Sometimes luck plays a huge part in a successful outcome. We don't deny that Reeds Rains Central Manchester struck gold with their one and only viewing who bought our house - a cash buyer who offered within 2 weeks of listing. We were very happy not to have endless viewings or to hang about to sell. But I'm not sure how Reeds Rains perform if the stars are not aligned . . On our side we are very experienced buyers/sellers so really managed the listing process, pricing, prep for photos efficiently . . we had a great solicitor who managed the process proactively and extremely professionally. . we knew how it all worked, were on the ball, organised, proactive . . Reeds Rains on the other hand were so unimpressive. Not proactive, not well informed, not infused with a sense of urgency. We dealt with 4 different people and their own comms and admin are very poor. For example the Sales Progressor was frustratingly non communicative and not proactive. Also management refused to engage or invest any further time with us beyond initial onboarding as a client. We paid over x4 as much for Reeds Rains than our solicitor but the division of labour was absolutely the opposite. Beware if you are not experienced in the Greater Manchester (or any other) property market, this agency is resting on its laurels, is reactive, sluggish and not accepting of constructive feedback.

Great service from Kate and the team at Chapel House. They did a fantastic job marketing the property and did lots of accompanied viewings for us.

Silas Rains at the Wrexham branch.

Dealt with Silas Rains at the Wrexham branch on 3 occasions. Sold our house within 2 weeks, 7 years ago, my parents house 5 years and my sister's last week. The latter was non standard build, difficult to sell really requiring cash buyer.

We have sold the house belonging to my wife's stepfather who is now in a care home as we have power of attorney.We knew it would be stressful to sell but reeds Raine's Pontefract office have been very helpful and professional.

Highly recommend

I used Reeds Rains initially to manage a rental and then to sell the property. I highly recommend them. They are professional but welcoming, nothing is ever too much. They always kept me in the loop, even during a difficult sale, going out of there way to keep me up to date with everything. I’d like to thank Adele in particular.

As a long time landlords with the newland Avenue office, we were confident when choosing Steve, Tony and their team to take care of our own house sale …… superb communication, attention to detail proved successful when arranging the many viewings in a very short space of time which I’m confident will produce a buyer for our lovely home very soon THANKYOU

Horrendous!

The response to my initial review (posted on 28th November, below) is as unsatisfactory as the service. Whatever the company claim now, I can evidence all of the concerns I listed. Further, almost three weeks after the moving date, problems persist. The fridge and freezer were not working and the tenant lost £130 of food. He is still without a working oven and has no access to the electric meter to obtain an initial reading. The latter is especially concerning because the hot water tank heats up constantly and then drains itself: imagine how much this is costing! Various items are broken (door handles, toilet seat) and there is black mould around the windows, very unhealthy. The tenant is facing Christmas with a microwave meal. How unacceptable is this! Happy Christmas, ReedsRains., , , , , -Dealing with this company has been a nightmare, for myself and the tenant for whom I acted as guarantor. Annabel Gilbey was the nominated negotiator but emails and phone calls to her went unanswered. On one occasion, the tenant drove several hundred miles for a viewing, leaving home at 5am but no-one turned up. A phone call would have been helpful. Sending a text when the negotiator knew he was travelling was not. We were sent repeated requests for information, money and urgent legal confirmations - none of which were necessary had the negotiatior or her colleagues acted professionally. The Branch Manager Justin Barton must bear the greatest responsibility for this. My concerns can be evidenced if this is necessary.

Unprofessional and unhelpful staff

Unprofessional and unhelpful staff. We loved the property we inquired about, but the listing was not transparent hence why I think such a beauty property is still not rented yet and has even been reduced. There is no parking and it is unfurnished, though the listing will not state this. When called to ask, two agents could not point out to the written bit where it says it is unfurnished or furnished, with one condescending agent hanging up the phone.

salford quays barance were the worst letting agents we have been unfortunate enough to have dealings with, if you can avoid them I suggest that you do. the move in inventory was a work of fiction with not a single fault or damage mentioned and the flat was filthy with numerous items of damage and disrepair that they are now trying to claim from us after moving out and leaving the place in better condition that we moved in Jessica was so tardy at arranging repairs that we gave up. never again would we deal with these people

Lewis the agent was early to the viewing appointment and gave me time to wander throughout. He called when he said he would, and was very helpful throughout. As you can imagine the process can be quite nail biting but his quick responses and helpful manner made buying stress free. I would definitely recommend your service to anyone.

