All good reviews seem to be a new experience with Parkers. Try them for 2 + years and say. I have had years of experience with Parkers Reading. Like most, I cannot afford huge rent rises in last years fobbing you off with excuses as to why for average size property without garden, away from town and not efficient in gas/electric as costly and lots of condensation in winter. In fact they concealed the mould problem before I have moved in, corrected later a bit but not fully. I have worked in facilities for years. Basically if you dont insulate house fully and dont have efficient heating system as maybe valves need changing or there is sludge in heaters, then flat gets dump. They would not bother as time is working somehow. Be aware and make your own decision. They will force you to leave, threat with notice if you do not pay ridiculous rent raise against your contract and if it doesnt work, they will give notice. But not to worry, I rather add more money to bigger and better property. I only wanted the price a bit down but asking over £100 a month more, that`s not OK. Regarding repairs if something is not totally dead, they will wait till it gives last breath and dies on you. One time I was asked to fill up bath daily because scaly electric shower was giving too hot water as was blocked and could burn me. For them I had hot water then why changing. Eventually they did. Parkers all this has emails evidence and reports so no need to say that you have had good reviews. Once I finish being busy, will take you to Ombudsman so you can explain how you had dealt with me. My advice to all is, get better jobs people to get more independent, as these agents know that there are too many people but not enough of houses and think they won with bullying tactics. I will update my review after check out and see if this at least looks fair. Some people state it is not. Parkers be aware that you do periodic inspections that you need to pick up things yourself too. Either way we will see this one. Response as per 16.8.2024- I am not making this review for you to do something as we are done talking, but making this review as free speech right for people to be aware, so they can decide what to do.
