TrustpilotNever rent from ReedsRains!
Never rent from ReedsRains!Their fragmented departments make it impossible at times to get any fluidity to responses. Constantly late in terms of dealing with return of payments, they often mis-calculating amounts and show a complete lack of empathy with any issues raised. Their Hub is particularly bad at customer service and I feel they are only out to get as much money out of you as possible. They prefer you to over pay then claim reimbursement, however getting the money back is an absolute nightmare. At branch level they complete dismiss responsibility and tell you to contact the faceless Hub if you have issues. Both these elements of the business do not seem to be well coordinated at all. Maintenance issues are not dealt with promptly.They often shun responsibility and you end up chasing your tail trying to get an answer. Horrible company with terrible morals!I would honestly never take a house rented by them under any circumstance again.

TrustpilotReeds Rains Wrexham
Reeds Rains Wrexham. If I could give zero stars here I would. Currently renting a property via this Agent and are treated with a complete lack of courtesy and in fact disdain. Correspondence is completely un-professional , abrupt and to be frank rude.Reeds Rains, the rent gets paid on time every month, the property is kept in superb condition, by us, and has been cleaned (it was filthy) and improved by us, your second class citizen customer.Maybe some staff training could improve this but I would simply avoid if possible.

GoogleDee King from Reeds Rains was an absolute godsend at a very stressful and difficult time. She really did go over and above in making sure the sale happened as smoothly as possible. We are now in our beautiful new home and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend thank you!

TrustpilotEvery year poor services of maintenance!!!
Every year we have to leave a poor review to this maintenance company!!!! It takes literally days to come and contact you in regards of fixing your watter issues (some very old boiler broken)!!! And then it takes them some more additional days to have someone available to come and check, because their availability is not OK when it is for you too.... And if you tell them 3x times you are not available on the evening when they call you (after days have passed), they keep on pushing it as they would be literally deaf!!!! And we have this little process every year 2 or 3x times... Because the boiler is suuuuuuper baaaaad and oooooold!!!! Very poor quality and extremely old!!! The company suuuuper ruuude!!!! Other then that they could just put a proper boiler but hey hey... They do not want to....So very very upset about the quality of their services!!!!

TrustpilotTo determine our home's value for sale
To determine our home's value for sale, I completed a Zoopla form that forwarded our information to several local estate agents for valuation. Reeds Rains Cheadle branch contacted me by phone and gathered personal details and property information during a seven-minute call. They scheduled an appointment a few days later. However, I received a subsequent call indicating they could only value the property if it was listed immediately.In summary, they collected all necessary information but failed to achieve the primary objective, resulting in a waste of time and unprofessional behaviour on their part.

TrustpilotStunning sales service
When you entrust your house sale to Estate agents it’s usually a nervous , stressful time . With the Congleton branch of outstanding professional women the service is second to none . The gentleman in branch not the same level of service ......Every woman within the business I’ve spoken to throughout my unusual property, have guided me from start to finish ....Katie is my main point of contact and I can recommend Her as the perfect agent , without her by house would not have had the footfall re viewings ....

TrustpilotGreat team, personal yet professional
The team at the Stockton branch are just fantastic. Handled my sale professionally and efficiently, always keeping me up to date with the process. Andrea in particular was always helpful and friendly when giving me updates and happy to gently push the other side when necessary. Highly recommended.

TrustpilotReeds Rains - horrible experience and they will cheat you!
I dealt with Macclesfield branch as a landlord. They will be very nice to you and get you sign a contract with vague contract. They will make sure they don’t tell you important information. In my case I wanted to end fully managed contract as a landlord after tenancy agreement was ended and they asked me to pay full months rent as an exit fee. They have this clause in contract that you do have to pay exit fee but the whole contract is written as if it all applies for tenure of tenancy agreement, and that’s where they will cheat you!!! I had to pay money to come out of contract since property ombudsman is useless and takes month to reply. My advice is to make sure you ask them to write down very clearly about any exit clause but rather not use them because they cheat you through their terms

TrustpilotGreat Service
Reeds Rains have been amazing so far. I have dealt with Mark and Nicole so far both who are very friendly. The process has been super quick, my house went up for sale on their website on the Friday and an offer accepted on the Saturday. Just waiting for the legal side of things to happen now so fingers crossed for no issues!

