Parkgate are a top end letting agent and property management provider. Their combined years of experience shines through in every interaction I have had as a tenant.

I have worked with Jonathon and the Parkgate team for over 15 years. I have always found the them one of the most professional and friendly teams that I work with. I have worked with a lot of estate agents in Richmond and when I needed to rent out my own property in Richmond I had no hesitation in choosing Parkgate who provided a great service all the way through the process.
On both professional and personal grounds I can highly recommend Parkgate to anyone needing property advice in Richmond.

I've recently completed on a flat purchase thanks in large part to Klaudia. This was a tricky purchase but was helped along by Klaudia's professionalism. Will happily use Parkgate again

I’ve been working with Parkgate for over 3 years now, and they are easily one of the best agencies I’ve ever worked with. As a contractor, you get a proper look at how an estate agent actually runs behind the scenes, and these guys are the real deal.

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.

We’ve been tenants with Parkgate for close to 5 years and into our third tenancy renewal now. They’ve been nothing short of amazing and incredibly helpful. Being a family run business, they really do take care of their customers and there’s never this feeling that you talk to a different person every time you contact them, and that no one really cares. That’s how pretty much every chain agency in London works. Chris and his reliable team have always been super fast to respond, very happy to help and incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend Parkgate to anyone thinking of renting or buying.
Great communication and customer service from Daisy makes our job much easier. Parkgate estate agents are always a pleasure to deal with.

It is a pleasure to work with Parkgate. They have supported us all the way through from booking our initial viewing all the way through to managing the rental we are in now. Mark Langham was so quick to help us with our application, provide feedback from landlord on our approval, and get us through the process to secure the tenancy.

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.

I've used Parkgate in Richmond for over 15 years now. They have always found excellent tenants for my properties. They never fail to be friendly, supportive and very professional. Any queries or concerns I may have are instantly responded to. Can highly recommend them.
I cooperate with the agency as a tenant and completely pleased with the service of its agents. They are always ready to help with any property issue as soon as possible, promptly reply and react to any kind of enquiry. Special thanks to Jola for her pleasant communication style!

We purchased a house recently with Parkgate by a perfect service. I was in contact with Jonathan and Klaudia who are really professionals. They were easy to reach, fast acting and especially fair and honest. They were so straight forward that we managed the completion within a very short period. I reached them so easy whenever I need to talk over the phone or in person. I will never forget Klaudia’s good luck to us at the first viewing of property. We decided to buy at that first day and all was done so fast. They carried out all paper works so smooth and clear. I would highly recommend Parkgate. Thanks again to Jonathan and Klaudia.

Really pleased with Parkgate. They manage my flat in Richmond. Because they're local they actually visit the flat regularly and use trusted local suppliers to deal with issues / maintenance etc. I find they are a reliable and easy agency to deal with, which reduces stress. Strongly recommend!

Parkgate has been my agent of choice for a number of years now and has secured good tenants for my properties. They are hard working, respond in a timely manner and best of all are always friendly rather than aggressive or overbearing, which is the case with many of their competitors.

Excellent service throughout.
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.

I have had an eight year relationship with Parkgate, in fact they originally sold my flat to me 12 years ago in Putney. Their service and professionalism is unrivalled. They managed the leasing of my flat from 2014 and assisted me to negotiate the successful sale just now in 2022. Chris has been there throughout with an open door and no request too trivial to assist. Klaudia negotiated my sale and worked with amazing tenacity throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Parkgate to anyone in the Putney/Richmond area, they know their stuff.

We have had a wonderful experience with Parkgate and would highly recommend them. Chris was brilliant on the valuation - what we liked is he was totally honest about our chances of selling and gave us the positives and negatives about our property (such as facing a council estate!). Other agents tend to just gush over the good bits which is great, but actually not that helpful.

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.

***** Thank you! *****
