TrustpilotGood luck getting your money back.
We have been renting through Reeds Rains for over two years now. In the meantime we have moved from one property managed by them to another one. Needless to say the move was anything but flawless (they wouldn't consider >100K £ / year as income because I'm employed via an agency and so on).The fun part starts when you ask for your deposit back from the previous property, managed by them. Countless emails, countless requests for updates. Very little back, blaming the landlord and so on. I've agreed to their exit report and everything, I just needed an update from the specialist "moving out team". The landlord personally contacted me this weekend to say that he is trying to return my deposit but Reeds Rains is making it difficult for them to do so. We are going to start legal proceedings but as far as Reeds Rains go:- Asked for who the manager is for the moving out team (no reply).- No complaints or code of conduct policies on their website- Incompetent one line replies basically saying "we are also waiting for an update from the landlord". For weeks.- no support as a tenant. Feeling talked down to despite being a customer for years.I would strongly advise people to seek someone else for their letting needs, be it landlord or tenant. I wouldn't trust them with buying or selling a house either since their process to get a deposit back and move to another property is so shockingly poor.

TrustpilotCompletely garbage, I wish I could give a negative mark, fail company, never work with them.
Never response to ANY enquiry, they will only contact you when they need payment from you for work, they will never follow any instruction, they are never taking any responsibility.Long time in the industry only let them know how to forbid any responsibility that they need to take, you are always only on the loose end.Try them if you are brave enough, at your own risk.I am now suffering and waiting to terminate their service
Hi Max, sorry to read your review. We take customer service really seriously so I will look into this further and get back to you. Kind regards

I have been helping a friend who has lost his son recently and his wife has now been admitted to hospital. There is a personal matter relating to a letting which is managed by Reeds Rains which required a sympathetic consideration. The matter was handled by Megan both sympathetically and professionally. In a hard business world sometimes decency and empathy shine through.

TrustpilotDisgusting, No Professionalism
The worst renting company I’ve ever had the displeasure of being with!!! REEDS RAINS HANLEY IN STOKE ON TRENT!!!I move out in 4 days… 4DAYS!!! And I’ve been emailing them the same email for 3 weeks straight they won’t email back they’re completely ignoring us, now that we’ve paid our last months rent they couldn’t care less about us or our move… we’re stressed and it’s causing serious problems with my health! Don’t be surprised if you receive a letter from court for negligence to your tenants… absolutely disgusting company!!!

This is one of the fraudsters on Stoke high street. Security deposit will not be protected, and you will lose it without explanation, as there is zero response to email and calls to the agency, or to the central of theirs. Highly NOT recomended. Prepare to lose money on them! It is 3 months down since closing the rental and they do not care to give your money back.
Hi Peter, very sorry to read this has been your experience with us. 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 and help you resolve this. Kind regards

TrustpilotAWFUL experience, choose another agent.
AWFUL experience. I was moved into a house that had not been thoroughly checked by the estate agent, so there was no ventilation in the bathroom (legal requirement), a missing fire alarm, broken glass, the property hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, no working freezer, no security alarm... the list goes on. I had to go into branch a number of times, emailing for months on end, was told by a maintenance team member to 'forget it'. I managed to end my tenancy early which cost me a lot of time and was very stressful. They now are making no effort to attempt to get my deposit returned, so I'm having to formally raise a dispute. This is months of unnecessary stress. Save yourself the pain, don't rent from them.

TrustpilotUnnecessary charges for buyers
Beware. If you happen to buy a property from them. Each person will have to fork £48 ID checks. That usually done by solicitor as part of their package. While they need to verify.i don't see the point of extra payment. I would say go get that money from their customer ( seller of property)
Hi Hardik,Thank you for your review. We take your feedback extremely seriously. We would like to look into this further. You will receive a request for more information that will come from Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotVery disappointed in Reed Rains…
Very disappointed in Reed Rains Evesham, sale of my house took far longer than it should have due to their lack of due diligence (which they claimed was there strong point) sale fell through twice, I had to push them for communication every week and all they kept saying was “we have put a call in? We have sent an email” Best bit was with in 30 minutes of Me telling them I had exchanged I received their bill!!!Would not recommend unless you are prepared to wait and chase them every step of the way
Hi Colin, I am really sorry to read your review; we take customer satisfaction very seriously here at Evesham. Unfortunately we can’t find you on our system, please can you give me an email on: Antonia.Bowler@lslps.co.uk so I can help get to the bottom of this. Kind regards, Antonia Bowler - Marketing Assistant

