Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 426 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the friendly local staff for being extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer any questions during the process. People genuinely appreciate the consistent progress updates and professional communication provided by the team from the very beginning until the final sale.

Lewis the agent was early to the viewing appointment and gave me time to wander throughout. He called when he said he would, and was very helpful throughout. As you can imagine the process can be quite nail biting but his quick responses and helpful manner made buying stress free. I would definitely recommend your service to anyone.

Absolutely appalling experience with Reeds Rains and I would not recommend them.

The problems started from the moment we moved into the property. There was mouldy food left in the fridge/freezer, crockery still in the dishwasher, food residue on the kitchen surfaces and a significant amount of the landlord’s belongings left behind. We were unable to properly use the garage for months because it was full of the landlord’s possessions, and when it was eventually cleared it was left dirty and with rubbish behind.

Throughout the tenancy we also reported issues, including broken doors and a broken toilet seat. These were discussed with the agent dealing with our tenancy at the time. Now that he apparently no longer works for the company, Reeds Rains seem to be acting as though these conversations never happened, which is simply not acceptable.

The situation at the end of the tenancy has been even worse. We returned the keys on 21 August and are still waiting for our deposit. Instead of returning it promptly, we were sent photographs alleging various cleaning and damage issues. Having reviewed them, I strongly dispute almost all of the alleged damage. Several of the issues were already present when we moved in, had previously been reported, or in my opinion amount to normal wear and tear.

Despite repeatedly asking for a clear itemised list of the proposed deductions and the actual costs they intend to claim, this still has not been provided.

What makes the whole situation particularly frustrating is the complete double standard. We were expected to tolerate a property that was not properly cleared or cleaned when we moved in, including losing the use of an entire garage for a substantial period, yet at the end of the tenancy they appear to be scrutinising every minor mark and trying to attribute pre-existing issues to us.

The communication and handling of the deposit have been extremely disappointing. I expected a professional letting agency to maintain proper records, deal fairly with both landlords and tenants and resolve deposit matters promptly. That has absolutely not been my experience with Reeds Rains.

I would strongly advise anyone renting through them to photograph absolutely everything on move-in, report every single issue in writing rather than relying on conversations with staff, keep every email and document, and make sure you have evidence of the condition of the property when you leave.

Based on my experience, I would not rent through Reeds Rains again.

As a long time landlords with the newland Avenue office, we were confident when choosing Steve, Tony and their team to take care of our own house sale …… superb communication, attention to detail proved successful when arranging the many viewings in a very short space of time which I’m confident will produce a buyer for our lovely home very soon THANKYOU

Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

From the moment we enquired with Reeds Rains in Clevedon to the moment we sold our property, they were nothing short of helpful, engaging and there when we needed them. We had bumps along the way with various parts of the chain falling through but Reeds were on it. Always available to answer any questions we had. If we ever sell again, Reeds will be our team. Thanks to everyone who helped along the way. Would recommend you guys in a heartbeat! Thank you 😁

Lisa and Karen.

Lisa and Karen from your Carrickfergus branch have been awesome. Apparently buying selling or renting out a property is supposed to be the most stressful experience known to mankind. Not me.

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.

Fantastic Service and Very Helpful Agents

We had a very positive experience with both agents when we viewed the property twice. From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly, professional and welcoming.
We were very happy with the level of service we received and would definitely recommend this estate agent to anyone looking to buy a property.
