Huge thanks to Tim and Lauren :)

Huge thanks to Tim and Lauren, our experience with renting so far has been professional and friendly from both of you. You have been wonderful with everything from the property viewing and application to getting the odd job sorted out ready for us to fully make ourselves at home. Every interaction has been helpful and understanding. 10/10 for both of you. A very refreshing experience compared to previous experiences with letting/ estate agents. Thank you!

Private tenants AVOID ! BULLIES

Private tenants AVOID !! Never in my life have I felt intimated by a company until my dealings with reeds rains. Absolute bullies. Staff are disgustingly rude. ( Apart from Ellie, I think she is the only one who seems to have undergone any customer service training ) One lady just turned up at my house with a front door key and told me shes coming in to inspect, I asked for half an hour as I was in an important phone call. She told me that doesnt matter, she needs to come in she isnt waiting half an hour and she has a key so WILL be coming in. Alls I was asking was for a bit of time to re arrange my phone call they cant even respect that. She was made up to exert her power that she had a key for my house and was coming in. Hope that made you feel good you horrible woman. House was dirty and an overflowing bin in the living room on my 1st day, therefore caked in flies each window was a graveyard of dead flys. Oven thick with grease. (Despite being told this was being professionally cleaned before I will get the keys) I was told any maintenance issues, reeds rains sends someone to complete then charge landlord. No I sent an email with some maintenance issues and got a section 21 back! They want the house back. Landlords friend came and did some odd jobs after a long while. Not the service I was sold.

ReedRains and religious beliefs

I tried to apply for a mortgage adviser position with Reed Rains. Due to my religious beliefs I was not able to work on Saturdays. Reed Rains were not able to accommodate my religious beliefs despite the fact I offered Sundays , they have many advisers and several estate agency offices in the area and we are in the 21st century. They claim Saturday is a busy day at estate agents (even though appointments were telephone calls only and could be any time) and would not budge to consider even a part time role. The discussion was with an area supervisor in the North West. Reeds Rains are now beginning to address the issue!

I am a landlord that's worked with Reed Rains to manage our property in East London. There has been little need for interactions over the last few years other than the odd visit and collection of rent. However, over the last 6 months, our tenants have unfortunately slipped into arrears of around £10k. Reed Rains has not managed this situation very well, there has been little effort to communicate with the tenants other than rent invoices being sent from an office 200 miles away. It was mentioned three months ago that the tenants might have vacated the property. This was only checked last week with an abandonment notice being placed on the door. Despite repeated requests to be contacted or find out who deals with the property and us as a client nothing has been done. What I have been getting is passive-aggressive emails from the team at credit control taking no responsibility and showing no empathy for the fact we are £10k in arrears with no end in sight and that we could have been better head of the problem. Again there has been no one to speak with to discuss the matter.Our experience of this company and lack of customer service here is shocking, in this case, there certainly have not operated in the best interest and on behalf of the client.

MCR City Center Branch - 0/5

I am landlord, I was on fully managed service with RR. RR selected some bunch of thugs as tenants for my house, Tenants never paid rent on time and stopped paying after 3 months completely. RR did literally nothing, RR failed to effectively do the pre-tenancy checks, referals, failed to notice that tenants had dogs at my property, RR also made blunder when sending S21 notice, it was rejected by solicitor. There is no dedicated property manager, it keeps changing and you need to keep explaining to the new property managers. its big NO-NO agency, avoid yourself a horror and choose some other trustworthy agency.

Reeds Rains Hull

Reeds Rains Hull - EllieThis review is in regards to information i required after leaving my property.I needed information regarding a number of things when i had left Reeds Rains, the main being information on my deposit and how to correctly ask for a refund etc. Ellie replied very quick and reached out to me with all of the updates to do with my deposit refund. I never felt like i was waiting for a response and she handled my needs with what i would deem as above and beyond customer experience.I had a lot of bad experiences with the Hull Branch of reeds rains, especially in recent years. But Ellie was fantastic and couldn’t have done more for me.Nathan K

Myself and my husband viewed a property through Reeds Rein last week. I wanted to pass on how great our experience was with Louise who did our viewing. Louise was professional, but friendly, honest and knowledgeable, and did not rush us through the viewing. We have viewed houses previously and I honestly can say Louise was one of the best we have dealt with. She is a credit to your team. We have made our decision about the house, and how we would like to proceed. I know Louise is going to be in touch soon, so will look forward to speaking with her.

Sorry to say the experience of selling the house with Reeds Rains was not a pleasant one the communication was almost non existent, carrying out simple requests was impossible, no one has followed up after the sale of the property to check everything was ok and the purchasers of the property also complained to me about the estate agent and will not buy from them ever again

