Best lettings agents in the area - Gosforth

The staff at reeds rains Gosforth couldn't have made our renting experience any easier. From the viewing all the way up until us moving into the property they have been helpful in anyway they could, even down to recommending companies to help us move with us not being from the area. Big shout out to Phil and Kirsty!

My Initial Call with Lucy was warm and welcoming, she was able to accommodate myself for a viewing soon as due to my work schedule, ever since Lucy has followed up and has been nothing but above and beyond for myself and my wife, she has kept us in the loop from start to finish I would definitely highly recommend anyone to approach Lucy as I am confident that you will receive the highest level of service that we have received I am grateful for the fast and efficient process to renting my home. Once again perfect service from Lucy and the team.

Why do we still need Estate Agents in 2024?

Apparently this estate agent can only sell houses during THIER opening times. How ridiculous. All they need to do is contact the seller to ask if they are happy to undertake a viewing after work, around 5-6pm. If the seller is not happy with that, fine, I'll respect their wishes and find another property. My wife and I are registered with them and we've already viewed another property where the vendor showed us round. Don't the majority of people who want to buy a house work for a living? I thought estate agents had modernised their practices but Reeds Rains still seem stuck in the 80s.

When the going got tough, the manager went AWOL

This is in reference to the Rye Branch.All started well with my intended property purchase, but I was to learn I made a big mistake in using their recommended company of conveyancing solicitors.When the latter proved to be simply appalling, the branch manager decided to go AWOL. No attempt was made to retrieve the situation or to contact me.That was the end of the potential sale. So very disappointing.

I’m surprised at all the good reviews as they’re the worst estate agents I have been with. The landlords were horrible and had no sense of privacy as everytime they came in our house they pretended as if we weren’t there and casually entered each room looking around, without knocking. We were there merely 8 months in and they had visited us at least 3 times. Then later on they requested we move out as they were gonna ‘sell’ the house. The landlord showed up at our house to say this without warning or anything btw, just knocked on the door and expected us to be home. The agents extremely rude doing the move out checks and their interactions throughout the whole thing. Wish I could remember that one lady’s name. The agency and landlords we have now have not bothered us ONCE this far, they came only to fix an outlet and were so respectful of our space they did not go anywhere but the corridor. Please choose your agency wisely!!

Rude, degrading staff. Not helpful at all very judgmental and cocky. Would never ever like to sell my house or buy a house from them. Andrew was fabulous everyone else just total discussing rude behaviour, no empathy and just rude.

POOR ESTATE AGENT

We used Reeds Rains selby north yorkshire to sell our bungalow , things were ok ( allthough we had to do all the chasing up on viewings and despite telling the manager not happy with the service or the lack of it nothing changed ) upto selling but once we had a buyer the manager lost all interest , no updates with how things were progressing and not even a thank you once they got paid quite a large sum of money . definitely will never use them again .

David · 16 February 2024

Agent replied · 17 June 2024

Hi David, Thank you for your review, and I'm sorry that this is how you feel. I cannot agree with your comments around lack of feedback for your viewings as we had multiple customers viewings on your property and I can see notes on every viewing where the staff were chasing and collecting and giving feedback to you. I also do not agree with your loss of interest comment either. I, personally, helped negotiate the offer, achieving £14,000 above the asking price as well as running through information, looking at floorplans and discussing the property you wished to purchase (not being sold via Reeds Rains). During the progression of your sale, I had numerous conversations with you, including when your buyers had lost their purchaser, and I understood from the buyers you had exchanged numbers. At the exchange and competition stage we would normally receive all keys and would thank you for being a customer however, with you having exchanged numbers, and agreeing with the buyers you would meet them to hand keys over directly, we were left out of this stage. So I will thank you for being a customer, I'm happy we helped you buy and sell and buy again, I hope you enjoy your new house and hopefully our paths cross again.Regards,Reeds Rains Selby

Absolute rubbish. Do not use Reeds Reins Ossett

Absolute rubbish. I don’t recommend. I’m in the process of selling. It’s been a total frustration & I feel very badly let down by the staff at Reeds Reins Ossett. I have no idea what they are doing for their commission as it’s always me that’s chasing & trying to get things moving, I’m always getting the answer machine & I very rarely get calls back. It would be a very big review if I went into the nitty gritty of the problems due to their lack of effort. Communication is RUBBISH, the worst of any company I have ever dealt with. They didn’t keep on top of our first sale & we lost alot of time because of them. The second sale is on with & again they haven’t done anything. We’re 3 months into a sale that was supposed to take a month & it’s because they don’t chase things up or communicate with you. I complained by email to the manager laying out their negligence with the first sale. One of the members of staff agreed with my comments on the phone but the manager never responded. I rang twice for a response to my email…nothing. I’ve screenshot all the calls & you can see from my call log that they don’t get back to you. I emailed asking for a response to my complaint & it wasn’t barely a response just a couple of lines of nothing. I’m so so frustrated & fed up of doing all the leg work myself. Very disappointed. I was about to pull out of the sale & move somewhere else as I’d had enough & then they finally did something, however since then I’ve had nothing & yet again I’ve had to chase.

Sold my house with reeds rains i’ve had a bad experience with Reeds Rains in the past so was sceptical about using them again until I met Mel, the manager very professional and warm person when my sale fell through she personally took charge and got us back on track with another buyer we lost no time and soon had a sale

The entire team at Crossgates were brilliant, especially James Walker- lettings manager. James went above and beyond to help us to find a property to let when the landlord of our previous property decided to sell. He's been an absolute star, this is the 2nd property that we have rented from Reeds Rain and James has overseen both lets and managed both tenancy's. Thank you so much to the team and a massive thank you to James for all his help. Cheers mate, Dave and Wendy.

Very cumbersome process

This was cumbersome and unnecessary made a very difficult process. I was a guarantor. Then I needed a reference from my employer. I have to submit taxes. Totally crazy. I have no idea how this people can even rent one house. If I wasn’t doing it for my loved one I would totally go somewhere else. They need to tone it down. Pure nonsense. Scary stuff