TrustpilotIneptitude, arrogance and dodgy practices.
I used Reeds Rains for two years or so whilst renting out my house in Sheffield. I chose them as I believed (wrongly) that they were a professional company with a good reputation. The work they carried out was to a mediocre standard - they’re essentially a middle person between you and the tenant and take your money for the pleasure. They paid rent when they felt like it. You couldn’t get hold of anyone when you needed to. That sort of thing. Ultimately, you’re fielding phone calls and sorting various bits and pieces out yourself. I’d advise anyone to think carefully about using an estate agent these days to manage their property - especially Reeds Rains. The real issues for me came when my tenants moved out at the end of April 2020. The tenancy was due to terminate on 12th May 2020 and they were technically liable for the property until then. I did not receive my keys back from Reeds Rains until 12th May even though it had been vacated two weeks earlier for this exact reason. Reeds Rains also provided me with documentation and emails confirming the tenancy would terminate on 12th May 2020. I asked them to chase the 2 weeks outstanding rent from the tenants and a further £52 for damages. Now, bearing in mind this money could have all been deducted from their initial bond, Reeds Rains instead decided to alter paperwork and return the full bond to the tenants. I received an email, that had clearly been sent to me accidentally by an employee, which had the exact same wording as previous paperwork confirming the tenancy date ended on 12th May 2020. However, the date had been changed to the end of April. They tried to explain this was an ‘administrative error’ but quite clearly couldn’t be bothered to chase the tenants for the money I was legally owed. Reeds Rains back peddled, passed me from person to person (I must have spoken to 4 or 5 members of staff who passed my case between them). Smoke and mirrors but fortunately, I’m not easily confused. Unlike the people at Reeds Rains lettings. They’re either inept or wilfully lying. Anyway, they waived the money for the final inspection they expected me to pay for… the one where the inspector left lights on overnight. They wouldn’t make up the difference in rent arrears despite it being their error and paperwork clearly being altered after the fact. Imagine this, a company changing paperwork posthumously to meet their agenda. I emailed regularly to chase up discrepancies and money I was still owed - eventually, they just stopped replying. A reputable company failing to pay a customer and then just ignoring them. Great customer service. You can imagine my surprise when in 2021, Reeds Rains were still sending me invoices - despite the fact I’d not been using them for a whole year. I have the emails and letters to confirm my account of their services. Pure ineptitude, arrogance and dodgy practices from this well known company. Avoid.
Hi Wes - sorry to hear this. Could you confirm which branch you have been dealing with so I can pick this up with them? Thanks

Everyone at Reeds Rains in Grimsby were brilliant especially Sophie and Jess. I put the house on the market and it sold straight away. It was my divorce that made the process far slower but they were amazing and kept in touch. They were so nice. Thank you for everything 😊

TrustpilotHighly recommended.
We had to sell my mums house after she passed away suddenly. Jack and Jeremy made an awful experience so much easier. We live 350 miles away and they took care of everything: the viewings, valuation etc and kept me constantly informed. I can't recommended them highly enough. Professional, courteous and very approachable. I found their charges more than fair.

We bought a house and were promised by the Manager that the house will be cleared of all rubbish. We still found rubbish and kept on requesting them to clear and they were not interested.I am surprised after reminders and so many reminders they ignored.Try to avoid if you can, can not be trusted.

TrustpilotGreat service with patience and a welcome sense of humour!
I sold my parents' property in Sheffield with Reeds Rains Dinnington. I dealt with Carly, Andrea, but primary Elizabeth March as my personal contact. The sale was not straightforward, but at all times Liz was courteous, fair to both parties and had an all-important sense of humour. She and they are a credit to the company and deserve tremendous praise and thanks.

TrustpilotDont use in house solicitors. Be warned ⚠️
Decided to put our mothers house on the market. Back in june . When someone wanted to buy it . we was advised to use there solicitors oniell patient solicitors from MANCHESTER not local which was strange. . Well the buyer was a cash buyer so should be straight forward i thought. Well here we are week 7 and no further forward. Tryed calling them to query time put on hold for eternity asked for several call backs nothing . So went through estate agent and guess what no help. Just told to sit and wait . Well its all good well but when you have no where to live after house is sold and you cant put your name on a lease until you get a date . Well how long does a no chain sale take . Me i thought weeks not this shet show by both parties on this . I would never use a in house solicitors again . Never . Stick to local firms not call centres .especially after reading the reviews about the solicitors.

Sue has been a fantastic support to me since the day I joined the Liverpool branch Reed’s rains. I always trust her to let me know what’s going on and she is fantastic at getting issues sorted both big and small. She’s so easy to speak to

TrustpilotAVOID AT ALL COSTS!!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!4 years ago the council came to inspect the property to make sure the house was suitable for living in. After finding numerous issues they put together a long list of maintainence problems that needed sorting within a month. Reeds rains act as the middle man between my landlord and myself and after endless phone calls and the works still not been done 4 years later, I have had to get the council involved and now the local MP due to there incompentance. I never get up dated, myself and the land lord have been repeatedly lied too, phone calls and emails not returned, refusal to speak to a manager, messages to the manger to call never returned, a call regarding broken boiler and no hot water (I have a son) resulted been told in "boil the kettle and fill the bath that way (I have a one cup kettle for starter ffs!), my sons asthma aggrivated by the damp and mould unresolved issues in the house, leaks in the house never attended too, same contractors coming a to do quotes in the works 4 times in the last 4 years with no work actually starting, the wall crumbling in my sons room, leaks in the roof.... I could go on an on to the point where this review would end up been a book.The property management team for reeds rains are an absolute disgrace!! Not one of them would be able to tell the @rse from a hole in the ground.Reeds rains... Get your bloody act together!!!! Landlords pay you a monthly fees to do a job and that job never gets done.I have rights as a tenant and this tenant is sick to the back teeth of all the lies and incompetence. I am now taking my case further!!Reeds Rains.... As for you reply below, the issue is with your company, not the landlord. You are the middle man as said before and it is you who have neglected to pass on the correct information to all parties as well as ignoring the issues and allowing this to continue for 4 years. The senior has called me and continued to lie and was called out on then tried to back track on what she said. You need to stop passing the book and do you jobs!
Hi Kerry,We are disappointed to read your review. We are continuing to work with your landlord to try to address your concerns and a senior member of our maintenance team will be contacting you to provide an update.Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotCustomer should come first
Asked to view a property they said it will take five days then they said if interested it will take four months for the tenant to leave and purchase the property and would only accept a very inflated price I don’t think they are interested in selling the property or that’s how they made me think whoever is in charge of this company needs to get a grip because there staff don’t seem to have the company’s interests first,very disappointed at the service
Hi,I'm sorry you have not been pleased with the service you've received from Reeds Raoms. Customer service is of paramount importance to us. Please email enquiries@reedsrains.co.uk with some further information regarding your review.Kind regards,Reeds Rains
