This was by far the worst estate agents we had to deal with. We were under pressure to rend a house unfortunately and didn't have time to investigate them properly. The Theale staff in particular are extremely unpleasant (once you have signed the contract). They do not respect their contract clauses and would do all they can to steal money from your deposit at the end of the tenancy. They do 3 month inspections which are a total harassment and waste of time. At the end of our tenancy they insisted we clean the property and carpets professionally yet we have always taken great care of the property. We called in professional cleaners and provided receipts to the agency but they came back saying we haven't used professional cleaners and that they property was domestically cleaned, despite the reference from a reputable cleaning company! This has resulted in them "stealing" our money in order to "clean the property again" so we lost 50% of our deposit in the end. They really are a terrible agency and I would strongly recommend against using them

Hi Wendy
I would be very interested to look into this further for you. Finding it very hard understand which property you are talking about as we have tried to trace your name and cannot find anything. Also the circumstances you mention have not occurred in our Theale office. Bearing in mind the office only opened in June last year and our minimum contract is for 6 months we have only had our first move out last month which went very smoothly.

I also don't believe our quarterly inspections should be deemed as harassment. This is a report provided to our landlords to inform them their property or investment is being looked after properly and any letting agent providing a fully managed service should do likewise however we understand many don't bother.

we have not had any records of complaints and any complaints made would be looked into thoroughly by a director. May I suggest you contact me directly to discuss this further and perhaps if this is a genuine complaint I can try and resolve this for you.

Kind regards

Simon Gregory - Director - Parkers Estate Agents

Hi gemma We have kept you updated since you have been on the market with us and have given you the statistics on how many website hits your property had received. The property went on to the market at nearly £9,000 more than what we had valued the property at as you had higher valuations from other estate agents. We advised you to drop the price as we were not receiving interest at the price you requested to market at, which you then agreed at a later date. With regards to the fee ...
