We were very happy with the online marketing, photos and brochure. Laura in the office was brilliant. Unfortunately, communication from other members of the team could have been a bit better at times. Overall, we were happy with the sale outcome.

Reeds Rains - horrible experience and they will cheat you!

I dealt with Macclesfield branch as a landlord. They will be very nice to you and get you sign a contract with vague contract. They will make sure they don’t tell you important information. In my case I wanted to end fully managed contract as a landlord after tenancy agreement was ended and they asked me to pay full months rent as an exit fee. They have this clause in contract that you do have to pay exit fee but the whole contract is written as if it all applies for tenure of tenancy agreement, and that’s where they will cheat you!!! I had to pay money to come out of contract since property ombudsman is useless and takes month to reply. My advice is to make sure you ask them to write down very clearly about any exit clause but rather not use them because they cheat you through their terms

Great team, personal yet professional

The team at the Stockton branch are just fantastic. Handled my sale professionally and efficiently, always keeping me up to date with the process. Andrea in particular was always helpful and friendly when giving me updates and happy to gently push the other side when necessary. Highly recommended.

Great Service

Reeds Rains have been amazing so far. I have dealt with Mark and Nicole so far both who are very friendly. The process has been super quick, my house went up for sale on their website on the Friday and an offer accepted on the Saturday. Just waiting for the legal side of things to happen now so fingers crossed for no issues!

Slow, misrepresentative and poor attitude

I’m in the process of trying to rent a flat through this company and the level of service hasn’t been great. The listing for a studio shows a 1-bed and gives a studio rent; the virtual tour is the same. I’ve asked repeatedly for an application form and they’re dragging their heels with providing this to me. I love the property and I want to move there as soon as I can but the way the company has acted so far is seriously making me want to look elsewhere. The attitudes of the letting negotiators and agents are also really poor considering I’m eligible, eager and highly interested.

Maria at Reeds Rains Rothwell

Maria has been brilliant in dealing with the sale of our property. In fact, she was the one who found us another purchaser when the first buyers pulled out. She has kept us regularly informed, chased everyone up repeatedly and has been helpful and cheery throughout. She obviously loves her job and it shows in the service she provides, so a huge THANK YOU Maria, and if you’re ever in Scarbados …

Premium price but not premium service - Holderness Road, Hull branch

This estate agent's fees are nearly double that of other estate agents in Hull to sell a property and the service they provide is appalling. They wanted to charge me an additional £200 for photos of my property 3 weeks before Christmas. I refused and took photos of the property myself. After the sale was agreed I waited a month for an update on how the sale was progressing and in the end had to ask for it. In that time the Sales Associate dealing with my property had left the business and my buyer had gone on holiday without putting a mortgage in place. Reeds Rains never proactively informed me of either of these things. When I complained about their bad service the Sales Associate was rude told me 'it wasn't her job to give me updates on the sale' and that it was my solicitor's responsibility. The Branch Manager simply said 'he took everything on board' but never actively did anything to manage the situation. They also made several error on official documentation and never provided me with written details of all viewings and offers.They made the process difficult and stressful so I ended up contact my buyer directly so that I could complete the sale as Reeds Rains offered me no assistance. Reeds Rains are one of the most expensive estate agents in Hull and from the service I received the only way they helped was to post my property on the property marketplace websites - something most estate agents do to sell a property. If you are considering selling your property in the future please help yourself and use a local estate agents, not this national company. Their fees will be less and you will probably get a better service.

I found Reeds Raine exceptional regarding their service and commitment regarding the sale of my property. They were friendly but remained professional. It was a difficult time selling as I had recently lost my husband and found the experience overwhelming, but they helped me step by step through this difficult period, I can’t thank them enough. I would recommend them highly. Thank you very much.

Fantastic service

Alison and Donna at Reeds Rains, Bamber Bridge have been amazing from the start. firstly when I met them at my brother's house without the keys!! Right through to today, completion day. I hadn't sold/bought a property before and Alison has been brilliant talking me through the process and has been in touch the whole way through. Honestly I don't think she could have done any more. Huge recommendation from a property newbie!

