If there was a zero stars they'd get it! You never speak to the same person twice due to staff turnover and when you do, they do nothing about your complaint. We were left without heat or water for a week with a small child. Despite visits every 3 months where they stated everything was fine, at the end of the tenancy they delayed returning our deposit for 3 months and then stiffed us for the full amount as they said the house didn't match the original inventory. We were not given the chance to dispute this or find cheaper firms to do any work that was supposedly necessary. Absolute con artists! Complaints going to the ombudsman asap.Edit: Hilarious to see this joke of a company requested feedback about which office I had a problem with, when its the whole company. Enough with the pretend customer care on Trust Pilot! It's the treatment before hand that does the damage. What a joke.

Good luck if you have any issues in the house, they aren't coming

It's been months to get issues resolved in the house we are renting. Half of the time folks are on leave and no one picks up the maintenance requests. You have to keep emailing and calling to get things done. Very very poor service. If you have a choice to go with another property manager, please do. You will save yourselves a lot of headache and frustration.

Reeds Rains Macclesfield Branch are the role model for how other estate agents should operate. A breath of fresh air to deal with staff that are so “switched on” and excel in every part of the process. RR Macclesfield constantly deliver results especially with property that could be difficult to sell. I will always use the Macclesfield branch as they are quite clearly ahead of the game. I therefore award you five stars !

Alan Mills was excellent in dealing with myself and my mum when viewing a property for rent. Very engaging, enthusiastic and honest! He is a credit to Reeds Rains :)

Reeds rains Hull...

Reeds rains Hull...Initially registered interest in a property through website, due to no answer at estate agents, even though they were supposed to be open.Expected to be called once registering, however no call came? Rung the estate agents again and finally got through, lady explained I would have to go through my details again as they can't retrieve my information off website? So I gave details, to be told someone will ring me back. No one did. Rung estate agents again and finally booked a viewing. Took afternoon off work as I work away and went to view property. No representation from estate agents turned up and no access to property due to it been vacant. Strange when Estate agent stated it was in high demand and they had been viewings through the week? Ring estate agents who explained they had been a mistake in the diary and wouldn't be able to view today! Luckily the owner of the property now knows the mess around we've had off reeds rains. Quite simple, no one is bothered in that place. Even though they're a esrare agents, they don't seem interested in viewing or selling of properties. Stay away.

To answer Reeds Rains reply (unsigned)

To answer Reeds Rains reply (unsigned) It seems strange that when I notified Reeds Rains to release the deposit back to the tenant who had just vacated they sent me an email to advise me that their Eastwood Team would be in touch to help find a new Tenant. I called the Eastwood Office and spoke to the person who dealt with the lettings advising that I do not require their services, She is the one of the team that caused the problem. So it says a lot about so called "full restructure at our Eastwood and Chesterfield branches as a result whole new teams are now in place " It just shows that their management is out of touch and does not tell the whole truth.To sum up the service is poorH Orchard

Blackpool branch appalling

Blackpool branch ... Appalling service for landlords, constantly ripping you off and unable to manage properties! I would not recommend Reeds Rains to anyone. Can’t do routine visits, source quotes and ensure maintenance work is completed. Inform tenants that the delays are due to the landlord, yet the landlord is still waiting to understand the issue and achieve professional quotes.Rip you off for basic contract updates and maintenance quotes have % added, fees far higher than other agents, but they lock you in with high exit fees.

Complete waste of time, application process is unfair!

Wanted to rent a property at the Burnley branch. Was told by a member of staff to get down to the office after viewing and put in my application. Completed all my application on my side and paid a holding deposit, recieved a reciept. However, having not heard from the branch at all for roughly a week.. I had to chase this branch down to see where my process was up to, to be told that the landlord has decided to go with someone they know personally and that 'this happens all the time and that they had to let down 3 other people as well as me.' I know this isn't true because you only take one holding deposit per property as the application goes through for refrencing! I made a complaint through the branch and I feel like they did not even care at all!!!! The manager told me that they simply go with the landlords decision.. so their application process is not really fair at all! Complete waste of my time if the landlords end up picking and choosing their own tenants! Whats the point of the application process?! I understand that as a branch they must comply with the landlords wishes, however they also have a duty of care to potential customers that decide to use their estate agency!! Total waste of time!! Unprofessional and would never use this estate agency again and would not recommend!!

We had a viewing booked yesterday for a rental property - nobody showed up, or even called to let us know they had cancelled. We tried calling the office but got no answer. We never received a confirmation email for the viewing, so didn't even know the full street address, or the number of the agent who should have been showing us round. Two other people were also there for the same viewing at the same time (?). I emailed to complain and was just told "you must have been in the wrong place then."

