I stayed in a rented property managed by Walmsley and would like to mention that the experience has been excellent. The team is very professional, true to work, transparent and organized. I never faced any challenges during a 30 month stay and would recommend Walmsley to anyone looking for a property in and around Reading. Some names to quote - Beth, Janet...keep doing the great work!!... Read more

The whole team was so helpful and responsive, and most of the time when we had questions, they’d already answered them before we even needed to ask! If we did need help, they were always ready and quick to assist. They also provided great documentation throughout, making everything super clear and easy to follow. And the key handover? Honestly, the best we've ever had – it was seamless!
We felt really well taken care of, and it was clear they truly cared about making sure everything went perfectly for us. We’re so grateful for all their hard work and can’t recommend them enough!... Read more

I recently completed the sale of my Emmer Green property through Walmsley and was very satisfied with the service from the initial valuation, through agreement of the content of the property brochure, organisation of viewings and then liaising with the eventual buyers to achieve a successful outcome. Every one I dealt with in the Sales team was friendly and professional and good communication was maintained. A special mention of Paula Abbott who looked after the critical period after an offer had been made and accepted. She was always accessible, rang back promptly when I left a message, provided really practical advice and was always willing to work positively between me and the buyers when I felt things weren't going quite as I expected and reassure me with a sensible rationale for events - no unhelpful sugar coating of the facts! I have moved house quite often over the years and, based on that experience, Walmsley are right up there amongst the very best.... Read more

Walmsley managed to sell my flat for more than the asking price in just over 3x weeks of it going on the market. They charged a fixed rate which was lower than the other big estate agents in Reading and were friendly and professional during the whole process.
Craig came to the flat twice in person to run through their services and the process with us, and was the one who negotiated the sale and got us such a fantastic offer.
Paula was instrumental in helping us have an offer accepted on the house we ended up buying by speaking with our seller's estate agent and re-assuring him of our due diligence and how secure our buyer was.
Their efforts helped us in having a massive increase to our QoL, going from a 1x bedroom flat next to a busy road, to a 3x bedroom house in the country, with money to spare allowing us to furnish/decorate it upon moving in.
We will definitely be recommending them to our friends and family in the future.... Read more

Earlier this year Walmsley both sold our house and the house we bought. We had an incredibly good experience with them in both instances. The people at Walmsley were fantastic at every stage: showing us houses, getting ours on the market, and during the buying/selling process.
We couldn't be home when the photos of our house were being taken but Craig met the photographer and handled everything for us, including moving some incredibly heavy boxes to get a good photo of our spare room - something we did not expect him to do!
Paula was absolutely fabulous once offers had been accepted and we were going through the buying/selling process. Like every house purchase, there were some bumps in the road, but Simon and Paula kept us well informed and we managed to navigate through. Now we are in the house of our dreams where we get to raise our toddler!... Read more

Had a brilliant experience selling my house with Walmsley. In fact this is the third house Simon, Craig and the team have sold for me in 25 years. Selling a house is never stress-free but the Walmsley team somehow absorb much of it!
I made a mistake initially by engaging a different Caversham estate agency to sell my house - I was seduced by the number of their boards in Caversham Heights and the suggested selling price (far too high I realise now).
In the end, switching to sound advice and realistic pricing from the Walmsley team got me the result I wanted. In fact, from accepting an offer in mid Jan 2024, I moved into my new home just 11 weeks later.
Special mention to Paula Abbott at Walmsley who progressed the sale process firmly, calmly and with lots of reassurance.
Thanks guys!!... Read more

