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

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

They have always stayed in very regular contact with us and made renting out our property as stress free as possible and then... Read Full Review

I have been dealing with Parkers - Market Place in Reading for quite a few years in the purchasing and letting of BTL's. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Parkers has always shown a lot of dedication.

Terrible experience from the offset with three viewings at the same time and no back garden keys! I would warn all perspective customers to not put down an admin fee until a contract is in place. NEVER PAY THE ADMIN FEE UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE YOU MOVE IN. Parkers are not willing to refund unless... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

If Mark had the decency to call and explain rather than almost take pleasure in taking £900 from a customer. He didn\'t even try, in fact his emails were rude. My legal representative said I have an even stronger case because of his lack of etiquette. Its a shame as one bad apple brings down a whole team. Could of been such a different outcome.


Comments on Agent Fees

I still do not understand why I was asked to pay both admin and holding at same time. I wouldn\'t do it again, and any holding fee I put down I will make sure ALL or part is refundable. Totally unreasonable to take an admin fee of a customer when they haven\'t commenced referencing or letting contract. Bonkers and after investigation not normal practise.

We are tenants and they are terrible. They give no notice about visits to our house (i.e. gas man / work men / house viewings) which leaves us in a awkward position when strangers walk through the door. At the beginning of the contract they got everything wrong, from typos in key contract terms... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

- Tell us when you plan on letting people access our property - Stop being insistent that certain items are tenant obligations without even checking the contract
