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.

Hi Michal, We're sorry to see this issue - we instructed Reading Heating and continued to chase for updates and confirmations on an arranged visit to sort out this issue. We received confirmation that they had been in contact and booked a visit to resolve the situation, which has occurred. We always aim to assist our tenants as much as we possibly can, and with this situation we were waiting on a third party. We would be happy to discuss this with you in more detail and hope you will reconsider the 1* review. Thanks, Parkers

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.

Hi Yvonne, thank you for sharing your feedback, we set a high standard for ourselves, and hearing that these were not met in your interaction with Parkers is extremely unfortunate, and I apologise that your experience did not meet the expectations. This is an extremely rare occasion where this situation has happened and we have taken steps to investigate it thoroughly and since introduced measures to ensure it does happen moving forward. We were fully compliant with all discussions involving the Property Ombudsman and Trading Standards - during this process there was no mention or outcome of Parkers being struck off - and then applied the discount/refund following the outcome of the review.

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.

Hi Jayson, my apologies that there has been an issue with the communications. Looking through our records, it looks as though you were originally registered with Parkers Tilehurst and not Reading, as they are not part of our team, I cannot look further into the details of this issue. I have sent them an email requesting to check their database and comms history for more information.

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!!!

Hi Calin - we have reviewed the case in mention, and we believe this review to be unjust. We were in the process of removing you as guarantor and registering a replacement when the request came through from the tenants and yourself - since, however, the tenants you are representing have served the contractually agreed two months' notice. We have been in discussion with you on this since the request came through. We are happy to explain the situation and the current process in more detail.

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!!!

Hi Calin - we have reviewed the case in mention, and we believe this review to also be unjust. We were in the process of removing you as guarantor and registering a replacement when the request came through from the tenants and yourself - since, however, the tenants you are representing have served the contractually agreed two months' notice. While the notice is being served - this is a statutory periodic - a standard process. We have been in discussion with you on this since the request came through. As mentioned in the Google review, we are happy to explain the situation and the current process in more detail - 0118 957 5455

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!

Hi Jamie, I'm sorry to see the one-star review. Unfortunately with this property, certain factors are outside of our control. We 100% understand the frustration however, and our team have booked you in for a viewing that we endeavour to go ahead.
