Avoid at all costs

I strongly urge anyone to check their google reviews which shows Readings agents true colours and not here. I have them the benefit of the doubt but learnt the hard way. As a buyer you will come to learn that readings are very rude and pretty incompetent. My mortgage broker, our surveyor, even other estate agents have experienced their impoliteness and all seem to know about their bad reputation. We were in the process of buying with them and got a home buyers report done which came back with major safety risks plus the property was valued less than offered, - apparently to them electrical standards, gas, and everything you could think of is 'minor'. Given that they weren't going to offer any reduction whilst threatening to put the property back on the market several times by voicemail- we told them we weren't pulling out and wanted to get a builder/electrician in to understand the cost of fixtures. They didn't reply to me, put the property on the market the next day and have now sold it to someone else without telling us. You will notice they put properties on the market, without any floorplans, EPCs, it really is just about getting the most commission and doing the bare minimum with them. Our solicitors had completed everything on our side yet 3 months down the line nothing was completed by their side but the moment we mentioned our report to them they were calling me all throughout the working day threatening to put our property back on the market if they didn't hear from me within 2 hours. Apologies for the lengthy review - I could actually go on! I'm not even one to give a bad review but they really are liars and all I want to do is give a pre warning to anyone dealing with them. I just wish I could warn the people buying the property we were going for.

Forget national agents stick with independents Readings

Finally my house went through after a difficult chain,but throughout the experience Readings were helpful,understanding and above all totally professional.I mainly dealt with Liz (who i originally brought house through) and in the 4 years difference between the 2 transactions she was so helpful and 2nd to none.Once again thankyou so much and if anyone is pondering selling with a national agent 4get it and go with an independent like Readings.You wont find a better service.

Lovely local Estate Agent

Lovely local Estate Agent. I've used them twice to sell houses and they've been first class. Liz knows the local housing market extremely well and has her finger on the pulse. The whole team are friendly and very approachable, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Readings were excellent throughout the whole process (especially Liz)! Their tenacity to move things along quickly, clear communication and experience helped our sale. Always very helpful as well and recommend us a really good solicitor for sale/purchase. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Fantastic service received..very happy with my purchase

I have recently purchased one of my property through Readings Estate Agent, the staff were extremely helpful and professional, shown great curtesy. The communications was very good and prompt replies always. Overall received fantastic service, will definitely recommend others to approach them for properties in regards to both sales and letting. There was no pressure from them when it came to putting forward my offer or not, it was easy and calm dealing with Lee Reading, Thanks to everyone there, all the very best. Ali Kawser & M.

Fantastic local estate agent

We have bought and sold property though readings property services on two separate occasions now and they have been great to deal with both times, from valuation, arranging viewings, answering questions and making us feel comfortable when selling and buying, Nothing is too much trouble for this very welcoming, trustworthy and enthusiastic local estate agent.
Would highly recommend !

All staff were excellent throughout our sale and our purchase. We felt well supported throughout. Several weeks after our move they are still helping us by contacting our vendor to collect information that we needed. We can only urge you to give this very professional agent a try. Liz was extremely helpful as our exchange and completion approached. She even worked through days off to help the process to progress.
