The 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.

Never rent from ReedsRains!
Never rent from ReedsRains!Their fragmented departments make it impossible at times to get any fluidity to responses. Constantly late in terms of dealing with return of payments, they often mis-calculating amounts and show a complete lack of empathy with any issues raised. Their Hub is particularly bad at customer service and I feel they are only out to get as much money out of you as possible. They prefer you to over pay then claim reimbursement, however getting the money back is an absolute nightmare. At branch level they complete dismiss responsibility and tell you to contact the faceless Hub if you have issues. Both these elements of the business do not seem to be well coordinated at all. Maintenance issues are not dealt with promptly.They often shun responsibility and you end up chasing your tail trying to get an answer. Horrible company with terrible morals!I would honestly never take a house rented by them under any circumstance again.

Every year poor services of maintenance!!!
Every year we have to leave a poor review to this maintenance company!!!! It takes literally days to come and contact you in regards of fixing your watter issues (some very old boiler broken)!!! And then it takes them some more additional days to have someone available to come and check, because their availability is not OK when it is for you too.... And if you tell them 3x times you are not available on the evening when they call you (after days have passed), they keep on pushing it as they would be literally deaf!!!! And we have this little process every year 2 or 3x times... Because the boiler is suuuuuuper baaaaad and oooooold!!!! Very poor quality and extremely old!!! The company suuuuper ruuude!!!! Other then that they could just put a proper boiler but hey hey... They do not want to....So very very upset about the quality of their services!!!!

To determine our home's value for sale
To determine our home's value for sale, I completed a Zoopla form that forwarded our information to several local estate agents for valuation. Reeds Rains Cheadle branch contacted me by phone and gathered personal details and property information during a seven-minute call. They scheduled an appointment a few days later. However, I received a subsequent call indicating they could only value the property if it was listed immediately.In summary, they collected all necessary information but failed to achieve the primary objective, resulting in a waste of time and unprofessional behaviour on their part.

Reeds Rains Wrexham
Reeds Rains Wrexham. If I could give zero stars here I would. Currently renting a property via this Agent and are treated with a complete lack of courtesy and in fact disdain. Correspondence is completely un-professional , abrupt and to be frank rude.Reeds Rains, the rent gets paid on time every month, the property is kept in superb condition, by us, and has been cleaned (it was filthy) and improved by us, your second class citizen customer.Maybe some staff training could improve this but I would simply avoid if possible.

Stunning sales service
When you entrust your house sale to Estate agents it’s usually a nervous , stressful time . With the Congleton branch of outstanding professional women the service is second to none . The gentleman in branch not the same level of service ......Every woman within the business I’ve spoken to throughout my unusual property, have guided me from start to finish ....Katie is my main point of contact and I can recommend Her as the perfect agent , without her by house would not have had the footfall re viewings ....

Property selling - Pro-active attitude, weekly updates, ready to assist with tasks over and above just marketing and finding a buyer. You get more than expected from these Estate Agents

Fantastic service
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. I took their advice on a couple of issues and, as a result, sold my property quickly. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Great service.

Great Service
Reeds Rains have been amazing so far. I have dealt with Mark and Nicole so far both who are very friendly. The process has been super quick, my house went up for sale on their website on the Friday and an offer accepted on the Saturday. Just waiting for the legal side of things to happen now so fingers crossed for no issues!

Reeds Rains - horrible experience and they will cheat you!
I dealt with Macclesfield branch as a landlord. They will be very nice to you and get you sign a contract with vague contract. They will make sure they don’t tell you important information. In my case I wanted to end fully managed contract as a landlord after tenancy agreement was ended and they asked me to pay full months rent as an exit fee. They have this clause in contract that you do have to pay exit fee but the whole contract is written as if it all applies for tenure of tenancy agreement, and that’s where they will cheat you!!! I had to pay money to come out of contract since property ombudsman is useless and takes month to reply. My advice is to make sure you ask them to write down very clearly about any exit clause but rather not use them because they cheat you through their terms

Slow, misrepresentative and poor attitude
I’m in the process of trying to rent a flat through this company and the level of service hasn’t been great. The listing for a studio shows a 1-bed and gives a studio rent; the virtual tour is the same. I’ve asked repeatedly for an application form and they’re dragging their heels with providing this to me. I love the property and I want to move there as soon as I can but the way the company has acted so far is seriously making me want to look elsewhere. The attitudes of the letting negotiators and agents are also really poor considering I’m eligible, eager and highly interested.

Maria at Reeds Rains Rothwell
Maria has been brilliant in dealing with the sale of our property. In fact, she was the one who found us another purchaser when the first buyers pulled out. She has kept us regularly informed, chased everyone up repeatedly and has been helpful and cheery throughout. She obviously loves her job and it shows in the service she provides, so a huge THANK YOU Maria, and if you’re ever in Scarbados …

The service was outstanding throughout, dealing with many hiccups along the way.The team are so professional, especially Gaynor who went above and beyond the call of duty with my sale.Thanks to them for taking so much of the strain out of the selling process.Would highly recommend this company

This is a review for Maria Hammill from Rothwell (Leeds) branch of Reeds Rains . Maria was very professional from the very beginning . Providing clarity and advice on all the aspects of our buying process . Very nice , friendly and experienced person.I would highly recommended Maria & Reeds Rains . Very professional attitude and fast response. We ‘ve moved to our new house in 9 weeks. That explains it all.

