I’ve rented with a total of 5 lettings agents and never have I been met with such incompetence, negligence, and apathy as when I rented with Parkers. They are incredibly hard to get a hold of, and when they do finally answer the phone, they are rude and patronising. They ask to send documents which you’ve previously given them and do all they can to suck any money out of you without an ounce of empathy. If I ever have to rent again or am in the fortunate enough position to rent out a property myself, Parkers would be the very last company I choose. Frankly, I hope someone takes over the management and teaches them all a lesson in good customer service.

"Totally..."

Totally unprofessional. Did not turn up to viewing after making appointment. Didn't even bother to call. Finally called back 2 days later and got the wrong name and asked how the viewing went. Totally clueless. There are much better estate agents in Reading so I would definitely avoid Parkers.

Don't rent from them. They will help landlord to rip you off. I have met few agencies. Parkers is surely the worst so far. Especially if one day they have a house came up in Redlands area. Landlord is a cheap mean old man and he and Parkers treat tenant disrespectfully. And rip you off when you move out.

enquired about properties twice with Parkers and never had a response.

as a tenant, avoid avoid using Parkings. We rented a house for many years and it was old and run down. We chose for the location. Big mistake. The landlord told me he doesn't want Parkers to manage it as Parkers charges 15% management fee. But during the years he failed maintain the house. He is very old and been in hospital a lot. Most time can't reach him and he didn't want to spend a penny to repair things. So the windows (single glazed old wooden) got moulded. Mould on the ceilings and walls. I did everything to clean it but the mould left stains. Kitchen cupboards broken...the landlord was very rude when I reported issues. Siad he had trouble understand me. Although Parkers didn't make fee from him, they are on his side. Someone called mark called me very aggressive said we trashed the house. Yet he didn't care the landlord never cared to look after the house. For 8 years things will get worn. Carpets were old at the beginning and they expected they are the same after those years? What a joke. Before we were moving, parkers sent someone to take photos try to prove we didn't look after the house. We were packing why did I bother to tidy stuff? After we moved out, Parkers found some contractor, to do the cleaning, and rubbish removal. I would say the contractor ripped the landlord off. Firstly the invoice isn't detailed, only gave a figure. Secondly, it's way too much for professional cleaning and a bit rubbish removal. I guess the reason Parkers on the landlord s side is that they can rip more money from the landlord. He is not capable of doing the works for the house,that gives the opportunity to them to rip him off. Very despicable agent.
