Our History
In 1868, at the age of 44 our founder, Samuel Rains started a rent collection business in Manchester called Rains, making our company one of the most long-established property businesses still in existence.
In 1982 Samuel Rains and Son merged with Reeds Petty, collectively boasting 50 offices between them and this made the company one of the largest estate agencies in the country.
To decide on whether the brand should become Reeds Rains or Rains Reeds, they tossed a coin! The advertising slogan “Reeds Rains - It’s a Great Sign for Selling Houses” carried them forward for several years.
Today Reeds Rains is owned by LSL Property Services and has a network of over 100 franchised branches across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
