The Reeds Rains team at Bamber Bridge…

The Reeds Rains team at Bamber Bridge branch were fantastic and we would highly recommend them. Communication was timely and clear when arranging viewings and feedback was meaningful (thanks Alison & Rebecca). Donna the branch manager negotiated the sale price on our behalf and kept in regular contact up to completion. We ended up in a chain of 8 homes which was a nightmare. Numerous issues and delays arose at various points in the chain resulting in 4 different dates for exchange & completion before we finally moved house. Rebecca and Donna were amazing during this period - they established communications with other estate agents, liaised brilliantly with solicitors and their forensic skills at getting to the bottom of delays in other parts of the chain and helping to resolve these if they could were excellent. We felt fully informed - even when things were beyond our control. They helped us remain optimistic whilst being fully informed. They had a great balance of friendliness and professionalism.

waste of time

booked a viewing for Wednesday, they went through with the viewing, even though the listing had already been removed, which seemed dodgy. The agent said that the application package would be emailed to us in the morning, we called to double check where it was as it was already mid-day and they said it would be with us by the end of the day; however, the packages were never sent to us as the listing was clearly gone. Complete waste of time and messed us about for no reason. Agent name: Jack

Playing people hopes and reams

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with the way my recent property search was handled by your agency. The level of communication and mismanagement that I experienced throughout the process was absolutely unacceptable, leaving me feeling deceived and disheartened. Furthermore, I find it absolutely baffling that no one from your agency saw fit to inform me about the existence of a higher cash offer on the property. It was only through my own proactive initiative of contacting your agency that I learned about the competing offer. If I hadn't taken it upon myself to inquire, I can only assume that I would have been kept in the dark indefinitely. This lack of transparency and failure to communicate effectively is inexcusable and demonstrates a severe lack of professionalism.The entire ordeal has left me deeply saddened and questioning the integrity of your agency.

Hi Melis,Many thanks for your feedback for us to review as we strive for excellent customer service and all feedback is acted upon straight away. Unfortunately we do receive multiple offers on properties in Salford and we can only have one successful buyer. I believe following an afternoon of dedicated viewings with myself you have had on offer accepted on another property with a cellar that met your specific requirements on a property which is great news. Hopefully going forward you will be happy with your alternative purchase more suited to your needs which we found for you and I wish you all the best in the future now all this has been resolved. Regards,Ben Eastham - Branch Manager

Reeds Rains in St. Helens/I am sold auction

Reeds Rains in St. Helens and especially Hayley Hughes and Steff Bretherton in my case have been incredibly helpful with both my rental property and also sale of my rental property through the" I am sold" auction website. I cannot praise them highly enough and also the ease of he "I am sold" auction for the quick and easy sale. I would HIGHLY RECCOMEND all to anyone in the property industry to work with them!!

I’m not sure what their issue is but…

I’m not sure what their issue is but I’m starting to go down the route of discrimination. I applied to two different properties to rent and they sent me an application. I reduced the price on both properties with my offer. I heard back from Sophie stating that’s they have gone with another application and will let me know if it doesn’t go through. The next day that property was on rightmove again,for the exact price I wanted it for. I called, resubmitted my application, left voicemails you name it. They told me she was only working for one hour in the day and that she will contact me tomorrow. We are going on two days now and have heard absolutely nothing.The second property I put in an application for. They didn’t even get back to me. Just re andvertised again at a reduced price. Didn’t let us know, didn’t even try to renegotiate which we were open to.I don’t know if they have a problem against us in particular but as I am reading some reviews nobody has been treated like us. Really disappointing to see because we more than meet the criteria.

Poor experience - beware

If you choose Reeds Rains, and hand the keys over to them for their accompanied viewer, please check your property as soon as possible after any viewings. We ended up with a significant repair bill after a redundant disconnected shower was operated (Who knows why, but the accompanied viewer was there in charge of the property?) resulting in water leaking into the kitchen below and collapsing the ceiling, initial consultation with a caring branch manager escalated into a complaint which of course sided with the accompanied viewer, a very biased process. Very little empathy and absolutely zero goodwill. **Update, just read the reply from Reeds Rains probably ticking their caring box, as expected heard nothing from them. Empty promises!!!**

The team at Reeds Rains,bamber Bridge have been fantastic! The whole process has been handled with total professionalism with a personal touch. From our first viewing Alison won me over with her amazing service and understanding of everyone's situation.She has negotiated us through lots of queries as my purchase wasn't 100% straightforward. Donna was also very prompt with any responses to emails and also so friendly and reassuring . I would not hesitate to recommend Reeds Rains and am looking forward to inviting Alison round for a brew soon. its rare to get such brilliant service in today's world! Thank you all

Highly recommend

Myself and my partner have just bought our new home from reeds rains and I can not praise them highly enough. One of the estate agents in particular Dawn went above and beyond to help make our purchase as smoothly as possible.We experienced a lot of problems on our selling side and reeds rains ended up taking charge of our sale as well as our purchase.Can not praise them enough. They’ve been absolutely outstanding amazing communication/updates and so pro active. They managed to get communication going with various solicitors too in order to complete the chain

Bamber Bridge Branch

It was not easy buying and selling a house during the pandemic. We dealt with Donna, Alison, Rebecca and Joe, a great team led by Donna. Advice and guidance was direct and plain speaking, one of them always available at the end of the phone to calm anxious customers. The conveyancing process with all the various chain issues can be difficult to navigate, it was important for us that this stage of the process was handled well and we felt supported and kept up to date with developments. All in all we received excellent service during what can be a testing process.

Phoebe 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!

They 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

House 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.

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.

Friendly, 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.

Quite happy to see you homeless

I Agreed on a let with the Bamber Bridge office for a property in Bamber Bridge. I completed the application process and paid the admin fees. I gave notice on my current property and arranged a transfer of utilities etc.2 weeks before my moving date, they advised the landlord had changed his mind and cancelled my application. The olive branch was an offer of a property £300pcm more expensive.I'm now scrambling try to find somewhere to live as i'm working away next week and which leaves me a week before i'm homeless.Thanks for nothing.

To 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.

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.

Guisborough 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.

Outstanding Customer Service …

I cannot fault the excellent service that I received from the staff at the Holmes Chapel branch of Reed Rains, especially Tallulah-Mae.Although in the end I did not actually use their branch to purchase a property, their help and advice on a number of occasions was not only very professional but delivered unconditionally. I could highly recommend them as not only being ethical but very friendly and sincere in their approach to customer service.

Very welcoming and understanding staff

I was given brilliant service by Reeds Rains when I went into their St Helens branch looking for a place to rent. One of the staff there Ellie made me feel very welcome and helped me out massively. Ellie was very patient and accommodating to my situation, spared no detail when explaining the processes necessary for a first time renter. Would highly recommend this estate agent to anyone who needs to start renting a property

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.