Our family moved into a rented property…

Our family moved into a rented property with fully managed maintaince service. We have so many things in this house that need to he repaired. Its A4 page full of problems including leaking roof, front door we can't open properly, cracked windows and it goes on.All we get is contractors coming for a quote and us being told you are better off moving as the house has extensive issues and reedsrains won't pay when the contractors come and asses. We are having to fight through the council disrepair team as noone from reedsrains maintainance team can tell us if anything will be fixed. This has all been going on for 4 months. Meanwile fhe landlord told the disrepair team that all has been fixed, so basically lying. We have two kids and to say it's been stressful is an understatement. I don't understand how they can leave us living like this and expect full rent in return.

Underhanded Cons!!

Was a tenant via Reeds Rains Salford Quays, for a year. I was a perfect tenant, looked after the place and was then served with a no fault eviction notice. This came after a yearly 'thorough property inspection' where agent was in the property for all of 56 seconds, and did not move from inside the front door, which I have on cameraThen had £351 of my deposit deducted, including for day to day wear and tear, and it took a month to get the rest of my deposit back.I have photos of the apartment from when I moved in to when I moved out.I have also contacted BBC Watchdog, to present my case to them.

Andrew · 17 December 2022

Agent replied · 16 June 2024

Hi Andrew, I'm sorry you feel you have needed to write this review. The landlord advised us he needed to move back into the property and therefore instructed us to serve notice - obviously this is out of our control. In terms of the quick routine inspection - these are designed to be quick and efficient - in a one bedroom apartment they don't take too long to carry out. Finally regarding your deposit I can see you agreed to the deductions and were offered the opportunity to dispute the deductions which you decided against. If you wish to discuss the matter further please feel free to contact me on 0161 236 9088 or at greg.davies@reedsrains.co.uk. Kind Regards

Amazing service from the Reeds Rains team in Scarborough

The Reeds Rains team in Scarborough are very friendly, helpful and professional. We would especially like to thanks Alex Kennedy who has helped us throughout the whole process as first time renters, she always answered any questions we had and made the whole process a lot easier! Everything went smoothly and Alex proactively ensured all documents were received. Thank you so much Alex!! We would highly recommend Reeds Rains to others!

Appalling service at an important time.

After asking for a valuation after the death of my mother I was told an online estimation could be done. After a week I heard nothing. On ringing them on the morning of seeing the solicitor, I rung to ask if it was lost. I was told "oh yes, it's in Dave's diary. Would you like him to email it tomorrow!I said that would be too late. The lady simply told me " ok, thank you, bye"Not even close to the kind of service I expected from the company who came top in my Google search. Obviously i will go out of my way to ensure no one I, or my family knows ever uses this estate agent.

What an appalling company

What an appalling company. They informed my energy company that I had left when in fact I wasnt due to move out for another month. This has resulted in weeks of trying to sort out my energy bills that have had me close to tears. They denied doing this which was rubbish as the energy company actually gave me their name. For over 5 weeks I have been trying to get my deposit back despite no issues with the land lord and he confirmed it was OK to release my deposit. They lie routinely on the phone saying the deposit has been released when it hasnt. They also ignore emails. My landlord issued me with a section 21 and gave me 2 months to get out. A lovely lady from the council told RR to not take any legal action as I was activley looking for a new place. They ignored this and advised the landlord to persue legal action. The council lady spoke directly to the landlord and it was agreed to give me an extra month. They dont care about anyone and just pass on to other useless colleagues. AVOID at all costs

From the moment I arranged to view to the day of completion I have had nothing but a fantastic and positive experience with Reeds Rains Bamber Bridge.Alison Whiteside was very friendly, knowledgeable and very professional throughout. All enquiries were answered immediately and she made the whole process effortless. She is a character and chatty which made me feel 'at home' comfortable and in good hands.Thank you Alison you're amazing.
