The Team at Reeds Rains Didsbury offer an Excellent Service

The Team at Reeds Rains Didsbury have been there for me even before I put my property on the market. Their support and guidance on market conditions and the industry was invaluable, they were honest and very helpful. Elly was my go to, she is outstanding. During the viewing stage their communication was excellent. Not just an auto email but regular calls to discuss progress and feedback. I'm delighted that my property has now sold, STC, and again, David the Manager called and his exact words "it's my job to help and support you through the sale now, i'll do everything I can to help". And he's stuck to his word, just superb! It's so refreshing to get such great customer service. Big thank you to all at Reeds Rains Didsbury.

Maddie Hughes had gone over and above being just an estate agent. She's been very helpful in organising the sale of my house. Thank you.

It’s all about the buyers, stuff the paying customer!!

I am writing this review from the vantage point of two separate house sales - our own home and assisting my parents house sale.All was good in the early stages of both sales until it came to sorting out a moving date and on both occasions (different estate offices) the clear priority was to only help the buyers and not give much (if any) help to the seller (the reeds rain customer who actually pays!). On both occasions we were bullied to meet the demands of the buyers, regardless of how ridiculous the time frames were being asked.During the day of our move we were constantly nattered by phone and text (7 calls) to see if we had left the property as the buyers were wanting to get in.If you are selling a home I would not recommend reeds rains one bit, in my experience they just added to the stress.

Our house was sold very quickly but unfortunately the buyer changed their mind. The staff at Reeds Raine were very supportive and immediately started sending other buyers to see our property. We have now got a new buyer at a better price so fingers crossed this sale will do through.

From our first meeting with Nicola-Jane, the team at Reeds Rains - Louise and in particular Sam, have always been very accessible, responsive and professional. Sam is our main contact and conducted the viewings of our property in a professional manner with Sam always being able to answer any queries from potential buyers thoroughly and he was always punctual !! Sam is very good at keeping us updated and included in the process - we have found that this is not necessarily the case with other agents ! We have no hesitation in recommending Sam Middlemiss of Reeds Rains Eccleshall to anyone wishing to buy, sell or let any type of property.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Yet again nothing done to sort my issue going on since MAY

Yet again introduced to someone who said they can help look at my issues that have been going on for months and so far they have done absolutely nothing, don’t reply they are so rude!!! Since May this has been going on, was meant to have rent increased in May said they can only do it in September! And guess what still not happened. Promised they would fix it and get back to me and nothing at all! No reply!! So so RUDE and have no interest in correcting their mistakes! Can’t afford my mortgage hence why we asked for a rent increase, since MAY this has been going on. Tenant was expecting new amount to be taken and reedsrains haven’t done anything at their end!!! SHOCKING stay away

Fantastic Service and Very Helpful Agents

We had a very positive experience with both agents when we viewed the property twice. From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly, professional and welcoming.

If you want to waste your time on the market, recieve no support from the agent. Have them make up contracts. Never have staff to do viewings and end up taking your own photos of your property on your iphone and have them not let you leave them as an agent when you raise the issues. Reeds rains Hull is the agent for you.

Having recently purchased a property in Eccleshall, with ReedsRains Eccleshall as the vendors' estate agent, I found the small team of Nicola-Jane, Izzy, and Louise to be very helpful with communications seamless. Special thanks to Louise who restored my faith in estate agents - friendly, helpful, co-operative, efficient, and at one point even actively helped me manage some problems with another estate agency involved in my chain!

The Reeds Rains Team in Eccleshall were great to deal throughout the sale of our home. The girls in the office were always on hand to help out with any queries and help us give other parties a push when needed. We highly recommend!

Waste of Time

I used Reeds Rains to list my property, they were all singing and dancing with positivity but once I’d paid for ‘professional’ photography, I seemed to be forgotten about. (Photographer was rude too!) I didn’t get any viewings so was constantly chasing the office for updates. I had a friend put in an enquiry and they didn’t contact him for 10 days!!!!! Never answer their phones or emails. Was on the market for 4 months before I switched to another agency and the house was sold within a month. Staff clearly don’t care about the sale, more like they are incentivised to get the listing.

Useless

Do not use these incompetent con artists.Had our apartment ruined by a serious leak from the apartment they manage above us. After the building's management company sent out a plumber to turn off the water to stop the leak, Trudy in the Ballyhackamore branch told their tennant to just turn the water back on again. That was on Saturday morning, on Monday morning the building's management company plumber came back to repair the serious leak and was told to stop by the incompetent Trudy. Several hours, and the need to complain multiple times, later, as well as more buckets full of leaked water collected, finally the completely incompetent Trudy at the Ballyhackamore branch managed to get a plumber to come out and fix the leak. Now after many failed attempts to get the incompetent Trudy to provide their insurers details I have come to the conclusion that the only option is to take legal action against them to force them to give me the details of their insurers so that I can have my seriously damaged property repaired.If you let these incompetent imbeciles do anything for you in any capacity, be warned, you will end up in court facing significant costs just because of their gross stupidity and incompetence.

