GOOGLE REVIEWS
On both professional and personal grounds I can highly recommend Parkgate to anyone needing property advice in Richmond.
They are completely honest and straightforward to deal with, which isn't always easy to find in this industry. When a maintenance issue comes up, they handle it efficiently—no messing around or dragging their feet, they just want the job done right for their tenants and landlords.
Super professional, always pay on time, and just really good, genuine people to work with. If you're looking for an agency you can actually trust, I can't recommend them enough.
Jonathan is our managing agent, and he regularly check in to see how things are going and are quick to respond with any issues. They have also scheduled maintenance and painting for us and have made recommendations and advocated on our behalf to the landlord for additional maintenance and improvements.
We rented a property that they manage for 4 years.
Parkgate team is very professional and approachable. Way better than dealing with a big agency, they offer a more personal approach, always available and willing to solve any issues.
From the tenancy agreement to handing the property back, it has been a real pleasure working with them.
The selling process was great - we were given good feedback from the viewings and got the price we wanted within about 8 weeks.
We really have nothing but praise for Klaudia and Chris, it's been really enjoyable, easy and stress free and we will be recommending Parkgate to all our friends in the area and our building.
