GoogleReeds Rains made the purchase of a flat extremely straight forward. In what is obviously a fairly daunting process, Fraser was easy to deal with from the first viewing of the flat, and helpful whenever I had queries or problems during the process. Even when Fraser was off, there were other members of staff who were able to jump straight in to assist seamlessly. No issues whatsoever.

Mark & Emma in the Wilmslow office did a phenomenal job. From the start they followed my requirements to the letter. I was selling only so did not want to be in a long line. Within tel days and only the second viewing it was sold. They were brilliant with me, the buyers and the lawyers, the whole things was so easy. Completed in three and a half months.

Secondly, they were really kind and easy to work with throughout the whole process.A big thank you to you both again!!! I’d definitely recommend the Penwortham branch to everyone!

TrustpilotNot the best experience with them
Recently booked a house viewing with them, never received any confirmation of the viewing and they never sent me the full address so I had to call up on the day to get the details and to confirm. Once we arrived the agent didn’t introduce himself at all, and just didn’t seem like he wanted to be there, he sounded very bored. He didn’t know any information about the property and couldn’t answer any questions that we had. He didn’t sell it at all, I’d be fuming if he was selling my home! Wouldn’t want to use them again
Hello Zoe - We are very sorry to read about your experience. Cold you please let me know which branch it was you had booked the viewing with?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotThe estate agent
The estate agent, Steve was brilliant so down to earth and gave me honest feedback which I can use. I felt comfortable letting him into my house and that I could trust him. I will only use Reeds Rains when I sell or rent as can tell they are professionals that I can trust. He was on time for the appointments and very approachable.

TrustpilotReeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this…
Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this must be the best estate agent in Nottinghamshire.Nothing was too much trouble for them.Led by their wonderful manager Matt all of his staff were helpful,friendly,polite and efficient. Due to their efficiency my mum’s property was sold on the first day as they had notified a couple who came to view it at once and snapped it up as realistically priced(£20,000 more than another estate agent who had also priced it).They dealt with everyone of my queries in their usual quick and meticulous manner.The manager Matt led by example and along this journey offered his help every step of the way and reiterated this every time I phoned or called into the office.This estate agent was recommended by a friend of mine and I’m so glad I went with them as they made what could be a very stressful experience into a very pleasant one. I cannot sing their praises highly enough and cannot understand the bad reviews given to them as I am recommending them to all my friends who want to sell their property.
Hello Debra - Thank you so much for taking the time to write a great review. We are always happy to hear that Matt the team at Eastwood gave a great efficient selling service. We wish you the best of luck!Many thanks,Reeds Rains

Trustpilot“It’s not our problem”
We live in a rented house and the filter on the oven was very loose when we moved in. When we moved we emailed them and they said that they could sort it out. Since then it has completely fallen off. We have been emailing reeds rains for weeks on end now and only just got a reply, saying that “it’s not their problem anymore”. We phoned them up and they hung up. Thanks reeds rains, you’ve got something really special.
Hello Jennifer - We are very sorry to hear about this situation. It is not the level of service we aim to provide. Would you be able to let me know which branch it was you had dealings with?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

It's been 3 days now since I rang the holderness road, Hull branch to arrange a viewing on 2 properties, the young girl on the phone I spoke to was pleasant, said she'd pass it on to the sales team who have not bothered ringing me back, she did mention 1 property was under offer but I should still be able to view it, especially if I put in a higher bid, I've got a good mind to go see the owners and let them know that this company is stopping or just can't be bothered to contact me and arrange a viewing.
Hello Matthew - We are very sorry to hear about your experience, this is not the level of service we expect. We will chase this up with the branch and get them to contact you.Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotGurdit was great!
Gurdit in the cheadle branch was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He took me on my initial visit of a property and it was a fresh of breath air as he took a genuine interest in myself, work life and current situation. I would recommend Gurdit to anyone and he is an asset to Reeds Rains!

