My experience with Parkers has been good both as a buyer and a landlord. The team's communication is clear, prompt and professional. My latest interaction has been with the lettings team for a fully managed property over the last 20 months. The team is always on top of everything providing a reliable service. I would recommend Parkers highly. Special shout out to Rebecca, Deborah, Karen, Holly, Sophie and Mark!.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Mark has been very efficient, he has contacted me in in very good time and I am very grateful for their professionalism. From viewing to moving in will have been less than a month.

I would like to commend Mark Brooker , the lettings Director for his professionalism , advice and help to get our property on the market as well as securing a tenant so quickly. He was quick to get back to us when needed to sort out any issues. His excellent knowledge of the market and his understanding of what needs to be done to secure the asking price proved invaluable . Very impressive -thanks Mark. Glad we chose Parkers.

Terrible experience from the

Terrible experience from the offset with three viewings at the same time and no back garden keys! I would warn all perspective customers to not put down an admin fee until a contract is in place. NEVER PAY THE ADMIN FEE UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE YOU MOVE IN. Parkers are not willing to refund unless you threaten legal action.I stood my ground and instead of losing £900 I got back £700. Really rude chap by the name of Mark, I actually got great pleasure in our email war. Bottom line is if they try to take a FULL NON REFUNDABLE deposit off you; they said pay admin and holding fee together. They shouldn't be doing this. I then changed my mind on the property after second viewing as garden and lean too were dire (they didn't have the full set of keys on first time) to be told I would lose all my monies paid £900 and the landlord doesn't have to clean as the deal has been 'tied up'. This gives you an idea of the type of sales outfit they are running - 'tied up' what legal term is that!! So I sought legal advice and I was right, Mark was wrong. Parkers have no right to keep £900 of my money, only a proportion towards costs incurred. You can ask for your data file and see the work they have done to date on your application. Can you imagine if I didn't fight this! I would be £900 lighter. If the deposit/holding fee is kept and you do not take the property they cannot keep 100% of the whole amount unless they have accrued costs. Basically if the sum you have paid is more than Parkers/landlord losses they shouldn't be double profiting. When talking to other letting agents they were SHOCKED at the TERRIBLE service I had received. I paid my monies in good will and told I wouldn't my £900 holding fee and admin fee back. Mark needs to understand contracts and commercials; in fact the tenancy application form needs rewriting! Its completely non water tight and was laughed at by my contracts team. Hence why I wasn't standing down. I would highly recommend not to use Parkers or snooty Mark who is far from courteous! Moreover, the email war was so funny when Mark had to ask his boss for permission and made an offer of 50% of what I had paid, had the cheek to try and call my bluff. Saying if I wasn't willing to accept their offer then he would pass me on complaints procedure!! Been laughing all day in the office as I have already contacted the TPO to log a formal complaint!! Oh well all is well that ends well and I'm spreading the word fast. DO NOT USE PARKERS. Love social mailbox which hits 2,500 people. I hope my message gets out there. Oh and Thanks Parkers for the experience, you should learn a lesson from this as I have!

When we wanted to let our

When we wanted to let our property, we approached Parkers and found their service to be professional, thorough and speedy. Even when prospective tenants dropped out on us, Parkers had the property back on the market immediately and found new future tenants the same day. Mark worked hard to arrange viewings and liased with us, the neighbours and previous tenants politely and professionally. We were always updated of the progress of marketing the property virtually on a daily basis. I would recommend Parkers to those landlords/landladies looking to let in the Reading area.

Good sevice service

Good sevice service generally, but some things could have been better. Occasionally feedback and messages took a little longer than I would have liked to be passed along. However for the most part, the servce generally was good. I must also mention a slight fiasco with some new keys supplied by the Agent. They did not work and I could not access the property. As it turned out they had not been checked properly. However after consultation I was compensated for this. During the late stages on the Sale, when things kept hitting blocks, Damien was very good at progressing the sale, I was grateful for his professionalism dealing with the situation..

Parkers offered a competitive

Parkers offered a competitive fee and are one of the better agents when coming to sell terrace properties in central Reading. Provided a good service and kept me up to date with all viewings. My only negative is that one of the agents who showed viewings round was more a 'key holder' than someone who gave positive advice about the property if the viewer was not sure of certain facts about a property of this age e.g "this second bedroom is quite small", "well if thats the only problem then it only costs £x to take the chimney out and is easy to do". During the sale they kept the process moving at a good rate and kept me informed of everything that was going on. They also provided help in liaising with the buyers solicitors to keep the chain moving when my buyers probate was causing delays Overall a good service as I would expect from an agent selling your property

I have used Parkers to rent

I have used Parkers to rent out a property in Reading. From the first visit to the property and throughout the rental period they have proven to be efficient, accurate and a pleasure to deal with. From finding tenants to organising gas checks and any maintence requirements they have been excelent. A special mention must go to Sophie Green who has handled any day to day requirements to a very high standard. I would not consider another rental agent .

I recently had a great experience with Ruby from Parkers. She was always quick to get back to me through emails to answer any questions when I reached out to her. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to resolve my issue quickly and efficiently. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly seemed to care about helping me. I’m very impressed with the level of service I received from Parkers and I definitely recommend Parkers. Thank you, Ruby for providing such excellent customer service! Dee

My experience with Parkers has been relatively good in the recent years however this time I have noticed a huge improvement in their service. This of course is very welcomed given an increased competition in the housing/ lettings market and also the Pandemic. I dealt with Becca and Ruby in Reading and they are both very nice, responsive and "hands on" anytime I had enquiries. Thank you!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Parkers provided good advice from the start. Property was placed onto the market at the correct price - without making false promises. After a number of viewings they found me a really good buyer. They kept the transaction on track until the successful end. I would definately use again.

Excellent service from Parkers in Reading. As first time buyers we had a lot of questions and concerns about the whole process, but the agents really helped put our mind at rest. They were incredibly helpful, friendly and professional throughout, providing fast responses to our calls and emails and regular updates on progress. I recommend their services highly and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Although all the staff were very helpful, thanks in particular go to Damien.
