BE WARNED!! Very disappointed with RR

Bad communication, very disappointed, seemed to appear professional but in reality totally the opposite. I put in an offer in the range of asking price, no reply for 2 months and finally when I chased up, I was told the property was sold, but the property was still available on the market! Finally when she replied after 2 months, lady who was dealing with my request suggested that if I still wanted to be considered that I should put in an extremely higher offer than the asking price so the offer cannot be refused.I found that very cunning and extremely disappointing because the actual price sold for was significantly less than the offer I initially made. ReedsRains not to be trusted, they are cheat, slow with bad communicators. No sense of care for customers. I will not ever deal with ReedsRains again and avoid any properties that are associated with ReedsRains.

Fantastic company

What a fantastic company! Due to false and lack of information/ disclosures from a local estate agent and solicitors, i found myself in the situation of breaking the sale chain and going into rental accommodation. I used Reeds Rains for the lettings in Rawtenstall and they were fabulous.

Reeds Rain Ilford - Horrible experience in every respect.

We purchased our first property from a seller who used Reeds Rain in Ilford. As I work in a property related field I am not nieve to the process.We put in an offer for the property based on a number of conditions being met. One of which was a clear timeline for completion. We were assured that there was a very short simple chain and that it would be an easy smooth transaction.Fast forward six months and we are still waiting for multiple properties in a branched chain to exchange with complex negotiations still underway.Reeds Rain refused to exchange for the entire time (we didn't end up exchanging until a week before completion.) If we weren't tied into the transaction at this stage we would have walked away 100% as a result of their abysmal handling of the situation.In addition to this, a number of the required conditions of sale were not completed, but we were not provided access to the property to check before completion - but again, we were assured by their office that there would be no problems and that things would be done. In summary of their service and attitude: Their office will never return your calls, you will have to just keep trying to get through to the right person, they will refuse to put anything in writing and once they have finished giving you the sales pitch, you will be nothing more than a number in the ledger and they will treat you as such.

I have used Reeds Rains twice now and always found Lisa Sharp to be incredibly swift in dealing with all aspects of the process. I highly recommend this Agent.

Horrific experience

Horrific experience. Zero customer services skills, blamed me for mould in the property I let from them which later revealed to be written in the inventory which was completed the day before I moved in, therefore they let me a property which they KNEW was mouldy.

Avoid At All Costs

This is the worse estate agents you could possibly use! They lie, deny any responsibility for any wrong doing, break your legal contract, never action anything they say they will do, cause you stress, financial loss, and have the worse management and complaints procedure I’ve ever known. If you are looking to rent or buy a property I would definitely not recommend using these and I work in the industry.

Very poor customer service

I booked Reeds Rains to value my house and got a confirmation email. On the day, nobody turned up so, 20 mins after they were due, I rang the office. The girl who answered the phone seemed uninterested and totally unapologetic and disinterested. Even after an email to complain I got no apology, just a question about if I still wanted a valuation. I will not bother with them again.

Absolutely avoid at all costs!

Absolutely avoid at all costs! They will try to rinse you for every penny! They were our agents when we rented a property for nearly 4 years, throughout the tenancy they were shocking, didn't carry out inspections on time, sometimes didn't even show up, never dealt with issues we raised with them. Good job that we actually new our landlord to sort things for us that was the agents job! And nearly 3 weeks since we left the property and we have still not received our deposit! I'm not holding my breath, but constantly chasing for this everyday. Will not be recommending this agent and shall definitely not be using them again.

Jordan was so helpful

Jordan was so helpful, an efficient and very friendly young lady. She helped my son find his first home and made the entire experience straight forward in what can be a minefield fro a first time buyer.

Central office let them down

This is a review as a landlord who used reed rains simply to find a tenant. The local branch in Hebden Bridge did this pretty efficiently. I had it in writing from the central office that after 6 months they would send the tenant a letter explaining that it was now a rolling tenancy. They didn't and are ignoring my requests to do so. So very quick to take the letting payment...I will use a locally based letting agency should i need one again.

Satisfied customers L & L

The overall sale process worked smoothly and quickly at the initial valuation stage, prep of relevant media material, arrangement of viewings etc., when there were delays outside of the agents control later in proceedings they were proactive in trying to resolve matters and reach a timely completion of sale and we were happy with the level of service provided.

Avoid this agency at all costs

Stay away from this agency as they are so unprofessional, dishonest and offensive (Elizabeth March and Andrea Snook). I had an accepted offer for a house and they instructed me to hire a solicitor and start the procedure. However, after 1 month, they have decided to accept a higher offer. They even did not bother to apologise for my £450 loss. Avoid this agency at all costs.

Reeds Rains Macclesfield

I recently exchanged on my first house purchase using Reeds Rains in Macclesfield Cheshire. Sue Wood and her team have been a delight to deal with, answering all queries promptly and proactively chasing up everything that needed tying up on both sides to make for a smooth process. Highly recommend.

Arranged a viewing. 10 mins late due to traffic. Rang office when arrived to be told agent already left! No call or message to advise they cannot wait. Very bad customer service 😔

The Property Management Side is Appalling

I've been renting a property via Reeds Rains since the middle of September. Since then, the boiler has broken down twice. The first time took almost a week to rectify. The second time was reported on the evening of October 19th when I was advised someone would contact me the following morning. Six days later I'm still waiting. On Saturday 21st October, I reported a leak in the lounge only to be advised it wasn't an emergency and someone would contact me the following Monday morning. Again, I am still waiting for that call. There are other issues which need dealing with but not as urgent as these two. Although my local agent has escalated this and asked someone to contact me urgently, I still haven't received any contact. I don't know what the problem is but honestly, I wish I had never rented with Reeds Rains if this is the standard they believe is acceptable from the property management side of the business. I would advise any would be renters or landlords to be wary of using Reeds Rains.

Avoid like the plague! They break the law!

I would beg anyone who is considering to rent or let their property with Reeds Rains to find another agent! Please please please avoid like the plague! Entering a property without permission or consent is illegal but in the eyes of Reeds rains, it’s just a normal day in the office! I would rather sleep in a box on the motorway than ever use this company again!!!! Please avoid!

One of the worst letting agencies I have seen, I rented a house through them which is not in great shape, they say it's fully managed, etc but doesn't want to do anything, I was thinking of buying a house through them but not walking through that door again. They just want to take high rents from you & rest is none of their's concerns. There are better agents out there who are more customer-oriented than themselves. And if you are rented do check all the details with them as they seem to suddenly change things for their own benefit.
