Just when I thought I'd come across a good estate agent, turns out they are one of the same spoilt bunch of estate agents who are only interested in milking people out of their hard earned money. How do you explain letting out a property just one day after rejecting us? Well, that's because they had accepted 2 holding deposits which is against the law. Sad part is they will not accept their mistake so I will be taking this issue further so many other vulnerable people out there are aware of how bad they are.
The worth please in the world. Members of this group ignored me and my family
I responded to a marketing promotion for a £1000 off the sale of my two bed flat (sale fee in excess of £3000) for a completed sale. Sold (from doing the viewing myself) but voucher not honoured with Parkers saying they had already applied it, but forgot to inform me & not recorded anywhere. Rude, ignorant telephone/ emails, non apologetic & more than one staff member saying they can change the terms T's & C's whenever they like. The rules are for them not the consumer! Totally disregarded marketing laws & legislation. Trading standards became involved and the Property Ombudsman ruled in my favour. Parkers did cough up in the end. To date, still no apology from them. Would no way use again and would advise others to look around for more competitive agents who actually follow the laws of the land rather than just wanting to make a quick penny without any real heart and soul in what primarily is selling.
Constantly email spamming despite over 6 requests to stop. Clearly using bought in lists as opposed to opt-in lists as we're 160 miles away from the branches that are spamming us and we didn't sign up in the first place. Totally unprofessional, avoid at all costs.
We discuss on the phone at least 5times and you give me nothing as I told what happened, I was expected to find a solution but guess what you guys don’t care about the situation just about money,and the thing is that contract was ended in20march under what circumstances you decided to extend it for another month with me as guarantor as long as I informed you about what happened and how you extend a contract without my approval and you chose to do it again for another month SHAME ON YOU!! A agency full of SCAMMERS!!!

unprofessional, don't communicate with people, they leave things in air, they extend contracts without let the guarantor know about this I contract them at least 5 times at phone plus I been in agency and guess what nothing ,it's been more than 2months and I'm still guarantor because they decided to extend the contract witch already was extended without my approval and without them contacting me (that contract was about to expire in20 March 2022 )they extend again for another month again without my consent !!! STAY AWAY!! don't deal with this kind of people!!!
Complete and utter nightmare, tried to book a viewing for one of their properties. Was confirmed that morning and then was cancelled with only a hours notice. Again today on the same property I had a viewing booked and drove the 100 mile trip to go and see it, 20 mins before the booked slot I got a call to say it had been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances with no real apology even though I had called only 2 hours before and was told it was all confirmed, massive group of time wasters. A completely unorganised and unprofessional branch!