Premium price but not premium service - Holderness Road, Hull branch
This estate agent's fees are nearly double that of other estate agents in Hull to sell a property and the service they provide is appalling. They wanted to charge me an additional £200 for photos of my property 3 weeks before Christmas. I refused and took photos of the property myself. After the sale was agreed I waited a month for an update on how the sale was progressing and in the end had to ask for it. In that time the Sales Associate dealing with my property had left the business and my buyer had gone on holiday without putting a mortgage in place. Reeds Rains never proactively informed me of either of these things. When I complained about their bad service the Sales Associate was rude told me 'it wasn't her job to give me updates on the sale' and that it was my solicitor's responsibility. The Branch Manager simply said 'he took everything on board' but never actively did anything to manage the situation. They also made several error on official documentation and never provided me with written details of all viewings and offers.They made the process difficult and stressful so I ended up contact my buyer directly so that I could complete the sale as Reeds Rains offered me no assistance. Reeds Rains are one of the most expensive estate agents in Hull and from the service I received the only way they helped was to post my property on the property marketplace websites - something most estate agents do to sell a property. If you are considering selling your property in the future please help yourself and use a local estate agents, not this national company. Their fees will be less and you will probably get a better service.

Fantastic service
Alison and Donna at Reeds Rains, Bamber Bridge have been amazing from the start. firstly when I met them at my brother's house without the keys!! Right through to today, completion day. I hadn't sold/bought a property before and Alison has been brilliant talking me through the process and has been in touch the whole way through. Honestly I don't think she could have done any more. Huge recommendation from a property newbie!

Our family moved into a rented property…
Our family moved into a rented property with fully managed maintaince service. We have so many things in this house that need to he repaired. Its A4 page full of problems including leaking roof, front door we can't open properly, cracked windows and it goes on.All we get is contractors coming for a quote and us being told you are better off moving as the house has extensive issues and reedsrains won't pay when the contractors come and asses. We are having to fight through the council disrepair team as noone from reedsrains maintainance team can tell us if anything will be fixed. This has all been going on for 4 months. Meanwile fhe landlord told the disrepair team that all has been fixed, so basically lying. We have two kids and to say it's been stressful is an understatement. I don't understand how they can leave us living like this and expect full rent in return.
Hi there, I'm sorry this has been your experience. I've sent you a request for further information so we can try and resolve your issue. Kind regards

Underhanded Cons!!
Was a tenant via Reeds Rains Salford Quays, for a year. I was a perfect tenant, looked after the place and was then served with a no fault eviction notice. This came after a yearly 'thorough property inspection' where agent was in the property for all of 56 seconds, and did not move from inside the front door, which I have on cameraThen had £351 of my deposit deducted, including for day to day wear and tear, and it took a month to get the rest of my deposit back.I have photos of the apartment from when I moved in to when I moved out.I have also contacted BBC Watchdog, to present my case to them.
Hi Andrew, I'm sorry you feel you have needed to write this review. The landlord advised us he needed to move back into the property and therefore instructed us to serve notice - obviously this is out of our control. In terms of the quick routine inspection - these are designed to be quick and efficient - in a one bedroom apartment they don't take too long to carry out. Finally regarding your deposit I can see you agreed to the deductions and were offered the opportunity to dispute the deductions which you decided against. If you wish to discuss the matter further please feel free to contact me on 0161 236 9088 or at greg.davies@reedsrains.co.uk. Kind Regards

Laura provided an excellent service. From the first contact she gave me many options, and once I chose my apartment she supported me throughout the entire process. She was always helpful and professional. I highly recommend her!

Amazing service from the Reeds Rains team in Scarborough
The Reeds Rains team in Scarborough are very friendly, helpful and professional. We would especially like to thanks Alex Kennedy who has helped us throughout the whole process as first time renters, she always answered any questions we had and made the whole process a lot easier! Everything went smoothly and Alex proactively ensured all documents were received. Thank you so much Alex!! We would highly recommend Reeds Rains to others!

Appalling service at an important time.
After asking for a valuation after the death of my mother I was told an online estimation could be done. After a week I heard nothing. On ringing them on the morning of seeing the solicitor, I rung to ask if it was lost. I was told "oh yes, it's in Dave's diary. Would you like him to email it tomorrow!I said that would be too late. The lady simply told me " ok, thank you, bye"Not even close to the kind of service I expected from the company who came top in my Google search. Obviously i will go out of my way to ensure no one I, or my family knows ever uses this estate agent.
Hi Sharon, I've sent you a request for more information. The request will come from Trustpilot. If you could let me know some more details that would help me look into this further. Sorry this has been your experience. Kind regards
