Exceptionally good

Very good indeed. A close focus on what the customer wants. All office staff kind and helpful. All RR agents who saw our house loved it and that genuine positivity made a difference. The pricing discussions were sensible and the brochure/Rightmove entry looked really good. Skilled & experienced guidance in the final sale negotiations was sharp.

tallulah-Mae and others that I’ve communicated with concerning the re- renting out of my mums property have not only been professional considerate efficient and knowledgeable ,Tallulah-Mae organised an open day for potential with the very pleasing result that she found the perfect tenants for the property before the previous tenants left meaning no long gap waiting for some interest ! I would thoroughly recommend Reed Rains When selling or renting out your property.

Quite happy to see you homeless

I Agreed on a let with the Bamber Bridge office for a property in Bamber Bridge. I completed the application process and paid the admin fees. I gave notice on my current property and arranged a transfer of utilities etc.2 weeks before my moving date, they advised the landlord had changed his mind and cancelled my application. The olive branch was an offer of a property £300pcm more expensive.I'm now scrambling try to find somewhere to live as i'm working away next week and which leaves me a week before i'm homeless.Thanks for nothing.

To day I received a phone call from Reeds Rains the young lady was inquiring for a tenant or theirs that had a ceiling leak from my flat, I told her that I had plumber with me about that and that we had blanked the water off and would she mind if I call her back after we had organized the work, She said NO! and i find you very rude! I then said if you find that rude you will find it ruder when I cut you off Good bye!Footnote I find the level of service totally unacceptable. Ps I did call back giving a more pleasant lady the information they required.

Guisborough Reeds Rains - Fantastic!

Thoroughly recommend Guisborough Reeds Rains, the help and advice they gave us as first time buyers was brilliant! The girls in the Guisborough branch were always on hand keeping us on the right track at every turn, from searching for a property, processes, solicitors & arranging mortgage appointments. We felt like we were treat like family which made the whole process as first time buyers a lot better, would definitely look to use them again if ever needed.

Fully managed service-I let my property…

Fully managed service-I let my property with Reeds Rains just over 12 months ago, I have since had nothing but issues with them, they never respond to emails, when you do call to speak to someone they are rude towards you, to the point where I received an email from a manager apologising for their member of staff behaviour, then they give you incorrect costly information, they are happy to pay themselves but not the landlord. I would avoid using these at all costs.I would like to add that I have had to escalate my complaint and still I am receiving any responses from this company. Please do not use them to manage your rental property.

Outstanding Customer Service …

I cannot fault the excellent service that I received from the staff at the Holmes Chapel branch of Reed Rains, especially Tallulah-Mae.Although in the end I did not actually use their branch to purchase a property, their help and advice on a number of occasions was not only very professional but delivered unconditionally. I could highly recommend them as not only being ethical but very friendly and sincere in their approach to customer service.

Very welcoming and understanding staff

I was given brilliant service by Reeds Rains when I went into their St Helens branch looking for a place to rent. One of the staff there Ellie made me feel very welcome and helped me out massively. Ellie was very patient and accommodating to my situation, spared no detail when explaining the processes necessary for a first time renter. Would highly recommend this estate agent to anyone who needs to start renting a property

Rude, pushy & unprofessional

It’s difficult to know where to start as almost each interaction with the Chester branch was disappointing and stressful. My partner and I bought our first home through Reeds Rains and both vowed never to use them again. The branch manager Nina is either super friendly or extremely abrupt, before you can explain why you are calling she barks “what can I do for you”. Customer service training certainly wouldn’t go amiss. We had a survey carried out and it was recommended that we carry out further investigations to determine whether there was asbestos in the artex ceilings. Nina dismissed the surveyor’s comments, saying she’d never heard anything like it and suggested we find a new surveyor!We paid for a separate asbestos survey and hey presto, they found asbestos in the artex ceilings and in the garage. Nina told us that as we’d only tested 2 rooms, there was no evidence that there was asbestos in all the ceilings (even though each ceiling has identical artex design). We later discovered that after slating our surveyor, Nina is now passing him a lot of work.We put our offer in on the house in January and naturally due to lockdown, nothing happened for several months. The house needed so much work that we had to arrange for tradespeople to enter the property in order to assess the work required and provide a quote.We managed to secure a local builder who agreed to visit the house. He was given assurance by Reeds Rains that they would be at the office at 9am the following day to hand over the keys. The next day at 9.15am, the builder rang me to say he arrived at Reeds Rains office but it was closed. The builder said he was too busy to rearrange so I had to find another builder. That wasn’t easy as every man and his dog were renovating their houses during lockdown. After complete radio silence for months (& no apology for leaving our builder stranded), when we were trying to arrange an exchange date (which happened to be the beginning of August), we were inundated with telephone calls. I had one very unpleasant call just before I attended a funeral, demanding to know why we had put the date back one week. I was told that “the sellers wouldn’t be happy”. The rudeness and aggressive manner of the agent was quite shocking to say the least.Our solicitor also told me that they’d been phoning him constantly and were rude and demanding. We both came to the conclusion that Reeds Rains wanted the sale to go through in order for them to meet their month end targets.Our experience should have been exciting and happy, but it was stressful and at times, rather upsetting. Sadly I would not recommend this estate agent (my review concerns Chester branch, other branches may have friendlier staff who don’t harass people).

