TrustpilotDifficult from Start to Finish
The Manchester branch have made the experience of renting difficult for me from start to finish. Made promises on the viewing they weren't willing to keep (work that would be completed before moving in), moved in to a property without any smoke alarms (they had made me sign a document before collecting keys to say they were there), were unresponsive to a number of maintenance issues that needed completing (it took two months to get things fixed, including me having to go in for a meeting to get them to take action), and now they are finally fixed want to start coming to inspect the flat in case I've done any damage! (So much for quiet enjoyment of the property)I want to move someone into my spare room, and have been told that I need to re-referenced in case I can't afford the property any more (all for a fee of £60).Beware of anything you're told that you don't get in writing.

Hi Peter,Firstly, I am very sorry you have felt the need to write this review. Please feel free to call me on 0161 236 9088 at any point to discuss these or any other matters. To address your points, I understand there was a battery operated smoke alarm when you moved in and subsequently we fitted a hard wired smoke alarm at the cost of Reeds Rains. From looking at our file notes we dealt with all maintenance issues in a prompt fashion. We inspect each of our properties twice a year and provide ample written notice (25 days in this case) as this is a service our landlords expect. Finally, I understand one of my colleagues gave you incorrect advice yesterday in relation to you moving a friend in and I apologise for this. However I also understand he advised you to speak to our senior property manager, Joe, which you did and he explained the process and also confirmed that no fee would be payable. Kind Regards Greg Davies, Senior Branch Manager

TrustpilotOne to avoid
We rented with Reeds Rains before buying a property (with another agent) late last year.The fees are phenomenal, although they do outline the initial fees (to draw up a contract, etc.), what they didn't tell us is that they charge this fee again, plus an additional fee each time you want to renew your tenancy agreement.At first it was all fine, but when we gave notice to leave the property, the branch manager (Chesterfield branch) made the experience very difficult and stressful. We were happy to accommodate viewings and only asked that they took place while we were at home. She still tried to book viewings when we were at work and told us on one occasion that since they had keys they would enter the property anyway after giving us 24hrs notice. Luckily this didn't happen as we did check our rights on this, but during the one viewing that took place, the person conducting it walked in and was surprised to see me as he had been told the property was vacant (which we understood wasn't his fault). Unfortunately the branch manager was always rude and very condescending with us, however the rest of the branch staff were polite whenever we spoke to them.Our landlord was great and very easy to deal with, and there were no problems in getting the full deposit back, even though Reeds Rains alluded to there being a possibility we wouldn't get it (although the property was left in better condition than when we moved in).

TrustpilotSelling my house with Reeds Rains
I picked Reeds Rains simply because I've always noticed their , 'For Sales', signs wherever I would go and I'm so glad I did because my first contact was with a lady named Grainne. I was very nervous but Grainne, immediately put me at ease over the phone and I was then able to explain to her, my needs, also Ethan, I have to say was just excellent and very professional in guiding me through everything. I can highly recommend this company to you for selling your house. Excellent, excellent!

GoogleI've used Reeds Rains to rent out my property for several years now and have nothing but good things to say, particularly about lettings manager Tracey Cordner at the Lisburn branch. She is very easy to work with, always friendly and helpful and good at smoothing over any potential problems before they become an issue. Thanks Tracey!

TrustpilotTerrible letting agents!
Terrible letting agents!I've been waiting over 8 months for a list of repairs to be carried out and when I chase them up, Reeds Rains hardly ever respond. When they can be bothered to respond, it's just the same old excuses and poor attitude trying to blame everyone else and not taking responsibility like adults.I would not recommend this company in any way. Save your money and avoid these cowboys.

TrustpilotWe viewed a modern auction house
We viewed a modern auction house, you know the one where they con the owner out of their hard earned cash to take a lower price whilst screwing the purchaser out of 6k! Won't touch this company again after loosing a property as had to bid against people who viewed when the vendor no longer wanted to sell via modern auction but they said we were bound to it in a verbal agreement.

TrustpilotAbsolutely awful company overall - avoid if possible.
Absolutely awful company overall. Some of the local staff are ok, but lettings management in Manchester are just ridiculously slow, arrogant, and nobody seems to care. I am speaking as an ex-tenant. We rented for 12 months and paid all the relevant fees. Then extended for 3 months via the landlord - RR charged £120 to photocopy and resend the lease. When we left they took an age to do the leaving report and longer to send the report out and return the deposit (nearly 3 weeks), but also deducted an extra £120 for the 'check out fee'. This is in the small print apparently, so my fault for not reading that properly, but just trying to make others aware. They are happy to help landlords arrange maintenance (very slowly) but apparently ask quotes to include an element for them, which they take on top of the monthly charge to the landlord. I'm pleased to say we have bought a house again now, but if I ever needed to rent again, would do whatever I could to not go near Reeds Rains.

I'm sorry that you have not been happy. If you want to tell us more about your experience, you can find our complaints procedure here: https://www.reedsrains.co.uk/contact-us/lettings-complaint-branchIn response to the points you have raised above:Our tenant fees are outlined in our Tenant Fee Declaration form which is issued with our contracts and signed by all tenants. Fees are also listed alongside every property listing online, in our branch and on our website. Our Renewal Fee is a contribution towards preparing a new Tenancy Agreement and negotiating with your landlord for a further fixed term tenancy. Extending your tenancy, if agreed by your landlord, gives an assurance of staying in the property for a further fixed period, at an agreed rent and avoids the uncertainty of a landlord serving notice at any given time.Our Check Out Fee is the charge for an inventory company to carry out an inspection at the end of the tenancy. The check out report forms an important part of how the return of your security deposit is arranged.We do include a contractor commission. This is outlined in our Terms Of Business and helps us ensure that our contractors are fully insured and competent together with being correctly accredited to carry out any works needed.Reeds Rains

TrustpilotRR Didsbury - Awful!
- Took two months to gain access to my own mailbox. In the end, only gained access by hiring a locksmith and charging the company. - My bank details were sent to a different person (who happened to have the same name). - Despite being informed on numerous occasions, nothing was done about the black mould in the property. An independent surveyor described the situation as ‘worrying’ and ‘unacceptable’. - Absolutely awful at returning calls or replying to emails. - Lost two sets of keys to the flat, meaning I had to get more cut. - Horrendously unorganised; to say the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing is an understatement. It may be more accurate to say the right hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. - The inventory was done after living in the flat for two months. Quite how this is to show the state of the flat at the beginning of the tenancy, I’m unsure. - Upon checkout, tried to demand professional cleaning services used and a variety of other riders, none of which are mentioned in the contract. - It took the best part of three years for Reeds Rains to organise the repainting of the ceiling, despite reminders every three months on their ‘property inspections’. - Rude and condescending emails from staff, some of which are practically illegible due to formatting, spelling and grammatical mistakes.
