Communicative and effective. Great value.

I had such good service from the team at Prospect. When offered on a house before selling Beth bent over backwards to get new leads, and updated us every couple of days until she secured the offer we needed. Other agents offered us slightly cheaper rates, but having just been in a chain with those agents I can say with confidence that if Betsy hadn't gone above and beyond we wouldn't have got the transaction over the line before our deadline. Both Beth and Betsy were always happy to have a quick chat, which I really appreciated, and most importantly they got the job done.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The service I received was absolutely exceptional throughout my 2.5 years tenancy. This is all down to Julie Jacobs (property manager). Julie is undoubtedly the most professional, kind and helpful lady I could have wished for to help me through my time at a rented property. I always felt comfortable and confident that if I had an issue as a tenant I could turn to Julie and she would do her upmost to solve and find a resolution without siding with the landlady. As a tenant this meant a lot to me as I did have a tricky landlady! Julie is a asset to company and needs a pay rise ASAP!!

New home / property agent.

Myself and my partner recently moved into a rented home in Wokingham. Upon moving into this home, which prospect had taken over from another agency; there were just problem after problem; no hot water; no heating; no working shower; fridge freezer broke; garden fence fell down; general maintenance that needed to be done - each of these things were found out every few days.I was very stressed due to all of these problems that were arising on a daily basis and I was then assigned Melissa Fisher as my property agent, who I could contact and raise these issues with. Melissa has been nothing but actually amazing to me and my partner. Every issue that arose, she dealt with straight away, whilst always keeping in touch and liaising up to date information (even after her working hours had finished). Melissa truly went above and beyond and actioned every issue and problem that arose and was so proactive that she really took the stress off me and my partner and really understood where we were coming from with how stressful this situation was and she wanted to do everything she could to help, and she honestly really did!!! Melissa is truly an asset to Prospect. She really does care and look after their clients needs, wants and wishes. She will always go above and beyond to ensure that any issue of problem is dealt with and in a timely manner - which is of utmost importance, and it as definitely noticed when i would raise an issue or new problem and within an hour or so, Melissa was on the phone to me, or had replied back via email actioning this very problem straight away.Thank you so much Melissa for making such a stressful time, a-lot less stressful and a-lot more smoother. I honestly have nothing but praise and positive things to say about you and how you work and how you really did help me out during SUCH a stressful time!! You really are amazing!

Aimee is amazing!

Moving house is always stressful, and our move in particular definitely had its ups and downs! We had been hoping for a quick and smooth move (like everyone does) and there were a few hurdles along the way with the chain that made us consider whether it was all worth it. There was one person in particular who encouraged us to stick with it, who managed to keep things positive for us, even in the most stressful days, and that was Aimee Smith.Aimee continuously went over and above for us, answering questions, keeping communication between all parties open, being available to talk through things we were unsure of, and always remaining totally professional and kind throughout. I really believe that without her, we would not have ended up moving. Aimee is an absolute asset to the Prospect team and clearly works hard to keep clients happy and supported. Thank you so much for all you have done for us, Aimee - we really appreciate it! Rachel and Peter F-B

Melissa Fisher

I have rented from prospect for 3 years. Melissa Fisher is my property manager and she has been exceptional on every occasion I have needed her help, she always responds promptly and is very friendly, she recently helped me during a very difficult time, I was feeling under a lot of stress due to a separation and Melissa went above and beyond to help me with my tenancy renewal and changing to a single tenancy. I am very happy to have her as my property manager.

Thank Melissa for the great work!Move in to the new house a lot of stuff and repairs required. Whenever I escalated the problems needed to fix,she response promptly and follow through,until the thing done. In additional ,a follow up call and make sure the problems resolved. As a Property Manager,she did her work not only excellent but with a lot of caring and empathy. Thank God for having Prospect as my property agent and I highly recommended to my friends and someone who is looking for a professional and caring property agent.

Incredibly Helpful

My experience with Prospect is slightly unusual in that I didn't buy a house through them (as we decided to move our search further north). However, I was really impressed with Tom, who, through offering the opportunity for me to speak with his mortgage broker colleague, helped us increase our budget by 21%. This has massively impacted our ability to find a home we are excited by. I had previously gone through a highly reputable broker firm who were not able to access this sum. Tom was the only agent I spoke to who offered this service. If we were to look back in the Maidenhead area I would certainly look to work with Tom and Prospect.

A first-timer in the UK...