Bought a property recently as a first time buyer. We were thinking of getting a survey of the property to have a piece of mind that everything is running fine. The estate agent convinced us that there are no issues with the property as the previous tenants who lived there did not report any complaints. When we moved into the house, the boiler was not working at all and we had to pay hefty amount to get the boiler fixed. And when we recahed out to Walmsley regarding this, they backed off and said that the property was not rented through them and they donot have any history of the house.
Another things is that they lure you into the trap of getting the mortgage advisor and Solicictors from them as part of the deal who charge you way more than the market price in order to expedite the process which is good thing but this was not done out of goodwill, this was just so that the agent could make some extra bucks off of you.
Overall, a worst first time buying experience.
Will not deal with Walmsley ever in the future again.
Advice for first time buyers, please do your due dilligence before buying the property from Walmsley, donot trust blindly with anything that is being conveyed to you.... Read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
We moved into a flat in 2022 and instantly noticed it had not been cleaned. We sent an email to Warmsleys stating some of the issues; black dust around the skirtings, bed, sofa, and tv units, black stained worn carpets, crumbs in the oven, traces of human blood in the property, limescale covered worktops, broken lightbulbs, and a strong stench of smoke throughout the property.
The email response we got did not offer for a cleaner to come in, they just wrote that we wouldn’t have to get the flat professionally cleaned upon checkout. Quite the opposite has happened..
DAY OF CHECKOUT: We receive an email from Leona saying we owe £200 for a professional clean and replacement bulbs. This was after we told them we had gone above and beyond their requirement and we hired in a cleaner, because we wanted to leave it nice for the next people, so that they didn’t have to move into somewhere as filthy as we had to. But apparently, this wasn’t good enough and she “missed” some areas. The photos they sent back are laughable - one of which included a 1mm ball of white fluff? I’ve also attached a photo of the oven as we left it, which apparently needs a second clean? After several emails back and forth, they still aren’t dropping the cleaning bill.
If you want your deposit back, avoid Warmsleys at all costs. I have rented for 10 years, and I have never lost a deposit nor been treated so appallingly by a letting agency.... Read more

Walmsley lettings in reading are the most dishonest and misleading agent I have ever let with.
Upon check in, we took many photos of the property, but were advised by our agent Lauren that we didn’t need to be so worried about being charged for every little thing, as walmsleys aren’t like some of the other agents that screw people over. We were also provided with pictures of how the property should look, taken on a 20 year old digital camera….
The property was filthy, thick dust was around the skirtings, we were given a blood stained mattress protector, a 3 legged table and dirty Crockery - we were told by the agent that we HAD to keep all these items in the flat - even the blood stained mattress protector?!
Upon check out, Walmsleys seem to have found the funds for an IPhone 15 with flash to take photos of EVERY TINY spec of dust in the property, even though they expect us to move into a property in such a terrible condition.
Their check out clerk used flash photography and zoom on every spec of dust, yet when we moved in the check in report was made using no zoom, no flash and a terrible camera.
Walmsleys will continue contributing to the terrible state of the lettings market unless someone does something about them. We are yet to reach a resolution.
I have attached an example of the pathetic imperfections in the property that we are being charged for:... Read more

5* for Walmsley sales and lettings agency after both renting and buying!!
We rented through Walmsley a 3-bed in caversham. Everything from start to finish was smooth and efficient, we couldn’t fault them at all. The communication was excellent and any issues we had with the rental were quickly resolved. We received our deposit back with no issues. The team were always kind and helpful and always made you feel like a priority. Thank you especially to Bethany & Sian!
We have also just purchased a house through Walmsley, and again couldn’t have been happier. We would be regularly updated with properties that matched our requirements. During viewings, the estate agents were very knowledgeable about the property and the local area and clearly had lots of experience. They were flexible with arranging viewings (we viewed a lot!!) and kept us up to date with offers. After we had our offer accepted the communication was outstanding, anytime you needed to talk to someone you would be able to. Paula was brilliant and helped push our sale through when we had an issue and I’m so glad we purchased our dream house through Walmsley.
I would highly recommended renting and buying with Walmsley, thank you to the whole team we have had an excellent experience!... Read more

We began renting as students and Walmsley refused to do digital document signing when our past 4 landlords/ estate agents were able to do this perfectly fine with no problems. One of us had to cancel our holiday in order to fly back to attend the signing which is a large financial burden especially when we're students.
When we moved in, there were some noticeable problems with the property which is pretty common when renting. Walmsley assured us they would get these problems addressed promptly. However we've been renting this property for almost 2 months now and a large handful of these simple and urgent problems still have not been sorted. My previous landlords/ estate agents would normally get these kinds of issues sorted out in less than a day.
Every time we contact Walmsley they respond with "we're disputing these issues with the previous tenants". Instead of Walmsley taking full responsibility of this dispute, they burdening us with these issues when it has absolutely nothing to do with us.... Read more

