Somer was absolutely fabulous throughout my sales, staying on top of things and pushing solicitors on my buyers end - she really worked hard to ensure that things worked to my timelines. I'm very grateful for the hard work that she put in and would have been much more stressed at times had she not worked so hard behind the scenes. Parkers are lucky to have you Somer :)

Parkers Reading Estate and Lettings Agents were fantastic in achieving my quick move in to a rental property on very short notice. Their team was excellent and incredibly responsive. They were there for me every step of the way and i will certainly continue to use their services. I would happily recommend to anyone wanting to move into the area. Thanks again to Mark, Rebecca and the team.

Parkers found me a new tenant for my rental within 2 weeks of it being advertised . They were very good in keeping me up to date with the progress of the tenancy , which was a refreshing change in comparison to another big Reading estate agency , who had dealt with this rental property previously. So far I have found their service professional and courteous.

I am impressed by the very professional way in which Parkers Reading progress my account from signing in as their client to getting my first tenant and then progressing my tenant from the tenancy agreement to checking-in. This is really a very disciplined and experienced organisation. And I can speak from real hands-on experience having been a landlord in the UK for close to 3 decades.

The services I received from Parkers Reading, starting from the initial sales process team with Kate Fox & following on to the sales progression team especially Somer Jones was impeccable and cannot fault them any bit; truly 5-Stars and deservedly so! They chased, followed every query, communicated at every stage, and gave me top class confidence, trust and re-assurance throughout the process.

If you are a tenant looking to rent don’t go to Parkers. Although initially they seem very good but once you enter into contract not a good experience! I rented a flat from them which turned out is owned by one of their managers :)(you can assume who would they favour) . The flat was a mess. Extreme damp and mould problems and even destroyed my furniture. Although they had a vent and extractor fan installed (after ages)later but it was of no use. Then comes the pest infestation which they blamed on the building management but there was a hole in the kitchen so not sure how it was building managements’s problem again I had to bear the financial loss and the mental trauma of it. Zero realisation from the management. End of my tenancy here comes the fun part, they sent an absolute rubbish inventory report by an “independent surveyor “ we all know how independent that is but anyways the person basically mentioned issues which were because of mould and was charging me for it, then had things like dust on top of the shower (which was always there when I got it), and charged for other ridiculous cleaning like stated above. All in all they robbed me off my deposit which is not a surprise after reading the reviews this seems like a normal practice to them. Bottomline avoid renting from them if you do then forget about your deposit.

I recently rented with Parkers and my experience with the whole process was very good and stress free. Communication was great and the process was completed efficiently and in a timely manner. Very thorough inventory schedule too. I dealt with Ruby and Rebecca and they were both helpful and responsive. Overall, the service rendered was good and is highly recommended.

A good experience

I lived in a flat managed by Parkers for 1.5 years. I found them generally helpful, and I had no issues with getting problems fixed or getting my deposit back. In particular, property manager Sophie Green was brilliant, especially in dealing with difficult situations such as problems with neighbours, and I really appreciated her efficiency and compassion

Every one at Parkers was was helpful throughout our lenghty house sale process. I would like to thank Parkers for the support, adivce and professionalism; in particular I would like to thank Somer Jones who kept us up to date throughout, was easy to get hold off, and who drove the process forward to a successful completion.
