I was trying to sell my late mothers house through another estate agent without success. I was called on a weekly basis to list with Parkers saying that the sale needed a fresh approach. I agreed and was told we needed to drop the price by �10k. Within 2 weeks I was told we needed to drop the price by a further �15k. After another week we had an offer of �5k below this and was advised to take this. When I refused and said I wanted to withdraw the property from the market to carry out improvements to the property I was sent a bill for �300 for professional photos which I didn't notice and wasn't pointed out to me, beware of the contract small print. I have since removed to property from Parkers as I am so disgusted with the fee and the level of service. Would not waive fee but only agreed to offset against future sale, at what price?
Very large and disproportionate.

I have used this branch to let my property and then sell it. The service I received was professional, efficient and friendly. I cannot fault any of the staff I've had contact with, therefore do not want to single any one person out. When first letting there was support and encouragement, when... Read Full Review

Extremely unhelpful. Over a week ago a let by was put outside my apartment on the railings. I called and asked if this sign could be moved away from the car park as signs often get pulled down by people passing after a night on the beer, as it could cause damage to cars in the car park. I as told... Read Full Review
Moved the sign as originally promised and speak in a civil manner

Parkers are an excellent company to deal with. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and very helpful when you are working from a distance, with things such as dealing with electricians, gas maintenance engineers and meter readings, etc. I would highly recommend this company to...

Amazing is the first word that springs to mind. We lost our 1st buyers beginning Dec 2011 and Rob, Neil and Adrian worked a miracle with a new buyer within 3 days of putting our house back on the market Dec 2011. They also pushed all parties to ensure the deal was completed asap and by 31st Jan... Read Full Review

We owe these guys a BIG thankyou. They made what can be a very stressful time literally pain free. Despite acting on their clients behalf they offer fair, friendly advice to help the transaction from both thier clients (the sellers) and our (the buyers) point of view. I knew if I had any...

I found Rob, Neil and their General Manager, Adrian, a pleasure to work with. We didnt want a 'For Sale' sign outside our house but they presented and marketed our house well, keeping us fully informed of their plans. Whilst they found our eventual buyer for us, it was a long slow job before the... Read Full Review

I had a long and tortuous house-selling process, and throughout this Neil, Rob and Adrian behaved with the most exceptional competence and good sense. Neil and Rob in particular were conspicuous for the following: 1. Updating me of progress at regular intervals, and consulting with me at every... Read Full Review

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
