Reeds Rains Macclesfield Branch are the role model for how other estate agents should operate. A breath of fresh air to deal with staff that are so “switched on” and excel in every part of the process. RR Macclesfield constantly deliver results especially with property that could be difficult to sell. I will always use the Macclesfield branch as they are quite clearly ahead of the game. I therefore award you five stars !

TrustpilotGood luck if you have any issues in the house, they aren't coming
It's been months to get issues resolved in the house we are renting. Half of the time folks are on leave and no one picks up the maintenance requests. You have to keep emailing and calling to get things done. Very very poor service. If you have a choice to go with another property manager, please do. You will save yourselves a lot of headache and frustration.

TrustpilotAbsolute con artists
Absolute con artists. You sign a document stating rules etc. I briefly remember one of the pointers being "check out fee" but no actual figure of how much this was. To be horror I am sent a bill for £120. Apparently this is to pay for someone to walk around the house and check it is okay. Did I mention the landlord pays the same? £240 for a ten minute walk around? Really???! I then received the report back stating several issues such as lampshade missing (even though it was there but in a different place) damp and mould of front and back door (how and why that is the tenants fault is beyond me).The landlord then came back and stated she wanted £60 from my deposit because I had left my grass cutter in the garage (a phone call about this would rectified this as I forgot about it); apparently she spent 8 hours cleaning the property??? Due to the damp and mould from the doors. The house is old and both doors are old and not fit for the amount of rain water. She then also complained I had smart meters installed "without her permission" clutching at straws there, as smart meter does nothing to alter the property in any way! And aside from that I lived in this property for a year and 7 months of that I lived with a rat infestation!!! I was simply told to just go get some rat poison (even though I had a 5 year old, like you want rat poison with children inside) and some traps?? They did absolutely NOTHING until i reported it to environmental health. The whole agency is a complete rip off with hidden costs. I won't ever rent with them again or recommend them.Taking that extortionate amount of money plus £60 (conveniently a very rounded amount) off a single parent right before Christmas must make them feel really big!!

TrustpilotReeds rains Hull...
Reeds rains Hull...Initially registered interest in a property through website, due to no answer at estate agents, even though they were supposed to be open.Expected to be called once registering, however no call came? Rung the estate agents again and finally got through, lady explained I would have to go through my details again as they can't retrieve my information off website? So I gave details, to be told someone will ring me back. No one did. Rung estate agents again and finally booked a viewing. Took afternoon off work as I work away and went to view property. No representation from estate agents turned up and no access to property due to it been vacant. Strange when Estate agent stated it was in high demand and they had been viewings through the week? Ring estate agents who explained they had been a mistake in the diary and wouldn't be able to view today! Luckily the owner of the property now knows the mess around we've had off reeds rains. Quite simple, no one is bothered in that place. Even though they're a esrare agents, they don't seem interested in viewing or selling of properties. Stay away.

TrustpilotTo answer Reeds Rains reply (unsigned)
To answer Reeds Rains reply (unsigned) It seems strange that when I notified Reeds Rains to release the deposit back to the tenant who had just vacated they sent me an email to advise me that their Eastwood Team would be in touch to help find a new Tenant. I called the Eastwood Office and spoke to the person who dealt with the lettings advising that I do not require their services, She is the one of the team that caused the problem. So it says a lot about so called "full restructure at our Eastwood and Chesterfield branches as a result whole new teams are now in place " It just shows that their management is out of touch and does not tell the whole truth.To sum up the service is poorH Orchard

TrustpilotDO NOT USE!
DO NOT USE!All the 5 star ratings on here are asked for (quite heavily) by the sales agent as soon as you sign!I was emotional blackmailed by Adam (Roterham) to leave 5 star feedback. He said that if I did his team would get extra incentives, prizes and counted on the bonus to earn a good living!I told him, I would need to experience the service first as I'd just signed that day and he didn't take to kindly to that making me feel like I was robbing his team of moneyI just spent hundreds of pounds to end my contract with them.They are unprofessional, never reply to emails. I arranged a boiler service through them, it failed and they did not tell me, leaving my tenants without heat / hot water for weeks.My tenant says when they do the house inspection they are there just 5 minutes and do not even go upstairs!I had to copy the CEO in emails just to get a reply!Adam and Melissa from Rotherham branch are useless, Adam openly made back remarks about the competition instead of selling the good points about Reeds Rains (although know I realise its because there isn't any good points so its easier to bad mouth others)Have to send 10+ emails and escalate just to get a simple reply.You spend good money for zero service.Worst company I have ever dealt with - honestly!Didn't ask for much just to check the house, service the boiler every year and be kept up to date with any issues. - No chance! Had to go through to ombudsman as they breached their contract with me so many times and don't reply. Too frustrating, do you self a favour and save so much energy - go with someone else!HORRENDOUS!

TrustpilotBlackpool branch appalling
Blackpool branch ... Appalling service for landlords, constantly ripping you off and unable to manage properties! I would not recommend Reeds Rains to anyone. Can’t do routine visits, source quotes and ensure maintenance work is completed. Inform tenants that the delays are due to the landlord, yet the landlord is still waiting to understand the issue and achieve professional quotes.Rip you off for basic contract updates and maintenance quotes have % added, fees far higher than other agents, but they lock you in with high exit fees.