Don’t touch with a barge pole!!

Truly awful experience…so unprofessional. Total lack of communication. On completion day, went to drop keys in and office was all locked up! We had been in a few days before to make sure of arrangements and were told there would be someone in their office at all times on completion day. Eventually Luke arrived - he had been for lunch, but there was no-one to cover…unbelievable on a Friday, the most popular day of the week for moving house. Whoever is the manager in Chester needs to realise that we are paying good money for a service, when it shouldn’t be unreasonable to expect someone to actually be on the premises to receive keys from their customers. It gets worse…our buyer went later to collect the keys and the shop was locked up again! It’s 5:30pm now and they still haven’t been able to get the keys. No phone calls to either ourselves or our buyers before hand to explain what was going on - we had to do all the chasing to find out why we were being let down. Begs the question ‘what are we paying for?’ Please avoid this Estate Agent.

Professional and on my side as seller

More personal about the sale if our house. Understood our needs about asking price. Helped to remarket the property and I have always felt they are on my side as the seller not on the side of the buyer. Always kept informed of progress and always available at the end of the phone staff very polite and helpful.

The Reeds Rains team have been brilliant, it may have been a long journey but they have been so helpful throughout the process. Grace is an angel, she is so lovely and have gone above and beyond to reassure us and help with the sale of our house and the buying of our forever home! Definitely recommend.

Highly recommended

From the moment we put our property on the market, the staff at Reeds Rains were very helpful and guided us through the whole procedure until completion. In particular we would like to thank Matthew Candow who was always willing to solve any issues we raised. We cannot thank them enough for making what potentially is a stressful situation very easy and I recommend them without reservation. Rosemarie & Mike James

Absolutely diabolical service from…

Absolutely diabolical service from inept, defensive staff. There seems to be a high turnover of staff in the Hebden Bridge branch, with poor handovers and often the left hand not knowing what the right is doing. They contradict information given between solicitors, and vendors, cause undue stress and delays, go back on the comments they make when challenged, and have taken over 15 months to sell a house that has had a buyer waiting to complete since the first offer.I would strongly recommend that if you want to efficiently buy or sell a property that you look elsewhere. This service has been SO poor that I have advised a friend to not even consider buying the house they are currently interested in as it is only being advertised by Reeds Reins Hebden Bridge and I would not wish this service on anyone else. Edit in respone to Reeds Reins Reply:Whoops- just to evidence their incompetence they don't even seem to know the house completed and I moved in 10 days ago! Way to tell on yourself 😅Yes, my house sale fell through because of delays with your sale, thats precisely my point. I had a cash buying landlady waiting to go and when I was still waiting on basic paperwork and relying on mixed messages from yourselves 7 months in she understandbly bailed. I then cancelled my second sale to a cash buying company which I rushed through in order to save the chain having received alot of pressure to rush once you told me you seller was ready, only then to be told by a different staff member they were 'no where near ready', of course I'm not going to take £30k less than I need to if you had further delays. Having met the branch manager the day I completed, as he had to drop my keys here at the end of office hours as no one called to confirm they had them as I was informed they would, knowing I was moving from another city, I can see why there is such a high turn over of apathetic seemingly clueless office staff, if he is at the helm,my removal man couldn't have summed it up better when he described him as the C word. (Side note if you value safety just be aware he also handed me the keys without even asking my name let alone asking to see ID.)Terrible terrible service, steer well clear at all costs.Positive shout out to Emily who does the weekend vieweings, the only competent person there.

Very good experience overall. People were always very helpful and made us feel valued. On occasion we had to tidy up/hoover, turn-off lights, reset blinds, etc. after viewings which was very frustrating.

Not a bad experience overall.

Property well presented when advertised. Lots of viewings organised. Had two failed offers, for genuine reasons, but final and successful offer pushed through relatively quickly. Thanks to staff, particularly Andrea, Abbie and Sue, keeping us well informed at all times. Finally I think RR commissions compare well to competition.

My experience

Before i moved in i was told the property was all electric,it is run by a Gas boiler I was without heat in very cold weather.At the very least it would be ideal if I would have been given a folder of useful information re how to use the heating controls, how to get into the metre cupboard, how to use the security intercom to let visitors in etc... I am still struggling with the gas as I dont have an account number. Ive found the whole experience very stressful