TrustpilotSlow, misrepresentative and poor attitude
I’m in the process of trying to rent a flat through this company and the level of service hasn’t been great. The listing for a studio shows a 1-bed and gives a studio rent; the virtual tour is the same. I’ve asked repeatedly for an application form and they’re dragging their heels with providing this to me. I love the property and I want to move there as soon as I can but the way the company has acted so far is seriously making me want to look elsewhere. The attitudes of the letting negotiators and agents are also really poor considering I’m eligible, eager and highly interested.

TrustpilotMaria at Reeds Rains Rothwell
Maria has been brilliant in dealing with the sale of our property. In fact, she was the one who found us another purchaser when the first buyers pulled out. She has kept us regularly informed, chased everyone up repeatedly and has been helpful and cheery throughout. She obviously loves her job and it shows in the service she provides, so a huge THANK YOU Maria, and if you’re ever in Scarbados …

GoogleCan highly recommend Reeds Rains in Newcastle under Lyme for anyone wanting to sell a property (which in our case sold in less than 24 hours). Mike couldn’t have been more helpful from the initial enquiry to the completion and nothing was too much trouble for him. We were kept informed of viewings booked & had immediate feedback. Both Mike & Beth were more than happy to answer any queries we had and always returned our calls within minutes. Thank you all again.

Trustpilotselling during Covid…
I cannot speak highly enough about the excellent treatment I was given by Reeds Rains Evesham branch. Jeremy and Jack were so helpful during the whole experience, not only during this covid time but I also lost my partner and was left on my own. They helped me so much even before they reopened the office and sold my property to the first viewers and got me the full asking price. Wow how was that. All done in about five weeks. Moving in two weeks. Could not ask for more. Well done Evesham!

Matt at Reeds Rains Portishead was so supportive throughout our purchase which was a long, drawn out process. He was aware of how stressful the whole situation was for me and his thoughtfulness and kindness will not be forgotten. Thank you Matt x

TrustpilotPremium price but not premium service - Holderness Road, Hull branch
This estate agent's fees are nearly double that of other estate agents in Hull to sell a property and the service they provide is appalling. They wanted to charge me an additional £200 for photos of my property 3 weeks before Christmas. I refused and took photos of the property myself. After the sale was agreed I waited a month for an update on how the sale was progressing and in the end had to ask for it. In that time the Sales Associate dealing with my property had left the business and my buyer had gone on holiday without putting a mortgage in place. Reeds Rains never proactively informed me of either of these things. When I complained about their bad service the Sales Associate was rude told me 'it wasn't her job to give me updates on the sale' and that it was my solicitor's responsibility. The Branch Manager simply said 'he took everything on board' but never actively did anything to manage the situation. They also made several error on official documentation and never provided me with written details of all viewings and offers.They made the process difficult and stressful so I ended up contact my buyer directly so that I could complete the sale as Reeds Rains offered me no assistance. Reeds Rains are one of the most expensive estate agents in Hull and from the service I received the only way they helped was to post my property on the property marketplace websites - something most estate agents do to sell a property. If you are considering selling your property in the future please help yourself and use a local estate agents, not this national company. Their fees will be less and you will probably get a better service.

TrustpilotFantastic service
Alison and Donna at Reeds Rains, Bamber Bridge have been amazing from the start. firstly when I met them at my brother's house without the keys!! Right through to today, completion day. I hadn't sold/bought a property before and Alison has been brilliant talking me through the process and has been in touch the whole way through. Honestly I don't think she could have done any more. Huge recommendation from a property newbie!
