TrustpilotUnbearable Living Conditions and Appalling Service
I feel compelled to share my utterly distressing experience as a tenant with Reeds Rains, Liverpool City Centre Branch. The living conditions in the apartment, managed by this agency, have been nothing short of a nightmare.From day one, promises of a functional lift turned out to be false. Three years of climbing six flights of stairs due to a perpetually broken lift is just the beginning. The downstairs toilet, supposed to be part of a 2-bath apartment, was unusable for the first 6 months, and even after countless complaints, the plumber's "fix" rendered it practically useless.The electrical outlets in the apartment resemble a hazard zone, with exploded sockets in one room plunging it into permanent darkness. Despite repeated complaints, no action has been taken, leaving me in a potentially dangerous situation.Radiators broken, making winters unbearable, and as if that's not enough, the boiler broke on November 17th. Two weeks without hot water or heating in November is not just inconvenient; it's unacceptable. Despite reporting the issue promptly, the letting agent and plumber seem to have vanished, leaving me without updates or resolutions.My recent attempt to address these issues at the Reeds Rains office on November 30th was met with a property manager who was not only rude and accusatory but also dismissive and unhelpful. It's clear that they have no regard for the well-being of their tenants. He yelled at me, walked away, refused to converse, made comments about my character as well as misogynistic statements and told me to leave so he could "do his job". So it's clear his job has nothing to do with addressing or helping tenants or their concerns. I also asked to speak to the lettings manager, and whilst I was waiting, I later came to find he put his coat on and walked right past me to leave the building and ignore the issue. My sole aim now is to escape this uninhabitable nightmare as soon as possible.In light of these experiences, I urge anyone considering Reeds Rains to think twice. The blatant disregard for tenant well-being and the abysmal living conditions make this agency one to avoid at all costs. Save yourself the distress and inconvenience, steer clear of Reeds Rains.

TrustpilotUnprofessional Amateur Standards
My family, booked time off and flew from London to view a rental property in Shotley Bridge with an appointment booked with these agents for this morning. Having arrived yesterday they phoned the agent to confirm the appointment only to be told that the agents had already accepted another client for rental and taken a deposit. Reed’s Rains didn’t communicate this to my family prior to them leaving London - indeed no effort was made to contact them - no answerphone message - nothing. As a result the family have incurred the cost of flights and accommodation in addition to the disappointment. These agents have made no offer to compensate my family and fobbed them off with a “sorry” I therefore suggest that if you are either a buyer or a seller, that you spread this experience to others as an example of Reed’s Raine’s standards in dealing with clients whether they are buyers or sellers. You may also wish to further consider whether to use them or not! Addendum Having had a response as seen here from Reed Rains, I responded giving my telephone number a week ago, and I am still waiting! It’s the same issue as the original complaint - lack of communication, no call, no answer phone message. Their consistent poor performance should be a worry to any potential customer! Be advised.
Hi Nic,Sorry this has been your experience with Reeds Rains. We would like to investigate this further, you will receive a request for more information directly from Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

FacebookI highly recommend David and his team especially Sophie. They sold our house within a week of going on sale. We had used a competitor prior and no sale from them in 6 mths but David & his team got our house sold fast. Worth every penny using them. No hassle kept updated regularly and professional throughout. Highly recommend reeds and rains grimsby 10/10
It was absolutely our pleasure Hannah 😊 Thank you for the very kind words and recommendation, we really do appreciate it x

TrustpilotStolen money from me
Stolen money from me. Use this firm for letting of a property and they use the tenants deposit to protect there own cost. Not mine. Deductions made from my deposit without my authority. Also done exactly the same to a friend who they also let out there property. The property was turned in to drugs factory and scumbags withheld money which they had no rights to. I will never use them again.
Hi Karl,I'm sorry you have not been pleased with the service you've received from Reeds Rains. Customer service is of paramount importance to us. Please let us know which branch it is you had dealings with?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotI will not recommend Reeds Rains Wakefield…
I instructed Reeds Rains Wakefield branch to sell my property. There was loads of errors, misinformation, letter not sent on time. They recommended to me bad solicitor who have no ideas of latest legislations. It took over 7 months to exchange contract. Poor communication, it seems they don't know what they are doing in their office. It as completely waste of time. Very stressful dealing with this company. I will not recommend anyone.
Dear Mr Ogoo,I am really sorry to read about your experience with the local branch, partner conveyancers and to hear of your frustrations with the length of time in which your sale completed, it is my understanding that there were many factors to which elongated the time frame in which legal completion could take place.I would like the opportunity to discuss the points of your experience as delivering first class customer service is very important to mePlease email me at scott.copley@reedsrains.co.uk or call me on 01924 375301 if you would like to discuss this matter further.Kind Regards,Scott Copley - Branch Manager

TrustpilotDO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!!
DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!!I was a tenant in one of their properties and the landlord wouldn't complete any maintenance within the property leaving me with several different issues. I called multiple times and nothing was ever done since I moved in till i moved out. TENANTS RIGHTS! You don't have any with this company may aswell live on the streets. Horrible customer service, Horrible people, Take advantage of your being young. Can't even complain as its so difficult to find a complaints procedure.
Hi Amy,Very sorry to read your review. We would like to look into this matter further for you. You will receive request for more information directly from Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

The team were very friendly and efficient Simon Wilson was brilliant from start to finish he made everything so easy for me and kept me informed throughout the sale as this was a family home of 57years and he was very respectful of this and he was so mannerly and friendly I will definitely use Reeds Rains again.
Glad to hear that! Thank you so much for the review :)

TrustpilotAvoid using this company
Avoid using this company, especially the Sale branch. On the first day, they rented us a property in poor condition and it had not been properly cleaned. Now that we have moved out, they are withholding our full deposit, claiming there were ongoing issues, despite us reporting problems from day one and providing photos as evidence.

