Don’t touch with a barge pole!!

Truly awful experience…so unprofessional. Total lack of communication. On completion day, went to drop keys in and office was all locked up! We had been in a few days before to make sure of arrangements and were told there would be someone in their office at all times on completion day. Eventually Luke arrived - he had been for lunch, but there was no-one to cover…unbelievable on a Friday, the most popular day of the week for moving house. Whoever is the manager in Chester needs to realise that we are paying good money for a service, when it shouldn’t be unreasonable to expect someone to actually be on the premises to receive keys from their customers. It gets worse…our buyer went later to collect the keys and the shop was locked up again! It’s 5:30pm now and they still haven’t been able to get the keys. No phone calls to either ourselves or our buyers before hand to explain what was going on - we had to do all the chasing to find out why we were being let down. Begs the question ‘what are we paying for?’ Please avoid this Estate Agent.

Dreadful staff and experience

Dreadful staff and experience. Took a deposit of over £200 to apply for a rental property. Staff member Caroline was rude and aggressive on the phone when she suggested we hadn't completed our application in a timely manner, even though the delay and problem was with the checking agent they use, and then refused to return the deposit when the application was turned down due to adverse credit, which we had declared.They prey on people desperate to find a home. Absolute shysters - stay away from them at all costs. They will find some reason to retain your deposit at the very time you can ill afford to lose it.Update 12/10/24I was promised a refund minus a £50 ‘admin fee’ by the Glossop branch manager, which I accepted on the basis that I’d at least recoup some of the money they took. However it’s been over 10 days, and I have received neither the refund nor any update about when to expect it. Dealing with them is a degrading and disheartening experience.

Professional and on my side as seller

More personal about the sale if our house. Understood our needs about asking price. Helped to remarket the property and I have always felt they are on my side as the seller not on the side of the buyer. Always kept informed of progress and always available at the end of the phone staff very polite and helpful.

The Reeds Rains team have been brilliant, it may have been a long journey but they have been so helpful throughout the process. Grace is an angel, she is so lovely and have gone above and beyond to reassure us and help with the sale of our house and the buying of our forever home! Definitely recommend.

Highly recommended

From the moment we put our property on the market, the staff at Reeds Rains were very helpful and guided us through the whole procedure until completion. In particular we would like to thank Matthew Candow who was always willing to solve any issues we raised. We cannot thank them enough for making what potentially is a stressful situation very easy and I recommend them without reservation. Rosemarie & Mike James

Highly recommend - professional and empathetic

I rented a property through Reeds Rains and dealt with Thom - who was brilliant! I was in a tricky spot having been given notice to leave a previous rental due to landlady returning and he understood the urgency of a move, but also took into account me still needing to be in the area for my children's schooling and work. He communicated with me well throughout, and found me my ideal place which we all now love!

Not a bad experience overall.

Property well presented when advertised. Lots of viewings organised. Had two failed offers, for genuine reasons, but final and successful offer pushed through relatively quickly. Thanks to staff, particularly Andrea, Abbie and Sue, keeping us well informed at all times. Finally I think RR commissions compare well to competition.

My experience

Before i moved in i was told the property was all electric,it is run by a Gas boiler I was without heat in very cold weather.At the very least it would be ideal if I would have been given a folder of useful information re how to use the heating controls, how to get into the metre cupboard, how to use the security intercom to let visitors in etc... I am still struggling with the gas as I dont have an account number. Ive found the whole experience very stressful

One of the WORST estate agents I've ever been with. From the onset there were issues. They'll intentionally ignore all calls and emails. I had to go legal and I also had to get the council involved due to the extent of problems. The council kept having to chase them up as they just didn't care. The landlord was an awful person who took no liability for the damages which she KNEW about. I got a prohibition on my bedroom meaning I was forced to sleep in the living room, I got no compensation or any reduction in rent. I fact they ignored any calls or emails related to that. On top of this they sold my house 4 months after moving in. This was the point they started treating me the worst. I had support letters from social workers and all types of evidence. Photos of dead rats, clothes covered in mould etc.

Truly awful experience

Truly awful experience. I would not go with this company ever again, not because of the company but because of the landlords they choose.We went through reeds reins even though the landlord managed the property. We went without heating for 10 days with 3 kids. In fact the boiler broke every 3 months for years. There is a leak in the kitchen coming from the bathroom which was also never fixed. Let's not speak about he broken fence.The landlord often entered the property without permission, even if we were not there. When we left, they with held the deposit due to damage we have caused. But then they never did changed anything before for the next tenant l moved in... Where did our money go?Unfortunately my opinion of reeds reins is now they only work with landlords nobody else would choose. They are not responsible for the upkeep of the property but they are responsible for who they decide to work with.

