TrustpilotMy experience as a guarantor
My experience as a guarantor for a tenant who has rented a property from this company worsens by the day. In addition to the issues I raised in an earlier review, which hasn't even been acknowledged, I have learned the flat wasn't inspected before it was let and now there is a plethora of serious problems. The Branch Manager refuses to discuss the situation with me so I have been forced to pursue a formal complaint. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Put my house on the market before with other estate agents with no luck. Reeds rain put my house on the market and virtually had a buyer straight away so I can finally move on to a smaller house which is all I need. Thanks for the great service Reeds Rain.
We're so happy to hear that you had a positive experience selling your home with us. We understand how stressful selling a home can be, and we're thrilled that we were able to help you find a buyer quickly and move on to your next chapter. Thank you for choosing us and for your kind words.

Laura provided an excellent service. From the first contact she gave me many options, and once I chose my apartment she supported me throughout the entire process. She was always helpful and professional. I highly recommend her!

Trustpilot5 stars!
My partner recently sold his property through Reeds Rains Hull, from start to finish they were professional, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us! They chased the entire chain and went above and beyond to make sure the sale went as smoothly as possible. Every time we called they were knowledgeable and gave us the best advice they could. Steven and the team are a great asset to Reeds Rains.

TrustpilotAwful service
Awful service. Moved around and been renting for the past 7 years and I have never had an experience like this. I've never had an application process thats taken more than a couple of weeks max. With Reeds Rains, it has been 4 weeks and still not sorted. References were an issue due to them using the incompetent service that is Experian. Everytime you contact the office, you get fobbed off and you can never get through to the person dealing with your application unless they happen to answer the phone by chance. Looking to BUY a property soon and I will not be interested in any property advertised by Reeds Rains! First and last!

TrustpilotPoor service - Halifax
Just thought I would highlight to potential sellers the service sellers are receiving. I contacted the Halifax Branch through rightmove last weekend to view a property they had for sale. I am a cash buyer and they have still not made contact. I would. E very disappointed on this service if they had been selling my property
Hi Anita,Thank you for the comments, the property you had requested to view was extremely popular. In fact we received 50+ requests to view it which logistically can become very difficult to organise. We had attempted to contact all of the viewing requests and are sorry that this took longer than usual. Our records show that we did speak to you after this review had been left which I appreciate was frustrating for yourself as you were waiting to view. I would like to wish you the best of luck in your search for a property. Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotWonderful service and support at the worst time of my life
I am in the process of securing a tenancy through the Rotherham branch. I cannot fault the experience so far... Reeds Rains has made everything so easy at the most difficult time of my life - moving out of my late mother’s house as it must be sold - so I couldn’t appreciate them more in this period of intense grief and turmoil. Communication is excellent and service is friendly. I am also incredibly impressed with the tenant portal, which makes it so simple to set up services and utilities. All in all, I would like to commend Reeds Rains, and especially Sarah, my main point of contact, for taking so much of the stress out of this massively difficult life-changing time that I’m going through.

GoogleWe have recently sold our house with Reeds Rains. They will be highly recommended by us to others. They made us feel at ease, they were professional and very proactive. We experienced 2 other estate agents within Evesham that were absolutely appalling. Our house was valued, put on the market and sold within a week. The viewings were prearranged around us as a busy family!! We were always made to feel the most important person in the process. Our solicitor has also praised the team for their honesty and professionalism. Thank you very much Jeremy and team!!!

