TrustpilotHouse sale
A huge thank you to Reeds Rains staff in Sale who dealt with the sale of my late mum’s house. In particular, Mandy, Rebecca, Pasquale and Alex could not have been more efficient, professional and very helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them and as a complete novice in this field, their help and expertise was hugely appreciated. Thank you all.

TrustpilotSelling a rental property
The business responded to my request to sell my rental property quickly and professionally. They explained timings with regards to tenants contracts and liaised with the tenant to accommodate viewings and a quick sale (pending contracts etc). I am very pleased with the way in which the sale has been handled to date and would recommend them to anyone.

TrustpilotDonna Hargreaves terrible attitude
The Preston branch has a branch manager named Donna Hargreaves who is horrendously unprofessional and appears to have no emotional control for some who claims to have 33 years of customer facing experience as an estate agent. She was told to CC secondary buyer in emails after her oversight and advised us not to tell her how to act.

TrustpilotTerrible letting agent always chasing…
Terrible letting agent always chasing them and never doing jobs which they were asked to arrange. Gave me bad advise and put terrible tenants in resulting in wreaking my property. I would not monitor the tenant for.me. I'd not recommend this company at all.

Thankyou so much Alison,Donna and the Reeds Rains team at my local branch for a 1st class job selling my home.A buyer was found within 2 days and the purchase price was much more than i had expected.Nothing was too much trouble for them,always saying "if you need anything or want help filling out forms just get in touch" definately 5 stars from me.Thanks again for a brilliant job done.

TrustpilotDreadful, service for landlord and tenant
I chose Reeds Rains to manage my rental property in Macclesfield to reduce the time it was taking to manage it myself. It was the worst decision I could have made. Their 'award winning' out-sourced service meant I never spoke to the same person twice. The customer facing team based hundreds of miles way in Southampton had no idea about the local area and no relationships in place with the maintenance people on the ground or the tenants. One piece of maintenance work took over 6months to resolve. The service was poor from start to finish. My advice would be to find a local independent who actually cares about their landlords and tenants. Avoid Reeds Rains at all costs. Dreadful!!

TrustpilotA horrible organisation.
A horrible organisation that is so disjointed it’s a joke. Very rude and their main aim seems to be ‘how can we get more money out of people by doing no work’. People at the branch are okay but the people in the many different disjointed departments speak to you in such an awful way. And if you try and query a charge their go to statement is ‘it’s just the system’ with no explanation behind it. Or if you try and get something fixed in your rented house they’ll just ignore it. I wouldn’t touch this company with a barge pole again.

TrustpilotGiving this company 1 star is only due…
Giving this company 1 star is only due to not being able to give 0. Absolutely disgusting rip off company. My son and his partner needed to give early termination of a tenancy due to the property being unsuitable due to change in circumstances. The landlord refused unless they paid reeds rains £720 which were apparently their fees for getting a new tenant. They did not take new photos, they basically just shoved it on their website again and have refused or made excuses in giving a breakdown of what these ludicrous fees are for. Luckily a new tenant was found straight away but God help them cause the landlord refuses to put anything right and reeds rains fob you off saying its not their responsibility & the new tenants couldn't even see inside the property due to Reed rains messing up with the keys. Even to the end they sent a threatening email that if the money wasn't paid by the end of the 4th day after they provided the bank details they would put a stop on the contract termination. Will be continuing to fight these fees & taking up the matter with the property ombudsman as tried their own complaint procedure and got as far as the area manager who was just as useless as the manager at the branch at giving pathetic excuses for these fees.

TrustpilotLandlords Stay Away
Landlords stay away from this company. They have literally ruined a furnished flat I allowed them to manage. The flat was fully furnished and as each tenant left, the furniture left with them either damaged or left outside in the rain. No checking of the property, rent is always late, but very quick to pocket fees. Communication is non existent unless they want money. It’s an ongoing joke in my family when you call Reed Rains and they say they are going to call you back.

Trustpilotworse letting agent possible for landlord
worse letting agent possible for a landlord. Same thing keep passing on to different person from property management and the next person does not know what is happening and keeps repeating the same thing.
I’m so sorry you have had a bad experience with us. We aim to provide satisfactory service at all times. If you would like to provide more information regarding your experience with us please email marketing@reedsrains.co.uk and we will be able to look into this matter further. Kind Regards

TrustpilotLeasehold brushed under carpet
Agreed a sale on a property that was leasehold. When I asked for details about the lease prior to sale I was told that solicitors deal with this but its about £100 a year. Fast forward 2 months into the sale and it turns out annual lease is so high my mortgage would be refused. When I told this to the estate agent and that we were pulling out of the sale I was met with a rude and abrupt response. I know they lost a sale, but if they were more transparent from the get go it wouldn't have happened (nor would it have cost me £800 in solicitor and servery fees). When we started to search for another house I avoided any Reeds Rains properties and I will never use their services again.

TrustpilotDo not rent a property at Reeds Rains - appalling!
Do not rent a property through Reeds Rains. I rented a property for 6.5 years through WIDNES branch the initial experience was good. After vacating on 7th July I have still NOT received my deposit back of £1250. After chasing constantly for some assistance/update/support visited the branch nothing to do with them now. Laura Wilson Property Manager her words "I do apologise for the delay, however I can not release the deposit without the landlords consent. We are chasing this and will update you shortly". No update I've chased yet again. Absolutely disgusting. What's the point of renting through Reeds Rains as an agency if the landlord has all the control might aswell rent direct for all the good they've been!

TrustpilotFriendly staff but no reply
We viewed a property through Reeds Rains recently, and the lady present at the viewing was very friendly!However, we never got a reply about the landlord's decision. It is just disappointing because we had to travel a long distance to see the property.Portishead branch.
