GoogleA good and a reliable service. Reefs and rains were really prompt in the beginning of the application process and really welcoming , but lagged during the middle stages. Had to call them up internationally, on a lot of occasions in order to get things sorted out, which I think could be improved side, but otherwise they take time but get the work done. Special thanks to Charlotte & Ryan.

GoogleWhere do I start... Moving into an expensive furnished apartment - what could go wrong? Turns out - almost everything. Every other item needs to be replaced (desks, desk chairs, heaters not working, washing machine not usable - sink plumbing wrong so cannot use sink, fridge shelves broken, and more..
After spending an arm and a leg - and then having to wait weeks to use your kitchen sink and wash your clothes - you'd expect something other than an apology right?...
I do.
In times like this - a pandemic and working from home - this is simply shameful. Whether it is the landlords fault or the estate agents, somebody needs to take responsibility and win me back as a customer.

Hi Ronnie, firstly I'm sorry you have felt the need to write a negative review. From what I can see you moved into the apartment last week, on the 28th October and reported maintenance issues on that day and then further issues on the 29th and 30th. Your property manager is working hard liaising with both the landlord and various contractors to get these issues resolved as soon as possible and has been doing this since you first reported the issues. If you have any specific concerns then please do email our lettings manager directly at kirsty.mcdonald@reedsrains.co.uk and she can investigate further. Kind Regards Greg Davies, Senior Branch Manager.

GoogleNasty company. I will tell all my family and friends to avoid this racist company. Came all the way from Leeds to view the house, only to be told it has been rented. Why wasn’t I told it has been rented before I came. Once I came the agent that was to show me around looked shocked, she didn’t know I am black, and she refused to answer any questions I put to her saying her department was in the sales not letting. Such a nasty woman. The company is racist, black people please avoid at all cost. Such a waste of my time and money!

Hi Fofo,
I am so sorry if you feel anyone from our company has acted in a racist way. I’ve spoken to all members of the team here in Manchester and no one can remember the incident (and I’m sure they would). In addition I can’t find your name on either our sales or lettings database. I’m incredibly keen to investigate this matter fully so please can you contact me on greg.davies@reedsrains.co.uk or 0161 236 9088 and provide me some more details, specifically the property address, the date and time of the incident and any other details which may help. We operate a fully inclusive business and would never discriminate against anyone. I really hope you will contact me so I can try to assist further.
Kind Regards, Greg Davies, Senior Branch Manager.

GoogleFrom the start of selling our property it has been very professional,the original valuation was right for market and the premium photos were very good quality and looked great .this attracted a large amount of viewings in the first 10 days ; a range of offers and my property on day 10 was sold subject to contract , now it has progressed to liaising with solicitors and that is going very smoothly too ,all the staff we have met have been very friendly professional and efficient so far in my sale progress , would highly recommend ++++=

GoogleDisgusted by the way they managed the property we renting of them we pay 1340 a month and had problems with one of the bathrooms and the fan over the oven for over a 6 months and now the washing machine has been out of order for over 2 months. They hardly get back to us regarding these issues we have sent endless emails and rang 100s times. We have cancelled the direct debit as last solution to get them to fix the washing machine and they have called us 3 times anx send 3 letters within 2 weeks and yet all what they want is money and no mention of our problems. Stay away from this awful state agent.

GoogleAs a property sourcing agent I spend a lot of time on the phone to estate agents. Some translations you might find helpful;
'I'll get someone to call you back' - 'You will never hear from us again'
'Let me pass over your message' - I have already forgotten your message'
''Good morning sir, how can I help you?' - 'How can I use you to make money today sir'
Reeds rains are one of the worst for this kind of thing. They are THE worst for being able to get through to someone to book a viewing. Just awful. Horrible. Shame no-one reads these reviews really.

GooglePoor communication - Had a viewing arranged, when we arrive it turns out it's a group viewing with many others; at no point was this mentioned. The agent was 10 minutes late, no update or message to let us know they're on their way. When we called the office we are told that the agent was running late from their last viewing, nice of you to keep us informed! Meanwhile there is around 10 people stood outside in the baking hot sun, I will not be using the agency or recommending the service to others.

Dylan. I am a little confused as the viewing was advertised as an open day? This is where we allow the viewings to go ahead at the first point and it is advertised as such? - Also, we were on time for the open day so unsure as to why you were left outside for 10 minutes? If you contact the office and speak to me, I would be happy to discuss this matter with you. Kind regards. Glynn

GoogleVery stressful experience throughout. Initially, the agent was over 15 mins late for the viewing, with no contact made with us, when we called the office we were informed he was on his way. He then walked straight past us with another client, seemingly unaware we were waiting at all. After finally viewing the flat we liked it and put in an offer. We did not hear back the next day so called to check. We were told that they were waiting for the landlord to confirm - this is fair enough however this went on for a week, when we called the company said the agent was busy and he would call us back, he never did, we found out by looking in right move that it had been let to someone else. We still

I am sorry you were unsuccessful on the apartment bid, it is difficult as a tenant over summer when demand outstrips supply. Once someone pays the application fee, then it closes the marketing and I am sorry you found out on the website rather than a call. If you let me know who you were dealing with, I can look into that for you. Thanks, Glynn
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
