Just terrible. I think they really enjoy the taste of boot tbh. Filter by 1 star comments to see why.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It's not exactly clear what your dissatisfaction is related to and I would like to find out what has been so 'terrible'. Please do email me directly on daniel.ashton@parkersproperties.co.uk

Absolutley digraceful agents at the Tilehurst branch and in my opinion not very ethical. Very untrustworthy and cavalier in there approach, awful communication skills and a total absence of empathy. Add rudeness and arrogance into it all and a total unpleasent experience to say the least. I was actually emailed and told by an agent that the asking price was more then shown and that I should bid accordingly. I was also told that I wasn't allowed to make further bids on a property, quote "Lets draw a line in the sand" end quote. A total disregard of respect towards buyers and any pragmatic philosophy they have towards negotiating.

Hi Hussein, Thanks for taking the time to get in touch. We are more often than not very open to genuine feedback and are constantly looking to improve. However, in this instance your review is very wide of the mark and is the sensationalised version of events of someone who just simply didn't get their way. The property in question was clearly marketed at 'Offers in excess of' £525,000, when you made your opening bid well under this it was pointed out that the client would only consider offers in excess of £525,000, as stated. Your insistence to then repeatedly try and increase your offer by tiny amounts - yet still be well under the level that the home owner would consider - eventually brought the quote 'let's draw a line in the sand' because the seller saw that through either not understanding the process or through wilful disregard you were not a realistic buyer for them and didn't wish to continue. Which is their right to do. There is nothing untrustworthy or unethical about this - as you allude to in your 'review' - it is a very normal practice when selling many things, including homes. And our marketing and selling agents were very clear about this also. If your opinion on the price is different then that is your right, however it was made clear after your first offer that the advertised 'offers in excess of' was what the owners would consider. Having read a few of your numerous other reviews of businesses, we can see you either give places 5* or 1* depending on if someone is nice to you. As much as we always want every person who we deal with to be happy, unfortunately not every offer will be deemed acceptable. Most potential buyers understand that is part of the process. I hope you can take on board this feedback and not be so rude to other companies staff in the future. I think that to we can now 'draw a line in the sand' with our relationship and we wish you luck with your search via other estate agents. All the best,

Horrible experience in trying to book viewings for different properties.

Horrible experience in trying to book viewings for different properties.Just to give you an example:In September they made us lose a property since we had an appointment booked but, on the day of the viewing, I had to call again since I hadn't received an address and they couldn't find our request.We had to book on the next available slot, but on the same day they cancelled because the property already had offers and we couldn't participate anymore. Ok, nothing to do, let's move on.In November, 2 months after, the same property comes back in the market.We call them straight away and we book an appointment for the next day.Calling them on the next day, again the booking was not saved, so I asked them to please send us an email confirming the booking.Guess what? Again the viewing, 2 days after, got cancelled.Similar to this happened with other properties, whoever is working in their offices is a real joke.Don't trust them and don't sell your houses through them.

Ok at showing you around but unprofessional over the phone. Given false estimates of previous sold prices to drive sales for their clients; showing clear unprofessional etiquette

Reply from agent

Dear Rob & Matt Thanks for your review. We feel its a little unfair given we explained quite politely why your offers would not be accepted and also why we needed financial evidence of your affordability to buy. Given you ended the call rather abruptly when we last spoke, we would quite happily have another conversation with you if you wanted to increase your offer(s) further for either property that you offered on. If you would like to discuss your grievance further, please contact the owner simon.gregory@parkersproperties.co.uk who is aware of your comments and background. Kind regards
