Terrible

Terrible follow up service. The agent said they would send photos of the inside of the integral garage as I could not get in on the viewings but nothing was sent. After the offer is accepted they wipe their hands and can’t be bothered with communication. They are very pushy before the offer. I made a revised offer after finding damage and work required and still can’t get a response or update. They also don’t declare everything about the property so be very careful and I wouldn’t recommend this agent.

Rip off merchants and ignorant

Viewed property in august got moving in date of sept 2020 then it all went belly up first the electric needed sorting so put off moving date then decorating it’s now been six months of messing about with hardly any contact then we have to do another credit check etc etc then when we said we are sick of getting messed about by them they refused to give holding deposit back total true colours and yes I’m taking it further due to the fact they messed us about for almost six months then expected us to move in over Xmas with two children Stay away find a better agent who will be honest and truthful with youAfter having no options of replying to your reply if you can read this it was the Halifax Bill Green office

Services below adequate

I absolutely would not recommend Reeds Rains. Services provided are below adequate. We let our property out through them and they are unwilling to take responsibility for faults that should not have been brought to our attention, as quite frankly they shouldn't have been there in the first place had prior work been completed to a satisfactory standard. We are now in a position of having to fork out hundreds of pounds (only three years after we paid to have this issue sorted). The quote has changed figures on a number of occasions and I do question who they are actually letting in to do work on properties.

Reeds Rains Hyde Branch.

Gaynor & Wendy at Reeds Rains Hyde were very understanding and professional when dealing with the sale of my dads property. The new buyer was very patient because of probate due to the property having to be sold due to my fathers death. A massive thank you to the team at Hyde. I will definitely recommend your services. Keep safe.

Dealt with by Ellie From the St. Helens branch, Ellie has been great from the second I enquired about the property, she’s answered any questions I’ve needed answering, was very patient and understanding regarding how available I was to talk. She even went the extra mile to try and get myself a better price pcm. Thankyou Ellie.

If you’re a tenant threaten them with…

If you’re a tenant threaten them with legal action!! That’s the only thing that seems to work. I’ve been to the solicitor once already this year for maintenance that I’d been chasing for 10 months, it was done in a week. They were avoiding me so much that it was the only option. Even today, I’ve been waiting months to get my guttering changed because it’s causing my window to flood through, they’ve ignored me, spoken to me like I’m worthless, it’s disgusting!!! YOU SIGNED A TENANTS AGREEMENT!!!!!! Get a grip! I’ve got an appointment with the same solicitor next week, hopefully get their months notice in straight after, and then get a judge to deal with them, then I’m moving the hell out!!

Estate Agency Management at its best

The whole team at the Widnes Branch are friendly, polite, communicative and super helpful, which as I’m based in Bristol has been a welcome relief.Stephen has also helped with closing checks from the previous tenant, along with arranging repairs to be made that have certainly helped with the overall sale of the property.Would highly recommend their service!

The worst agency I dealt with honestly

The worst agency I dealt with honestly. First, they make the procedure smooth and easy for obtaining a property, and after you pay the holding deposit they make it more difficult for you with many unconvincing requests and for unknown reasons. I hope that the company consider hiring people with higher qualifications in dealing with the customer, keeping promises and sticking to the dates of the expected calls.

Reeds Rains Bamber Bridge

I recently sold a Tenanted property through Reeds Rains Bamber Bridge.Not an easy sale to conduct as the Tenant was staying in place, Alison never gave up and eventually found the perfect purchaser to take the house and tenant, great communicator and very professional throughout.I will be going back with a second sale shortly for Alison to deal with.

Buyers Beware!!

Buyers Beware!!As a new customer looking to buy, the first contact was not very great. Rude attitude and no phone manners let alone customer service skills. Sellers have entrusted you to sell a house, you have charged a fee for this service so deliver that. I have both bought and sold homes before and spoken with many agents in my time but this by far-left a bitter taste in my mouth. I will never understand this so call level of prestige some agents seem to think they have over people. Every enquire should be dealt with the same level of care and respect.I will be sure to never use you to sell my next house if you service the area .

What an amazing team

What an amazing team at Burnley. We have nothing but a first class service. The team, especially Dawn and Rachel, have gone above and beyond for my husband and I. Extremely professional, friendly, and go that extra mile for you to ensure moving house is stress free. Thank you for such an excellent service.

No contact as promised.

An appointment was arranged for an agent to view my home to give me a valuation. The viewing was cancelled due to a circumstance to which I accepted but the agent said he'd ring me the next day to give me a valuation over the phone. A week on and I never received the call. If he couldn't contact me then surely the professional thing to do is to pass the job to someone else. So I shall not be using Reeds Rains in the future.

Avoid!

