TrustpilotWill charge you a fee for anything …
Will charge you a fee for anything including signing a new tenancy agreement . Reported damage numerous times but no reply. Send out flat inspection letters but don't turn up on the day. Tried the hard sell at the beginning on insurance and lied that it would look good to landlord. Transfered me to a energy company that went bust. Nice on the phones and in person but completely incompetent. If I was a landlord I would avoid these on lettings as they are not interested.

TrustpilotNot a valued customer
Used reeds rains to rent a flat in manchester. after deciding on the flat and paying my admin fees communication was sparse. Everytime i phoned them to try and clarify issues / move in dates it felt like i had to repeat myself 2 days later. As a new renter, i never got hald the questions answered and received little to no help other than "pay this" and to just trust them. It seemed to me that unless i was paying the deposit or admin fees they didnt give a crap about anything else and would not return emails / phonecalls.

TrustpilotReeds Rains Ashton Nightmare
Reeds Rains Ashton - the most miserable Estate Agency I've ever dealt with! Thoroughly incompetent and unprofessional. They got everything wrong every time I had to deal with them. The worst was all the hidden nasty surprises in the rental agreement like a phrase giving Spark Energy the right to take over my utilities - despite the law which gives the person who pays the bills the right to choose their own utility company. Spark and Reeds Rains work together to prevent you from leaving and gouging you month on month with ludicrously high bills and refusing to release your account no matter how often you demand and threaten. Pure hell. Had to file complaints with the Energy Ombudsman. Can't tell you how many times Reeds Rains lost paperwork, gave me the wrong information, changed things without telling me. If you ever have to deal with them - KEEP EVERYTHING! In the end I'm so glad I did. My choice is never to use them again ever. No house is worth the hassle of dealing with them.

TrustpilotLandlords BEWARE OF REEDS RAINS
I had the misfortune to employ Reeds Rains to manage my rental property, They charge 10 percent!!. Well not quite, if you add on the VAT and the ridiculous cost of renewing the lease and other add ons that they deem fit it’s nearer to 15 %. As far as managing the property, all they did was to employ their own contractors for an unbelievable fee to do any simple jobs. In the end I dealt with the tenant myself and everything went well as I wasn’t ripped off by journeymen builders, I did this for four years and then decided enough was enough. I waited until the lease was up and told them I was managing it myself as they served no purpose. You would think that would be that but no, they then dig out the small print and charged ME one months rent plus VAT (which I can’t claim back ) £1080 calling it a withdrawal fee. I reluctantly paid it as I was threatened with court. Please do not have any dealings with them they are useless and dishonestOh yes while I remember it takes them 12 days to pay the rent, money which is in their account earning free cash for them. My tennant pays me instantly on the day. BEWARE OF REEDS RAINS

The staff at the Bridlington branch were fantastic and made the whole process of buying a house and selling so easy.We were let down with the first sale of our house due to the parties involved backing out, Jemma Hawden at the branch was all over it and tried exceptionally hard to find a new buyer, which she did.We are really happy in our new home and that’s thanks to the whole team at the Bridlington branch, for having that never say never attitude..Many thanks from a very happy Tillman familyRegardsMartin

TrustpilotLazy and very untrustworthy...
Lazy and very untrustworthy...We moved out of a property on 18th August and still waiting for a report or any word about our bond returning or not...landlord doesnt know either. We have been lied to about mix ups etc since. They even lied to the landlords about things. I would rather be homeless than go through this company again.Myself and my partner are getting married in October and had to use our honeymoon money on a new flats bond and moving vans etc. The bond would give us our honeymon back but Im not holding my breath. Absolutely shockino customer service...I got called rude for complaining but I think we had a right to complain when they are clearly messing us about. Caught them out a few times because I'm texting the landlord who isn't happy about their services either.Thinking about complaining to a higher source if need be...shame I have all their emails to show the top bosses of the company or ombudsman!Named and shamed!!Like the title suggests....Lazy and very untrustworthy!!

TrustpilotWe had a very negative experience…
We had a very negative experience letting a property from Reeds Rains. Communication is a lost concept on this agency. We paid a lot of fees before moving in to the property and were charged 'admin fees' at every opportunity throughout.At the end of the tenancy, a report was produced which specified that the lounge was poorly cleaned due to the carpets being discolored. We were prepared to contest this as the agent doing the inventory when we moved in (from a different agency which did the check out report) noted this. The landlord requested a cleaning of the lounge and requested a deduction from the deposit.When questioning this with the agent, I was responded to with one sentence replies. A lot of the issues we had could have been sorted through better communication, and I think its the agent who is responsible for this.I asked to see the invoice, it transpired that the work had not been done, and the new tennants check in report did not have this red mark on it. This looked like foul play to me as I don't think they would have sent cleaners round to do the work, had we agreed to the deductions, as new tennants were already in the property.

