I have given 1 star but if I could I would give minus a massive number. The worst company ever. I am a Landlord with a managed service but end up having to sort trades out myself as allow trades to charge about 5 times what something should be. The castleford office is abysmal. They say they will do the admin but don’t. They have to check everything with head office as they have no knowledge of their own company’s policies. I could keep going but I would be here for ever ranting!

St. Helens branch

Dealt with by Ellie From the St. Helens branch, Ellie has been great from the second I enquired about the property, she’s answered any questions I’ve needed answering, was very patient and understanding regarding how available I was to talk. She even went the extra mile to try and get myself a better price pcm. Thankyou Ellie.

If you’re a tenant threaten them with…

If you’re a tenant threaten them with legal action!! That’s the only thing that seems to work. I’ve been to the solicitor once already this year for maintenance that I’d been chasing for 10 months, it was done in a week. They were avoiding me so much that it was the only option. Even today, I’ve been waiting months to get my guttering changed because it’s causing my window to flood through, they’ve ignored me, spoken to me like I’m worthless, it’s disgusting!!! YOU SIGNED A TENANTS AGREEMENT!!!!!! Get a grip! I’ve got an appointment with the same solicitor next week, hopefully get their months notice in straight after, and then get a judge to deal with them, then I’m moving the hell out!!

The worst agency I dealt with honestly

The worst agency I dealt with honestly. First, they make the procedure smooth and easy for obtaining a property, and after you pay the holding deposit they make it more difficult for you with many unconvincing requests and for unknown reasons. I hope that the company consider hiring people with higher qualifications in dealing with the customer, keeping promises and sticking to the dates of the expected calls.

Buyers Beware!!

Buyers Beware!!As a new customer looking to buy, the first contact was not very great. Rude attitude and no phone manners let alone customer service skills. Sellers have entrusted you to sell a house, you have charged a fee for this service so deliver that. I have both bought and sold homes before and spoken with many agents in my time but this by far-left a bitter taste in my mouth. I will never understand this so call level of prestige some agents seem to think they have over people. Every enquire should be dealt with the same level of care and respect.I will be sure to never use you to sell my next house if you service the area .

No contact as promised.

An appointment was arranged for an agent to view my home to give me a valuation. The viewing was cancelled due to a circumstance to which I accepted but the agent said he'd ring me the next day to give me a valuation over the phone. A week on and I never received the call. If he couldn't contact me then surely the professional thing to do is to pass the job to someone else. So I shall not be using Reeds Rains in the future.

Do not I repeat do not use this agent

Do not I repeat do not use this agent! Alison Sidney based in Walderslade has totally given false information on a regular basis on renting a property. She was happy to take £288 holding deposit yet still carried on letting other clients view the property. My son gave all information requested including a guarantor and still she mis lead us into believing that my son and his partner would be moving into the house. This agent lies and takes deposits misleading people totally - stay clear and go with a reputation agent - not this bunch of shafters!

Fed up of being ignored

Fed up of being constantly ignored by this company. Have emailed them directly, through their website, through RightMove, called them, left voicemails and left my contact details with an employee where I was promised a call back. So far I've not been contacted (not even a courtesy "we're sorry it's taking so long but we'll get back to you") and have lost hope I'll be able to successfully view the property I want.If this is what they're like to deal with trying to arrange a viewing for a property, I dread to think how inefficient they'd be to complete the purchase.

Before moving with this agency

Before moving with this agency, we lived in 3 other flats. We never had problems with the other landlords, but this people is something out of this world. First of all I would like to clarify that they never played fair with us: in the visit to the house I told to the agent that I really wanted to rent the property, I even said to her to sign in the moment of the visit, but she told me that it was ok, that they were going to keep the property for me and that I could do the paperwork the next day. Next day, when I called her, she told me that the landlord accepted another offer. I think that was just a way to make me say that I was able to pay 6 months in a row. And so, the landlord accepted my offer.We moved to their property in February. When we moved there, the storage heaters were not working. At this point, I want to highlight that we moved with a 40 days baby. When you pay 6100 GBP before moving to a house, you expect a service. For 20 days, in February, with a baby, we lived without heaters. They just kept saying that maybe I didn´t know how to turn it on. I had to write them in a non friendly way to get a handyman in the house fixing it. And he had to fix it, because it was damaged.They came 2 or 3 times to visit the house to check everything was right. As in the contract, if the agent would have realized that something had to be repaired or cleaned, or misplaced, she had to aware us in order to do something about it.Well, in all the visits, she came to the house, checked it in 2 minutes, and said: everything is ok. We even got emails after each visit saying everything was ok.When we moved out, they sent us a email saying that the house needed a deep clean, 7 new bulbs (we stayed there for 10 months), and apart from the deep clean, they wanted to charge us for cleaning the door of the microwave (it just have a water vapour spoil in the door), for cleaning the door of a dishwasher that we never turned on, and they wanted to charge us for some mould and dump. Around 400 GBP for this. They even wanted to charge us to buy new curtains because of the damp , when curtains were made of a material 100% washable.The pictures of the original inventory had nothing to do with the inventory they did at the end of the rental. The first one, was a bit blurry, and the pictures of it were taken from a distance of everything. The pictures of the inventory they did when we moved out... What a crime. They did pictures with zoom of every single centimeter of the house, they moved furniture that weight around 50kg to do pictures of the floor below it. They even did a picture of the inside of a bin that it was not in the original inventory!So, they wanted to deduct 638GBP from our deposit, (we couldn´t get a VAT invoice, and the receipt they sent us was clearly suspicious: in the receipt one of the concepts was "Towel needs to be removed from kitchen floor 1 £4.00" Towel that we left there to protect the wooden floor from the water that could fall from the non-no-frost fridge). But I submitted a case through Mydeposit, and mydeposit has just given 340 GBP to them. If you are living in a Reeds Rains´s property, be aware. Keep this in mind. If you are not living in a Reeds Rains property, avoid them.The reviews with 5 stars are because before you move in their properties, a Barbie girl, ask you for the 5 stars review.

