The team were very friendly and efficient Simon Wilson was brilliant from start to finish he made everything so easy for me and kept me informed throughout the sale as this was a family home of 57years and he was very respectful of this and he was so mannerly and friendly I will definitely use Reeds Rains again.

Poor, I wish I had not used them as a management for my 2 properties, my advice - do not do the same.

Poor, Poor, Poor. Rhyl branch is dismal. Following a previous bad review, I was called by the Rhyl branch and the main issue of the problem at the time (the centralised management) was removed and work was taken into the branch. This worked well and I would give the service at that point 5 stars. Queries were answered, requests were actioned and local trustworthy business were arranged to do work at my houses when required (the centralised system used a contracting firm which charged high fees, did poor work and on one occasion claimed to do work which the tenant confirmed that they hadn't actually done. When pointed out, they withdrew their claim for payment without argument). I was very happy, my properties were being managed well. Unfortunately the person providing that service at the branch left and things deteriorated. Poor management from the branch has cost me money. All the bad things you hear about estate agents are currently encompassed within this branch. Lies, not doing what you've asked them to do which leave you feeling that they do not care about you as a customer as long as they get paid. Rent smart Wales have introduced lots of new rules and regulations that as a landlord you might think "This is too much hassle, I'll get an agent involved" if you do, my advice is do not choose Reeds Rains Rhyl, you will end up regretting it as I have with both the properties I had with them. It's going to cost me money to get away from them, but it is worth it. They are dreadful.

Criminal organisation

Criminal organisation. Also operate at "Your Move". As a landlord I received fraudulent invoices, months of failure to respond to calls and emails. They turns out they lost the keys and the tenancy agreement. End of contract 29th Sept. Still they haven't shared any paperwork and are still withholding funds in November. Lots of promises from David Tomlinson, not one fulfilled. Avoid.Update: now December, despite the response on here, no reach out or resolution.

Avoid using this company

Avoid using this company, especially the Sale branch. On the first day, they rented us a property in poor condition and it had not been properly cleaned. Now that we have moved out, they are withholding our full deposit, claiming there were ongoing issues, despite us reporting problems from day one and providing photos as evidence.

Sales team were outstanding, very helpful and ensured that the sale went smoothly, answered and helped with any concerns we had as we had not sold anything for over 30 years and it was my late fathers (David’s) property. Thank you again for all your help and support - Pauline.

I like R&R as the sale process was smooth and went well. Most importantly, they are incredibly good to mange everything from first visit of the property to sell it off!

Inhabitable

As soon as you’ve paid your deposit and started paying rent, you won’t get much communication from them. It is basically Impossible to get any maintenance work done - we were left with leaks, mould, lights not working, carpet ripping up, drafts and more. It takes almost a year to get someone to come and look at the problems, then nothing is done despite chasing every day. You ring and email daily but get no response.Glad to be out of there. We were once without a working boiler for over 2 weeks in December. It took me threatening legal action for them to follow some sort of protocol. Even then we were passed around different people who didn’t seem to know how to handle the problem. It gets to the point where it is just unsafe. And after all that, the landlord took the whole deposit to buy a new front door which was not like for like. The property had a lot of potential but it’s not well managed at all.

If I could review this estate agents lower I would. I initially signed for a property in 2021 with a partner - they messed us around for weeks at a time and made the moving in process as stressful as possible which lead to them finally releasing the keys after office hours despite having a moving van waiting all day. Immediately after moving in we had to make a formal complaint due to having to wait over 8 weeks for acknowledgement on maintenance issues. Not something you want straight after moving into a property? Not to mention later going 3 days without heating or hot water in the height of winter.They shut us up by offering to pay compensation of £150 for the inconvenience.However, later in the tenancy the other tenant moved out leaving me, a single young woman, living alone. The landlord, an older gentleman, turned up to the property without notice several times. On one occasion, I granted access to the property for him to review some damp problems, whereby he made multiple inappropriate comments about how my tattoos would look better without my clothes on, and that I was safe going upstairs alone with him. A few days after this, he knocked on the door at circa 7pm at night asking me to go for drinks with him.Being a woman living alone, knowing that this man is aware of this and is in a position of power, I didn't speak out until the end of the tenancy.This landlord then decided to claim over £700 of damages from myself. Luckily, we used the Zero Deposit Guarantee scheme and so they disputed this on my behalf and over £500 of this claim was rejected. Leaving me to pay just under £185 which was settled at the end of 2023.However, over a year after the end of the tenancy, Reeds Rains has just contacted me stating that I owe them £22. A reminder this was paid in 2023, the year that the tenancy ended.I would never ever recommend anybody to use this estate agents, it's a law suit waiting to happen and they clearly don't care about the safety of their tenants from landlords taking advantage of their position nor do they communicate with each other at all and prefer to harass previous tenants.

Worst estate agent in Liverpool!!

Worst estate agent in Liverpool!!! Avoid Reeds Rains Liverpool at all cost.Unethical , poor communication, unprofessional, very stressful. Avoid avoid, avoid.I flew in from Geneva after fixing two viewings, 301, 3 Kenyon Steps, L1 and The Strand, Liverpool L2.We waited in front of the property for more than an hour on 2nd Aug for 12pm viewing. One Abdul qadir was supposed to come to show us the property.Mr Justin Barton had confirmed the viewing on mail so we booked our air tickets.He did not show up, and after frequent calling Reed Rains we were told that he visited the concierge and returned. Holy hell..!!! Such fraudulent people. There was no confirmation or communication from either Reed Rains nor Abdul Qadir.Our precious time, money, hotel bookings ,all went for a toss.Thankyou Reed Rains for your callous behaviour. The properties listed never existed I suppose. So ultimately its your loss, not mine.

