TrustpilotExtremely poor customer service. No respect for a customer.
Extremely poor customer service. They have refused put my offer forward as I declined to take the mortgage with them. They said that my AIP which I had from my bank is not valid from them. After my Financial Advisor called to them they said that they accepted to put my offer on. After two hours I received the message that property has been sold.ReedsRains not to be trusted, they are cheat, they will try to force you to take out mortgage from their broker. No sense of care for customers.I will not ever deal with ReedsRains again and avoid any properties that are associated with ReedsRains.

I'm sorry you've been unhappy with the service received Greg J. Please could you email us at https://www.reedsrains.co.uk/contact-us/sales-complaint with more details including your full name and the address of the property to we can investigate the specifics of your case.Without knowing the specifics, it's difficult to give a full response, but I can say that we always take steps to find out from the buyer the source and availability of their funds and pass this information to the seller. Our normal process would be to have this assessed by the Mortgage Advisor in branch. This is not only good customer service to ensure all offers are proceedable, but also a requirement in the Property Ombudsman's Code of Practice (clause 10a). We would never discriminate against a buyer who had not used our mortgage services.

TrustpilotPoor communication
Poor communication. Over promise under deliver. No strategy to market a property bar putting on rightmove and hoping for the best. Our property still on the market after three months no offers and reduced asking price. Neighbour with exact same house and same initial asking price under offer within 3 days using Smartmove. Cannot get replies to e mails. Lack of motivation to keep our business. An e mail is being sent to Head Office. Lost out on the property we wanted.

TrustpilotBE 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.

TrustpilotReeds 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.

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.

TrustpilotAvoid 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.

TrustpilotReeds Rains Wilmslow
Great service with both buying and selling. All staff in the Wilmslow were very helpful and efficient at keeping me up to date, either by phone or email. All staff were very professional and persistent to close issues which occurred as a result of inadequate communications from my solicitor. I would not hesitate to use Reeds Rains Wilmslow in the future. Thank you!

TrustpilotVery 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.

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.

TrustpilotAvoid 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.

TrustpilotThe 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.

TrustpilotAvoid 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!

TrustpilotGreat Service from Reeds Rains Glossop Estate Agency
From the beginning of the property purchase process, the estate agent(Abi Weir) assigned to my case was friendly and extremely helpful. They patiently guided me through every step, providing all the information I needed to make informed decisions. I greatly appreciate that my estate agent always quickly provided my solicitor with all the necessary information and documentation. This proactive approach was instrumental in expediting the process. Moreover, when necessary, the estate agent went the extra mile by pushing my solicitor to ensure that everything stayed on track.