Absolute shambles of a company

Absolute shambles of a company, don’t stick to their contractual obligations, forget to do things, don’t reply to emails. Overall very poor service. I’ve never written a Trustpilot review before but in this case I feel compelled to. Over £800 tenant deposit still outstanding with lame excuses from reeds rains that it’s effectively “not their problem”. Landlords do not use this company.

Rubbish

Obviously, I don't work for Reeds Rains so they won't be getting 5*. I found them AWFUL! The telephone staff are patronising little girls who delight in femsplaining what life is all about from behind their rented desks in rented offices to people who have run multimillion pound businesses since before they were born. Apart from the sale of personal data from which they profit by the sale (read the small print), they are very keen to get hold of your money and details before you recieve a product. I would advise against working with this company primarily because employs teenagers with one gcse between them to haggle for commission. Deal with a proper estate agent and grown ups.

Reeds Rains, Bury, Lancs

Reeds Rains, Bury, Lancs.We recently bought a property that was listed with Reeds Rains in Bury. We were cash buyers, required absolutely no funding, had sold our own property and were able to purchase a property very quickly. We saw a property advertised with Reeds Rains and called to arrange a viewing. They told us that they could only arrange viewings Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm. I asked for a reason and was told: 'that's the way it is'. As my hubby and I both work full-time, we couldn't view during those hours. Fortunately, I knew how to contact the vendor directly. The vendor knew of no reason for the restricted viewing hours. We arranged a viewing with the vendor and agreed a sale 4 days later. The complete process took just over 3 months, and from showing our ID to the agents, they never contacted us once, not even on the completion date to congratulate us. If you are looking for customer service and support throughout the sales process, then I would not recommend this branch of Reeds Rains. So much for today's buyer is tomorrow's seller...

Southsea Branch - A real find

As I live in Kent and was selling my late Mum's retirement flat from a considerable distance, I needed an agent I could really trust and rely on to keep beavering away in a slow and difficult market. I'm pleased to say that Reeds Rains delivered in every way. From the beginning, Dan and his exceptionally strong team stood out from the many agents I saw and proved to be a real find. I was kept regularly informed, the communication and advice at every stage was honest, straightforward and realistic and Dan's quiet but highly informed and experienced persistence paid off and achieved a sale exactly in line with the price range he had advised. I really grew to trust Dan's judgement and felt he was batting for me throughout, including going the extra mile to really research and understand the specific micro market attaching to my Mother's and nearby properties. I'm not easily impressed but felt Dan and, unusually, every member of his team I dealt with, to be superb. An outstanding service in every way which I would unhesitatingly recommend.

Dreadful experience with a crap company AVOID!!

Went to view a house being sold by Reeds Rains.The house was being sold at a set price, in fact it was listed as 'priced to sell' I viewed the house at 9am, really liked the house as it suited my needs. We were told there were more people coming to view. Infact we had only been in the house a few minutes when other buyers appeared at the door. We had a look around and decided we liked the house and were willing to pay the full price. I phoned up the agents office and told them I would pay the full price. I was then told they would take my "offer", but were still going to let others look around. They told me if anyone else made an offer they would let me know, basically changing the house sale now to "offers over" which I wasn't happy about. I heard nothing all day. The next day around 11.30am I got a call telling me there was another offer, and they asked me what was my highest "bid" I reluctantly bid another £2,000. They then said they would let me know later that day on the outcome. They never phoned back!! The next day I looked at the listing on Zoopla to see the house was now SOLD.... We then phoned them back to ask what was going on, they told "we will phone you back"...... again, no phone call. Later that day I had an email telling me my offer was unacceptable! Their customer service is awful. Even when I placed my initial offer, the snotty lady on the phone tried to pressure me into using their mortgage advisor, even when I told her I already had my own! Just a bad experience from start to finish, will avoid at all costs!Thanks for nothing Reeds Rains BLACKPOOL!!!If I could give zero stars I would

Terrible

Terrible. Hidden costs, terrible staff. Said they would release my bond 20 days ago after I left a rental and still haven’t given me my £850 they owe.Had to pay £150 to vacate the property and £120 each time I renewed. Not to mention they charged the tenant before me his bond for work they did not complete and then tried to sting me for the same things. They are screwing people for money. Do not use at all costs. I also sold a house unfortunately with them and they told me it would be cheaper to go with the fixed fee but a percentage would have been much cheaper.