Personal service

Andrew the proprietor was always available to discuss our sale and took responsibility for viewings as time passed. He did his best to negotiate with potential buyers as per our agreed strategy.

Mark & Emma in the Wilmslow office did a phenomenal job. From the start they followed my requirements to the letter. I was selling only so did not want to be in a long line. Within tel days and only the second viewing it was sold. They were brilliant with me, the buyers and the lawyers, the whole things was so easy. Completed in three and a half months.

APPALLING SERVICE!

If I could have given this Company no stars I would have done so.Made an offer on a property several weeks ago and then made several calls to find out what was the outcome as no one came back to me. Initially blamed me for not providing proof of mortgage acceptance despite the fact I had the majority of funds in cash and informed the Agent that if there were to be a problem, a family member would cover the shortfall, so a cash buyer in every sense of the word. Also, I previously worked in a local Estate Agent and it is not normal for people to make offers against properties they can’t afford. Eventually told there were several family members involved and the situation was ‘complicated’. Made a final call into the offices on the 22nd to find out if there was any progress to be told matters were still ongoing.Last week I was sent an email from RR with a link for another property, the link was broken so I went onto their website to search for the property. Whilst scrolling through, how shocked was I to see ‘sale agreed’ against the property on which I made the offer. I received no notification either verbally or written of this at all and I was therefore never given an opportunity to increase my offer. I phoned the offices to advise of this situation and was told I was called on the 22nd when in fact as previously stated, it was I that contacted them! I had Vodafone search my account and they indeed confirmed no call was made by RR.Not only is this extremely poor management, it is also my understanding it is illegal to not be kept informed.I feel very sorry for the vendor as I would have offered full asking price and possibly slightly more had I have been given the opportunity, something sadly, they will never be aware of.

Excellent Estate Agents

Every staff member is professional, knowledgeable and very friendly to deal with. They always phone back when they say they will and I would highly recommend this estate agency to anyone who is thinking of selling a property.

Not accommodating at all for buyer or seller!

Tried booking a viewing on a house for Saturday in Evesham but was told there was nobody available on show us round. We are travelling from almost 2 hours away and we’re very interested in this house. Mortgage in place etc and first time buyer but did not want to accommodate us even to the point of arriving at their office earlier in the morning. No customer service whatsoever. Very disappointed. Would not sell my house with this company as they are not prepared to go the extra mile for the customer and buyer!!

Not the best experience with them

Recently booked a house viewing with them, never received any confirmation of the viewing and they never sent me the full address so I had to call up on the day to get the details and to confirm. Once we arrived the agent didn’t introduce himself at all, and just didn’t seem like he wanted to be there, he sounded very bored. He didn’t know any information about the property and couldn’t answer any questions that we had. He didn’t sell it at all, I’d be fuming if he was selling my home! Wouldn’t want to use them again

The estate agent

The estate agent, Steve was brilliant so down to earth and gave me honest feedback which I can use. I felt comfortable letting him into my house and that I could trust him. I will only use Reeds Rains when I sell or rent as can tell they are professionals that I can trust. He was on time for the appointments and very approachable.

Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this…

Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this must be the best estate agent in Nottinghamshire.Nothing was too much trouble for them.Led by their wonderful manager Matt all of his staff were helpful,friendly,polite and efficient. Due to their efficiency my mum’s property was sold on the first day as they had notified a couple who came to view it at once and snapped it up as realistically priced(£20,000 more than another estate agent who had also priced it).They dealt with everyone of my queries in their usual quick and meticulous manner.The manager Matt led by example and along this journey offered his help every step of the way and reiterated this every time I phoned or called into the office.This estate agent was recommended by a friend of mine and I’m so glad I went with them as they made what could be a very stressful experience into a very pleasant one. I cannot sing their praises highly enough and cannot understand the bad reviews given to them as I am recommending them to all my friends who want to sell their property.

“It’s not our problem”

We live in a rented house and the filter on the oven was very loose when we moved in. When we moved we emailed them and they said that they could sort it out. Since then it has completely fallen off. We have been emailing reeds rains for weeks on end now and only just got a reply, saying that “it’s not their problem anymore”. We phoned them up and they hung up. Thanks reeds rains, you’ve got something really special.