Firstly, would highly recommend to anyone reading and thinking of selling their property to try advertising privately first as I was glad to have bought a property this way; it was a much easier experience than my dealings with estate agents.
As a buyer; just wasted my time really, only contacted me if they wanted feedback on a property otherwise I had to contact them every week or two asking for updates when in a chain, misleading information known to be untrue for properties viewed given, gave up asking questions on viewings in the end as often didn't know anything about the property or just flicked through the booklet to find the answer (in which case just give viewers a copy of the booklet).
Overall, I had two properties I made offers on; one was accepted and I then waited for the sellers to find a property themselves, 3 months of the estate agent never updating me unless I asked, I eventually pulled out. The house has just been put up by a new estate agent a year and a half later. Another property, I gave an offer of asking price and was told by the estate agents that the sellers wanted more despite no other offers being made, I said no and they then claimed "oh we weren't trying to make you offer more" (why ask me then?), 3 months the house then sat on the market before being taken off/sold. In both examples; messing around a potential buyer for what? The commission on the extra £5k compared to the cost of all the additional viewings across the 3 months would have lost you money. The first house is now with another estate agent so no gain either.
Very friendly though. Probably great for sellers for some of these reasons to make more money on the sale.... Read more

Not living anywhere near Caversham I was looking for a team who would not only help in selling the flat but also looking after it for the period it remained unsold. Craig and Francesca gave me superb assistance giving me contacts to clear the flat, clean and then redecorate it.

Having lived in our old house for more than 25 years we were a bit out of practice in selling houses! We knew we wanted to move but needed some sensible pragmatic advice. Step in Simon Walmsley. After our initial meeting where we discussed our objectives and the kind of marketing strategy we wanted, we were confident Walmsley was the agency we wanted to work with. After the photo’s were done and the details signed-off, and within an hour of the property “going live”, we had 11 viewings booked in. These viewings resulted in 5 offers mostly over the asking price. The selected bidder proceeded seamlessly to exchange and completion with Paula keeping us updated on progress throughout. To summarise we couldn’t recommend Simon and his excellent team highly enough.... Read more

During each stage of the process they were very helpful to chase the seller’s side and provide updates on the progress. They were available on phone and email any given day and never failed to assist on any matters. I would highly recommend this estate agency for anyone looking to sell/ buy property or rent market. I have personally had a very good experience and hence I recommend them.... Read more

Walmsley Estate Agent in Caversham were excellent from start to finish through what was not an easy sale. The constant support they gave, rapid responsiveness and professionalism from Paula and Craig at every stage will be forever greatly appreciated. I’m pretty sure without Paula being so fantastic in her communication and keeping the chain stable/well informed that it would have fallen through. Huge Thank you again to the team, can highly recommend and Walmsley will most definitely be my agent of choice for future transactions! :)
Having previously rented as a tenant through them as well for several years, I can confirm that they are also the best letting agent I have ever dealt with, with clear processes that protect both tenant and landlord.... Read more

The best estate agency I didn't (quite) use.
It's been a frantic and unrealistic property market during the pandemic, with good and bad decisions made. Don't make my mistake. If you want to sell your property, call Craig Butt at Walmsley in Caversham. He will give you a fair and honest valuation (rather than bump the selling price up), he will show courtesy and professionalism at all times (I met him 3 times) and he and his team will represent you and your house well. With Craig leading sales, Walmsley are the No. 1 agent in Caversham and the local area, for selling houses through to completion. They know what they are doing, they will sell your house, quite probably for a better price. Put your trust in them, they will get the job done.... Read more

I have used Walmsley on a couple of occasions and have always found them to be professional and very helpful.
Nothing is too much trouble and they are always there to advise, even after completion.
They are thorough and work with you, and unlike other agencies involved in the chain, do not bully you into decisions you don't want to make.
I would highly recommend Simon, Janet, Paula and Francesca (my direct dealings) and will certainly be using them again in the future.... Read more

We would highly recommended the team at Walmsley.
We sold our property and purchased our new property through Walmsley and what a breath of fresh air! We invited some other estate agents to sell the property including Purple Bricks and other local estate agents, however Craig and the team at Walmsley came across much better they were not only very friendly but seemed very professional and knowledgeable and were well prepared with local market information. Some of the other estate agents were pushy but Walmsley were very pleasant to deal with and had our best interests in mind.
On the purchase Walmsley helped by making us aware of property's which suited our requirements which resulted in us putting in an offer and purchasing through them.
The communication was fantastic and Paula went the extra mile to ensure that everything was progressing smoothly in the sale and purchase and although there were a few challenges on completion day she communicated with all parties to ensure that this happened. I cannot thank the team enough.... Read more

