Once I decided to move to Reading to be closer to work I had to move very quickly. Once I found a property through Parkers, the agents were very understanding and moved very quickly sorting out my references and ensuring I was in my new property in a week.
Parkers handled our house sale very efficiently and kept us well informed through every stage of the process. It was a pleasure to deal with Damien and the at the Reading branch.
Parkers offered a competitive fee and are one of the better agents when coming to sell terrace properties in central Reading. Provided a good service and kept me up to date with all viewings. My only negative is that one of the agents who showed viewings round was more a 'key holder' than someone who gave positive advice about the property if the viewer was not sure of certain facts about a property of this age e.g "this second bedroom is quite small", "well if thats the only problem then it only costs £x to take the chimney out and is easy to do". During the sale they kept the process moving at a good rate and kept me informed of everything that was going on. They also provided help in liaising with the buyers solicitors to keep the chain moving when my buyers probate was causing delays Overall a good service as I would expect from an agent selling your property
Looking for my own place in a restricted period of time, Daniel from Parkers has been extremely helpful in selecting for me a few properties to look at, all in my price range and in the appropriate location, on the very same afternoon. I ended up selecting one of them. Being foreign and for the first time renting a flat in the UK, Parkers has proven to be extremely patient with all my questions. Once the process is engaged, it seems harder to get things done for certain (I have yet to receive some paperwork and it doesn't seem the carpets have been cleaned professionally as promised), and yet the staff is always pleasant and somehow willing to help if you are persistent enough. All in all very pleased with the service, hope they keep up the good work during my tenancy!
Quick responses and provided detailed information. Kept me up to date with properties before they were on the market. Friendly staff who were very professional and helpful.
Parkers showed me more properties and variety of options with in less time. This made my life easy and I need not look at other agents. The service quality was good and they are ready to go extra mile to help customers.
The service provided was immediate, friendly, and when I bombarded them with questions, patient.
Parkers in Market Place, Reading; I am so pleased and highly recommend this estate agent. They are very hepful, well experienced staff, friendly and reliable. They know how to deal with problems straight away and give you realistic advise, very honest indeed. Keep up the good work guys!!!!
Good advice on pricing. Flat sold very quickly to a reliable buyer. No messing around with silly offers etc just a sensible and expedient transaction.
I found Parkers aftersales service quite professional. In the 1.5 years we have lived in the property, we hardly faced any issues barring a couple of occassions when we had not water. But this was given due importance the situation was re-stored very quickly after a request was made to the office. I hope Parkers give me additional discount on administrative charges when I look for a property to let next time. Overall good service. Couple of areas of improvements : 1) The adminstrative charges are exhorbitant (I cannot quite fathom being charged £400 for printing out documents, inventory checking and very less proactiveness from the sales staff) Only if this could be reduced to a more purse friendly amount. 2) Parkers did not allow any contact with the landlord, thereby introducing additional layer for any issues (although we did not face very many). But this should be more discretionary if tenants are well behaved - which was the case with us.
