Since the manager David Gardener left the business, I have had nothing but problems whilst trying to sell my mothers property. Would not recommend Grimsby branch at all.

TrustpilotExcellent Service with one Criticism
Still at the early stages of the process but I cannot fault the attention and courtesy shown by all staff that I have seen and spoken to. If there is any criticism I can make it would be the fixed price fee of the agent. If I could explain further, I wanted to handle all viewings but there was no reduction of the fee offered knowing that the cost to them for handling the viewing would incur agent’s time and fuel which would be a saving to them.

TrustpilotNot quite a good experience
We rented through this agency, and even though some of the employees are nice, there are some that are very bad-mannered also.The keys were kept even though the landlord gave the okay 5 hours ahead. The keys were not handed at the property but at the agency.The landlord requested for the agency to submit meeters and a contract, but neither was handed in.In the end, the landlord cut the collaboration for the property off too.

TrustpilotCancelled utilities
Our landlord decided to change from Reeds Rains to a local agent. Reeds managed to mistakenly inform the utility companies that we had moved out so they tried to cancel our accounts. We were nearly left with no electricity or water. Utterly unapologetic when asked about it. They have been useless in the 10 years we’ve been renting through them, thank goodness our landlord is great.

TrustpilotAvoid this bunch at all costs
Avoid this bunch at all costs. They will cheat you out of your hard earned money. They miserably fail to live up to any responsibility even when provided with evidence that proves without doubt their incompetence. Lacking a moral and ethical compass. A very rotten apple. I only apologise for misleading you with 1 star but that was the "entry fee" for posting an honest review.

I rented a property for 3 years with Reeds Rains. Amber was the member of staff that I dealt with from the beginning. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. So polite, friendly and helped us with any issue that arose. I would happily rent using this agency again thanks to Amber.

They are liars and time wasters I put my offer in asked if the property was freehold they assured me it was and it was leasehold and lead me along for 3 month dont believe them they wasted my money and time so make things easy look find trustworthy estate agents the branch I delt with was birmingham yadley branch crap service and misleading agents
Agent replied · 19 June 2024
Hello, I'm sorry that you feel the service you received was not up to our usual high standard as we do pride ourselves on good customer service. With regards to the detail on the property being bought, the property is Freehold as stated at the beginning of the sale, however part way through the sale the solicitors found that there was also a leasehold title running concurrently on the property (dual title), which even the owner was unaware of. At your solicitors request the owners agreed to get the two titles merged but unfortunately the delays in being able to get this done obviously did not tie in with the time frames you required. I am sorry that you were unable to hang on until the merging of the titles was complete and that you feel dissatisfied with the service you received.Kind regards,Reeds Rains Yardley

TrustpilotReed Rains letting service-extremely poor !
I used Reed Rains fully managed service and gave them 12 months service charge. Unfortunately, I have not got resonable service in return. My tenants always complain about the bad service from Reed Rains and they also complain to me. I tried to talked to Reed Rains for many times (by email and by phone call) but it is in vain. No one cares ! I sent many many email to maintanence department to ask for help. I asked them to follow but what the response is .......

TrustpilotRogue landlord, rogue agents to…
If I could give less than 1 star to this agent, I would. My issue began with a gas check being carried out for the landlords insurance, fair enough I missed the first appointment to which the landlord was not pleased about. I then tried to arrange a second visit to which the agent did not give me a time frame to come to the property. I simply sent an email stating that the landlord and contractor would have to enter the property with keys as no time frame had been given and I needed to work, the agent replied stating that was ok and gave a time frame. A few months passed when all of the electric had gone off in the property, I had reported this issue through fixflo, having 3 children ages 7,5 and 5 we had to get this fixed as a priority. It turned out that the issue was simply a built in appliance tripping the electric. The agent messaged after this was diagnosed and simply said that the landlord had instructed the agent that all maintenance issues would be payable by the tenant (me) as I had refused access to the property during the visit for the gas check which as from the above was not the case, and have the emails to evidence this. Fortunately, the electric is back on with the appliance unplugged, so at least we can turn the lights on and use most of the appliances. I find it absolutely vile that the agent nor the landlord has even asked if the electric is working with there being children in the house, and refusing to facilitate maintenance which is part of the landlords duty being a landlord all because the agent seemed to not communicate that he could enter the property with keys if he wished to do so, nor did he even try enter the property in which he could just have given 24 hours notice to enter at any time. This is only part of the maintenance problems in which have been ignored;- Damp- half finished maintenance such as just plastering the wall and not painting it- what seems to be a leaking roof in the back bedroom as I have videos of a soaking wall and wet patches during heavy rain - skirting boards which have fell off and not attached, leaving exposed nails for my children to gracefully leap over- exposed carpet strip, leaving again another obstacle for the children to jump over- the agent leaving out the fact that the neighbours are not at all ‘fine’ in fact we have to keep all of the windows closed due to the misuse of drugs by the youths in the garden.- not to mention the air rifle that was left in the shed for me to dispose of, the agent clearly doing a good pre move in inspection.Problem 1 - landlord who does not care and bought the house as a piggy bank, a rogue landlord either in the making or very established. Problem 2 - agents who do not communicate with the landlord by the looks of it and also do not care Problem 3 - agents who lack education on what is classed as the landlord’s responsibilities. Problem 4 - maintenance issues not getting fixed and just ignored as the landlord thinks Im not allowing access when the email clearly stated from the beginning that he would have to enter with keys.

TrustpilotPoor service
Sold our house between June and October 2022.Chose Reeds Rains Chester le Street because the manager assured us we would get excellent service and communication from him and his staff. The reality was we paid a huge sum of money to them, over 6K, for very little service or care. We did all our own viewings when we had asked for agent support. Some viewers turned up who had booked in but we hadn't been told. We got feedback from only a couple of viewings at the start and then they didn't bother after that. The buyer called round to ask if he could communicate directly with us as he felt he wasn't responded to; was told they would call him back but rarely did. We received no phone call after exchange of contracts and in actual fact never heard from them again after this point in the process. It felt they had secured their large sum of money from us and didn't care about us after that.