GoogleReeds Rains Estate agents provided a most excellent service - they appreciated our reasons for our earlier cancellation. When we were subsequently able to purchase, following the sale of our home, they immediately 'pulled out all the stops' to show us what property was on the market in Evesham and arranged that we could purchase the property which we sadly had to withdraw from previously - nothing was too much effort for the staff - top marks for friendly and helpful service - they really worked hard to assist - can recommend them to any prospective purchasers of property in South Worcestershire - just go and speak to Jeremy and his team

TrustpilotTaken the wrong amount and won't give me my money back.
My rent price per month has gone up by an extra £50, however, Reeds Rains has actually taken an extra £75.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear about the incorrect direct debit and the difficulties you've faced in resolving this. We have sent a further information request, could you let us know the branch you have been dealing with in one of the fields or updating your review with the branch location. This way we can contact the branch and look into this for you. Thank you again, Regards, Reeds Rains

TrustpilotAvoid Reeds Rains if possible - exploitative, disorganised and stressful
We are renting a house managed by Reeds Rains. Our landlord is wonderful, but our experience with Reeds Rains' poor management has caused serious issues and made us feel insecure in our tenancy, leading to unnecessary stress. In the last six months, we have:1) been forced to live without hot water/heating (in February) for two weeks as the Reeds Rains' maintenance department did not pass on information about the issue to our landlord. We made a formal complaint to Reeds Rains who reluctantly (after weeks of calls and emails) agreed to compensate us. They did not take responsibility, despite their agent acknowledging that he had neglected to pass the information on for over a week. 2) Despite going on to a rolling monthly contact (SPT), Reeds Rains are now attempting to force us to sign up to a 12 month tenancy, at the cost of £120. We did not have to do this last year and they are not answering our questions appropriately, and their poor communication has given us the impression that we have no choice but to sign up to the tenancy. Their emails have implied that we sign a 12 month tenancy renewal or our notice will be served. We are not in the position to sign up for a 12 month tenancy as, after two years in the property, our circumstances are changing. There has been no acknowledgement of this or any sense of understanding by their renewals team.3) We are often called for marketing purposes by Reeds Rains local branch who seemingly call to thank us for looking after the property so well and then attempt to sell us products which we do not need, and they will ask questions like 'do you know what you'd do if you couldn't pay the rent?' 4) Our experience when when signing up to the initial contract was comical as their representative was unable to deal with paperwork, frequently lost documents and wasted hours of our time in the branch office during our working days all for a sign up process which should be simple.5) Their fees are extortionate and we will have to pay £120 to leave the contract. Overall, our experience has been fraught with difficulties. The company have little understanding of the situation renters are in, and they attempt exploit our position for their financial gain. We would not recommend any landlords to use Reeds Rains to manage their property, and we could advise renters to use a different lettings agent.

TrustpilotAVOID AT ALL COSTS
Absolutely disgusting treatment from the agents and landlord. I don’t think the box is quite big enough to fit all of the problems we have encountered in the last year. The lack of communication is atrocious, and the inexperienced staff is embarrassing. Don’t think they know that my partner worked for an estate agents and knows all the legalities of certain procedures which they clearly don’t know. Avoid at all cost.
Hi there,Sorry to read your review. We will send a request for more information that will come directly from Trustpilot so that we can look into this further.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotShafted and lost money
I went with Reeds Rains because they were selling the house we wanted to buy and therefore it would be in their interest to sell ours.They found a cash buyer living in rented accomodation; a couple on their second marriage who both owned houses and were selling them. Hers had been sold and they were buying ours with the proceeds. His was being sold and the proceeds were to be used to do a loft extension to add a 4th bedroom to our house that they needed. On the basis of them being cash buyers and could complete quickly, we agreed a sale price £20K less than our asking price.6 weeks down the line things weren't progressing and I started chasing Reeds Rains only to be told there was a problem at the bottom of the chain. WHAT? There is no chain, they are cash buyers. Oh, soon after you agreed the sale they decided to incorporate his house sale into your house purchase.So our cash buyers had turned into a chain of 3 and Reeds Rains hadn't even decided to tell me. If I had known, I would have re-negotiated the price.Reeds Rains insisted that they had told me as soon as the deal had changed and it was on their file. They are LIARS (as I suspect all Estate Agents are), and had not sent me anything in writing to ensure I was aware of the change in circumstance.We didn't actually manage to move until 3 months after Notification of Sale. So much for a quick sale which cost me £20K.I would advise anyone buying and or selling to get EVERYTHING in writing and not just rely on telephone conversations.

