Ashley brought enthusiasm, energy and efficiency to the Crook branch during his period of temporary management and kept in touch afterwards. His hard work resulted in three of our properties being rented out to good tenants and his advice was invaluable. We were sad to see him return to the Durham office.

Reeds rains is the worst agency I have ever come across. They don't fix or maintain the house but instead send you to the landlord who will refuse to fix anything. You would expect reeds rains to contact the landlord to fix things as you rented it through them. Any one looking to rent around... Read Full Review

My house eventually sold more than one year after it was placed on the market, and for £19 000 less than the original asking price. When I instructed Reeds Rains to market the property for me, I said that I wanted to sell the property quickly. The asking price they suggested was £140-£150k,... Read Full Review