TrustpilotComplete waste of time, application process is unfair!
Wanted to rent a property at the Burnley branch. Was told by a member of staff to get down to the office after viewing and put in my application. Completed all my application on my side and paid a holding deposit, recieved a reciept. However, having not heard from the branch at all for roughly a week.. I had to chase this branch down to see where my process was up to, to be told that the landlord has decided to go with someone they know personally and that 'this happens all the time and that they had to let down 3 other people as well as me.' I know this isn't true because you only take one holding deposit per property as the application goes through for refrencing! I made a complaint through the branch and I feel like they did not even care at all!!!! The manager told me that they simply go with the landlords decision.. so their application process is not really fair at all! Complete waste of my time if the landlords end up picking and choosing their own tenants! Whats the point of the application process?! I understand that as a branch they must comply with the landlords wishes, however they also have a duty of care to potential customers that decide to use their estate agency!! Total waste of time!! Unprofessional and would never use this estate agency again and would not recommend!!

TrustpilotProfessional stress free sale
The sale of my late mother's flat was always going to be a difficult and emotional event but thanks to both family and Reads Rains (Clevedon) it was completed with minimal fuss and pure professionalism. This was after an earlier estate agent declined the sale as the "family were too fussy". I would happily recommend Reeds Rains to anyone wishing to sell a property.

Excellent communication and efficiency to finish in purchasing our new home.Tom at Reed Rains was fantastic. He gave me great advise on process of buying and possible delays to watch out for. He negotiated with 3 bidders and helped us secure the property we wanted.I would highly recommend this team for great service at what was probably the busiest time ever with the end of stamp duty waivers ending.from startKeep up the good workBrianne

TrustpilotReddish Branch
Reddish Branch - Heather And the Team.Really good experience with Reeds Rains. From the moment we discussed the opportunity with Heather, it took about 8 weeks to get the tenants in the property. So far so good ... lots of details around the contract that protect both the landlord and tenant, along with rental protection.Great experience so far, with Heather easing any worries or anxieties. Wouldn’t hesitate putting our next property through Reeds Rains either.Keep up the good work.Jason

TrustpilotExtremely ignorant and arrogant never…
Extremely ignorant and arrogant never do ANY repairs to your property even though I was electrocuted and knocked unconscious bare in my I have a heart condition and specifically informed them and requested for the electricity meter which is a faulty second meter put in by the landlord to be fixed some of my jewellery went missing when my flat was inspected without me being present but obviously I can not prove this saying that I think people have the right to know the full truth my rents always paid in front and my flats kept immaculate but they never return calls no ones ever available when you do call always busy or off today it took six days for an email response they won’t send me my previous references supplied to them they lied to my housing officer so I can’t move out the place is full of damp with mushrooms growing on my bathroom walls I am now taking them to court due to being evicted with NO warning due to the hairdressers downstairs not only blasting music threw my floors all day every day at ridiculous unreasonable volumes (I’ve actually provided the council with sound recordings) and it’s not even just in the shops opening times but even on a Sunday and from approximately 7am-11pm the hairdressers response was I’m a business and I can play my music as loud as I want from 7-11 THANKS FOR BEING SO SELF GRATIFYING!!! there regularly filling my bins with brick plaster gloves food wastage and dirty nappies chucking cigarette butts outside my front door for me to clean up they’ve been knocking on my door regularly making false accusations to which after 17 months of getting NO HELP WHAT SO EVER FROM REEDS RAINS I finally confronted the woman from there whom then tried to have me arrested for malicious acts against a business knowing full well my problem was actually HER!!! The police then went back to warn these people to keep the volume lowered as I obviously had proof and advised me if it continues I’m to ring him and he will attend reduce the volume and put a formal complaint in to the council on my behalf to which they then went behind my back and clearly lied to my landlady who actually owns that property too even though reeds rains deny any acknowledgement of this and refused to contact her on my behalf also the previous tenants son actually visited my property after his elderly mother was evicted for the same reasons ive been served notice he informed me of the problems I would endure with this company if I complained well I guess he wasn’t lying out of bitterness after all my recommendation is to AVOID THIS MONEY GRABBING ESTATE AGENTS AT ALL COSTS!!!! They certainly do not care about there tenants and no more use than an ice cream in a hundred degree oven 🙈🙈🙈

TrustpilotWe had a great experience with Reeds Rains when selling our property.
We had a great experience when Reeds Rains sold our house. Louise and Nicola Jane from the Eccleshall branch were very friendly, polite and helpful at all times. They were very knowledgeable and helped us to sell our house very quickly and secure a deal on a property we were buying. I would definitely reccomend Reeds Rains.

TrustpilotAbsolute shambles of a company
Absolute shambles of a company, don’t stick to their contractual obligations, forget to do things, don’t reply to emails. Overall very poor service. I’ve never written a Trustpilot review before but in this case I feel compelled to. Over £800 tenant deposit still outstanding with lame excuses from reeds rains that it’s effectively “not their problem”. Landlords do not use this company.

TrustpilotRubbish
Obviously, I don't work for Reeds Rains so they won't be getting 5*. I found them AWFUL! The telephone staff are patronising little girls who delight in femsplaining what life is all about from behind their rented desks in rented offices to people who have run multimillion pound businesses since before they were born. Apart from the sale of personal data from which they profit by the sale (read the small print), they are very keen to get hold of your money and details before you recieve a product. I would advise against working with this company primarily because employs teenagers with one gcse between them to haggle for commission. Deal with a proper estate agent and grown ups.