Reddish branch

Reddish branchTOTALLY INCOMPETENT, RUDE and the most UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY EVER.Completed my sale with this company two weeks ago, after accepting an offer in early February ! ! !They DON’T check buyer’s details, they make up unbelievable stories about the buyer.The Manager, Mark is completely incompetent, lies and is RUDE. NEVER acknowledges emails or calls and also uses a different name when the seller questions what is happening.To date, not had any confirmation of my payment, no thank you for using the company or a survey regarding the services provided.PLEASE PLEASE do not use this company for your own sane of mind.

Deeply disappointing service

Sadly, not a great experience with Reeds Rains Hebden Bridge. TL:dr, don't use them, better to do it yourself which is pretty much what I did. I initially dealt with a manager who was great, but unexpectedly (to me at least) left just as my house was about to go on the market. Then followed 3 weeks of an incomplete and incorrect listing on their site and Rightmove. There were endless corrections and back and forth from me, to no avail. Then a new manager started and this was finally corrected.The second viewers were the ones who ended up purchasing the house and are lovely, lovely people. Who at their own admission were clueless as to the process. I was told by Reeds Rains that they were cash buyers - they were mortgaging their own home and using the cash to buy mine. I understood this to mean that Reeds Rains had confirmed they had the cash in their account since they repeatedly told me they were cash buyers.They didn't. Reeds Rains only went so far as to prove that the buyers had mortgage approval, no more. I could get mortgage approval tomorrow and it would be meaningless. This resulted in 3 months down the road when it came time to exchange contracts, the buyers could not as they did not have the deposit money - nobody had thought to check this. They also didn't have the mortgage....and again, nobody had checked. An incredibly stressful 3 weeks followed while they actually secured their mortgage, not able to exchange contracts with me so I had absolutely no security at all. This should have all been confirmed before I accepted the offer - and I foolishly believed the correct due diligence had been done. All that had been done was a conversation with the buyers mortgage broker ('well, he had known them 20 years and vouched for them' - really???) and a confirmation of the mortgage offer. I literally chased this every step of the way myself - hence my point about do it yourself!

Dissapointing & Unhelpful

Excellent when you are looking to rent a property that they are representing as agents, but awful when you vacate.No responses to any emails and they hold onto your deposit long after the landlord has agreed to release it. Covid is their excuse not their real reason.It seems they are just playing for time.Eager to get your deposit upfront but not so keen to return it.Extremely unprofessional and very frustrating.Perhaps they need to employ more staff to be able to offer the level of service required.

Great for first time buyers

Our real estate agent was Neil Price from the Coventry branch. As first time buyers, we had no idea where to even start but we found the help and advice from Neil essential in starting our journey. Throughout the buying process, communication was great as we were constantly kept up to date - with any questions we had answered swiftly. Even after moving into the property, he assisted us with a few queries we had about the property and got back to us the same day, sorting the questions we had. Thank you so much to Neil - we can’t wait to start making this house our forever home.

***KEEP AWAY***

***KEEP AWAY***We were treated like young dumb first time buyers and constantly lied to by the sellers and estate agents. Property was advertised as FREEHOLD, we asked the sellers about the property status, they said the property was FREEHOLD, the paperwork was in the post. During the solicitors searches, it came to light that the property was in fact LEASEHOLD.Reeds Rains asked how we found out that the property was LEASEHOLD and we explained through the solicitors, to which estate agents said "but yeah its a long LEASEHOLD " - so they already knew and were hiding and MIS-SELLING!

Positive result with some bumps in road

Firstly, Read Rains sold the property which is the primary objective. The commission price was competitive so we have a positive result. The market has been very slow this year so I appreciate why it took longer than wanted and we had to reduce the initial asking price significantly. The staff are always polite and courteous.On advice from Read Rains we engaged with their online auction service. This was a waste of time. Communication with the auctioneers was almost non-existent and no offers were made at any price.We reverted to traditional sales approach. There was confusion regarding an initial offer which never materialised but eventually we secured a sale with a different buyer.The solicitors service which partners with them on a no sale no fee basis, engaged with us but after being engaged, they informed that they were not able to cover our purchase property. This also wasted some time.Lastly, I felt that it was always me pushing for updates and progress and Reads Rains reacting. Other agents I have used are more proactive. This could have been somewhat due to a turnover of staff at the particular branch but such things are part of business and should be managed.