We can highly recommend Reed Rains Kennington to sell your property. It was a difficult decision to sell my mother’s house, and they supported us throughout. They kept us informed at every stage of the process and gave good advice when needed.

Purchase 5 Beach Avenue

We have been delighted with the huge effort the Reeds Rains team put in. After a house purchase fell through they work tirelessly to find a new property for us. Thank you to Brooke but especially Tina for coordinating the purchase, her quick email responses and passing on our messages to the sellers. Thank you Reeds Rains Clevedon, an exceptional team, Tina was Brilliant!

Worst estate agents ever

Rented a house for my family, before moving in i requested that the house was cleaned and garden fixed as any tenant would expect. (The back garden gate was damaged lay on the floor and it led to an alley way in town. there was masses of waste both in the front and back even inside the house. They called us in on a Saturday at 2pm to collect the keys (They close at 3) & did an inventory in the office and said we could raise any issues within a week if the inventory did not match. When we raised these issues they had contractors take a look and we took 3 days off work for each time they came, nothing got fixed, they didnt stick to their word of even cleaning the garden. There was wiring sticking out of every wall in the house. They agreed to fix these issues, the blamed us for not checking the property properly and accepting it was. They were extremely slow in responding after 2 months of us constantly requesting the fixtures be made, they decided they would rather 'mutually' terminate the contract. Not without incurring costs though.

Happy customers !!

Very satisfied with the level of service we received from Reed Rains. Communication was good. We did have to step in and do a few of the viewings ourselves.

Overall an awful experience

It started off great, we rented a house in huddersfield through them and they were responsive and helpful until the person originally dealing with our move went on holiday. Then our move was transferred to emma, which again started off great however, she started to make us feel like an inconvenience whenever we called and asked for updates as it was getting close to our move date and things were not ready. Admittedly it was a quick move but we were told it was no problem. However, by the day of our move we still had no paperwork or keys despite the fact we were told we would have them by the day before at the latest, which was then changed to midday on moving today however we did not get the keys until 5pm which caused us a lot of stress and inconvenienced us a lot as we had people waiting to help us move so we just had to wait all day. When we went to the office on moving day to speak to Emma as she was just brushing us off on the phone, her attitude was awful and she was clearly irritated by us being there. She also went back on herself saying she never said the keys would be ready by this point, which was a blatant lie. She did not care about us or our move at all and I think that is what bothered me the most.Some of this may have been down to them having a new system, which I was sympathetic and understanding about at first. However, Emma's poor attitude and the fact she just didn't care made me become annoyed more quickly than I usually would have. Also, due to the new system they sent me someone else's tenancy agreement which included the tenants and landlords personal details, which must be major violation of privacy laws and made me feel insecure about the privacy of my information. When I brought it up to them they brushed it off like it was nothing. However, despite all of this, there was one positive experience which was all the handlings we had with Ben. Ben took over after Emma went home and he was kind, reassuring and caring, made us feel a lot less stressed and annoyed, as he actually explained why it was taking so long and what he was doing to speed it along a bit. He was a breath of fresh air after such an awful day.Overall I would not use this estate agent again. The staff need to work on keeping information private and attitudes towards tenants however, Ben was amazing and a saving grace that day.

Slumlord! No valid GSR for over 2 months!

Poor property management and lack of experience and/or under qualified staff across the agency. Slum landlord or ‘slumlord’ of current property who neglects and breaks every clause he’s bound by in the tenancy agreement. Left me and my family with young children without valid gas safety certificate for over 2 months, considerably a major breach of his and the agents legal duties. Reported to the HSE, to which the agent finally got in touch to arrange this to be carried out. To little too late in my opinion as this could have disastrous consequences. Gas safety certificate flagged a repair that needs to be carried out on the boiler, does not stop the boiler from working but the landlord immediately stated ‘if the tenant wants this repaired he needs to get this done at his own expense’ to which I stated that I was not paying for any part of the boiler to be repaired if this is required as it is simply not my fault or responsibility it is down to poor maintenance on the landlords behalf, landlord then stated that any repair to the boiler would be taken from my deposit. A void and ridiculous statement to make as anything to do with the boiler is his responsibility as per the tenancy agreement. Landlord is a tyrant and the agent supports his ludicrous comments and dictator behaviour.

Completely useless!

Completely useless!! Extremely frustrated with the Chapel House, Newcastle branch ..Reed Rains have let our property allegedly to 2 adults & 1 child but there are (many) more people in the house than stated. I consider this a breach of contract. Reed Rains have thrown it back to ourselves claiming they’ve completed their side of the agreement, REALLY!! What they mean is we’ve got our money so we aren’t interested in the slightest about your property. I wouldn’t neither use nor recommend Reed Rains to anyone. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Run don’t walk to another estate agents A little advice and assistance would of been greatly appreciated!