TrustpilotA TOTAL SHAMBLES.
A TOTAL SHAMBLES.Would award 0 stars if I could.Handed the keys back to our property 2 weeks ago today, the inspection (which cost £120) took place 2 days later. The inspection showed each room in the house to be in "good condition" "good domestic clean" and "no maintenance required".Superb, the deposit should be sent back within a few days I thought, as has been the case with all other estate agents I have used previously.Not this time though. Despite the report showing the house to be clean, I was informed a week later that the landlord was looking to deduct some cleaning charges which came as a huge surprise given the reports of the inspection and also our own photos which we took before leaving, showing the property to be in great condition. Over 30 calls/e-mails ignored, and still now 14 days later the hopeless staff in the Reeds Rains call centre are unable to advise an amount that the landlord is looking to deduct. This company is great when setting up and taking your money but beyond a joke when it comes to giving your deposit back. Staff in the branch not interested in helping, instead palming you off to the call centre who are totally uninterested and quite frankly, totally useless.Avoid at all costs - an utter shambles who are only interested in taking your money.Unsurprisingly when I shared my experience on social media, there were several more comments from people who had also been ripped off when trying to claim their deposit back.Bigger con artists you will struggle to find.
Hello Andy - We are very sorry to hear about this situation. Could you please let me know which branch you have been dealing with? Kind regards,Reeds Rains

Donna has been amazing - explained everything, been honest and caring and enthusiastic. My property had an offer in 3 days and has got 20k more than the asking price. Donna’s knowledge pitched it just right. Thank you to Rebecca for doing all the viewings - great team - highly recommend.

Just finished renting a property in widnes. Accesser came out and rated cleanliness of house good, which was rating when we took property over. They now trying to charge us for full carpet clean of house. These are the worst I've ever come across in all my years of renting. Also had report for 5 days before they released it as you only have 9 days to put a compliant in.they are the biggest crooks when it comes to trying to get your deposit back. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Hello Steve - We are very sorry to hear about your situation. We would like to get to the bottom of this. Are you able to tell me which branch you have been dealing with?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

Trustpilotmoved to write my first review
I have never written a review about a company before but feel moved to write one now - this is an appalling company. I have had nothing but bad experiences from day 1 with Reeds Rains. They are at present engaged in a last minute cash grab from existing customers for ‘renewal fees’, a practice outlawed for new customers since June this year, and for existing customers from May 2020. It has been outlawed (along with guarantor feed) because it is an unfair and unnecessary fee - If the agency approaches you with this fee DO NOT AGREE TO PAY - if they insist, ask to go on to a rolling (periodical) contract.Expect three monthly flat inspections with the letter of notice being sent out on a Friday night for an inspection midweek the following week. Every time. This is NEVER convenient. I like where I live, it’s conveniently located and reasonably priced and the ONLY reason I am considering moving is to get away from Reeds Rains. In short once you’ve signed a lease with Reeds Rains expect a company that couldn’t care less about you as a tenant.
Hello David - We're very sorry to hear about your experience, is it possible to tell me which branch you are currently dealing with?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotTerrible company
Terrible company. I rented a property with them and had a nightmare getting my deposit back. Customer service on the phone were extremely poor, saying they would call back or email back and never doing so. One advisor lied and said they didn’t have the facilities to forward an email they had apparently sent to me - an obvious attempt to hide the fact the original email was never sent. Took 3 months of chasing to get a figure back for deposit deductions, and when it came the quote had no breakdown just a seemingly random figure was sent with one week left to dispute it. Deductions included things not noted on the end of tenancy report, and when asked they could not produce photos of so-called ‘damage’. They gave me the wrong deadline date to dispute meaning I missed the deadline. Luckily the deposit protection company extended the deadline for me and they resolved the dispute by awarding me almost double the amount of deposit that Reeds Rains we’re going to give me.I also completed a subject access request, to which the response was ‘are you sure as this can take a month?’ It is my right as a customer to have access to my data, it is not appropriate to ask if I am sure I want this information. When my SAR was completed it did not include all my information. It only includes emails and letters that I already have, I wanted a full audit trail of notes and conversations between me and the company. I complained to the appropriate channel almost two months ago and have heard nothing back. In my opinion Reeds Rains are an unprofessional company who abuse their position to keep money from their customers. I would never recommend.