I moved into the UK over two months ago. In my bit to search for accommodation for my family, I met with several agents who never showed empathy for a first-timer in the UK. My experience with Anna was out of this world, she was the only agent that cared about my kids and even told me how I can arrange the room for their purpose. Because of this, I will recommend Prospect Estate Agency to others because I know that the staffs care about their clients and not just the products.

Letting my property through Prospect

I have been letting my property through Prospect for the last 7 years and have found them to be professional and easy to deal with at all times. I am not living in the UK so it is important that I have someone I can rely on and trust and my Property Manager Julie Jacobs has been just that person. Julie has been super efficient and kept me informed at all times. Julie has gone out of her way on many occasions to solve problems for me and negotiate on my behalf and always gives me balanced, professional advice and offers good solutions to any challenges. I would not hesitate to recommend Prospect and their excellent team to anyone looking to let their property.

Thoroughly Recommended

If you want to sell your home and you live in the Berkshire area, Prospect Estate Agency is the estate agents of choice without any doubt. From start to finish, all of the team in the Bracknell and Warfield offices are simply outstanding. Of particular note is Beth Murphy, Aimee Smith & Betsy Harmer. Beth was brilliant at handling communications between buyer and seller resolving all issues quickly and efficiently. As transaction support coordinators, Aimee & Betsy were superb in supporting us with solicitors queries and making sure all parties were talking to each other up and down the chain. The staff at Prospect are worth their weight in gold making this as easy and effortless as possible, always being there to support you with any queries we had. Cameron Hill and Paul Wickens also did a fantastic job on managing to sell my home within 24 hours of putting it on the market!If you ever think of going for a "cheap" online estate agent to save yourself a few bucks, don't bother as you don't get the transaction support through to completion. Prospect Estate Agency as a high street estate agent show by the way they conduct business that they are committed to providing you with the best level of service available and will actively sell your home to get the offer you need to move.Without a doubt, if you're thinking of selling your home, you should call Prospect. They are simply best in class.

Simply the best!

We have had experience with other Estate Agents in the past but the Warfield Branch of Prospect are second to none. Paul and Connor managed to secure an offer on our property within a couple of weeks. They did an awful of the work behind the scenes to ensure that the sale ran smoothly as far as we were concerned. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the Warfield branch. I can see why they have received so many awards! Thank you to Paul, Connor and the rest of the team at Warfield.

Helpful and pro-active!

I have just rented a property through Prospect Reading and have found them extremely helpful throughout. I ran into an unusual obstacle with referencing because my bank couldn't provide statements for a technical reason and Goodlord (third-party referencing company) wouldn't accept a letter saying so. The staff at Prospect were extremely reassuring and proactive in chasing a solution and keeping me updated. Whenever I had a query or wanted an update it was very easy to get in contact with someone who knew what they were talking about! I also felt they were genuinely appreciative of the potential stress for tenants seeking to secure a new property and strove to make the process as easy as possible with a very welcoming manner that was just the right balance of professional and personal. To be quite honest I was really pleasantly surprised to have this experience with a letting agency and would definitely recommend. Many thanks to Kurt, Chira and colleagues.

Chloe Reilly property manager at farnborough! Amazing!

My property manager is Chloe Reilly, based in farnborough.I would like to say how amazing and helpful she is, not only is she very responsive and efficient she is very caring of her clients needs.She went out of her way today to have a set of keys copied for my mother and met her to drop them at my request as my mother did not know the area. She really does take care of her clients and gives prospect a great name. Thank you Chloe for your continued efforts!

Really attentive, patient and helpful

Having had a lot of trouble managing to make contact with estate agents, Prospect were very helpful over the phone and organised a house viewing very quickly. Once we had viewed and made an offer they stayed in contact through the process. Aidan was particularly helpful getting us through the referral process. We struggled a bit with the app and my husband was starting a new job so getting references was tricky. Aidan was really patient and kept helping us until we'd provided everything to get approved.

I couldn't have wished for a better team helping us sell our property! Our property was on the market for less then 2 weeks! Excellent service and communication from the start and through every stage. Thanks to Aimee, Adam, Calum, Cameron, Joshua, Paul, Pippa and Roxanne. Everyone always so cheerful, very easy to communicate with, nothing was ever too much trouble, everyone so helpful. Printing off documents and dropping them off to us. So understanding with regards to someone selling a house with multiple dogs to organize. Our experience have been a very positive one!

