GoogleHighly recommend Sarah and Gem from Reeds Rains, Durham. They have rented out my property three times, always going above and beyond. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for myself and Gem. It is a pleasure to tenant your property. We look forward to working with you again in the future! Many thanks Sarah and Gem :)

The staff at Reeds Rains Leyland have been amazing. I completed an application for the house as soon as I had viewed it which is very efficient and a good system to have in place. I would like to thank Olivia, Jessica and Carole for being so friendly and answering my questions. Thank you.
Hi Sam,Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are always delighted to hear positive feedback about our team at Leyland.

TrustpilotAbsolutely furious lied to and ignored
Absolutely furious with the lack of customer service. I was sold an auction property by Lisa Sharpe - told there was a tenant in there for the next year, and that rental would be taken care of. She lied, tenant was moving that week. I bought in June - still not completed due to buyers solicitor not sending accurate information and ignoring my solicitors emails
Hi Miss Spence,We understand your frustration with the situation and apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. We value your feedback and will take it seriously to improve our customer service. We would like to investigate further for you but will need further information. A request will come directly from Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

Richard has been very informative about the importance of selling the house in a difficult market and Pam has always been very helpful and positive in the office. I would highly recommend that you contact them if you have a property that you would like to sell quickly. Best regards, Nigel

TrustpilotReeds Rains Congleton
As a first time buyer, to be told the wrong completion date from Zoe was annoying.The day before I phoned to say I doubt that’s happening as our solicitors haven’t said it will be.They still told us we will be moving in.This is because Reeds Rains Solicitors sent out the paperwork too soon to the sellers and dragged it out for 3 weeks sending us our paperwork that we needed.

I purchased my first Home with Reeds Rain and with Jen as my Real Estate. Whole experience when viewing home to completion has been smooth sailing! Jen was very responsive to my messages making the purchase much easier. Highly recommend Reeds Rain & Jen :)
Great to hear! Thank you for the review :)

GoogleFinally 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!
I am sorry you feel you have had a negative experience with us, I understand that the dispute process is lengthy and can be frustrating. 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

TrustpilotExcellent customer service!!
So incredibly grateful that we have Alison Whiteside on our team. We had a really long, tough battle on our hands with many issues, however Alison was always on the other end of the phone to offer her help and reassurance. She fought our battles for us, she made us feel like we weren't a nuisance. I cant thank Alison at Reeds Rains Bamber Bridge enough. This is the lady you need on your team! Thank you, thank you, thank you!We are also thankful to Rebecca and Chris who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a few occasions. We would recommend them over and over again! x

Still have received my deposit after 3 months of vacating one of reed Rains properties. I have gone through mydeposits Dispute and the agency was ordered them to pay back the deposit a few weeks ago, but no payments have been made. I have made complaint to the property Ombudsman and the national trading standards estates and letting agency team, in preparation to take it to court. I don't understand why they are stalling and the constant lies whenever you speak to someone on the phoneNoma
Hi Noma,Very sorry this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We would like to investigate this matter for you. We will send you a request for more information, please respond to it.Regards,Reeds Rains

Trustpilot0 stars or less - useless complaints department
0 stars or less. Complaints department is pretty useless. Unfortunately I don’t think there is a complaints procedure about a complaint against the complaints department. Woman answered like a teenager with a bad attitude sounded immediately like she was up for an argument, to call her a manager in this field is degrading to those who are that actual profession. Had a lot of wrong information. Not professional, being advised that my out look on life needs to change and simply siding with the landlord on every front no professional phone etiquette. Being told my complaint to save £100 was ridiculous, Completely uneducated in contract law, but adamant that she was correct and everything I did say that was clearly correct got responded to with a ‘yeah, but…’, no sign of taking responsibility,admission or apology when they are incorrect about something. Not sure if she has been trained in how to deal with customers with complaints, almost as if she expected me to be happy about making a complaint. Needs further training.
Hi there,Very sorry to read your review. We apologise that this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We would like to investigate this matter for you. We will send you a request for more information via Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotNever again
Requested repairs to the property that I was renting in multiple occasions, never happened, and currently 3 weeks after moving out and still have not received my deposit back and can't seem to get a straight answer. The flat was dirty when I moved in, I cleaned from top to bottom when I moved out including shampooing and wet vac to carpets. it was way cleaner than when I moved in. Yet still won't return my deposit. Leaving me struggling to pay my bills, fuel my car and buy food.Thanks for putting me in this situation.Plus when the flat was for sale whilst I was a tenant, I found out when they booked a viewing! I wasn't even informed it was for sale.*Update*Further information provided as requested and no response from them since.
Hi Ben,Sorry this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We take your comments extremely seriously. In order to look into this further we will send you a request more information via Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotThe worst company in the UK
If there is a minus one million star, I would definitely give it to Reeds Rains, which is the most gross company in the UK from the start of the universe. How tolerant the britons can be to let this kind of company last for more than 150 years. After I became a tenant, the emails from them read like it was from a concentrate of Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un. I have requested to add another name to my renewed contract. After 6 months they told me they forgot it and asked me to provide the info about the name of my renewed contract so they can carry out some other procedures (Yes, still not care about my request). Three days later, their aggressive and unprofessional staff blamed me for not providing information and threatened to make it worse. I f**king have a life,I am not some simpy who checks email boxes every day just for your emails. Of course I replied aggressively as well. And they didn’t offer any apologies. Well, it is not worth complaining like this if the story just stops here. Months later, their regular inspector came and inspected this house, which was smooth and there was a small issue. The inspector didn’t mention it needs to be replaced, and all I need to do is to use bleach to clean it. However, another aggressive and unprofessional c*nt dropped me an email and threatened me that they would tell the landlord and they want me to replace the whole thing, which was restored to the original state by bleach and didn’t take me 5 minutes. This time I did not send aggressive emails again, because all people in this company are like this. There is no reason to argue with c*nts. I have just told them I would leave and found myself another place to live. So dear reader, if you have already taken so much time to read my comment, why not take my advice as well, “Run, Forest run”. THIS COMPANY IS ON MY BLACKLIST FOREVER!!

TrustpilotExcellent service
Many many thanks to Olivia at Reeds Rains Hebden Bridge in helping us secure our latest home move, it was a property that we didn't expect to be offered, due to the area and the size of the house, which on both aspects are great, so it was a really pleasant surprise on getting our rented property.From the initial viewing to then liaising with Olivia / Reeds Rains, nothing could have gone smoother, highly recommended.This is the second time we've used the services of Reeds Rains, after we used the Halifax branch back in 2015 to sell our property, of which on that occasion all went well.. won't hesitate again to use again once our tenancy expires in 2023.Thank you Olivia and Reeds Rains.Jody and Tim