TrustpilotPoor, I wish I had not used them as a management for my 2 properties, my advice - do not do the same.
Poor, Poor, Poor. Rhyl branch is dismal. Following a previous bad review, I was called by the Rhyl branch and the main issue of the problem at the time (the centralised management) was removed and work was taken into the branch. This worked well and I would give the service at that point 5 stars. Queries were answered, requests were actioned and local trustworthy business were arranged to do work at my houses when required (the centralised system used a contracting firm which charged high fees, did poor work and on one occasion claimed to do work which the tenant confirmed that they hadn't actually done. When pointed out, they withdrew their claim for payment without argument). I was very happy, my properties were being managed well. Unfortunately the person providing that service at the branch left and things deteriorated. Poor management from the branch has cost me money. All the bad things you hear about estate agents are currently encompassed within this branch. Lies, not doing what you've asked them to do which leave you feeling that they do not care about you as a customer as long as they get paid. Rent smart Wales have introduced lots of new rules and regulations that as a landlord you might think "This is too much hassle, I'll get an agent involved" if you do, my advice is do not choose Reeds Rains Rhyl, you will end up regretting it as I have with both the properties I had with them. It's going to cost me money to get away from them, but it is worth it. They are dreadful.

TrustpilotTerrible property managers
I hir d reeds and rains to manage a dental property and oversee the letting. It has been a nightmare!The tenant severe the notice period whicj they missed for two months and only noticed when the rent stopped coming in. Now we are late at listing the property for rent by two months and loosing rental income..Moreover, R&R's compliance department has been chasing the tenant for defaulting even when he vacated the property after providing appropriate notice.It has been a terrible experience both for me the owner and the tenants

TrustpilotDiscriminate against the elderly
Well it was shocking from the start and got worse quickly. Agent turned up late, didn’t know where the property was, I found the right door. Did know how much per month so that was a surprise but I did know that. Despite that I put in an offer to rent as require a place to live due to a severe fire in my apartment which my elderly mum was lucky to escape and the place was close to my flat. Going through the process the agent apologised as she put the property was available on the ad however she said it should’ve been the 29th Sept, so had to push for the 22nd as a move in date. Now it’s looking heavily unlikely as the Right to Rent doesn’t cater for what the retired and elderly have documentation wise and the agents (Aky) stick to this even though there’s exceptional circumstances as documentation was lost in the fire and homeless. In these cases this needs to be questioned and fed back to management. No wonder homelessness is on the rise. Absolutely shocking customer service all round and now we have nowhere to live because we chose the wrong place.

TrustpilotInhabitable
As soon as you’ve paid your deposit and started paying rent, you won’t get much communication from them. It is basically Impossible to get any maintenance work done - we were left with leaks, mould, lights not working, carpet ripping up, drafts and more. It takes almost a year to get someone to come and look at the problems, then nothing is done despite chasing every day. You ring and email daily but get no response.Glad to be out of there. We were once without a working boiler for over 2 weeks in December. It took me threatening legal action for them to follow some sort of protocol. Even then we were passed around different people who didn’t seem to know how to handle the problem. It gets to the point where it is just unsafe. And after all that, the landlord took the whole deposit to buy a new front door which was not like for like. The property had a lot of potential but it’s not well managed at all.

If I could review this estate agents lower I would. I initially signed for a property in 2021 with a partner - they messed us around for weeks at a time and made the moving in process as stressful as possible which lead to them finally releasing the keys after office hours despite having a moving van waiting all day. Immediately after moving in we had to make a formal complaint due to having to wait over 8 weeks for acknowledgement on maintenance issues. Not something you want straight after moving into a property? Not to mention later going 3 days without heating or hot water in the height of winter.They shut us up by offering to pay compensation of £150 for the inconvenience.However, later in the tenancy the other tenant moved out leaving me, a single young woman, living alone. The landlord, an older gentleman, turned up to the property without notice several times. On one occasion, I granted access to the property for him to review some damp problems, whereby he made multiple inappropriate comments about how my tattoos would look better without my clothes on, and that I was safe going upstairs alone with him. A few days after this, he knocked on the door at circa 7pm at night asking me to go for drinks with him.Being a woman living alone, knowing that this man is aware of this and is in a position of power, I didn't speak out until the end of the tenancy.This landlord then decided to claim over £700 of damages from myself. Luckily, we used the Zero Deposit Guarantee scheme and so they disputed this on my behalf and over £500 of this claim was rejected. Leaving me to pay just under £185 which was settled at the end of 2023.However, over a year after the end of the tenancy, Reeds Rains has just contacted me stating that I owe them £22. A reminder this was paid in 2023, the year that the tenancy ended.I would never ever recommend anybody to use this estate agents, it's a law suit waiting to happen and they clearly don't care about the safety of their tenants from landlords taking advantage of their position nor do they communicate with each other at all and prefer to harass previous tenants.
