I approached Reeds Rains to find residential tenants for what was formerly a student let. I was let down by another agency in HD1. At first, I was pleased with the rent valuation given by Reeds Rains but as the house was going nowhere quickly I agreed to gradually reduce the rent until it was rented. This was disappointing as it may have extended the void period (I wish it was more realistic to start with). Credit to the agency in that they do a good job in evaluating suitable tenants by referencing them. My advise here, as landlord, is to meet the interested tenants before they pay the application fee, if at all possible (I didn't with the selected tenant) but I had no issues. Over the years I have been happy with the tenants sourced by Reeds Rains who have mostly remained as long term reliable tenants -hopefully that will remain the case.
Comment on agent fees
Despite the fees being discounted for this property I still maintain that they are high, especially as I requested a minimum 12 month tenancy and the tenant was given a six month contact. If they leave after 6 months, the charge will prove to be proportionally high. I have had experience of another agent who charges a lower fee yet provides an equally good service. Perhaps this is down to Reeds Rains, larger company policy.
