If you are a tenant, avoid this company. If you wish to terminate your contract early as my son needed to due to current property no longer being suitable, plus landlord made excuses about repairs that he was fully aware of, Reeds Rains will force you to pay the fees they charge a landlord to get another tenant which they stated was £720!!, but they will provide no breakdown of what these fees cover. Staff are condescending in their replies including the area manager and one member of staff when my son said we would have the property ombudsman look into it, just said 'well you can but it won't get you anywhere'. The branch manager said he would provide more details but heard nothing from him since and the area manager implied the fees include advertising and board, search fees etc but all they did was put old photos they already had back on their website which costs them nothing and all their responses just keep saying that they charge a landlord that amount. We have needed to pay the fee but will continue to fight this and even at the end within 4 days of providing the bank details for money, my son had a threatening email saying if the money wasn't received straight away he would not be released from the contract (not too sure what they would do with the new tenant who is due to move in tomorrow and will have paid their fees and rent up front!!).