TrustpilotThey don't want your business, just your money!
Apparently, this company cant "sanction" the use of third parties to complete Inventories / Check Outs etc.As an Inventory clerk of 11 years and a Landlord for 4, I know the importance of having a third party complete these inspections rather than an under qualified (in regards to completing inventory reports) letting agent, with limited experience and a bias opinion.I pay for 3 fully managed properties and the reply I got when asking them Reeds Rains to out source my inventories so that they were completed by a fully qualified clerk who I have used for more than 10 years, was that I should take my business else where!AstonishingTo add a little more; I only asked for this to be done as the quality of report I was receiving was horrific.
Hello Dex - We are very sorry to hear about your situation, would you be able to tell me which branch you are dealing with so I can feed this back to them?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotReeds reins carrickfergus .
Reeds reins carrickfergus .. moving house is supposed to be a hugely exciting time. Perhaps if you were the seller I on the other hand was merely the buyer and was digusted by the treatment received from Debbie. Started off with the fake high pitched chat and quickly within a week her tone and manner were disgusting to the point i was very close to pulling out of a sale. The lies and lack of information were absolutely shocking. Lying to the vendor about providing supporting documents to my solicitor Fortunately i had been in direct contact with the vendor and was able to relay correct information and advise that lack of information for my solicitor was due to reeds reins incompetency namely debbie. While i was harrssed by her almost weekly then daily whilst she tried her best to talk down to me and over me in her rude dismissive tone. Even when I called into the estate agents to tell her to stop the constant calls and harassment. Truly Spoilt what should have been a happy experience for me. Never again will i deal with them or recommend them.
Hello Paula - We are sorry to read your review. This has been fed back to the branch. Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotReeds Rains Manchester saved the day!
Reeds Rains Manchester have an outstanding customer service/sales/support team, I could not be any happier with the level of support and correspondence I received. Due to a series of unexpected and unfortunate events caused by a third party, I was placed in a position from which, had it not been for the exceptional help of Reeds, and in particular, Ryan Wood, I would have been homeless on the 1st September! I highly recommend using Reeds Rains if you're looking for not only an excellent selection of properties in the city, but a team of estate agents willing to go above and beyond to make the move as painless and hassle free as possible.
Hello - Thank you so much for taking the time to write an excellent review, if you're able to tell us which branch you dealt with we will pass on the kind words to Ryan.Many thanks,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotReed Rains needs to be reported ASAP!!
Just called hoping to arrange a viewing on Kingston road which i enquired about 2 weeks ago. I called today hoping to arrange a viewing as I was waiting for them to get back to me with arranging a appointment which then I found out they had a open house a day before and did not bother calling me as i was told I'll be put down for a viewing. The agent was really out of line and told me the property is no longer available and we will contact you once we've arranged viewings and hung up on me. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! Honestly been arranging viewings with these lot for weeks now but never have luck with them its a shame because this was actually a recommendation from a friend who sold through them!!!! Purple Bricks have actually provided a better service and there is no agent showing us around and yet they call us to update us with upcoming properties. Poor attitude with dead faces in the office with no intentions to help selling a house.... Absolute JOKE !!!
Hi there - could you let me know which branch this was with so I can follow up with them? Many thanks

Angelos couldn't have done more to support & guide me through the process of buying my flat. He always made himself available for last-minute viewings & was excellent helping me sort out any issues that came up. I have friends who have used Reeds Rain & they have all had a similar experience. Highly recommend.

TrustpilotIf your a landlord stay away
Firstly please do not use Reeds and Rains!. I am a landlord. Every month my rent is not in my account until at least 10 days after the payment date by the tenant on the first of each month. Why? so RR can gain interest. Last month monies for a deposit scheme where taken x 3 amounts all at once? Why? who knows I have contacted three different people. No response. I have left a message via the landlord portal. No response. Also i pay a management fee for property inspection reports. How many have I had in the last year? yep zero. I am going to visit the branch tomorrow. Please do not be taken in by this company. And I am guessing i will receive no response from this. Shocking parasitesALSO YOU HAVE TO CONTACT ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT YOURSELF! See below Thank you for your email received on 7 August 2019. I will log this as an official complaint for you. May I suggest for you to contact the accounts team who will be the ones who can explain anything to do with payments going in and out of your account. Their number is 01257 230 600 option 3 Yours sincerelyInna PetkovaCustomer relations supervisorSO AS A CUSTOMER WHO PAYS A MANAGMENT FEE YOU DO THE WORK FOLKS!! GOOD LUCK!! shocking
