AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Absolutely disgusting treatment from the agents and landlord. I don’t think the box is quite big enough to fit all of the problems we have encountered in the last year. The lack of communication is atrocious, and the inexperienced staff is embarrassing. Don’t think they know that my partner worked for an estate agents and knows all the legalities of certain procedures which they clearly don’t know. Avoid at all cost.

Avoid Reeds Rains if possible - exploitative, disorganised and stressful

We are renting a house managed by Reeds Rains. Our landlord is wonderful, but our experience with Reeds Rains' poor management has caused serious issues and made us feel insecure in our tenancy, leading to unnecessary stress. In the last six months, we have:1) been forced to live without hot water/heating (in February) for two weeks as the Reeds Rains' maintenance department did not pass on information about the issue to our landlord. We made a formal complaint to Reeds Rains who reluctantly (after weeks of calls and emails) agreed to compensate us. They did not take responsibility, despite their agent acknowledging that he had neglected to pass the information on for over a week. 2) Despite going on to a rolling monthly contact (SPT), Reeds Rains are now attempting to force us to sign up to a 12 month tenancy, at the cost of £120. We did not have to do this last year and they are not answering our questions appropriately, and their poor communication has given us the impression that we have no choice but to sign up to the tenancy. Their emails have implied that we sign a 12 month tenancy renewal or our notice will be served. We are not in the position to sign up for a 12 month tenancy as, after two years in the property, our circumstances are changing. There has been no acknowledgement of this or any sense of understanding by their renewals team.3) We are often called for marketing purposes by Reeds Rains local branch who seemingly call to thank us for looking after the property so well and then attempt to sell us products which we do not need, and they will ask questions like 'do you know what you'd do if you couldn't pay the rent?' 4) Our experience when when signing up to the initial contract was comical as their representative was unable to deal with paperwork, frequently lost documents and wasted hours of our time in the branch office during our working days all for a sign up process which should be simple.5) Their fees are extortionate and we will have to pay £120 to leave the contract. Overall, our experience has been fraught with difficulties. The company have little understanding of the situation renters are in, and they attempt exploit our position for their financial gain. We would not recommend any landlords to use Reeds Rains to manage their property, and we could advise renters to use a different lettings agent.

Horrendous Customer Service

Horrendous customer service from start to finish, i will never deal with Reeds Rains again due to complete lack of professionalism and arrogance received from the Rothwell branch. I would advise anybody looking for a property to use another branch on the high street. You pay extortionate fees for a service that is absolutely disgraceful, they are quick to take your money but its painful to get back what is yours. When asking questions regarding the property and fees, they give you an indirect answer and beat around the bush, not to mention fees that are not clearly stated. Completely dishonest, incompetent and rude. If I could give 0 stars they would certainly be getting this. The worst person from the Rothwell branch for customer service was Joanne Woodhouse, who in my eyes is completely unemployable, due to her attitude and inability to be professional, she should not be working in a business that is anything to do with customer relations, but it wasn't just one person, this seemed to be the case from managerial level down. Jorden Harrigan was another employee ("Property manager") whose customer service was appalling, he seemed to get a kick out of making things as difficult as possible and thrived off sending arrogant emails, seemingly with the intent to wind you up. I cannot reiterate enough to stay away from Reeds Rains!

PEMBERTON BRANCH

PEMBERTON BRANCHI have only been to 1 viewing but I can say that Alan was a dedicated professional. He quickly put our minds at rest when he contacted the office for further advice He was very knowledgeable on the area and on local housing stock (We didn't know the area very well) The head of Letting Bryony was also equally as quick to respond to my questions, both by phone and email. If our viewing is not successful we will obviously ask them to keep us in mind for any potential rentals that ticks our boxes. John & Mary

Prolonged, unprofessional, nightmarish!

Currently in an awful situation with Reeds Rains. No inventory provided at beginning of lease, were lied to about the property having been professionally cleaned. They refuse to do any upkeep work, despite fully managing on behalf of the landlord. They claim "landlord must consent" prior to confirming any repair. It is a scam. Landlord is probably paying them to enjoy his/her own life, and they're squeezing us out of money with extortionate fees. We moved into the place and trash had been left in the front and back yard, food remnants in kitchen cupboards...stay away while you can! UNPROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONAL LIARS.