Rude estate agent

Today I accompanied my mum to a house viewing and the estate agents showing us around was awful. For the first few minutes that we were in the house she was perfectly pleasant and professional. However, after a conversation between my mum and I where we indicated that the kitchen and garden may be too small for my mum’s needs, the member of staff very quickly became rude and dismissive of everything we said, and her entire demeaner changed to one of irritation. After seeing the downstairs, I asked my mum if she wanted to look upstairs. Before my mum could even answer, your member of staff cut her off with a very sharp “What’s the point in looking upstairs if you’ve already decided it’s wrong?”. Firstly, we hadn’t decided that it was “wrong”, we were just commenting on things as we saw them (we also made lots of positive comments). Secondly, I was addressing the question to my mum because she has mobility issues, and what I was really asking her was “are you physically comfortable enough to go upstairs today?”, which my mum knew, but didn’t get the chance to answer because she was very rudely cut-off. Thirdly, if we’ve travelled there to see the house, we’re going to want to see all of it. That should be common sense. After seeing the rest of the house and making lots of positive comments, we were discussing it in the downstairs hallway. It was obvious that the estate agent just wanted us to leave, she had clearly decided that we were wasting her time. When discussing the garden, mum said that she ideally wanted something bigger. The estate agent asked where mum lived, and then snapped “Well, the garden you’ve got is like a postage stamp!” which was very rude and totally irrelevant. Mum had already explained that she has mobility issues, and now she explained it again, stating that the reason she wanted a bigger garden than what she has now is because she’s struggling to walk to dogs and she wants them to have a big garden to be able to run around in. My mum shouldn’t have to explain her motivations of her criteria for a house to the estate agent, especially when she had already told the member of staff that she has a disability. That is none of the estate agent’s business! We both loved the house and mum is considering putting an offer in, but staff should be trained to a better standard than that.

Great estate agents

Great estate agents. Customer Service was fab. Leah and Tom were both very helpful and kept me up to date and chased solicitors etc. On the day of completion there was an issue with the funds being released and it was late in the day when we got the keys but Tom arranged for them to be dropped off as soon as funds had cleared. I wouldn't hesitate to use them if I move again.

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. I took their advice on a couple of issues and, as a result, sold my property quickly. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Great service.

Left in the dark by Nicola Baines.

I know all estate agents are rubbish but appalling performance from Reeds Rains.We put an offer in on our first home in April, after getting accepted less than a day late we were over the moon.We were put in touch with a lady called Nicola Baines. She was handling the sale and at first she seemed to be on the ball and quick to help. So we thought...Now the issues we had were endless. The sale took 8 months to complete and was a roller coaster of emotions along the way.With my partner heavily pregnant and us itching to get moved in. I found myself doing all the chasing for updates and getting non to little response from Nicola. The issue at hand was the vendor of our first home was struggling to receive paperwork from her solicitors regarding searches.We were asking Nicola to chase up the solicitors to make the sale move. This went on for months. Enquiry after enquiry and little to no interest from Nicola.Eventually around June time I kept trying to contact Nicola and was getting no response. Completely ignored. As I was already doing the estate agents job for them chasing up and sending information off I completely forgot about Nicola.With my partner then giving birth in August we found ourselves living out of a small bedroom in a 2 bed end terraced with a new born baby and my partners Mother, step father and sister. 6 people in a 2 bed house.I was getting very angry and tired of the let down after letdown of this sale and the estate agents not even interested in it going through. After contemplating pulling out I decided to email the Director of Reeds Rains and copy Nicola in explaining my frustration and disgust from such an appealing company...I was then in receipt of a missed phone call. When I rang back it was a lady from Reeds Rains apologising on behalf of Reeds'.Then she proceeded to inform me that Nicola had gone on sick then left the company. Abandoning all sales leaving one member of staff to pick all the properties up and work them one by one. Angela (lady who took over) i completely sympathise with and she did her best to get the sale over the line.The reason for my disgust is the fact that it went 2 months without an agent and Reeds' couldn't even be bothered to let me know she had dropped us and left.I appreciate that the sales were being directed to another member of staff but we should have been at least briefly informed that this was happening...I was absolutely disgusted. I was also told that this behaviour is not new from Nicola and she wasn't that great of an agent.The question i still have in my head despite being in the house 4 months and settled happily is why did all this take 2 months to be informed of. I had to chase for updates myself. If I didn't then how much longer would we have been in the dark. 3 maybe 4 months? I'm confident Reeds' would have been more than happy to keep us at the back of the queue.Absolutely abysmal operations from Reeds Rains. Poor management and terrible staff.I sincerely hope than Nicola Baines new employer is aware of how she treat us and I hope this leaves a mark on her career. As a manager myself why wasn't Reeds supporting her or looking into her lack of work as a staff member.She is supposedly living on the same estate as us as she told us at the start. I'd love to ask in person why she left us in the dark. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour and despite the issue being resolved. Its the fact that they left the buyer to do all the work. Causing peak stress during an already stressful time.Ironically we had to pay up front £100 for a credit check on ourselves before the property even got took off the market.I'd like the £100 back personally and suggest next time Reeds you should check your staff's work ethics before checking the buyers credit score. Which has nothing to do with the estate agent anyway. This should be handled by the solicitor.AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Worst agency I have come across

I've rented with some bad agencies in the past, but these guys are on another level. Several cases of mistaken identity - had repair jobs turn up at my door stating my name and house number when I hadn't called anyone.Communicated with us over a move date and then a week before tried to claim we hadn't given notice. Nearly last two months rent as a result, which we had to fight for.On moving out they picked on every spec of dust and blamed us for damages that were already there. They lost email communications from us, which led to issues on the moving out period as above.They promised to fix spelling errors in our names on contract, but then refused and stated it's because our official documentation arriving in the country was wrong - still can't believe that one.All in all a terrible experience... Avoid!

From the word go

From the word go, they were very friendly and professional. And gave a sense of knowledge in the hopeful sale of my property, which only took several weeks and was over the asking price. Wouldn't recommend anyone else!
