TrustpilotUnprofessional Amateur Standards
My family, booked time off and flew from London to view a rental property in Shotley Bridge with an appointment booked with these agents for this morning. Having arrived yesterday they phoned the agent to confirm the appointment only to be told that the agents had already accepted another client for rental and taken a deposit. Reed’s Rains didn’t communicate this to my family prior to them leaving London - indeed no effort was made to contact them - no answerphone message - nothing. As a result the family have incurred the cost of flights and accommodation in addition to the disappointment. These agents have made no offer to compensate my family and fobbed them off with a “sorry” I therefore suggest that if you are either a buyer or a seller, that you spread this experience to others as an example of Reed’s Raine’s standards in dealing with clients whether they are buyers or sellers. You may also wish to further consider whether to use them or not! Addendum Having had a response as seen here from Reed Rains, I responded giving my telephone number a week ago, and I am still waiting! It’s the same issue as the original complaint - lack of communication, no call, no answer phone message. Their consistent poor performance should be a worry to any potential customer! Be advised.

TrustpilotStolen money from me
Stolen money from me. Use this firm for letting of a property and they use the tenants deposit to protect there own cost. Not mine. Deductions made from my deposit without my authority. Also done exactly the same to a friend who they also let out there property. The property was turned in to drugs factory and scumbags withheld money which they had no rights to. I will never use them again.
Hi Karl,I'm sorry you have not been pleased with the service you've received from Reeds Rains. Customer service is of paramount importance to us. Please let us know which branch it is you had dealings with?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotDO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!!
DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!!!I was a tenant in one of their properties and the landlord wouldn't complete any maintenance within the property leaving me with several different issues. I called multiple times and nothing was ever done since I moved in till i moved out. TENANTS RIGHTS! You don't have any with this company may aswell live on the streets. Horrible customer service, Horrible people, Take advantage of your being young. Can't even complain as its so difficult to find a complaints procedure.
Hi Amy,Very sorry to read your review. We would like to look into this matter further for you. You will receive request for more information directly from Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotCriminal organisation
Criminal organisation. Also operate at "Your Move". As a landlord I received fraudulent invoices, months of failure to respond to calls and emails. They turns out they lost the keys and the tenancy agreement. End of contract 29th Sept. Still they haven't shared any paperwork and are still withholding funds in November. Lots of promises from David Tomlinson, not one fulfilled. Avoid.Update: now December, despite the response on here, no reach out or resolution.

TrustpilotTerrible property managers
I hir d reeds and rains to manage a dental property and oversee the letting. It has been a nightmare!The tenant severe the notice period whicj they missed for two months and only noticed when the rent stopped coming in. Now we are late at listing the property for rent by two months and loosing rental income..Moreover, R&R's compliance department has been chasing the tenant for defaulting even when he vacated the property after providing appropriate notice.It has been a terrible experience both for me the owner and the tenants

TrustpilotInhabitable
As soon as you’ve paid your deposit and started paying rent, you won’t get much communication from them. It is basically Impossible to get any maintenance work done - we were left with leaks, mould, lights not working, carpet ripping up, drafts and more. It takes almost a year to get someone to come and look at the problems, then nothing is done despite chasing every day. You ring and email daily but get no response.Glad to be out of there. We were once without a working boiler for over 2 weeks in December. It took me threatening legal action for them to follow some sort of protocol. Even then we were passed around different people who didn’t seem to know how to handle the problem. It gets to the point where it is just unsafe. And after all that, the landlord took the whole deposit to buy a new front door which was not like for like. The property had a lot of potential but it’s not well managed at all.