At first I thought yeah very good

At first I thought yeah very good, Alison was amazing in helping get sorted. But throughout things I told them about maintenance that needed doing didn't get done or even acknowledged apart from 1 thing so had a freezing cold flat most of the time! I've now moved out early although still under contract and the communication is horrendous especially the snotty 'Andy' through email. All I asked for is dates of when the tenant was moving in and about the inventory being done but again no real answer until today when he all of a sudden gave me an exact date surprise surprise! And emailed the moving out/ maintenance team who are useless and told me nothing apart from that there was 'outstanding work' even though I've emailed issues I've had with them and issues that arose because they didn't maintain the property correctly. Still no reply from them too. Stay clear of reeds rains

Shocking, don’t be a landlord through this company

Rented our home for years with no rent review, with mortgage rates and bills increasing, in May 2022 we asked for a price review and it was agreed that it could be increased by £50, tennant also agreed. After having everything agreed the rent didn’t change, I chased it up and was told it would be September (from asking in May!) 4 months, what a joke! They said they needed time to inform tennant, but the tennant knew about it as we spoke to tennant direct! Anyway September comes, and guess what the rent still hasn’t been changed. I’ve chased and chased and got zero response! Happy to chase me if they need something from me though. Absolutely furious. I have all the emails to show our conversations with Briony Runham who is now ignoring me!

Flat sale using Reeds Rains Crossgates

I have recently used Reeds Rains Crossgates Branch to sell my property. The workers Clair and Jane did the majority of the support and chasing and were extremely helpful in progressing the sale. There were a couple a small glitches but I was extremely thankful for the support and guidance I received throughout the process. Would highly recommend them

Have been a tenant via Marple Reeds…

Have been a tenant via Marple Reeds Rain since Sept 2017. Dealt completely by an amazing lady called Carolyne Weston who has really looked after ourselves as Tenant throughout the tenancy. Carolyne is pleasant, approachable and always returns your calls and communicates effectively with you when you have a query. Carolyne has visited the property and always leaves a little bit of feedback so we know all is okay which is a good thing for ongoing management of the tenancy. Carolyne chases any concerns we had about repairs outside of reeds rains control and is definitely a doing sort of person. to be honest the tenancy has been fine but we will miss Carolyne especially and her colleagues at Marple Branch

Great work Reeds Rains, Holmes Chapel Branch!

Anthony, Tim and the team at Reeds Rains, Holmes Chapel looked after me and the sale of my property from start to finish in a professional, helpful and friendly manner. Despite some bad luck with two potential buyers pulling out, the guys at Reeds Rains were both reactive and proactive to the situation.Their advice kept me positive and a sale was achieved. I’d recommend them to any vendor. Thank you.

Buying a New Property

I have just bought a new turnkey property through Reed Rains. Aimee was fantastic she was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her. She made the whole process of buying so much easier for me as I had a few wobbles along the way. 😀

Just used Reed Rains to re let flat in Acomb

Just used Reed Rains to re let a property in Acomb and the service was Brilliant. In particular Alex Simpson ensured that not only did we find good tenants but also had an effortless transition from previous letting agents. He was extremely prompt, courteous, professional and made sure that both we and the tenants were happy. Felt like we were in safe hands. Cannot recommend Reed Rains Acomb enough.

Excellent and friendly estate agent

From the very start I knew that I was in good hands with Reeds Rains and the sale of my house, nothing was too much trouble for the manager and lovely staff at the Morley branch.The photographer, production of the brochure, online advertising, viewings through to the sale of my property all happened quickly and competently, I was kept informed every step of the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Reeds Rains to handle any person's sale of their property

Discriminates against people on…

Discriminates against people on benefits in the form of requesting people on benefits to provide a guarentor which they would not ask someone in employment. I only found this out the night before my viewing as i took it upon myself to double check information i had already provided in my initial enquiry. Sloppy, and could have wasted a whole day of my time which they obviously dont care about and no apology after all this. In a nut shell vile.