Carol is rude

Carol at the Ashton under lyne branch is lazy and rude. Couldn't really be bothered when viewing a house and was looking at me like I'm poor when I actually purchased outright with no mortgage. When I called the branch to put an offer on a house she took my offer then never called me back. I chased and she rudely laughed at me down the phone saying I wasn't in a position to purchase said house (how would she know this?) so I withdrew and bought another with home estate agents.

Reeds Rains Rhyl

The team in Rhyl were amazing. As first time buyers we didn’t have a clue on the processes and Derry explained everything and kept us up to date during the purchasing process. Matt was brilliant with his mortgage advice and made the mortgage process so much easier than we imagined. Would highly recommend to anyone buying or selling.

Look no more, Nicola, Craig and Dea are your people…

Sold our flat with Reeds Rains Estate Agents Plaistow. We had exceptional service from start to finish, thanks to Nicola, Craig and Dea. Their professional photos were taken immediately after we signed up with them, all of the viewings were handled professional.Nicola from Reeds Rains Estate Agent Plaistow has been excellent. She was professional throughout. She listened and acted to suggestions as well as providing advice and support. The real unique difference to other agents is she was always available working well beyond office hours as she really puts her heart and soul into her business. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell their home.

Rent due, Is it that difficult?

Rent due, log into online portal. Says monthly. Bank transfer 12 months worth to them. Week later call from landlord, have you paid? Yes. Few minutes later, call from RR, do you want to set up another 12 months? Well first, it's gone to an automatic rolling contract, and secondly if you want to setup another 12 months then maybe it's a good idea to do it IN ADVANCE, thirdly because it's a monthly payment and you haven't sent any communication I ALREADY sent payment to you on the due date same as previous year. After last year where I had to chase myself for the rent, this year I decided to just let things sort themselves out this time round. This does however leave the question, what do reeds rains actually do for landlords/tenants? The landlord actually asked me to confirm with them that reeds rains have found the 7 grand I sent because RR probably won't do this. I'm not angry, these things happen more disappointed that this company seems to struggle with simple things. I did suggest that my landlord use another company as it's obvious that this one has issues.

I strongly advise against using this property management company. My experience with them has been nothing short of dreadful. I was constantly having to chase them for updates on the tenant eviction process. As of June 20th, I was told the matter was "under investigation." However, it wasn't until July 1st that I was finally informed the tenant had vacated the property, with rent paid through May 31st. In retrospect, this means my property sat vacant for an entire month with no notification from the agent. This is an absolute disaster and a complete dereliction of their duties as the property manager.The level of incompetence, lack of communication, and failure to keep me informed in a timely manner is unacceptable. This agent has provided the worst service I have ever encountered. I would caution any landlord against entrusting this company with the management of their rental property.

Dealt with William Clayton upon vacating a property that had huge amounts of black mould all throughout. He argued back and forth when we tried to get our deposit back even though we left the property in perfect condition. We took videos before and after we left the property. Will never rent or buy a property with Prescot Reeds Rains again.

Wonderful! Really very helpful

You were really very helpful, listened & understood. Some agents just wanted to give a valuation without viewing our home and seriously undervalued what it was worth.The viewings were on time, you obviously know what you are doing as it sold in a week, quicker than we expected.All in all a very pleasant experience.Thanks, will recommend your professionalism to others.

Bamber bridge office lettings department

This was once a long and detailed review of my personal experience of renting through this branch over the past few years.The lettings manager from the branch contacted me by phone today (02/02/24) and after spending a little time reflecting on the first half of our conversation, ive decided to remove the contents of my original review, albeit not for the reasons said letting manager suggested during the call.My original rating, unfortunately remains the same.As part this amended review, I will say that I dont think Reeds Rains process of having a member of staff that the review relates to, call you, out of the blue, is the best approach to resolve issues raised on here. In my line of work, which granted, is very very different to this line of work, we ensure such issues are never dealt with by someone directly involved in the matter, and instead by one of our complaints team, who is usually from a different office. Im sure most would agree that this is a sensible approach in any business as it ensures fairness and impartiality and maybe a process Reeds Rains could consider adopting in the future? I don't feel as though I can go into detail about what was discussed today or the way they conducted the first half of the call, but, whilst we did manage to end the call on civil terms, I was left feeling somewhat bothered/upset by the way I was spoken to and also with some of the things that were said to me. So, in keeping with trustpilots' steer on providing constructive feedback, I believe some further training on how to conduct conversations with people and just some general customer service upskilling could be beneficial to that member of staff.I can say that we are now at a point where, hopefully, the ongoing issues we are having will be resolved soon.As I'm sure anyone reading this is aware, this is a review site, and my review rating is a reflection of my personal experience. I'm sure others have had different experiences, and this site is here to provide you with both the good and the bad. However, that being said, personally, I don't recommend this branch, based on the experiences I've personally had, which unfortunately, I no longer feel comfortable detailing on here.Just updating this as has come to light today that Reeds Rains have zero knowledge/recollection of the branch lettings manager, Lauren Sankey, phoning me from 01772336183 at 16:36 on 02/02/2024, where she spent the majority of the 16 minute 39 second phone call berating me, being unbelievably rude to me and also accusing me of slander. Hopefully that helps jog your memory.Now I've spoken directly to my landlord I feel a lot more comfortable in saying that this branch's lettings department is awful, they are genuinely the worst I have ever dealt with in all the years I've rented properties, which is sad, as up until a year or so ago, they were brilliant.
