela when we come to sell our house in the future!
Hello Rosie - Thank you so much for taking the time to write a great review, we're so glad Angela and our Woodseats branch provided you with a great service, we'll be sure to pass on the good words. We look forward to hearing from you in the future!Many thanks,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotDO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!
DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY! I am a teacher and work full time and am a professional person in every aspect. I rented a property and when I moved in it was filthy and I discovered fleas in the carpets as the previous tenants had kept cats against the rules of their tenancy agreement. The inventory they gave said the property was in "good, clean condition" throughout. It was disgusting. I contested this straight away. Nobody ever got back to me to address these issues or offer support. I have now been given an inventory upon moving out which shows the damages and obviously says I have caused them. Whilst I was living there their contractor came out to collect a quote for new carpets which had been damaged by the cats and to keep that money from the previous tenants' deposit. There is some kind of scam going on because they provide you with a copy of the inventory which says it is in great condition but are obviously taking money from people's deposits each time. I think they hope most people will give up pursuing them for money in the end if they make it difficult but I intend to go all the way to the property ombudsman and take legal action if I need to. I have sent photos taken the day I moved in, all emails sent and received to local branch for investigation. They were sent tracked and tracking shows they were received two weeks ago but I have yet to hear a thing. Meanwhile my deposit gathers interest in their account whilst they recieve rent from a new tenant. Thoroughly corrupt. Pontefract branch.
HI Miranda, sorry to hear this. Could you let me know which branch you were dealing with so i can look into this further. Kind regards Emma

TrustpilotDiscrimination
After seeking advise from CAB I’m completely and utterly appalled I have been discriminated against due to being on Maternity. Been made feel terrible because of my personal circumstances. I’m absolutely furious and upset to say the least. I have had to move due to Marriage Breakdown. And move in with my parents with my young baby.I was offered a house providing my mum made the payments. - can I not be trusted? The rent was then put up from £525 to £540! So basically I’m being held to ransom! The reason I need to move so quickly is because my Dad has Cancer and is being treated with TB, as a result my 3months old baby is not vaccinated.Sorry..... I’m not that desperate. The house wasn’t even decorated to a high standard. Still required a lot of work in the garden/painting.It’s not the only estate agents that have made me feel like this, it is a disgrace how you are treated because you have to claim benefits until I go back to work.Everyone is tarred with the same brush! People who has abused the system have ruined it for people like me! Just need abit of help so I support my daughter and I. I wouldn’t mind but I could provide a guarantor and three months rent upfront. On a positive note, Janet (who works at the Pemberton Branch) is so nice! She went above and beyond for me. Just a pity her colleagues aren’t the same!
We are sorry to receive your feedback and would like to reiterate that we do not discriminate against tenants in receipt of benefits and that many of our properties are available to tenants who may be in receipt of housing benefit; whether a guarantor will be required will, however, depend on the financial circumstances of the tenant as a whole. At the time of your viewing, as you mention, the property was in need of further work and had not yet been valued for rental purposes nor was it available to rent. The rent quoted to you by the landlord was based on an estimate and on the condition of the property at that time. Following substantial improvements to the property since your viewing, and a formal valuation of it, it was placed on the market yesterday at a rental price of £545 pcm ; reflecting the rents charged for similar properties in the area. If you remain interested in the property we suggest that you contact your local team again who will be more than happy to support you in your application or in finding an alternative property for you.

TrustpilotSelling my house - Simples!
Reeds Rains Pontefract staff have been excellent. They've kept the system smooth and simple from initial meeting, through to photo session, to arranging viewings and second viewings, and achieved a very good price for my property. An excellent team:thanks to Elise, Ash and Vicky, not to mention Sarah who worked on the marketing brochure. Well done.
Happy we made it smooth sailing for you!

TrustpilotVery very painful renting experience so…
Very very painful renting experience so far and still not moved. There's always something else that needs to be done. They never call back when they promise to. They withhold important information. I just don't trust them anymore. Not even sure I can ever move my family into their new home. Now looking elsewhere. My stress levels are sky high due to Reeds Rains.After the reply from Stuart: thank you, thank you. This is the first time in 4 weeks of pain and frustration that someone has actually said SORRY! Such a simple word with so much meaning. You guys are experts with your processes, but to the detriment of the human element. Your customers are all human. Don't ever forget that !I haven't received a sorry from the agent yet for not returning calls and lying, and withholding information though but this is a good start. Thank you Stuart.
Hi Paul,Sorry you're unhappy with the time it's taken, but we do need to make sure everything is properly processed at the beginning of the tenancy to try and prevent difficulties further down the line.In this case, we received two tenant applications on the same day and the landlord took a few days to decide which to proceed with. You had a change of employment during the reference checks and, unfortunately, this meant we needed a little more time to conduct our tenant checks.We have now fixed the move-in day, and contacted you to confirm this.Stuart

TrustpilotThe worst customer service ever
The worst customer service ever. I rented my home out through them, they allowed pets in my home after I had specifically told them no pets. They let one tenant sub let a room, and did nothing about it. They let a tenant move her boyfriend in, 3 years down the line I'm still getting letters from bailiffs and debt collection agencies. They have been no help whats so ever getting it rectified. Calls were never returned. The photos they took when tenant moved out, where inadequate for the company dealing with my claim against the bond. Even though I paid for them to fully manage the property when ever there was a problem they could never find a contractor I had to find my own. Stay well clear
I'm sorry you've been unhappy with our service. Please contact our Customer Relations Department so we can investigate this as a formal complaint. You can do so by emailing rrcustomerrelations@reedsrains.co.uk.To see our full complaint process, please visit https://www.reedsrains.co.uk/contact-us/lettings-complaint-branchReeds Rains

TrustpilotAppalling service
Would not recommend this company at all. Very rude staff at Crossgates branch. Booked an appointment for a valuation of my home for today on Tuesday/Wednesday. They rang to confirm yesterday and then received a phone call this morning saying they have to cancel without giving a reason so he spoken to Claire the manager who then rung us and said she doesn’t cover LS16 and that it would take 45minutes from crossgates to cookridge! I know for a fact it doesn’t take that long. There was no apology, there was very poor customer service and the comment we received was ‘I am not willing to argue about this’ when we didn’t even receive an apology !
Hi Abigail, I'm sorry this was your experience. It is true that our agents only cover certain postcodes, and will not be able to give a valuation in a postcode which is out of area. You should have been informed of this when you originally booked your valuation and we apologise that this was not the case, clearly as a result of a breakdown of communication between our teams. I also apologise that you feel our agent was rude on the phone. Reeds Rains
