I decided to go through RR langworthy rd Salford branch to let my 2 bed GF flat. This flat was my parents abode before they passed away, so it was a little emotional for me to be putting strangers in the place.RR put the first two people that came along in it, and retrospectively, the vetting/reference process was none existent. After 20 months of what can only be described as 'piggery' in my property, I was left with £3400 of damage to put right. The accumulated filth over the period of time should have been picked up on their routine visits. It was not. What I got from RR was - you have just been unlucky. These things happen. You have to expect some damage. This experience was very distasteful due to the emotional side of things. Do not touch RR with a bargepole.

Penwortham branch... excellent professional service

First of all, my girlfriend and I would like to say a big thank you to Rachel and Adam for literally everything they’ve done for us from finding the perfect property and going through with the paperwork. Secondly, they were really kind and easy to work with throughout the whole process.A big thank you to you both again!!! I’d definitely recommend the Penwortham branch to everyone!

Stay away

We have rented a house through Reeds Rains for 2.5 years now, never had any major problems, rent inspections every 3 months, but they always manage to find an issue; carpets need cleaning, nick in Lino where dishwasher has slotted in, they’ve even gone as far as requesting us to clean the drive way, but I believe this to be the bloke that owns the house. I’m very particular my home so I was quite upset to learn that I had been judged like this! We have already come to terms with the fact that we are unlikely to receive our bond back, even though there are no major issues with the house.We have only had two cause for concern issues, the second one arising today. In the summer, no one was at home for the gas man who coincidentally knew the landlord (not Reeds Rains), personally, so he came with a spare key and let him in while no one was at home! It was actually my day off and the gas man was 30 mins earlier than expected, I had the shock of my life when I returned home. Today, I got a text from my bank to say that I was in my overdraft! I thought bloody hell, we’re not even in January yet, how did this happen?! Reeds Rains had taken two lots of rent direct debits totalling over £1500! I rang their accounts team who fobbed me off and told me it was my banks issue! After twoing and frowing, Halifax have managed to claw back one of the direct debits, but it will take 24-48 hours to show in my account. Reeds Rains customer service is diabolical!**edit as can’t reply to comment - Haxby Branch

Not the best experience with them

Recently booked a house viewing with them, never received any confirmation of the viewing and they never sent me the full address so I had to call up on the day to get the details and to confirm. Once we arrived the agent didn’t introduce himself at all, and just didn’t seem like he wanted to be there, he sounded very bored. He didn’t know any information about the property and couldn’t answer any questions that we had. He didn’t sell it at all, I’d be fuming if he was selling my home! Wouldn’t want to use them again

The estate agent

The estate agent, Steve was brilliant so down to earth and gave me honest feedback which I can use. I felt comfortable letting him into my house and that I could trust him. I will only use Reeds Rains when I sell or rent as can tell they are professionals that I can trust. He was on time for the appointments and very approachable.

Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this…

Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this must be the best estate agent in Nottinghamshire.Nothing was too much trouble for them.Led by their wonderful manager Matt all of his staff were helpful,friendly,polite and efficient. Due to their efficiency my mum’s property was sold on the first day as they had notified a couple who came to view it at once and snapped it up as realistically priced(£20,000 more than another estate agent who had also priced it).They dealt with everyone of my queries in their usual quick and meticulous manner.The manager Matt led by example and along this journey offered his help every step of the way and reiterated this every time I phoned or called into the office.This estate agent was recommended by a friend of mine and I’m so glad I went with them as they made what could be a very stressful experience into a very pleasant one. I cannot sing their praises highly enough and cannot understand the bad reviews given to them as I am recommending them to all my friends who want to sell their property.

I am a Landlord and was dealing with Reeds Rains at Eastwood Nott's in January 2019 and the Tenancy has now terminated.The staff at Eastwood and Chesterfield do not understand the Legal Requirements of a Tenancy agreement and Signed on my behalf after I had expressly told them not to, saying I would allow the Tenant to move in and we would sign the agreement when it had been amended as there was so many errors in it.They went ahead anyway and signed on my behalf.I have now moved to a more professional company

“It’s not our problem”

We live in a rented house and the filter on the oven was very loose when we moved in. When we moved we emailed them and they said that they could sort it out. Since then it has completely fallen off. We have been emailing reeds rains for weeks on end now and only just got a reply, saying that “it’s not their problem anymore”. We phoned them up and they hung up. Thanks reeds rains, you’ve got something really special.

It's been 3 days now since I rang the holderness road, Hull branch to arrange a viewing on 2 properties, the young girl on the phone I spoke to was pleasant, said she'd pass it on to the sales team who have not bothered ringing me back, she did mention 1 property was under offer but I should still be able to view it, especially if I put in a higher bid, I've got a good mind to go see the owners and let them know that this company is stopping or just can't be bothered to contact me and arrange a viewing.

Gurdit was great!

Gurdit in the cheadle branch was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He took me on my initial visit of a property and it was a fresh of breath air as he took a genuine interest in myself, work life and current situation. I would recommend Gurdit to anyone and he is an asset to Reeds Rains!

Donna has been amazing - explained everything, been honest and caring and enthusiastic. My property had an offer in 3 days and has got 20k more than the asking price. Donna’s knowledge pitched it just right. Thank you to Rebecca for doing all the viewings - great team - highly recommend.

A TOTAL SHAMBLES.

