Awful company with evil staff

Awful company, quite that simple.On moving in to the property with my family they told me all fixtures and fittings worked correctly but this was not true. The main issue was the shower which it took 3 months for them to fix but still expected full rent? JokeHalf way through my tenancy a new agent took over who then began lying to the landlord about me and my family and accusing us of damaging the property. This was all pre existing and was in their own inventory pictures from before I moved in. LiarsThis agent was determined to get my family including 2 young children thrown out of this house for absolutely no reason, it was an entirely deceptive, dishonest and the most evil thing I have ever seen from an agent and they are a disgrace to the company.I raised a complaint about this but obviously nothing was done and the "agent" I have been stuck dealing with will no doubt be delighted that she ruined someone's life and split up a family for her own entertainment.I hope she has to suffer the way she made us suffer.Edit: I requested to speak to the landlord directly about this problem but they refused to provide any contact details for the landlord which they are not permitted to do.

Been a landlord here for 5 years great quality service provided! Excellent.Also Ive just sold the same property with the company. Initially Todd used his excellent local knowledge and experience and gave me a realistic valuation and marketing advice. After they had found a buyer Averil was brilliant, she keep the chain intact. She chased solicitors and kept in constant communication with all parties throughout. A top quality estate agent!

Bad experience renting via this company. Held onto my deposit for a very long time and took a considerable amount of money from it despite the property being left in a much better condition than the start. Favoured the landlord at all points in the tenancy.

Unprofessional and incompetent estate agent

We wanted to sell our house and chose a national company of estate agents with many branches all over the country because we thought they would do a good job so we instructed the Poulton-le-Fylde branch of Reeds Rains to put our house on the market. When I first rang the branch I was happy with their telephone manner and so thought they would be trustworthy. But we were wrong and almost straightaway, things started to unravel. The marketing description of our house contained a lot of spelling mistakes, some grammatical errors and some albeit minor inaccuracies and we had to correct all those before we were happy with it. The manager explained that all viewings were to be done by the agents and we were happy with that but it never happened; of the very small number of viewings they arranged, every time we had to drop everything and show the potential buyers round ourselves, sometimes at short notice. There was always an excuse...they were short staffed or on their own in the branch. In one case, a potential buyer knocked on our door and said they could not contact the branch to arrange a viewing. I rang the branch one Saturday afternoon and no one was there even though they should have been open. When I queried this later, the staff member said she was out conducting a viewing in total contradiction of what I was told. The worst aspect was that the manager lost our key. He collected it from us on day one and it simply was not entered into their system. I only found out when I received an email when we were on holiday that there was a potential viewing but the branch manager did not know how to get access to our house. I had had at least 3 separate conversations with him and his staff about us being away but at no time was this missing key mentioned. It was eventually found in a drawer, unmarked. I think this is totally unprofessional behaviour for a commercial organisation. He never even contacted us to apologise, he left it to his junior staff members to sort it all out. We cancelled our contract with them as soon as we could and I would not recommend this branch under any circumstances.

Brilliant service throughout

Fantastic communication from first contact point (the director of the branch in Nantwich rang me back as promised). All the staff at the branch (particularly Lottie who handled the sale) were great & highly professional to deal with. I was kept informed at every stage. Best agency in Nantwich in my view.

Reeds Rains Manchester City Center

Reeds Rains Manchester City Center - I have had the worst experience this past month for a letting in Manchester. We were interested in an early offer for an apartment in Manchester, which our friends currently lived in. Sid's tone was extremely rude at all instances I have interacted with him, and he was uninterested to help us at all. We have been lead on for a month, and he was always coming back with news that was never in our favour. As an agent interacting with a potential customer, I would expect proactiveness, which I did not receive at all from Sid. I am extremely disappointed in this entire experience, and felt offended the way he spoke to me.

Too under resourced to provide a reasonable service

Process started well but then fell apart with no management engagement around issues. A key factor for us at the outset was the ability of the agent to show people around the property. However after just a few weeks the 3 person office was down to just one (manager on two week holiday and one person had quit). Unsurprisingly the office could not function as an agency should. We were given no advance warning of the resourcing squeeze. Further we had very poor communication and follow up around an expression of interest, which died a death during the resource squeeze.

Professional and helpful

Professional and helpful. Managed to speed up the process when needed and to provide useful advice. Great letting agents if u move to Liverpool from abroad, as they may be able to accommodate you even if you don't immediately have a UK bank account. Friendly staff too.

Faultless - St Helens branch

We sold our late Mother’s house in Penketh, Warrington through the St Helens branch and cannot praise the service received enough. We were treated with patience, dignity and excellent communication throughout and had a very seamless experience. Jen has been an absolute superstar all the way through and it really has been a pleasure. Thanks so much for all of the help and support.

Great work guys

Hi, I usually never leave reviews, but I’m leaving this one because Reed’s Reins really went above and beyond to help me today with my new rental property. I felt they truly deserved some recognition. Well done, guys, keep up the great work!

Efficient and informative staff.

Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and assisted me in making an informed decision about the properties I was viewing for purchase. I viewed several properties before settling on the one that was most suitable for my needs and the staff kindly facilitated this process.

Having not sold a property for a very very long time I was apprehensive about the whole process. Richard Hague ( Doncaster) and the delightful ladies who answer the telephone, so far have made the sale very stress free. The help and advice the whole team have shared with me has been brilliant. Thank you. I based on my findings would certainly recommend this branch of Reeds Rains.

Managed a very long chain well

We chose RR after getting valuations for 4 companies. The sales brochure and metaport videos were excellent. Initially we have plenty of viewings, things quietened over winter so we took if off the market. We re marketed with a price reduction in spring and quickly had an offer.RR helped arrange a conveyancer: perhaps not our best decision.RR were calm in a crisis when completion approached and the very long chain was getting fraught. Completion day was smooth.Overall, very happy.

DO NOT RENT WITH REEDS RAINS!

DO NOT RENT WITH REEDS RAINS!When you first find a property to rent with Reeds Rains they are incredibly polite and very friendly. Throughout the full tenancy they were helpful but a bit slow at times. The reason for this bad review is that their end of lease process is an utter nightmare. The moment you decide to hand your keys in, they no longer act on your behalf and instead decide to take the landlord's side on all issues and disputes, as they are the people paying the bills. The end of lease co-ordinator they assigned to me is rude, aggressive and regularly makes me feel stupid at every possible opportunity. They deal with hundreds of people at a time and their approach is not personal or understanding, it is as if they are reading off a script full of corporate language. The photos they take on the final inspection are not indicative of what it actually looks like and it felt like they did everything possible to try and take money off our deposit.To top it all off, if they do detect an issue with the condition of your property, you have no choice but to accept the cost quoted by their preferred contractor, which is charging us nearly £200 to clean a mark off a carpet. I will never again consider renting through Reeds Rains and feel absolutely betrayed by them.

Dreadful customer service

House purchase took over 8 months. Sometimes this can just happen due to unforeseen circumstances but this estate agent never, ever once called me back when I requested an update. 9 months in, I am now in the property. I have been waiting over a week for them to call back to supply burglar alarm code. Guess what? No response. Had to ask the neighbour to call the previous owner for the code. Absolute joke of a firm.

Absolute joke and unacceptable service

Due to renew my contract and switch out a tennant-sent request a month prior to tenancy end date and 1 week before my tenancy is due to end I’m told the guy who deals with this is on holiday…when rang up to enquire rudely been told to wait till he’s back…as there is only one person who deals with this…absolute joke of a service…left a week out of my contract end date with no idea what’s going on…

We have sold our property through REEDS RAINS RHYL and bought our NEW PROPERTY through REEDS RAINS HILLSBOROUGH SHEFFIELD. And I thank them both for being helpful in every way. And my Son and Daughter-in Law was treated exceptional by Jayne Needham at Hillsborough in getting help and information for us, and keeping us in touch with everything. Highly Recommended, Graham Copeland

The estate agent is so untrustworthy

The estate agent is so untrustworthy. The house we purchases with many problem, bad boulder, broken bathtub and broken faucets. Estate agent said they have no obligation to ask the seller to fix the problem before they hand over the house to the new buyer, and teased us we had learn from a lesson and never make any mistake when we purchase a house next time. I want to say is that, no one have many chances to buy a dream house in their lifetime.

Stay well away, uneducated, unqualified, the worst of customer service.

At the start these guys seemed just like any other Estate Agent, extremely keen to get you signed up, saying all the right things and being very positive to get you on board. Yes they did get the house sold, but given the current market any other agent could have done the same. That's when the problems began, lack of chasing, lack of communication, lack of relevant and important information, constantly having to call them to then be told often inaccurate information or information they had to hand days ago but neglected to pass on. Constant excuses include we're really busy at the moment from the most useless of them all Hayley. Whatever you do avoid these at all costs. I could rant more and make derogatory remarks about most of them but at then end of the day they are just very inept individuals with very little experience or qualification unable to deliver any semblance of customer service. I am still waiting on them providing relevant information, which has been holding up completion for over a week now. They are refusing to chase the information and are seem to actually be taking great pleasure in causing us more and more problems every day. I would recommend that you look elsewhere when it comes to an estate agent, don't be fooled by the positive attitude to get you signed up, it soon degrades into downright stupidity.

Great service from Reeds Rains Walderslade

Changed to Reeds Rains after a frustrating time with Purplebricks. The service we received from Daniel and his staff was excellent. Friendly, professional and enthusiastic to get our property sold. There were hiccups with the sale for various reasons not associated with the estate agent (illness of someone in the chain, mortgage offers rescinded after lockdown ...) but all were dealt with swiftly to ensure our house was sold. Would recommend them.

Reeds Rains has been looking after my property for almost 15 years now. Although I live far away from home, I was kept updated as much as possible, quick responses every time, given advice with anything I needed. They have been very efficient, caring and prompt in all aspects....routine inspection, finding tenants and dealing with emergencies. Bottom line is: Brilliant service professional, friendly and trustworthy.
