UPDATE 06 Feb 2020: one month since I reported water leak rotting ceiling and window frame, no actions taken. This Friday it'll be three people/contractors who've come and visited the property and provided quotes to each of the agencies, one being Parkers. Basically, if you can avoid renting that's great, if you can't PLEASE don't use Parkers they're one-way traffic. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Also note: if you can learn from my experience it's great, I'm sure when I leave my property they'll (Parkers) be as brutal and unreasonable as possible to squeeze every penny from us (they work for money and Landlords pay them) BUT if these reviews can make you aware of letting agencies, I'd say my effort is not wasted. ----------------------------------------------------- I've been a long term tenant with Parkers, they're a mixed bag to be honest. Positive: If you report an issue they'll spring into action and get it fixed, Bravo! Things I don't like include: they push hard and early to get tenancy contract renewed. If you want something replaced or change - best of luck! monthly property visits are one way traffic - they'll never find something wrong with the property only designed to investigate if you've done something to the property. Good thing: for a price you can get everything, I wanted a letter for my wife, charged me £60 pounds which will be adjusted against referencing fees, it's just a letter I'll pay referencing don't have to be like that. I think in all fairness Parkers letting is there to support landlords more than tenants, I don't blame them, they make money from landlords not us. I am a long term tenant with Parkers so have tried to keep the above objective.

In response to your updated review, I would like to provide further detail on this issue experienced and the action taken by Parkers. Before we could go ahead with the works, we had to allow time for the leak damage to fully dry. We then had to obtain 2 x repair quotes for the owner of the flat above, who was the one covering the cost of the repair and we then had to wait for the funds to credit our account in order to settle the invoice upon receipt. We have kept you fully updated throughout the process and I have been informed by the contractor that repairs took place this morning. Unfortunately, repairs of this nature can take time to resolve and given the fact the source of the issue came from another flat which is not managed by Parkers, we acted as quickly as possible. Should you wish to discuss the matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Mark Brooker, Lettings Director 0118 957 5455