Never rent from ReedsRains!

Never rent from ReedsRains!Their fragmented departments make it impossible at times to get any fluidity to responses. Constantly late in terms of dealing with return of payments, they often mis-calculating amounts and show a complete lack of empathy with any issues raised. Their Hub is particularly bad at customer service and I feel they are only out to get as much money out of you as possible. They prefer you to over pay then claim reimbursement, however getting the money back is an absolute nightmare. At branch level they complete dismiss responsibility and tell you to contact the faceless Hub if you have issues. Both these elements of the business do not seem to be well coordinated at all. Maintenance issues are not dealt with promptly.They often shun responsibility and you end up chasing your tail trying to get an answer. Horrible company with terrible morals!I would honestly never take a house rented by them under any circumstance again.

Reeds Rains Wrexham

Reeds Rains Wrexham. If I could give zero stars here I would. Currently renting a property via this Agent and are treated with a complete lack of courtesy and in fact disdain. Correspondence is completely un-professional , abrupt and to be frank rude.Reeds Rains, the rent gets paid on time every month, the property is kept in superb condition, by us, and has been cleaned (it was filthy) and improved by us, your second class citizen customer.Maybe some staff training could improve this but I would simply avoid if possible.

Stunning sales service

When you entrust your house sale to Estate agents it’s usually a nervous , stressful time . With the Congleton branch of outstanding professional women the service is second to none . The gentleman in branch not the same level of service ......Every woman within the business I’ve spoken to throughout my unusual property, have guided me from start to finish ....Katie is my main point of contact and I can recommend Her as the perfect agent , without her by house would not have had the footfall re viewings ....

Every year poor services of maintenance!!!

Every year we have to leave a poor review to this maintenance company!!!! It takes literally days to come and contact you in regards of fixing your watter issues (some very old boiler broken)!!! And then it takes them some more additional days to have someone available to come and check, because their availability is not OK when it is for you too.... And if you tell them 3x times you are not available on the evening when they call you (after days have passed), they keep on pushing it as they would be literally deaf!!!! And we have this little process every year 2 or 3x times... Because the boiler is suuuuuuper baaaaad and oooooold!!!! Very poor quality and extremely old!!! The company suuuuper ruuude!!!! Other then that they could just put a proper boiler but hey hey... They do not want to....So very very upset about the quality of their services!!!!

To determine our home's value for sale

To determine our home's value for sale, I completed a Zoopla form that forwarded our information to several local estate agents for valuation. Reeds Rains Cheadle branch contacted me by phone and gathered personal details and property information during a seven-minute call. They scheduled an appointment a few days later. However, I received a subsequent call indicating they could only value the property if it was listed immediately.In summary, they collected all necessary information but failed to achieve the primary objective, resulting in a waste of time and unprofessional behaviour on their part.

Reeds Rains - horrible experience and they will cheat you!

I dealt with Macclesfield branch as a landlord. They will be very nice to you and get you sign a contract with vague contract. They will make sure they don’t tell you important information. In my case I wanted to end fully managed contract as a landlord after tenancy agreement was ended and they asked me to pay full months rent as an exit fee. They have this clause in contract that you do have to pay exit fee but the whole contract is written as if it all applies for tenure of tenancy agreement, and that’s where they will cheat you!!! I had to pay money to come out of contract since property ombudsman is useless and takes month to reply. My advice is to make sure you ask them to write down very clearly about any exit clause but rather not use them because they cheat you through their terms

Great Service

Reeds Rains have been amazing so far. I have dealt with Mark and Nicole so far both who are very friendly. The process has been super quick, my house went up for sale on their website on the Friday and an offer accepted on the Saturday. Just waiting for the legal side of things to happen now so fingers crossed for no issues!

