Not impressed with Reed's Rains Burnley..They are very underhand at using tactics when trying to sell. They alsi Contact you when your out of Contract to persuade you to take another viewings .There Contracts seem illegall, or misleading to say the least.They never give feedback by on viewings, even when they have trampled all over your house.Also they only ever seen to get viewings of people who have no funds ready to purchase.. Absolute unprofessional agent.

TrustpilotProperty sold to someone else once mortgage had been approved
I was going through Reeds Rains Huddersfield branch for the purchase of a property. I had provided the mortgage in principle certificate that they had asked for and once the mortgage was approved called them to tell them that this was the case. In addition I provided my solicitor details for conveyancing as they had requested. Unfortunately due to a technical error at the mortgage provider's end there was a 2 week delay in the survey being booked. In the interim of the 2 weeks I was told that the property had been sold to another person! The day after I was told this the surveyors rang the agents and were also told that the property was no longer being sold to me. When I rang the branch to see what had happened I was told we had taken too long and they had sold the property to someone else. When complaining to the branch manager I was told that I should have provided evidence that the mortgage had been approved, however I was never told to provide this by the agent that I was dealing with! I was also told that we took too long to book the survey. I was told this even though I had already provided solicitor details and the mortgage in principle certificate when asked to. Understandably this was a terrible experience and I can certainly say that I will not be going via Reeds Rains to purchase a property.

We’re sorry you’re disappointed to have missed out on this property. Your offer was accepted almost 5 months ago, but in that time the seller lost faith when evidence of the mortgage approval was not forthcoming. We did offer you the chance to speak to our in-house mortgage advisor which you declined. We also attempted to contact your own mortgage advisor directly in order to expedite the process, but were unable to get a response. The other buyer showed evidence of the mortgage approval within 48 hours of their offer being accepted. Reeds Rains.

Trustpilotlack of competence
I sincerely advise against renting a house by this agency. They are supposed to full manage and service the property, but they don't. I am the one constantly chasing things up. The only thing they are interested in is your payment. Currently since 3 months, I am trying to enforce the repair/replacement of a broken bathtub and other major issues. Not working radiator in the bathroom is also not a problem for them. Their contractor for a month does not even have time to appear. After the request for repair, I received a letter saying that I should pay a tax council for the period when I did not rent a home. A complete lack of competence.

TrustpilotAppalling Service - Chorley Branch
Appalling Service - Chorley Branch.I've had nothing but issues from day one. They have no communication skills whatsoever. I have reported faults regarding the property I rent and many times they 'forget' to even note it on their system, or they haven't contacted a contractor, or haven't informed the landlord. It's ridiculous. I even sent a complaint in to the brand manager not long after I moved in due to the state of the property and they claimed it was done by a professional, when I was even told by one of their staff the previous tenant was cleaning it up. It was a right state and the smell of the property was disgusting. Has I checked the property again before signing the contact I wouldn't have signed it at all! They are supposed to full manage and service the property, but don't. I am the one constantly chasing things up.If you try to complain they just blatantly blame it on you and don't accept responsibility for their lack of organization, communication and general lack of attention to the job.

Trustpilotwould never rent off Reeds Rains again.
We rented a fully managed property off Reeds Rains and it was a horrific experience. We waited 5 months for a bedroom door to be fixed that was mentioned before we moved in. Then 5 months for a broken gate. They have no empathy at all. Each department blames the other or the landlord when repairs are not carried out. Our over all experience was absolutely horrific. Also staff in the Cheadle branch speak to you like your beneath them. It’s was so bad I couldn’t speak to them without loosing my temper.

TrustpilotExtremely poor customer service. No respect for a customer.
Extremely poor customer service. They have refused put my offer forward as I declined to take the mortgage with them. They said that my AIP which I had from my bank is not valid from them. After my Financial Advisor called to them they said that they accepted to put my offer on. After two hours I received the message that property has been sold.ReedsRains not to be trusted, they are cheat, they will try to force you to take out mortgage from their broker. No sense of care for customers.I will not ever deal with ReedsRains again and avoid any properties that are associated with ReedsRains.