I have been using Walmsley Estate Agent for selling and buying property for over 25 years. I cannot recommend enough. Buying and selling houses is always stressful but the process is made as painless as possible with Walmsley. Simon is excellent and knows the market and has always achieved the best possible price for us. He has always told me the most likely price we will achieve and has always been correct. He once valued a property considerably higher than other Estate Agents because it was a unique property, he achieved his prediction and the property was sold within 2 weeks. Walmsley strive to make the process as stress free as possible with very dedicated back office staff who liaise directly with the Solicitors, Seller and Buyer - so you don't have to! They also update you very regularly on the current situation so you are never left wondering what is happening.... Read more

After having been in touch with Craig Butt at Walmsley Estate Agents for several years, I finally marketed my property with Walmsley in Caversham in the middle of 2020 after the end of first lock down.
I was extremely pleased with the continued professionalism of all the team, throughout the whole sale process. Given the conditions of the market, and the uncertainty during the pandemic, at no point did I feel that I wasn't getting the best level of service or response.
Simon Walmsley intervened while Craig was on leave, at what was a crucial stage in the sale when there were two offers on the table to consider. His guidance and professionalism in handling the negotiation of the sale price was second to none. Paula worked really well with Karen Pratt at Blandy & Blandy to chase through the sale to conclusion.
I think that using Walmsley to sell your property in Caversham is highly recommended, as the team have a wealth of local market knowledge, and experience which is second to none.
Thank you to Craig, Simon, Chris, Paula and Francesca and the rest of the team at Walmsley for all your help and support in our move. First class service and would highly recommend.... Read more

Awful service from walmsley estate agent in Caversham, we put an offer in on a property with them and set out to get our mortgage in principle, this took longer than normal because of the back log from Covid and the fact my wife is self employed and runs her own business so the mortgage company needed a lot of information.
while we where waiting for the mortgage in principle to come through we noticed that they did not remove the property from there website still stating it was for sale, after 20 days they emailed us and said it’s back up for sale as we have gone over there 20 day policy rather than phoning us to ask if we needed any more time to get it together, a few days later they said it had sold for more than we had agreed so basically they left it up took interest then sold it for more all off the back of a 20 day policy, a decent estate agents like Masons in Caversham would have stayed in touch and called us to make sure all was well how the mortgage in principle was coming along, our mortgage in principle came through 10 minutes after they called to say they had re sold it.
They are only interested in money not there customers stay away, we will never ever use them again awful experience stay away.... Read more

(Translated by Google) We were first time buyers and a little overwhelmed by the process, but Paula and Finn helped us a lot. We also went through the purchase and they were endlessly patient and helpful.
Paula was always very quick to respond to us, both by email and telephone! And always keep us updated. Finn showed us around the property (a number of times!) and was always knowledgeable and provided good advice.
Definitely recommend Walmsley Estate Agents.
Recommend this real estate agent, Paula and Finn are super good, very professional and very patient. The process of buying a house is very difficult. The mid-way property has some problems, and we need to provide other information such as an electrical inspection report, otherwise it will not be valued. Paula helped us to contact some companies, and I also asked other appraisers to help with the investigation. Finally, I gave the evaluation price, and the bank only lend money. I really appreciate it. The recommended lawyer is also very efficient and very fast. We are inexperienced, so I went to see the room I wanted to buy several times. Finn, who took us to look at the room, was very patient every time. Secondly, paying attention to the neighborhood near Caversham, I feel that the agency provided the listing is not bad, as a buyer, still very satisfied.

When I moved to Caversham just over a year ago I was looking for a renovation 'project' and the Walmsley team quickly understood what I was looking for. Time and again Finn willingly showed me round the same property so I could investigate potential issues. Then when a sale was finally agreed Paula did a brilliant job of ensuring all the parties were fully briefed and working to the same timeline. Finally, once I was in the house and knocking down walls Craig kindly dropped by to advise what alterations would add value and what would not.