If I could review this estate agents lower I would. I initially signed for a property in 2021 with a partner - they messed us around for weeks at a time and made the moving in process as stressful as possible which lead to them finally releasing the keys after office hours despite having a moving van waiting all day. Immediately after moving in we had to make a formal complaint due to having to wait over 8 weeks for acknowledgement on maintenance issues. Not something you want straight after moving into a property? Not to mention later going 3 days without heating or hot water in the height of winter.They shut us up by offering to pay compensation of £150 for the inconvenience.However, later in the tenancy the other tenant moved out leaving me, a single young woman, living alone. The landlord, an older gentleman, turned up to the property without notice several times. On one occasion, I granted access to the property for him to review some damp problems, whereby he made multiple inappropriate comments about how my tattoos would look better without my clothes on, and that I was safe going upstairs alone with him. A few days after this, he knocked on the door at circa 7pm at night asking me to go for drinks with him.Being a woman living alone, knowing that this man is aware of this and is in a position of power, I didn't speak out until the end of the tenancy.This landlord then decided to claim over £700 of damages from myself. Luckily, we used the Zero Deposit Guarantee scheme and so they disputed this on my behalf and over £500 of this claim was rejected. Leaving me to pay just under £185 which was settled at the end of 2023.However, over a year after the end of the tenancy, Reeds Rains has just contacted me stating that I owe them £22. A reminder this was paid in 2023, the year that the tenancy ended.I would never ever recommend anybody to use this estate agents, it's a law suit waiting to happen and they clearly don't care about the safety of their tenants from landlords taking advantage of their position nor do they communicate with each other at all and prefer to harass previous tenants.
Hi Rebecca,We understand your frustration and disappointment with your experience. We take all feedback seriously and will use it to improve our services.

TrustpilotReeds rain - Manchester - Sofia Shabhaz
I recently purchased a property and had absolutely outstanding support from their mortgage advisor, Sofia Shabhaz. She advised me through the purchase of one property being sold through Reeds Rain. This unfortunately feel through, but as part of their service they provided free mortgage advice for the purchase of another property which wasn't sold through Reeds Rain. Sofia was not only available and easy to contact but a pleasure to deal with and highly professional.

TrustpilotReeds Rains at Chapel House. Worst agent in the North East
Reeds Rains at Chapel House. We recently bought a house and these people were unfortunately the acting agent. The vendor wasn't happy with them and neither were we. What a rip -off. Talk about giving the industry a bad name. Charged us £60 to carry out an I.D. check when we were stood in their office with our official documents. No, we can't take a copy, you have to pay a fee and use our app!! So we paid under duress as we wanted the property. The app simply asked us to upload the documents. As if that made any difference as opposed to them photocopying or scanning them themselves. During the next six to eight weeks of the process, we never had one single phone call from them giving us any update. When we rang them close to completing on the purchase we were told they would ring us. They didn't!! I have dealt with other agents as an investor and for private purchases. These people are pathetic and a disgrace to the industry. Don't touch them with a bargepole. Useless!!
Hi Dave,We understand your frustration with your recent experience. We value your feedback and will use it to improve our services. We strive to provide a positive experience for all our clients and are disappointed to hear that we fell short of your expectations.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotCarol is rude
Carol at the Ashton under lyne branch is lazy and rude. Couldn't really be bothered when viewing a house and was looking at me like I'm poor when I actually purchased outright with no mortgage. When I called the branch to put an offer on a house she took my offer then never called me back. I chased and she rudely laughed at me down the phone saying I wasn't in a position to purchase said house (how would she know this?) so I withdrew and bought another with home estate agents.
Hi there,Sorry to read your review, we take your feedback extremely seriously. We would like to look into this further for you but we require more information. You will receive a request from Trustpilot for more information.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotRent due, Is it that difficult?
Rent due, log into online portal. Says monthly. Bank transfer 12 months worth to them. Week later call from landlord, have you paid? Yes. Few minutes later, call from RR, do you want to set up another 12 months? Well first, it's gone to an automatic rolling contract, and secondly if you want to setup another 12 months then maybe it's a good idea to do it IN ADVANCE, thirdly because it's a monthly payment and you haven't sent any communication I ALREADY sent payment to you on the due date same as previous year. After last year where I had to chase myself for the rent, this year I decided to just let things sort themselves out this time round. This does however leave the question, what do reeds rains actually do for landlords/tenants? The landlord actually asked me to confirm with them that reeds rains have found the 7 grand I sent because RR probably won't do this. I'm not angry, these things happen more disappointed that this company seems to struggle with simple things. I did suggest that my landlord use another company as it's obvious that this one has issues.