TrustpilotHorrendous Customer Service
Horrendous customer service from start to finish, i will never deal with Reeds Rains again due to complete lack of professionalism and arrogance received from the Rothwell branch. I would advise anybody looking for a property to use another branch on the high street. You pay extortionate fees for a service that is absolutely disgraceful, they are quick to take your money but its painful to get back what is yours. When asking questions regarding the property and fees, they give you an indirect answer and beat around the bush, not to mention fees that are not clearly stated. Completely dishonest, incompetent and rude. If I could give 0 stars they would certainly be getting this. The worst person from the Rothwell branch for customer service was Joanne Woodhouse, who in my eyes is completely unemployable, due to her attitude and inability to be professional, she should not be working in a business that is anything to do with customer relations, but it wasn't just one person, this seemed to be the case from managerial level down. Jorden Harrigan was another employee ("Property manager") whose customer service was appalling, he seemed to get a kick out of making things as difficult as possible and thrived off sending arrogant emails, seemingly with the intent to wind you up. I cannot reiterate enough to stay away from Reeds Rains!

TrustpilotPEMBERTON BRANCH
PEMBERTON BRANCHI have only been to 1 viewing but I can say that Alan was a dedicated professional. He quickly put our minds at rest when he contacted the office for further advice He was very knowledgeable on the area and on local housing stock (We didn't know the area very well) The head of Letting Bryony was also equally as quick to respond to my questions, both by phone and email. If our viewing is not successful we will obviously ask them to keep us in mind for any potential rentals that ticks our boxes. John & Mary

TrustpilotProlonged, unprofessional, nightmarish!
Currently in an awful situation with Reeds Rains. No inventory provided at beginning of lease, were lied to about the property having been professionally cleaned. They refuse to do any upkeep work, despite fully managing on behalf of the landlord. They claim "landlord must consent" prior to confirming any repair. It is a scam. Landlord is probably paying them to enjoy his/her own life, and they're squeezing us out of money with extortionate fees. We moved into the place and trash had been left in the front and back yard, food remnants in kitchen cupboards...stay away while you can! UNPROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONAL LIARS.

TrustpilotAt first I thought yeah very good
At first I thought yeah very good, Alison was amazing in helping get sorted. But throughout things I told them about maintenance that needed doing didn't get done or even acknowledged apart from 1 thing so had a freezing cold flat most of the time! I've now moved out early although still under contract and the communication is horrendous especially the snotty 'Andy' through email. All I asked for is dates of when the tenant was moving in and about the inventory being done but again no real answer until today when he all of a sudden gave me an exact date surprise surprise! And emailed the moving out/ maintenance team who are useless and told me nothing apart from that there was 'outstanding work' even though I've emailed issues I've had with them and issues that arose because they didn't maintain the property correctly. Still no reply from them too. Stay clear of reeds rains

TrustpilotUseless, £1700
update..still not removed it well there time and money they are wasting.update.i supplied the info they wanted, no answer, a month ago I rang them and asked if my property was removed from there records, they said yes they were, so I was surprised to go on a property sales site and my property was still there, so don't believe a word they say, BLACKPOOL2nd update told them I don't want there services yet I see my property is still up for sale, wonder why,Update...it was the Blackpool branch.I would give them -5 if I could, useless, I contacted them to sell my property for twice as much as other companies of £1700, and on putting my property online they got the address directions wrong, four times I contacted them to change it with no luck, I rang the online property service my self they told me it was up to the sales people to change it which was contradicting what I was told by reeds rains, I said if I am paying so much to sell the property I should be able to say what does and doesn't go in the description of what people would see, I got no answer and didn't like the attitude of there so called help on the phone where you leave a message with no call back so I told them in an e mail I don't want there services anymore an cease advertising my property, then three working days later I get a message from Diane at reeds rains somewhere to ring her to talk about what I want going forward with the property, she asked me to ring back on a phone number with only the dial code and three numbers, which obviously does not exist,
Hi there. I'm really sorry this has been your experience. I've sent you a request for more information to find out which branch you have been dealing with so I can look into this further. Kind regards
