The photos of the advertisements are very exaggerated. They must be taken when the house was refurbished, also they are using special camera lenses to show the property larger than the reality. There are huge difference between the reality and photos. It is waste of time to arrange vieng and spending resources. I am sure noone buys house from the adv photos.

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.

Sometimes competent, but forget to turn up to their own viewings and also spring hidden fees on you at the last moment.

They were all nice but when I went to put down my deposit they told me I had to have a guarantor or 6 months rent in advance as it was my first house of my own and rubbish cred score due to mistakes with telecoms in past I said I couldn't have a guarantor not possible not everyone is going to be able to afford 6 months upfront or have a guarantor so what your going to take all there deposits too and not give it back even though you mentioned nothing of costs for signing a contract

Frustrated as I was told over the call by Sam R that the washing machine at the property also had dryer after which I confirmed. Later he conveniently forgot and I am stuck with drying laundry at home resulting in bad living experience.
