Absolute rubbish. Do not use Reeds Reins Ossett

Absolute rubbish. I don’t recommend. I’m in the process of selling. It’s been a total frustration & I feel very badly let down by the staff at Reeds Reins Ossett. I have no idea what they are doing for their commission as it’s always me that’s chasing & trying to get things moving, I’m always getting the answer machine & I very rarely get calls back. It would be a very big review if I went into the nitty gritty of the problems due to their lack of effort. Communication is RUBBISH, the worst of any company I have ever dealt with. They didn’t keep on top of our first sale & we lost alot of time because of them. The second sale is on with & again they haven’t done anything. We’re 3 months into a sale that was supposed to take a month & it’s because they don’t chase things up or communicate with you. I complained by email to the manager laying out their negligence with the first sale. One of the members of staff agreed with my comments on the phone but the manager never responded. I rang twice for a response to my email…nothing. I’ve screenshot all the calls & you can see from my call log that they don’t get back to you. I emailed asking for a response to my complaint & it wasn’t barely a response just a couple of lines of nothing. I’m so so frustrated & fed up of doing all the leg work myself. Very disappointed. I was about to pull out of the sale & move somewhere else as I’d had enough & then they finally did something, however since then I’ve had nothing & yet again I’ve had to chase.

Sold my house with reeds rains i’ve had…good experience

Sold my house with reeds rains i’ve had a bad experience with Reeds Rains in the past so was sceptical about using them again until I met Mel, the manager very professional and warm person when my sale fell through she personally took charge and got us back on track with another buyer we lost no time and soon had a sale

Advised terribly

Advised terribly, advise was made for the benefit of Reeds Rains and not myself.Communication lacking.Pulled out at a cost to me.I can only tell you my experience and that is they don't care about the customer.The person advising me thought because i had to pay a fee to pull out, i would be reluctant to do it. There is no chance I would let them sell my house after all this. And on that, i have spoken to someone else who said they were trying to sell a house for nearly a year without success using Reed Rains, they went elsewhere and it sold after a week.You live and learn...

The entire team at Crossgates were brilliant, especially James Walker- lettings manager. James went above and beyond to help us to find a property to let when the landlord of our previous property decided to sell. He's been an absolute star, this is the 2nd property that we have rented from Reeds Rain and James has overseen both lets and managed both tenancy's. Thank you so much to the team and a massive thank you to James for all his help. Cheers mate, Dave and Wendy.

Very cumbersome process

This was cumbersome and unnecessary made a very difficult process. I was a guarantor. Then I needed a reference from my employer. I have to submit taxes. Totally crazy. I have no idea how this people can even rent one house. If I wasn’t doing it for my loved one I would totally go somewhere else. They need to tone it down. Pure nonsense. Scary stuff

The staff at Reeds Rains Leyland have been amazing. I completed an application for the house as soon as I had viewed it which is very efficient and a good system to have in place. I would like to thank Olivia, Jessica and Carole for being so friendly and answering my questions. Thank you.

Absolutely furious lied to and ignored

Absolutely furious with the lack of customer service. I was sold an auction property by Lisa Sharpe - told there was a tenant in there for the next year, and that rental would be taken care of. She lied, tenant was moving that week. I bought in June - still not completed due to buyers solicitor not sending accurate information and ignoring my solicitors emails

Our letting agent was Alice - who was informative, quick to respond, and most of all kind and personable. As a professional couple who rent, we were looking for a home that met our needs. Alice understood what we were looking for and matched us to a lovely property. She also helped us navigate all the checks and references. She has worked hard to ensure that we can get keys on the day we wanted (appreciated this close to Christmas!) and has been very supportive during this process.

As a female landlord, I have been with Reeds Rains for the last 10yrs :-) I’m always delighted with the tenants they find for me, many of whom have stayed in my properties for years. The all-female team are all fantastic - Andrea, Maria, Jackie and Keira and a special thank you goes to their newest member, Alice who has worked tirelessly to find the perfect tenants for me yet again! Thank you 🙏🏽 everyone and I look forward to working with you all for many years to come 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 GIRL POWER 💪💪💪

Richard has been very informative about the importance of selling the house in a difficult market and Pam has always been very helpful and positive in the office. I would highly recommend that you contact them if you have a property that you would like to sell quickly. Best regards, Nigel

Reeds Rains Congleton

As a first time buyer, to be told the wrong completion date from Zoe was annoying.The day before I phoned to say I doubt that’s happening as our solicitors haven’t said it will be.They still told us we will be moving in.This is because Reeds Rains Solicitors sent out the paperwork too soon to the sellers and dragged it out for 3 weeks sending us our paperwork that we needed.

Excellent customer service!!

So incredibly grateful that we have Alison Whiteside on our team. We had a really long, tough battle on our hands with many issues, however Alison was always on the other end of the phone to offer her help and reassurance. She fought our battles for us, she made us feel like we weren't a nuisance. I cant thank Alison at Reeds Rains Bamber Bridge enough. This is the lady you need on your team! Thank you, thank you, thank you!We are also thankful to Rebecca and Chris who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a few occasions. We would recommend them over and over again! x

Still have received my deposit after 3 months of vacating one of reed Rains properties. I have gone through mydeposits Dispute and the agency was ordered them to pay back the deposit a few weeks ago, but no payments have been made. I have made complaint to the property Ombudsman and the national trading standards estates and letting agency team, in preparation to take it to court. I don't understand why they are stalling and the constant lies whenever you speak to someone on the phoneNoma

0 stars or less - useless complaints department

0 stars or less. Complaints department is pretty useless. Unfortunately I don’t think there is a complaints procedure about a complaint against the complaints department. Woman answered like a teenager with a bad attitude sounded immediately like she was up for an argument, to call her a manager in this field is degrading to those who are that actual profession. Had a lot of wrong information. Not professional, being advised that my out look on life needs to change and simply siding with the landlord on every front no professional phone etiquette. Being told my complaint to save £100 was ridiculous, Completely uneducated in contract law, but adamant that she was correct and everything I did say that was clearly correct got responded to with a ‘yeah, but…’, no sign of taking responsibility,admission or apology when they are incorrect about something. Not sure if she has been trained in how to deal with customers with complaints, almost as if she expected me to be happy about making a complaint. Needs further training.

Pontefract branch, not exactly forward thinking, half the time the office phone is not answered. Average at best.

I have had to do a lot of house hunting in the past 20 years and I can honestly say that the service I received from Lucy at Reed Rains during my most recent search was really amazing and one of the best I have had. Lucy is a highly professional, honest, super helpful and friendly agent. Great overall experience. Would highly recommend.

Never again

Requested repairs to the property that I was renting in multiple occasions, never happened, and currently 3 weeks after moving out and still have not received my deposit back and can't seem to get a straight answer. The flat was dirty when I moved in, I cleaned from top to bottom when I moved out including shampooing and wet vac to carpets. it was way cleaner than when I moved in. Yet still won't return my deposit. Leaving me struggling to pay my bills, fuel my car and buy food.Thanks for putting me in this situation.Plus when the flat was for sale whilst I was a tenant, I found out when they booked a viewing! I wasn't even informed it was for sale.*Update*Further information provided as requested and no response from them since.
