6 letting agents in Caversham

Put an offer to rent a house at list price and was told offer would be put to the landlord. Waited 4 working days for a response to be told another offer was accepted. Clearly taking advantage of the current market to make potential tenants battle for available properties. For context, put in another offer with a different agent and was accepted same day.

Looking for a rent in a different city is always a challenge. My agent, Anais Payne, from Romans Lettings, has helped me through this process. She gave me the information that I needed at the right time. She has been very professional in this special pandemic time, a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend to contact her and the agency whenever in need of a nice place to stay!

I would also like to thank Megan as she is really helping me with arranging maintenance for my tenants whilst I am out of country and is doing a great job. Thanks Megan! Jess has been assisting me in renting out my house in Caversham. She has done an incredible job in first finding tenants and then ensuring that everything was finalised and arranged. She even helped in making sure the house was clean and ready for the tenants. I work overseas and so have been unable to return to the UK but Jess has handled everything better than I could! A fantastic service, thanks very much Jess

My partner and I would highly recommend Romans, having recently purchased our first house. The team was very responsive and helped a considerable amount with the process! A big thank you to Karl & Lewis.

I had a pleasure to meet Jess and she has guided us through the services Romans provides for the landlords. She dealt with any queries we had in a very professional way and I was impressed with high quality customer service she offered. She is very committed in what she does and adds great value to Romans team. She replied to our questions very quickly and professionally. I also feel, I need to mention she is a very friendly and easy to talk person and I'm so pleased I had a chace to meet her. Thank you Jess.

They are not professional, rented out an illegal shed as part of a HMO for accommodation. The draft contract they send you is incorrect and they do not tailor it until last minute... but if you signed and it is legally binding. They say all bills included, even TV license, later when you rent a room they say it is your responsibility... why can’t they just say that it is per room to declare and pay? They arrange house checks too early, didn’t let us know if someone comes around to do some work in the communal area (which should be best practice). They wanted to charge me check-out fee, which they then said is a badly worded fee, but for some other admin. Managed to wave it... they refused to mitigate with landlord about early termination and misrepresented law about my tenancy rights just to please their landlord. They need professional training for sure.

Mark and the team helped make the stressful process of selling so much easier. They provided excellent communication about viewings, honest feedback and good advice. Special thanks to Gareth , whose patience and good humour was seemingly endless!

Gareth provided the best experience thus far we have had with our interactions with local estate agents.

Great 360 degrees service. A real gem in e Estate Agents that really adds value time and time again. Refreshingly honest

Very friendly team at NEA Caversham. Good communication over phone and email, and when I had to go into the office to collect keys the team were very friendly (noting my Welsh accent and wishing me a happy St David's day, as well as sharing a Welsh cake with me!!). Estate agents can have a reputation for being a bit soulless, but NEA very helpful and friendly from the outset.

These guys have given me nothing but incredible service. Always super friendly, helpful and attentive. I once locked myself out of my house with no phone or keys, in the pouring rain, and they let me stay in their office for 2 hours, gave me a cup of tea and then drove me to my land lady as soon as she was home, so I could pick up the spare key. Top notch.

Great service from Martin&Co Caversham. The team have been very friendly and supportive throughout the tenancy. Special thanks to Charlotte for her great service in helping me recover a personal item.

I have been very impressed by everyone at Martin & Co Reading Caversham whilst renting a flat through them. They have been extremely helpful throughout my tenancy. They are quick to respond and take action when needed. In particular, Charlotte my property manager is a star and very thankful for all her help and support. Also, Lynn has been brilliant, always super friendly and helpful when I see her at my flat. Highly recommend this lettings & estate agents.

Excellent, helpful service throughout the whole process of renting a property. Friendly initial phone call, viewing arranged at late notice the same day and then experienced guidance through the application process, taking time to explain things that were new to me as a first time private tenant. Thank you so much Sean and team.

Martin & Co have been absolutely fantastic. They've been really friendly and helpful throughout the start of our tenancy. James in particular has changed his schedule on several occasions to accommodate us, and has been quick to respond to all our questions and concerns. When we requested that some work be carried out, everything was fixed by the time we returned from our holiday 10 days later. Best letting agent I've come across.

I don't recommend this agency at all. If you are renting a house with them, make sure you have pictures for everything in the house and also proof with emails in case you complain about the damage otherwise they will never give your deposit back.

Second time trying to rent with this estate agency,extremely unprofessional and rude

We have been using Walmsley Estate Agents now for many years firstly to sell our main home and secondly to manage the letting of our flat in Caversham. The Lettings team have done an excellent job, we've always found them supportive and efficient with a polite "can do" approach. We would have no hesitation in recommending Walmsley to our family and friends. Pete and Julia Blake.
