Parkers Reading Office - Super efficient

Parkers Reading Office have been looking after the rental on our town centre flat for us and have done so in a very efficient and professional manor. Ruby is our contact who always keeps us up to date and replies to any of our questions or queries extremely quickly. I would highly recommend Parker’s to handle your rental and also Ruby as your contact.

Thanks for your work, in the end house has been sold which was the target, but later than expected. My experience to sell our house with Parkers Reading, and in particular dealing with Harry has been a rollercoaster. A mix of bad luck, having had two times agreed offers and both pulling out of the process, and Harry and Co being more reactive than proactive with the sale and marketing. I felt had to keep asking for updates, how was the market, why we were not getting views, what else we could do to market it and to get interest, all the plan and initiatives came from me asking/ proposing to them, more than them calling me and telling the plan they had. Only after me pushing hard and mentioned I was thinking to leave to another agent and asking for an honest conversation with Harry, he and team found another round of potential buyers and one of them was the final one. If i can suggest something for Parkers to improve is: share with your client the actual weekly plan you have to market the house, and add something different each week, dont stick to same plan if you not getting offers over. That gives reassurance to the your customers as well as sell to sell house quicker.

I sold a flat in Reading with Parkers

I sold a flat in Reading with Parkers. It was a very painful experience, but not because of them. Hence my overall rating at 4. I would like to mention 2 shiny stars that helped me a lot in the process: Bernadette Martin and Damien Glowacky. They both get a 5+.

Been in the rental business for over 30 years with properties all over UK, and Parker’s have been managing 3 of my Reading Flats for over a decade and have always been professional and responsive…a big shout out to Sophie. Just as many landlords I decided early 2023 to sell up and was glad to see the sales team (Harry & Co.) were just as good at marketing and selling all 3 even in such challenging times. Damien was also great and ensured any issues were dealt with quickly when it came to progressing the sale, also keeping me informed throughout. Bottom line, I have dealt with many agents across UK and rank Parker’s Reading as one of the best all round. Sarju

Located in the town center. The employees are welcoming, professional and responsive. As an issue with one of their Vendors was raised during the tenancy process, they have been flexible and agreed to take care of everything. Also, when I visited, the place was occupied by the tenant and it was rather dirty and messy. However, as they are always leaving two weeks between the tenancies, a full professional cleaning has been done and I found it in a very good shape when I moved in. Finally, due to the COVID, the check-in is done via email so the agency sent me many pictures of the studio, spotting what is already damaged to protect me from future complaints. My contract only started recently but I hope our relationship goes on this way.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Lovely on the phone and in the office but every viewing ive been to with this agency has been awful and badly prepared. If its not the agent having the wrong keys for the property, its the agent not having the information booklet for the property, with all the info you actually need. My advice is to look elsewhere for lettings

Dear Parker, The customer service given was marvellous, and all of the staff members were all friendly and obliging. The process of buying the house was also smooth and efficient. I would like to thank Lizzi, one of the property management team, who guided and directed us throughout the documentation process. Even during off working hours, she continued to help us. Which shows her passion in helping customers. And Dami, who escorted us through the documents needed for the conveyancing. While assisting us in understanding the importance of documents smoothly and proficiently, which helped us quicken our process of buying the property. Lizzi, Dammi, Harry, sam and the rest of the staff members have our sincere gratitude. Thanks a lot!

Amazing experience with Ruby

I have had a seamless experience with Ruby heading up my recent letting she has been absolutely fantastic with all my questions and come back every time above and beyond even to the extent of helping me get in a day earlier than originally scheduled due to van availability! Ruby was super helpful with every query that I had. I would definitely recommend Ruby to anyone that is looking to rent. A very easy, supportive and superb service given in what has been a very difficult time for me. Thank you very much Ruby! - Michael

Harry and Damien were very helpful. Jumped on any issues across the full chain. Fantastic communication, honest, factual, to the point, through out the process, particularly from Harry who went above and beyond, picked up phone most of the times and when they didn’t , they got back within a couple of hours. Emails were responded to in timely manner too. Harry was our one point of contact at Parkers which was sooo helpful, unlike others in the chain. Would highly recommend Harry and his team at Parkers . Well done team 👏🏽

A year ago I left a 5 stars review (partly bc they asked me so), because the sales team was great and things went pretty smoothly. However, after I moved in everything became a bit of a nightmare. It always takes them so long to fix things, it even took them more than half a year to send people to fix the toilet, and it’s still not fixed and I still have to deal with stuck toilet occasionally just because it doesn’t flush. Also they have been a nightmare when I try to negotiate with the landlord, refusing my request to communicate with the landlord. The letting director has been rude after I asked a few more questions instead of just taking what they offered, can’t even write his email in a professional and polite way. Definitely won’t recommend.

I found the property well-presented and liked the active conversation with the estate agent, Zach unlike other boring agents who just opens up the door and do nothing. I also wanted to mention that he was very well informed about the property and provided all the key information needed, which made the viewing smooth and informative.