Avoid! Whether you are a buyer or seller, don't waste your time, effort and money!Booked a viewing to find the estate agent knew very little about the property. Promised to get back to me the following day with answers to questions we asked... nothing. Until just under a week later when they rang for feedback on the property. When advised we are awaiting a response to our questions (which the lady seemed oblivious to) and that this service is not good enough, they blamed the owner of the property for not getting back to them and advised they would get back to us again... yet we are still waiting. Turns out we viewed a friend of a friends house and they wasn't even aware of the viewing (house was unoccupied), let alone the questions! (Preston branch)

Do not I repeat do not use this agent

Do not I repeat do not use this agent! Alison Sidney based in Walderslade has totally given false information on a regular basis on renting a property. She was happy to take £288 holding deposit yet still carried on letting other clients view the property. My son gave all information requested including a guarantor and still she mis lead us into believing that my son and his partner would be moving into the house. This agent lies and takes deposits misleading people totally - stay clear and go with a reputation agent - not this bunch of shafters!

Reed Rains, Macclesfield

Excellent service from the team, in particular Sue, Zoe and Jaya at RR Macclesfield who recently sold my house for me. From the first point of contact they were polite, friendly, knowledgeable, easy to approach and very professional. They also sold my house within a few weeks and made the whole process easy. I cannot thank or recommend them enough!

Fed up of being ignored

Fed up of being constantly ignored by this company. Have emailed them directly, through their website, through RightMove, called them, left voicemails and left my contact details with an employee where I was promised a call back. So far I've not been contacted (not even a courtesy "we're sorry it's taking so long but we'll get back to you") and have lost hope I'll be able to successfully view the property I want.If this is what they're like to deal with trying to arrange a viewing for a property, I dread to think how inefficient they'd be to complete the purchase.

Salford Quays - Lies and so unhelpful

Simply wanted to view a 1-bed apartment in the Salford Quays area. Initially arranged well enough, then the appointment was cancelled by the agent (agent said the property was having work done) but when I emailed back he had in truth simply taken the day off and clearly cancelled his appointments to facilitate this. Re booked for a later date and time (chosen by the agent who subsequently wouldn't even be flexible enough to move this by 30 mins as it conflicted with another appointment I had. Then just before the 2nd appointment he advised me by email that someone else had already taken the property so the 2nd appointment never even happened. How someone else let the apartment when the workmen were apparently there preventing viewings remains a mystery?Finally to add insult to injury the same apartment is (a full week later now) still advertised on both Right Move and their own website as still being currently not let! God help the poor landlord depending on getting this rented out in the current market conditions waiting for these people to be bothered to actually show the place to someone...appalling!

Before moving with this agency

Before moving with this agency, we lived in 3 other flats. We never had problems with the other landlords, but this people is something out of this world. First of all I would like to clarify that they never played fair with us: in the visit to the house I told to the agent that I really wanted to rent the property, I even said to her to sign in the moment of the visit, but she told me that it was ok, that they were going to keep the property for me and that I could do the paperwork the next day. Next day, when I called her, she told me that the landlord accepted another offer. I think that was just a way to make me say that I was able to pay 6 months in a row. And so, the landlord accepted my offer.We moved to their property in February. When we moved there, the storage heaters were not working. At this point, I want to highlight that we moved with a 40 days baby. When you pay 6100 GBP before moving to a house, you expect a service. For 20 days, in February, with a baby, we lived without heaters. They just kept saying that maybe I didn´t know how to turn it on. I had to write them in a non friendly way to get a handyman in the house fixing it. And he had to fix it, because it was damaged.They came 2 or 3 times to visit the house to check everything was right. As in the contract, if the agent would have realized that something had to be repaired or cleaned, or misplaced, she had to aware us in order to do something about it.Well, in all the visits, she came to the house, checked it in 2 minutes, and said: everything is ok. We even got emails after each visit saying everything was ok.When we moved out, they sent us a email saying that the house needed a deep clean, 7 new bulbs (we stayed there for 10 months), and apart from the deep clean, they wanted to charge us for cleaning the door of the microwave (it just have a water vapour spoil in the door), for cleaning the door of a dishwasher that we never turned on, and they wanted to charge us for some mould and dump. Around 400 GBP for this. They even wanted to charge us to buy new curtains because of the damp , when curtains were made of a material 100% washable.The pictures of the original inventory had nothing to do with the inventory they did at the end of the rental. The first one, was a bit blurry, and the pictures of it were taken from a distance of everything. The pictures of the inventory they did when we moved out... What a crime. They did pictures with zoom of every single centimeter of the house, they moved furniture that weight around 50kg to do pictures of the floor below it. They even did a picture of the inside of a bin that it was not in the original inventory!So, they wanted to deduct 638GBP from our deposit, (we couldn´t get a VAT invoice, and the receipt they sent us was clearly suspicious: in the receipt one of the concepts was "Towel needs to be removed from kitchen floor 1 £4.00" Towel that we left there to protect the wooden floor from the water that could fall from the non-no-frost fridge). But I submitted a case through Mydeposit, and mydeposit has just given 340 GBP to them. If you are living in a Reeds Rains´s property, be aware. Keep this in mind. If you are not living in a Reeds Rains property, avoid them.The reviews with 5 stars are because before you move in their properties, a Barbie girl, ask you for the 5 stars review.

Personal service

Andrew the proprietor was always available to discuss our sale and took responsibility for viewings as time passed. He did his best to negotiate with potential buyers as per our agreed strategy.
