Professional service, kept fully informed and Parkers were completely transparent about the house purchasing process. Was good to get a weekly update call from them, even if there had been no significant progress to report. Definitely would recommend them for house purchase.
Overall good estate agent. I would reccomend to new landlords/investors since they will advise you in advance of any risks and try to get the best for your money.
Hi Damien, Amy, We formally completed our purchase yesterday and got our keys. Tons of Thanks to you and your team for really really quick & hassle-free processing. With your responsive chasing-up and friendly approach, we were able to complete the purchase quickly even though the seller was unwell for more than a month. I really loved working with you and would like to continue our relation for my future purchases as well( BTL - with in Months :) ) We owe our smiles when we opened doors to our First home to your professionalism. Thanks you very much,
We did not have an especially easy sale (not due to Parkers, but matters out of their control). I found Damien very helpful and friendly on the phone. However, a number of other parties in the chain commented that their calls to him were not always being returned in a timely manner, and that - in a time pressured situation - that he was not exhibiting much of a sense of urgency. I sometimes found that I would have liked more updates, even if it was a "there is still no news but we are waiting for X to respond". A number of times I had to chase to get an update on the situation. However, I reiterate, I found the service on the whole good.
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.
