I have no idea how it is possible to make a straight forward landlord-to-landlord purchase as lengthy as this. Nine months for a simple, no-chain flat purchase, with funds in place and ready to go. As the buyer, I probably did benefit from the appalling pictures used to advertise the place though,... Read Full Review

Was a tenant with Parkers for a number of years. Avoid this company at all cost. The property was let to us in a horrific state and the property manager failed to respond on a number of occasions. When the property moved from Samuel James to Parkers, they lost the keys on the move over and we had... Read Full Review

Totally unprofessional. Did not turn up to viewing after making appointment. Didn't even bother to call. Finally called back 2 days later and got the wrong name and asked how the viewing went. Totally clueless. There are much better estate agents in Reading so I would definitely avoid... Read Full Review

I was handed over a stinking, moldy extremely unhygienic property. Moreover despite of explaining the problem several times, I am hardly getting any solution. These guys are not even ready to accept their mistake and just leaving me and my family to... Read Full Review

Nothing was too much trouble. Once the sale was done, Somer worked tirelessly to liaison and chase up the progress with solicitors. I cannot thank Parker's enough, they changed a mundane task into a brilliant experience. Very special thanks to Kate and... Read Full Review

I was a tenant who paid the checkin chages, but got the house in a shabby conditions with a 70page report of all the issues. The basic health and safety was compromised and there was no inspection carriedout. My kids fell sick because of dust and mould in the house and no one in parkers cared about ... Read Full Review

We purchased our first rental property through Parker's over 10 years ago and have remained with them as our letting agents ever since. We have always found their service extremely prompt and efficient, dealing with any issues between Tenant/s and Landlord without delay. Sophie is always a... Read Full Review

We rented a flat through Parkers and stayed for two years as we paid relatively low rent for Reading. The initial letting process was easy though the fees were expensive (with an extra charge tacked on to what we were initially told it would be when we went to Market Place branch to pay). The flat...

When I first started renting with Parkers they seemed pretty good but over the years their standards have definitely slipped. They took far too long to carry out repairs. I spent two weeks in the middle of winter without a working boiler (and I had a 17 month old baby at the time). I wasn't... Read Full Review

I recently used Parker's to sell my property. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. I found them to be honest, pragmatic and very efficient. They know the Reading market well, gave me sound advice on the valuation and managed visits with minimal fuss and much courtesy. Post... Read Full Review

My house was taking a long time to sell and Parkers approached us to assist. On initial contact the context given by their representative was regarding entering into a joint agency agreement with the other agent, and that's what we understood we were entering into. Whether intentionally done... Read Full Review

We have been landlords with Parkers Lettings for some time now. Having just registered a new property for letting with them I am again really pleased with the service Mark Brooker and his team have given. They were efficient and realiable offering guidance and advice at every stage. The whole... Read Full Review

Absolutely dreadful company to rent with. I moved in to one of their properties with my partner last year and it wasn't exactly a fantastic standard... scuffs on the walls, chipped door frames, the cover for the extract fan came out and hit me on the head. However we were hopeful as we were told at ... Read Full Review

This is not a good agent I would advise prospective tenants and landlords to stay away from them. They remind me of little Apprentice candidates in there Top Man suits with that awful I am a ruthless little businessman attitude . They try to intimidate with faux law, when you ask them what law...

I have rented with a few agencies before I bought my house and Parkers was the worst in an average low quality community. I was not happy with them during the tenure of my contract but the worst came when I told them I was not renewing. We agreed they could bring people to see the house during the ... Read Full Review

Arrogant and completely self-serving. Parkers listed a property I was interested in, but when I called to arrange a viewing it was confirmed I was not allowed to as I had sold through Purple Bricks. When I challenged this it was down to purple bricks never complete. Again I challenged and was... Read Full Review

Sophie is not a professional in her approach to handling issues which is rather sad. I have decided not to bother contacting her with any issues I have as she lacks empathy and is not helpful. Her people skills are very poor. I shouldn't be saying this but Matt Brooker is only agent who thinks and ... Read Full Review

Parkers reading agents are not good agency to search for room. Staff are not helpful at at all and their are very high not good for any one to go... Read Full Review

Absolutely extortionate fees that are repeatedly asked for at every opportunity from tenants, including over £100 for a tenancy renewal and hundreds of pounds in admin fees at the start an end of a tenancy. No willingness to consider reasonableness or fairness of these fees and some of... Read Full Review

Years back Parkers had a terrible reputation in Reading. Having spoken to three prospective estate agents re the sale of my property and not being happy with any of them, I took my daughters advice and tried Parkers, who she had used successfully 2 years ago. Ben Mitchell seemed to be honest... Read Full Review
