Very unhappy..

Very unhappy... They just never fixed anything... No quality, not that there is no high quality... No quality is the term to be used... Houses left in dump, mold... Unheated... Poor systems... And lickeage in the roofs.... They do not have to fix these over years... Their national economic strategy... Ahahaaaaaaa... Leaving country for such... Sorry... In USA I heard the economy is better... My family doesn't need such! Your welcome!

APPALLING SERVICE!

If I could have given this Company no stars I would have done so.Made an offer on a property several weeks ago and then made several calls to find out what was the outcome as no one came back to me. Initially blamed me for not providing proof of mortgage acceptance despite the fact I had the majority of funds in cash and informed the Agent that if there were to be a problem, a family member would cover the shortfall, so a cash buyer in every sense of the word. Also, I previously worked in a local Estate Agent and it is not normal for people to make offers against properties they can’t afford. Eventually told there were several family members involved and the situation was ‘complicated’. Made a final call into the offices on the 22nd to find out if there was any progress to be told matters were still ongoing.Last week I was sent an email from RR with a link for another property, the link was broken so I went onto their website to search for the property. Whilst scrolling through, how shocked was I to see ‘sale agreed’ against the property on which I made the offer. I received no notification either verbally or written of this at all and I was therefore never given an opportunity to increase my offer. I phoned the offices to advise of this situation and was told I was called on the 22nd when in fact as previously stated, it was I that contacted them! I had Vodafone search my account and they indeed confirmed no call was made by RR.Not only is this extremely poor management, it is also my understanding it is illegal to not be kept informed.I feel very sorry for the vendor as I would have offered full asking price and possibly slightly more had I have been given the opportunity, something sadly, they will never be aware of.

Not accommodating at all for buyer or seller!

Tried booking a viewing on a house for Saturday in Evesham but was told there was nobody available on show us round. We are travelling from almost 2 hours away and we’re very interested in this house. Mortgage in place etc and first time buyer but did not want to accommodate us even to the point of arriving at their office earlier in the morning. No customer service whatsoever. Very disappointed. Would not sell my house with this company as they are not prepared to go the extra mile for the customer and buyer!!

Penwortham branch... excellent professional service

First of all, my girlfriend and I would like to say a big thank you to Rachel and Adam for literally everything they’ve done for us from finding the perfect property and going through with the paperwork. 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!

Not 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

The 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.

Reeds 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.

“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.

Gurdit 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!

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.

Donna has been amazing

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.

A 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.

If I could give 0 stars I would.

If I could give 0 stars I would.Absolutely appalling company. I will never recommend them to anyone, in fact I advised my friends against renting or purchasing a property with them to the point that their “dream house” is now in the process of been purchased through a much better company. The communication in Reeds Rains is laughable, their lack of communication is really what annoys me. I was renting a property, due to circumstances out of my control I had to leave the property. The terminations team for Reeds Rains. SHOCKINGLY BAD. It’s over 2 months later and I’m still waiting for my deposit back. I was told it would take 10 days. I’m constantly chasing them for the return of my deposit, email after email. Call after call. Nothing. I hear nothing from them majority of the time. The repairs I asked for were still not done by the time I left the property. They are horrific company. I’ve never had a worse service. I might be young but I know my rights as a tenant, a humans and the way they treat me was not right. I’m disgusted. They’ve caused damaged to my mental health, the stress this whole situation has caused me is endless. At one point it cause me to have fear that I could lose my job due to it causing me so many issues. Reeds Rains, if I could I’d stop you trading. No one deserves to be put through what I have nor should someone have to deal with a business like you.

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.

moved 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.

Terrible 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.

They 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.

Reeds 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.

Reed 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 !!!

If 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.