I generally dislike dishonest agents

I generally dislike dishonest agents, and, unfortunately, I have encountered one among the letting agents in this agency. This particular agent exhibits a great deal of inconsistency in their actions, essentially taking advantage of people in the current market and attempting to coerce them into agreeing to expensive deals because he understands the rental property market. Throughout our search for properties, we have viewed several with him as the lead letting agent.During our most recent viewing, we inquired about the possibility of increasing our offer before the application. Surprisingly, they advised against it, claiming that the agency believed the advertised amount accurately represented the property's value. However, after reviewing our income and personal details, they proceeded to email me, asking if I could reconsider increasing my offer. When we declined, he proposed a more expensive property. Even after rejecting that offer as well, he informed me that the house had been offered to someone else, a friend of the landlord's. This turn of events made me question why the landlord and agency would waste people's time if they already had a friend interested. Furthermore, if the process was meant to be fair as the agent had claimed, why would they request an increase in the offer after the application had been submitted?To make matters worse, this agent continued to email me multiple times, attempting to negotiate a more expensive option. I found this behavior to be highly unprofessional and dishonest.The lack of integrity displayed by this letting agent has left me disappointed. Such actions not only tarnish their reputation but also erode trust in the industry as a whole. I hope that steps will be taken to address these issues and ensure that future interactions with letting agents are conducted with the utmost transparency and professionalism.

As a tenant

As a tenant, I highly recommend Gemma Barton for the wonderful work she does in the maintenance department. She is very effective in resolving urgent issues and we are very happy she handles our home. Just recently we had to deal with a boiler breakdown and a tripping fuse. For the former she arranged the replacement of the boiler within a couple of days and for latter she sent engineers the same day. We were very impressed and grateful. Keep up the good work, Gemma!

OUTRAGEOUS - Wow what can I say apart from what a…

Wow what can I say apart from what a horrible way to be dealt with and treated as a human being. It all started when we were first in COVID last year and did not even look at the property until I was demanded to pay the deposit unless I lost the property. I went to see it and it needed a lot of things to be done to it which I listed out to Prospects and they agreed that the work will be done including a Full DEEP Clean. I went back to the property and inspected the clean only to pull a cushion up on the sofa and find it covered in food bits and other dirt and even a dirty old sock. DEEP CLEAN EH?After still agreeing to take the property, as they had me by the balls, I moved in after visiting the branch to be handed just an envelope with 2 keys in it. No explanation of what they were. Anyway I went to the property and first of all found out where the bins were and were my mail went to which was not explained to me. The post box was damaged and no key. NICE.Then entering the property i noticed straight away that none of the things that i had asked to be done or removed had been done. SHOCKING.After several emails and calls i eventually got through to the branch manager and he apologised to me and said that he will send me some drinks for which I declined as all I wanted was a nice place to live in and what I had expected.I then after a few hours found out where my parking space was, as again I wasn't told, and also found out that you need a pass for which I wasn't given. I had to myself ring the council and PAY for the main pass and 2 visitors passes that you actually get.It has been 10 months now and STILL things are yet to be completed and they simply don't care apart from the commission they get on a monthly basis. I have been without smoke alarms since early March and still yet to be fitted even though the Electrician says it is dangerous as Health and Safety they NEED to be fitted. They were 4 years out of date.I would say around 4 sets of contractors have been out to the property to " Look at " things and they have all said that Prospect are terrible at communication to them.I still have had no real apologies and they are now demanding for me to tell them when I am moving out as they clearly are just looking to rent it again so that they get their commission again each month.Outraged is an understatement.I could name a lot of names but simply try to avoid if at all possible.Simon

Feedback on property management at Prospect

Chloe Reilly is my main interface with Prospect concerning the management of rental properties. She is pro active, takes ownership of issues and understands the concept of completed staff work. She has strong interpersonal client skills and could easily capitalise on these to build confidence and tackle the ever more challenging housing regulations facing property management in the UK. Chloe epitomises the professional culture of Prospect Estate Agency.

Thank you Prospect and its professional team in helping me finding the right property, providing with necessary referrals, and support during the transaction. Especially thanks to Aimee Smith, from Prospect Transaction Support Team, who has given me a lot of extra efforts in completing the transaction within deadline. I am an oversea buyer in which the exchange happened & completed before 31Mar has saved me additional 2% of tax. Aimee is dedicated to my case, spending extra time in communicating with more than three parties over the chain in making things happen. Well done Aimee and thanks again!! Peter
