Reeds Rains in Durham, and Tony Hunter/Deb in particular, have been fantastic. We changed estate agents to Reeds Rains after a slow moving process with another company and have been tremendously impressed by the professionalism and efficiency provided. Our sale hasn't exactly been the smoothest of processes, but has been managed, communicated and worked through thoroughly by both Tony and Deb and we couldn't recommend them more. If I am ever in need of an estate agent in Durham, Reeds Rains will be my first call. Thanks again for all of your help.

After asking Reeds Rains of Durham for a valuation we were visited by Hannah and decided to use their services. We then had a visit from Tony Hunter who outlined all we needed to know about the process and explained how they would market our house. We were then introduced to Deb's our excellent contact for the sale, after just two weeks we had a potential purchaser and the sale is progressing well towards a completion. I would definitely recommend Reeds Rains of Durham as an Estate Agent of choice.

I have dealt with many of the Reeds Rains branches in the North East over the past years and can honestly say the Durham branch upkeep those high standards set, impeccably. Lucy and the team go out of their way to provide a top service that I could not recommend highly enough. If you're buying, selling or investing in this area this is the place to go!

Was supposed to move into a property this month, both very excited to get the keys etc we paid the deposit on the 15th of December so we give them plenty of time we even phoned up to let them know we paid it, a few weeks past and we have 0 communication back not even knowing what was going on so my partner goes down to see what is happening to get told they apparently never received the payment and blaming it on a system error! Like are you being serious! We even rang up to tell yous we paid the deposit! So then they say they have given the house to someone else! I'm absolutely disgusted with what happened and the excuses we got. We even got told we can get the keys on the 1st January! Such a disappointment.

Shellby · 21 January 2024

Agent replied · 6 February 2024

Dear Shellby, Thank you for your comments and I am sorry to see that you are disappointed in the service that has been received. I know that it has already been discussed with the team that unfortunately, there was a system error that meant your holding deposit had not showed as paid, I do apologise that this has happened. I can see the team had tried to contact yourselves in the lead up to paying the holding deposit but had not had a response. I understand that the monies paid have now been refunded to yourselves, please do let the team know should you require any assistance in your property search in the future and we will be more than happy to help you. Kind Regards, Jenny Gledhill, Lettings Manager

Finally at the end of a very long dispute after they wrongly claimed for redecoration due to marks caused by damp, fleas in the house when my animals have never had a single flea on them and damage that existed prior to my tennacy. It was obviously all thrown out by the dispute service. Constantly get calls and messages from them requesting access to a house under their control when I moved out months ago. Even got an email saying I was a lead tennant in a property in middlesbourgh when Ive never lived in my life! Allowed me to live in a property where the central heating didnt work throughout the winter months. Only got a message saying they were coming to quote for repairs after id finally moved out!

Elliot · 24 November 2023

We have tried to reach out to you to discuss your points made and should you wish to contact me directly please don't hesitate to do so on: jenny.gledhill@reedsrains.co.uk. Many Thanks Jenny

A truly excellent letting experience. Having spent the better part of a decade in the area, this has by far been the smoothest and most pleasant experience I've had with an agent. Jasmin and the team answered all of my questions promptly and professionally, and took care of everything in a very timely manner. Incredibly happy all round!

I have dealt with the team at Reeds Rains (Durham) and especially Gemma Wayman with various properties both as a letting agent and from a sales perspective. Their service has been first class and I would not hesitate to use Gem & the team again, along with recommending them to all Landlords / Sellers & Buyers.

I am leaving a 5* review on the account of Jasmin, who went above & beyond what was required of her and stayed behind on her workday just to give me the keys. This was much appreciated and allowed us to move in smoothly. Thank you Jasmin!
