AVOID PARABAR AT ALL COSTS!
If I could give zero stars, I would. Parabar in Billericay has been the worst estate agents I have ever dealt with. They failed to pay me my rent that was due, and their negligence led to illegal tenants being placed in my property. These tenants completely wrecked my home, and it’s clear Parabar didn’t bother doing the proper checks.
All they seemed interested in was their commission from the sale—absolutely no regard for me as a landlord. Communication was appalling throughout the whole process. Emails were ignored, calls were dodged, and when they did respond, it was like talking to a child. As you can see from the photo attached, their grammar and professionalism are shockingly poor.
This company is incompetent, untrustworthy, and a complete nightmare to deal with. I’m now left picking up the pieces from their total disregard for their responsibilities. Spare yourself the stress and find a professional agency instead.... Read more

We sold my parents property via Parabar Estates, our agent was Wayne. Sadly my Dad was diagnosed with an illness and passed away very quickly after he listed the property. Wayne couldn’t have been more helpful and understanding at the time. Once all was over Wayne set about helping us sell the property as quickly as possible, however being sensitive and understanding with my mum who was finding it all very hard. The process post offer of touching base with all parties pushing the sale forward as quickly as possible, was second to none and we couldn’t have done it without Wayne. We couldn’t say thank you enough to Wayne and are truly grateful for his guidance and help. I had never sold a property before and Wayne spent a lot of time explaining how everything works to my sister and I.
Thank you again.

We have lived in Billericay for many years and I chose ParaBar because it has been a presence on the High Street ever since we moved here so I knew it was a well established local agency. What a good decision! Wayne Shayler took us under his wing and his extensive knowledge of the market and excellent, timely advice was invaluable to us. He was always available to answer our queries and contacted us regularly with updates - I honestly think we couldn’t have chosen a better agent. Thank you so much Wayne! Everyone in the office was unfailingly polite and helpful and we are very happy with the service we received. Highly recommend ParaBar.... Read more

We recently sold our bungalow through Parabar Estates. If you want an agent with local knowledge who truly makes you feel like they have your best interests at heart look no further than Parabar Estates.
From initial valuation to completion of the sale the whole team were completely professional at all times and nothing was too much trouble. Communication and support with the whole office, but Wayne and Trevor in particular, was exceptional. The whole process had its challenges as there were complications in the chain, but Wayne in particular went over and above to try and resolve the issues when communication from other parties broke down. I believe that without his persistence the chain may have collapsed. Highly recommended... Read more

By seeing In what state is the property after the renovation which has been done by us. the greedy agency decided that they will put the prices up.

Wayne is very professional, knowlegable and honest, which made us trust his advice and judgement completely. If you are looking for an estate agency that is transparent, responsive, respectful, and will treat you as a partner rather than a quick potential fee source, we definetely recommed using ParaBar! They truly care about their clients which stes them far apart from any other agencies we've dealt with. We wouldn't think of using anyone else in the future.Thank you Wayne and the team for your hard work!... Read more

Perhaps that's got most to do with who is leaving and how they do so, and who is arriving and how they look at the property. I'm really glad to hear everyone is happy. Either way, thanks for your help and guidance throughout.... Read more