A TOTAL SHAMBLES.Would award 0 stars if I could.Handed the keys back to our property 2 weeks ago today, the inspection (which cost £120) took place 2 days later. The inspection showed each room in the house to be in "good condition" "good domestic clean" and "no maintenance required".Superb, the deposit should be sent back within a few days I thought, as has been the case with all other estate agents I have used previously.Not this time though. Despite the report showing the house to be clean, I was informed a week later that the landlord was looking to deduct some cleaning charges which came as a huge surprise given the reports of the inspection and also our own photos which we took before leaving, showing the property to be in great condition. Over 30 calls/e-mails ignored, and still now 14 days later the hopeless staff in the Reeds Rains call centre are unable to advise an amount that the landlord is looking to deduct. This company is great when setting up and taking your money but beyond a joke when it comes to giving your deposit back. Staff in the branch not interested in helping, instead palming you off to the call centre who are totally uninterested and quite frankly, totally useless.Avoid at all costs - an utter shambles who are only interested in taking your money.Unsurprisingly when I shared my experience on social media, there were several more comments from people who had also been ripped off when trying to claim their deposit back.Bigger con artists you will struggle to find.

If I could give 0 stars I would.

If I could give 0 stars I would.Absolutely appalling company. I will never recommend them to anyone, in fact I advised my friends against renting or purchasing a property with them to the point that their “dream house” is now in the process of been purchased through a much better company. The communication in Reeds Rains is laughable, their lack of communication is really what annoys me. I was renting a property, due to circumstances out of my control I had to leave the property. The terminations team for Reeds Rains. SHOCKINGLY BAD. It’s over 2 months later and I’m still waiting for my deposit back. I was told it would take 10 days. I’m constantly chasing them for the return of my deposit, email after email. Call after call. Nothing. I hear nothing from them majority of the time. The repairs I asked for were still not done by the time I left the property. They are horrific company. I’ve never had a worse service. I might be young but I know my rights as a tenant, a humans and the way they treat me was not right. I’m disgusted. They’ve caused damaged to my mental health, the stress this whole situation has caused me is endless. At one point it cause me to have fear that I could lose my job due to it causing me so many issues. Reeds Rains, if I could I’d stop you trading. No one deserves to be put through what I have nor should someone have to deal with a business like you.

Just finished renting a property in widnes. Accesser came out and rated cleanliness of house good, which was rating when we took property over. They now trying to charge us for full carpet clean of house. These are the worst I've ever come across in all my years of renting. Also had report for 5 days before they released it as you only have 9 days to put a compliant in.they are the biggest crooks when it comes to trying to get your deposit back. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

moved to write my first review

I have never written a review about a company before but feel moved to write one now - this is an appalling company. I have had nothing but bad experiences from day 1 with Reeds Rains. They are at present engaged in a last minute cash grab from existing customers for ‘renewal fees’, a practice outlawed for new customers since June this year, and for existing customers from May 2020. It has been outlawed (along with guarantor feed) because it is an unfair and unnecessary fee - If the agency approaches you with this fee DO NOT AGREE TO PAY - if they insist, ask to go on to a rolling (periodical) contract.Expect three monthly flat inspections with the letter of notice being sent out on a Friday night for an inspection midweek the following week. Every time. This is NEVER convenient. I like where I live, it’s conveniently located and reasonably priced and the ONLY reason I am considering moving is to get away from Reeds Rains. In short once you’ve signed a lease with Reeds Rains expect a company that couldn’t care less about you as a tenant.

Terrible company

Terrible company. I rented a property with them and had a nightmare getting my deposit back. Customer service on the phone were extremely poor, saying they would call back or email back and never doing so. One advisor lied and said they didn’t have the facilities to forward an email they had apparently sent to me - an obvious attempt to hide the fact the original email was never sent. Took 3 months of chasing to get a figure back for deposit deductions, and when it came the quote had no breakdown just a seemingly random figure was sent with one week left to dispute it. Deductions included things not noted on the end of tenancy report, and when asked they could not produce photos of so-called ‘damage’. They gave me the wrong deadline date to dispute meaning I missed the deadline. Luckily the deposit protection company extended the deadline for me and they resolved the dispute by awarding me almost double the amount of deposit that Reeds Rains we’re going to give me.I also completed a subject access request, to which the response was ‘are you sure as this can take a month?’ It is my right as a customer to have access to my data, it is not appropriate to ask if I am sure I want this information. When my SAR was completed it did not include all my information. It only includes emails and letters that I already have, I wanted a full audit trail of notes and conversations between me and the company. I complained to the appropriate channel almost two months ago and have heard nothing back. In my opinion Reeds Rains are an unprofessional company who abuse their position to keep money from their customers. I would never recommend.

They don't want your business, just your money!

Apparently, this company cant "sanction" the use of third parties to complete Inventories / Check Outs etc.As an Inventory clerk of 11 years and a Landlord for 4, I know the importance of having a third party complete these inspections rather than an under qualified (in regards to completing inventory reports) letting agent, with limited experience and a bias opinion.I pay for 3 fully managed properties and the reply I got when asking them Reeds Rains to out source my inventories so that they were completed by a fully qualified clerk who I have used for more than 10 years, was that I should take my business else where!AstonishingTo add a little more; I only asked for this to be done as the quality of report I was receiving was horrific.

I visited the Fishergate office.

I visited the Fishergate, Preston office yesterday (12th Sept), and would like to say how impressed I was with the member of staff who dealt with my query.Sue Taylor, a member of staff, welcomed me to the office and asked if there was anything she could do to help me. I explained I am looking for a property to buy, with a view to renting out. She told me of properties currently available, within my price range, and offered to arrange viewings if required. She gave me her company card should I need to contact her.A very refreshing customer service from Sue Taylor, compared to others I have visited on Fishergate, which is why I decided to make a review. Thank you. Will be in touch.