Inept & Incompetent

Inept, Incompetent, Pathetic.Reeds Rains Huddersfield, Branch Manager Liam Doran. Booked a viewing for a house, turned up at agreed time, waited, waited, no sign of agent. Turns out the property had been sold earlier in the week and Reeds Rains neglected to tell people that came to view the property.Poor managed by branch manager Liam Doran who clearly couldn't manage a p*ss up in a brewery yet alone rub an estate agents. Missing in action and unable to get hold of him on Saturday to see just what the hell had gone on. Clearly the staff at this branch don't give a flying Fk and are happy to treat prospective buyers as something on the bottom of their shoes.Avoid this unprofessional bunch of incompetents.

APPALLING

APPALLINGBoth at branch and Head Office levelParents were landlords with ReedsRains. When they passed away, as executors we supplied them with all required death certificates and probate grants in order for their estates to be wound up. They failed to store these documents correctly or file them. They have held on to thousands of pounds of money owed to the estate for 9 months now. After months of trying to resolve this, we were asked for a Land Registry document but nobody explained which one or why for weeks. Having finally found out what they needed, I was able to supply it in twenty minutes. Which I assumed would be the end of the matter.Yesterday, Julie Miller in accounts triumphantly announced she was going to split the funds between the executors and my mother - until I pointed out my mother is dead and ReedsRains have had her death certificate for nearly a year. She wasn't so pleased with herself then. Julie won't pass calls on to her managers Irene or Lisa Smith or the person who is apparently dealing with this (very badly), Iulian. In one breath today, Julie acknowledged how appalling the whole experience has been and in the next she blamed the branch again and put the phone down on me.The branch are appalling too. The manager is apparently never there, has copies of my mother's death certificate and probate grant on her email but didn't pass them to the accounts department and cannot be contacted. Various other people asked for documents but were unable to explain what they were or what they were for.So: my advice would be steer clear. They don't manage or store sensitive information correctly, they don't communicate clearly, they hold on to funds for many months with no legal grounds. It seems in order to fulfill my legal obligation as an executor I will have to take legal action against ReedsRains. I will also be submitting a complaint to the ombudsman. Genuinely shocking. We have our own portfolio of property managed by another company locally and have never experienced anything as dreadful as this.Reeds Rains never bothered to do anything to follow up even though I responded to their message on here. They could not explain why they had asked for half the documents they requested. AVOID

As proud tenants of our home we were…

As proud tenants of our home we were sick to our stomachs when we received a termination email leaving us with 2 months to leave and find somewhere else to live! We were sent this email out of the blue and our landlady had no idea of this. Worrying and trying to think of how we and our children would live without a home and where we would go. Our hearts broke instantly and we were in panic and distress. we personally reached out to our landlady and we have great communication with her. She was also shocked. We phoned reeds raines with absoulte heart ache to try and understand why we would be loose our home where we have a very small baby. For them to rudely laugh down the phone to us telling us it had been sent in error. it was very unprofessionally delt with and there was no compasion or empathy to the trauma of thinking we were loosing our home. Landlords,landlady's, property sellers and tenants. Use a different property agency.

Reeds Rains Woodseats

Angela at reeds rains was absolutely brilliant from the very start when I viewed the property right to the very end when I picked up the keys and was always at the end of the phone for any advice I needed, surpassing her role as an estate agent. I can’t thank Angela enough for her efforts it really helped me through the process of buying my first house

Do not use this company

This company have illegally retained money that does not belong to them, they are unproessional and untrained, with holding deposits and rent payments to landlords. I have had to contact them persistantly to be told to google what is required to return a deceased deposit as they are not sure, to be told it hasnt been picked up because a member of staff was on holiday for 2 weeks, so noone picks up other staffs work, to be told over 3 weeks ago they now have all they require and still no return of funds. Do not use this company they take 2 weeks to pay landlord rents even though they already have the funds, they have broken the law by not returning the funds in the required time frame even though the landlord has requsted this to be done, we have now instructed a solicitor as this is effecting a grieving family who need to close a deceased estate

Deserves Less Than One Star!

Deserves Less Than One Star!Useless is an understatement. Totally inept until they want £120.00 to resign the same contract with a "slight" rent increase every year.Incredibly inefficient, slow and unable to organise anything. When we first started the contract it took over 3 months to fix broken appliances to a sub standard quality. Even now trying to organise things to get fixed is a sluggish nightmare.Not looking forward to the deposit lynching we will get when we leave the property.
