If I could leave 0 stars I would

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Bullies, liars and horrible people to deal with. I thought the head office team on the phone were bad until I had to deal with the branch staff. Utterly incompetent. Would never recommend this branch or use them to buy, sell and especially not rent. Watch out for Greg the manager he is your typical slimy, creepy salesman who lies to try get what he wants.

Reed Rains maintenance is awful

Reed Rains maintenance is awful! Simply the worst estate agent maintenance I've ever dealt with! They never get back to my emails, never get back to me when I call them when they say they will. I've contacted about the same issues many times with no response. If the landlord is rubbish, then at least the estate agent can get back to me saying they're still waiting on the landlord. Ridiculous service, avoid at all costs. They also didn't ask the landlord to fix a water leak in the toilet until after we moved in (flusher was leaking into toilet bowl so no damage).

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

Don’t know why I even bother at this pointStill no answer from reeds rainsThey’ve committed so many illegal acts that I’ve had enough…And to think I’m gonna send an email to their customer service team again they can think again… You know them comments they put on your bad review posts on here?? Oh well think again if you think they reply because I’ve not heard a single peep JUST like the Hanley Stoke on Trent branch who have been ignoring me for 5 weeks about my deposit…Not being kept in the loop, not being told what’s going on… at this point it seems like theyre ignoring me so they can illegally keep the depositI’ve had enoughWorst most vile company I’ve ever had the misfortune of working with! AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Great Job

I used a different estate agent to try and sell my house in Pelaw. They let 3 buyers slip through their fingers even after having 3 acceptable offers on the table. So I decided to use Reed Rains instead. Sarah from the Jarrow Branch was very knowledgeable and professional their first 'prospect' viewed the property made an offer and purchased the property within 2 weeks of engaging Reed Rains. Thank you Sarah.

BE WARNED ABOUT THESE THIEVES

The worst, most dishonest bunch of charlatans i have ever encountered. Landlords, take notice of the many, many terrible reviews on the web and don’t be another victim. In a nutshell, they won’t pay you. They will collect rent from your tenants and hold on to it. Send them your bank details, ask for a reason why they don’t pay. All will be either ignored or referred to another office in Southampton. I’ve turned up at their offices to try to spur them into paying me. I was told they have tens of thousands of pounds of MY MONEY in an account, but it’s “on hold”. Unfortunately, they don’t know why it’s on hold, they’re owed no money from me. It’s simply not worth investing in property if you use Reeds Rains for your letting agents. Don’t take just my word for it, DO YOUR RESEARCH. Currently going through their internal complaints procedure, then I’ll be reporting to Property Mark for dishonesty and the Ombudsman. I believe there are a great deal of outstanding cases against them. DONT BE THE NEXT VICTIM

Completely garbage, I wish I could give a negative mark, fail company, never work with them.

Never response to ANY enquiry, they will only contact you when they need payment from you for work, they will never follow any instruction, they are never taking any responsibility.Long time in the industry only let them know how to forbid any responsibility that they need to take, you are always only on the loose end.Try them if you are brave enough, at your own risk.I am now suffering and waiting to terminate their service

Good luck getting your money back.

We have been renting through Reeds Rains for over two years now. In the meantime we have moved from one property managed by them to another one. Needless to say the move was anything but flawless (they wouldn't consider >100K £ / year as income because I'm employed via an agency and so on).The fun part starts when you ask for your deposit back from the previous property, managed by them. Countless emails, countless requests for updates. Very little back, blaming the landlord and so on. I've agreed to their exit report and everything, I just needed an update from the specialist "moving out team". The landlord personally contacted me this weekend to say that he is trying to return my deposit but Reeds Rains is making it difficult for them to do so. We are going to start legal proceedings but as far as Reeds Rains go:- Asked for who the manager is for the moving out team (no reply).- No complaints or code of conduct policies on their website- Incompetent one line replies basically saying "we are also waiting for an update from the landlord". For weeks.- no support as a tenant. Feeling talked down to despite being a customer for years.I would strongly advise people to seek someone else for their letting needs, be it landlord or tenant. I wouldn't trust them with buying or selling a house either since their process to get a deposit back and move to another property is so shockingly poor.

I have been helping a friend who has lost his son recently and his wife has now been admitted to hospital. There is a personal matter relating to a letting which is managed by Reeds Rains which required a sympathetic consideration. The matter was handled by Megan both sympathetically and professionally. In a hard business world sometimes decency and empathy shine through.

Disgusting, No Professionalism

The worst renting company I’ve ever had the displeasure of being with!!! REEDS RAINS HANLEY IN STOKE ON TRENT!!!I move out in 4 days… 4DAYS!!! And I’ve been emailing them the same email for 3 weeks straight they won’t email back they’re completely ignoring us, now that we’ve paid our last months rent they couldn’t care less about us or our move… we’re stressed and it’s causing serious problems with my health! Don’t be surprised if you receive a letter from court for negligence to your tenants… absolutely disgusting company!!!

Really great staff. Melissa and Stacey were great help in finding us a new home but their 3rd parties they use for references and payments are abysmal and I feel I have to take a star for that.

This is one of the fraudsters on Stoke high street. Security deposit will not be protected, and you will lose it without explanation, as there is zero response to email and calls to the agency, or to the central of theirs. Highly NOT recomended. Prepare to lose money on them! It is 3 months down since closing the rental and they do not care to give your money back.

Unnecessary charges for buyers

Beware. If you happen to buy a property from them. Each person will have to fork £48 ID checks. That usually done by solicitor as part of their package. While they need to verify.i don't see the point of extra payment. I would say go get that money from their customer ( seller of property)

AWFUL experience, choose another agent.

AWFUL experience. I was moved into a house that had not been thoroughly checked by the estate agent, so there was no ventilation in the bathroom (legal requirement), a missing fire alarm, broken glass, the property hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, no working freezer, no security alarm... the list goes on. I had to go into branch a number of times, emailing for months on end, was told by a maintenance team member to 'forget it'. I managed to end my tenancy early which cost me a lot of time and was very stressful. They now are making no effort to attempt to get my deposit returned, so I'm having to formally raise a dispute. This is months of unnecessary stress. Save yourself the pain, don't rent from them.

Very disappointed in Reed Rains Evesham, sale of my house took far longer than it should have due to their lack of due diligence (which they claimed was there strong point) sale fell through twice, I had to push them for communication every week and all they kept saying was “we have put a call in? We have sent an email” Best bit was with in 30 minutes of Me telling them I had exchanged I received their bill!!!Would not recommend unless you are prepared to wait and chase them every step of the way

We sold our house within a week in September 2020 and have had a really challenging time due to our buyers solicitors being unprofessional and incompetent. The team at Reed Rains have been amazing throughout, responsive, supportive and professional. They have always been helpful, flexible and available. They have provided excellent communication with our solicitors also and went above and beyond to contact our buyers solicitor. We had a lot of contact mainly with Rebecca, Jack and Christine who were amazing throughout. Rebecca even contacted out of hours, during her own leave and whenever we were having a meltdown which just shows her dedication. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them , so happy with our service. So glad we finally got there this week, thank you so much to you all.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Highly recommended.

We had to sell my mums house after she passed away suddenly. Jack and Jeremy made an awful experience so much easier. We live 350 miles away and they took care of everything: the viewings, valuation etc and kept me constantly informed. I can't recommended them highly enough. Professional, courteous and very approachable. I found their charges more than fair.