Slow, misrepresentative and poor attitude

I’m in the process of trying to rent a flat through this company and the level of service hasn’t been great. The listing for a studio shows a 1-bed and gives a studio rent; the virtual tour is the same. I’ve asked repeatedly for an application form and they’re dragging their heels with providing this to me. I love the property and I want to move there as soon as I can but the way the company has acted so far is seriously making me want to look elsewhere. The attitudes of the letting negotiators and agents are also really poor considering I’m eligible, eager and highly interested.

Maria at Reeds Rains Rothwell

Maria has been brilliant in dealing with the sale of our property. In fact, she was the one who found us another purchaser when the first buyers pulled out. She has kept us regularly informed, chased everyone up repeatedly and has been helpful and cheery throughout. She obviously loves her job and it shows in the service she provides, so a huge THANK YOU Maria, and if you’re ever in Scarbados …

Left in the dark by Nicola Baines.

I know all estate agents are rubbish but appalling performance from Reeds Rains.We put an offer in on our first home in April, after getting accepted less than a day late we were over the moon.We were put in touch with a lady called Nicola Baines. She was handling the sale and at first she seemed to be on the ball and quick to help. So we thought...Now the issues we had were endless. The sale took 8 months to complete and was a roller coaster of emotions along the way.With my partner heavily pregnant and us itching to get moved in. I found myself doing all the chasing for updates and getting non to little response from Nicola. The issue at hand was the vendor of our first home was struggling to receive paperwork from her solicitors regarding searches.We were asking Nicola to chase up the solicitors to make the sale move. This went on for months. Enquiry after enquiry and little to no interest from Nicola.Eventually around June time I kept trying to contact Nicola and was getting no response. Completely ignored. As I was already doing the estate agents job for them chasing up and sending information off I completely forgot about Nicola.With my partner then giving birth in August we found ourselves living out of a small bedroom in a 2 bed end terraced with a new born baby and my partners Mother, step father and sister. 6 people in a 2 bed house.I was getting very angry and tired of the let down after letdown of this sale and the estate agents not even interested in it going through. After contemplating pulling out I decided to email the Director of Reeds Rains and copy Nicola in explaining my frustration and disgust from such an appealing company...I was then in receipt of a missed phone call. When I rang back it was a lady from Reeds Rains apologising on behalf of Reeds'.Then she proceeded to inform me that Nicola had gone on sick then left the company. Abandoning all sales leaving one member of staff to pick all the properties up and work them one by one. Angela (lady who took over) i completely sympathise with and she did her best to get the sale over the line.The reason for my disgust is the fact that it went 2 months without an agent and Reeds' couldn't even be bothered to let me know she had dropped us and left.I appreciate that the sales were being directed to another member of staff but we should have been at least briefly informed that this was happening...I was absolutely disgusted. I was also told that this behaviour is not new from Nicola and she wasn't that great of an agent.The question i still have in my head despite being in the house 4 months and settled happily is why did all this take 2 months to be informed of. I had to chase for updates myself. If I didn't then how much longer would we have been in the dark. 3 maybe 4 months? I'm confident Reeds' would have been more than happy to keep us at the back of the queue.Absolutely abysmal operations from Reeds Rains. Poor management and terrible staff.I sincerely hope than Nicola Baines new employer is aware of how she treat us and I hope this leaves a mark on her career. As a manager myself why wasn't Reeds supporting her or looking into her lack of work as a staff member.She is supposedly living on the same estate as us as she told us at the start. I'd love to ask in person why she left us in the dark. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour and despite the issue being resolved. Its the fact that they left the buyer to do all the work. Causing peak stress during an already stressful time.Ironically we had to pay up front £100 for a credit check on ourselves before the property even got took off the market.I'd like the £100 back personally and suggest next time Reeds you should check your staff's work ethics before checking the buyers credit score. Which has nothing to do with the estate agent anyway. This should be handled by the solicitor.AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Sellers Beware !!!

Sellers Beware !!!I instructed Reeds Rains Northwich, Cheshire branch to sell my property. After nearly 10 weeks of no interest whatsoever, the seller suggested I sell my property to “his mate”. A so called property developer who wanted to buy the property but did not have the money to do so! The so called property developer uses a delayed completion scheme over three years, following which you would receive the money for the house, all the while the seller is liable for damages/repairs etc. This process is regulated by the FCA as you would expect and shock horror the so called property investors are not FCA regulated and have a property portfolio of 2x vans! At no point did I tell the agent I wanted to rent the property out! I, of course escalated my complaint via their complaints process which was a waste of internet and email storage. Speaking to the manager was an awful experience! PS, the photographs taken of the property for the sale were terrible! Don’t worry about a response Reeds Rains, more gaslighting has no effect on me.