I'm sorry you've been unhappy with the service received Greg J. Please could you email us at https://www.reedsrains.co.uk/contact-us/sales-complaint with more details including your full name and the address of the property to we can investigate the specifics of your case.Without knowing the specifics, it's difficult to give a full response, but I can say that we always take steps to find out from the buyer the source and availability of their funds and pass this information to the seller. Our normal process would be to have this assessed by the Mortgage Advisor in branch. This is not only good customer service to ensure all offers are proceedable, but also a requirement in the Property Ombudsman's Code of Practice (clause 10a). We would never discriminate against a buyer who had not used our mortgage services.

TrustpilotPoor communication
Poor communication. Over promise under deliver. No strategy to market a property bar putting on rightmove and hoping for the best. Our property still on the market after three months no offers and reduced asking price. Neighbour with exact same house and same initial asking price under offer within 3 days using Smartmove. Cannot get replies to e mails. Lack of motivation to keep our business. An e mail is being sent to Head Office. Lost out on the property we wanted.

TrustpilotBE WARNED!! Very disappointed with RR
Bad communication, very disappointed, seemed to appear professional but in reality totally the opposite. I put in an offer in the range of asking price, no reply for 2 months and finally when I chased up, I was told the property was sold, but the property was still available on the market! Finally when she replied after 2 months, lady who was dealing with my request suggested that if I still wanted to be considered that I should put in an extremely higher offer than the asking price so the offer cannot be refused.I found that very cunning and extremely disappointing because the actual price sold for was significantly less than the offer I initially made. ReedsRains not to be trusted, they are cheat, slow with bad communicators. No sense of care for customers. I will not ever deal with ReedsRains again and avoid any properties that are associated with ReedsRains.

Horrific experience. Zero customer services skills, blamed me for mould in the property I let from them which later revealed to be written in the inventory which was completed the day before I moved in, therefore they let me a property which they KNEW was mouldy.

TrustpilotReeds Rain Ilford - Horrible experience in every respect.
We purchased our first property from a seller who used Reeds Rain in Ilford. As I work in a property related field I am not nieve to the process.We put in an offer for the property based on a number of conditions being met. One of which was a clear timeline for completion. We were assured that there was a very short simple chain and that it would be an easy smooth transaction.Fast forward six months and we are still waiting for multiple properties in a branched chain to exchange with complex negotiations still underway.Reeds Rain refused to exchange for the entire time (we didn't end up exchanging until a week before completion.) If we weren't tied into the transaction at this stage we would have walked away 100% as a result of their abysmal handling of the situation.In addition to this, a number of the required conditions of sale were not completed, but we were not provided access to the property to check before completion - but again, we were assured by their office that there would be no problems and that things would be done. In summary of their service and attitude: Their office will never return your calls, you will have to just keep trying to get through to the right person, they will refuse to put anything in writing and once they have finished giving you the sales pitch, you will be nothing more than a number in the ledger and they will treat you as such.

TrustpilotAvoid At All Costs
This is the worse estate agents you could possibly use! They lie, deny any responsibility for any wrong doing, break your legal contract, never action anything they say they will do, cause you stress, financial loss, and have the worse management and complaints procedure I’ve ever known. If you are looking to rent or buy a property I would definitely not recommend using these and I work in the industry.

TrustpilotVery poor customer service
I booked Reeds Rains to value my house and got a confirmation email. On the day, nobody turned up so, 20 mins after they were due, I rang the office. The girl who answered the phone seemed uninterested and totally unapologetic and disinterested. Even after an email to complain I got no apology, just a question about if I still wanted a valuation. I will not bother with them again.

TrustpilotCentral office let them down
This is a review as a landlord who used reed rains simply to find a tenant. The local branch in Hebden Bridge did this pretty efficiently. I had it in writing from the central office that after 6 months they would send the tenant a letter explaining that it was now a rolling tenancy. They didn't and are ignoring my requests to do so. So very quick to take the letting payment...I will use a locally based letting agency should i need one again.

The overall sale process worked smoothly and quickly at the initial valuation stage, prep of relevant media material, arrangement of viewings etc., when there were delays outside of the agents control later in proceedings they were proactive in trying to resolve matters and reach a timely completion of sale and we were happy with the level of service provided.

Stay away from this agency as they are so unprofessional, dishonest and offensive (Elizabeth March and Andrea Snook). I had an accepted offer for a house and they instructed me to hire a solicitor and start the procedure. However, after 1 month, they have decided to accept a higher offer. They even did not bother to apologise for my £450 loss. Avoid this agency at all costs.