TrustpilotReeds rains ashton under lyne.
Reeds rains ashton under lyne.What an absolute disgrace of a company! So unbelievably unprofessional. We have rented a property for a year and a half and have had several issues dealing with reeds throughout the whole time!From moving in we had issues with smells from the drains which meant we were unable to use one of the bed rooms. Work men and neighbours informed us this problem has been on going for a long time. We were waiting a few months until reeds finally listened to us and sent some one to fix it. Not ideal when heavily pregnant! Be warned reeds rains have spare keys to the property and will bring people in to view the property prior to us moving out and without informing us of the viewing! This is unacceptable and a breach of our privacy!When moving out reeds were incomplete of checking the inventory from when we moved in there for informing the land lord of damage “we have made” although it was in the inventory from us moving in and extra problems they missed but we emailed pictures over the day we moved in! This would have cost us a lot of money even though it was not our fault!Reeds should be able to complete check out and compare to the inventory!We have had to argue with them to prove our innocence and send over photo evidence for several things because of their incompetence! And we have not received an apology from Dale or any other branch member for their wrong doing! If your happy for people to come viewing your property with out you knowing who has been in and out and your happy to be charged for things you didn’t damage by all means rent with reeds rains. However I advise everyone to stay well away from this incompetent company!

Trustpilot5 star recommendation for Mortgage Adviser Emma Blackwell
I would highly recommend using the services of Reeds Rain in Garforth, in particular those of mortgage adviser Emma Blackwell. Emma showed me the full range of mortgages and explained everything clearly and professionally to enable me to decide which product to apply for. She dealt with my application, sensitively and efficiently and even provided me with an update on her non-working day. I would have no hesitation in recommending Emma to friends and family (or anyone else seeking a mortgage).

TrustpilotAbsolutely atrocious company
Absolutely atrocious company. Incompetent, untrustworthy and extremely shady.We rented a flat in Wakefield using them for around a year, and moved out when my son was born. Since then they have attempted to charge us rent every single month despite us having not lived there for over a year. They now have people chasing us over the supposed arrears and threatening legal action because of our unpaid rent.To be clear, in the time we lived there, we never missed a single rent payment. They just continued to try to bill us after we moved out.Avoid at all costs.

Such a positive experience from start to finish, the team supported me to sell my home and I managed to get my dream home which became available the day j agreed an offer on mine! Excellent communication, including at a difficult time when my first buyer pulled out. All worked out and was smoothly handled by Claire, Sarah, Jane and all the team. Can't thank you all enough!

TrustpilotTwo years after letting my house…
Two years after letting my house through this company I'm still feeling the after shock. They contacted me when I was abroad saying my neighbour wanted to extend at the back of his house, and that it might compromise the windows on my lean to. I said it was OK as long as my side of the extension was made good. They just conveyed it was ok, which has left me with a £400 bill for making good. This is on top of a long list of miscommunications, not handling my tenants check out correctly, not following though on various items, contracting builders from London to fix a leak 50 miles away in Rye. Grossly incompetent, high staff turn over due to negligent management, poor communication...the list is endless. Buy through them by all means, but let your property out through them at your peril.

TrustpilotSo called estate agents
I am not a big review writer but I need to share my expreience with this so called estate agent.I was really interested about a property they are advertising so I was trying to make an appointment. It took them 3 days to answer the phone. I left them several voicemails only to get no answers.I managed to book a viewing at 9:45. The property I am talking about is right in front of their office. I got their in the morning rush only to be kept waiting for about 20 minutes.We climbed about 4 stair high staircase. My agent tried to open up the property for long minutes. It did not happen. He than went to pick up another set of keys and the procedure started again. So I was travelling for 2,5 hours, waited for an agent for 30 minutes and stood at the door for another 15 minutes and I could not even enter to the property. I have been promised to get a call from them on the same day as they are calleng for a locksmiths. I am still waiting for that call even tho it happened a week ago.I only wish I could give them 0 stars.

Staff are nice that work there but the service is terrible. Had sitting tenant refuses to pay rent then after 3 mths rent protection pays out then tenant pays a mth so back to square 1 again . Fully managed by not doing anything about everything that tenant has dog in house and tenancy said no pets . Get house back after 3 yrs and stuff broken damaged or dog eaten in the house . Talked into sell at online oration site new way start low and bids go up. This is a lie as people go lower not higher so say. They talk the talk can take the money but want you to sell house bellow the asking price as a set deal.