Worst experience with a rental property ever. Walmsley happily let a property to my family with 2 very young children, mid-winter, with radiators that weren’t working, a boiler that didn’t work properly, windows that didn’t open and close properly, and bare wires on the living room floor (none of which we were aware of prior to moving in). There were around 30 things wrong which still weren’t rectified 6 months later and we were forced to leave and find somewhere else. Walmsley will happily accept payment from landlords that they know are very poor landlords whilst the tenants suffer. Would definitely not recommend to either tenants or landlords.... Read more

We would be sure to turn to Walmsley if selling our house in the future - they were great!... Read more

We had an excellent experience with Walmsley when selling our house. They knew the local market better than any of the other agents that we spoke to and gave us confidence that they would do everything they could to help us get a good price. We had some tricky issues to work through with our sale as the buyer placed quite a few demands on us, Walmsley were extremely professional and helped us navigate this getting us a good outcome. Overall, very pleased with the service.... Read more

Walmsley offered an excellent service to me during the sale of my home. Our buyer proved difficult to deal with but the staff at Walmsley stuck to the task doggedly making sure that we were kept up to date with developments at all times and offering good advice whenever necessary. I think without Walsmley's help we would still be trying to close the sale now.... Read more

I recently completed a house sale and purchase, both through Walmsley. In contrast to other agents in Caversham, Simon was absolutely honest with his valuation and market appraisal, instead of over valuing just to get our business. Paula and the team were very quick to answer all of our questions and kept us appraised of the process throughout. Walmsley completely earned our trust, both as a buyer and a seller, and I would have absolutely no hesitation is recommending them. If we sell our property in the future, they will definitely be our first port of call.... Read more

Getting a property with Walmsley was a very smooth process. Lots of help along the way with any queries that I had and made sure that everything was perfect ready for moving in day. A very thorough inventory document was presented to me at the property and the service received by Beth was excellent and very helpful from start to finish. Would recommend using this agency....

I was a foreign student who has no idea of where to leave when i arrive the city. Rebbeca (member of the wamsley staff) was very helpful and helped me find something perfect for me. I was really please with the building and my room, which was big and comfortable. If I ever have to go back, I definitely will go with them to help me find something! The only thing it could imporve is that the heater were regulated from the room... Read more

I have been living in Martindale Court for several years. The living condition has been a lot improved since 2015 as there was a major refurbishement for all the ktichens in the building. There are two lovely cleaning ladies coming everyday to clean the public area; most of the tenants are very considerate to keeping both the kitchen and the bathroom as clean and tidy as possible. There are also regular security partol and security check of differnt kinds in the buildling, so I always feel safe and comfortable here. It really feels like a home for me in the UK! Rebecca and Ylenia are lovely people, they help me and many other international students to find a room and quickly settle in, so we don't need to worry much about accomodation, which is a huge relief for international students like us. These two lovely ladies are also always willing to help with no matter what issues or problems the tenants might have. I want to recommend Walmsley Estate and Lettings Agency, and Martindale Court in particular to students who are coming to study in Reading. I beleive you will also find a home here!... Read more

We have cleaned for Walmsley for 9 years and they have a fantastic range of properties that are always kept to a great standard, I have always found the staff more than helpful and as a contractor they go out of their way to assist us as well as being very professional and courteous to members of the public whether that is a tenant or Landlord, I would have no hesitation to let my property through them or recommend them...

When I was searching for a property Walmsley Letting Agents were the most helpful agents I came across. They found me a property within a few days which was perfect for me. They were far cheaper to use than many of the others. I had a very swift, easy experience with them. I would definitely recommend them to others looking to rent a property.... Read more

They are the worst Letting agent I have ever encountered !! I rented a property which was managed by them. At the start of tenancy they will make you to go through the inventory with them and sign the document before handing over the house keys. It took more than four hours to verify that inventory document as it was incorrect and minutely written. It appeared as if they were using the same inventory document from previous years without reviewing it. I found lot of cleaning issues. Beth who came for inventory check-in was very rude and impatient and I complained against her but no action or apologies from their side. They are very lazy when you want to get something repaired. My family was left without heating and hot water for few days and they didn't bother to get someone quickly. I had to complain to the Council against them. I terminated the tenancy as soon as six month are completed. The checkout inventory document was just two page document and without sufficient photos.Now they want to deduct money from the deposit claiming that house requires minor cleaning and not providing sufficient proofs to justify the deductions and I have now raised the dispute against them to get the deposit.
They might be good for home owner and definitely won't recommend as a tenant.... Read more

A great agency and very professional people. Unlike the many crook letting agencies in Reading who charge extortion amount of money from people who want to rent a property, their costs were very reasonable.
If you are a landlord, I would highly recommend that you rent your property through them. Their checks were very through and surely your property will go in no time due to their reasonable costs.
For tenants, I will equally recommend to rent through them. My experience was great.
Thank you very much, Jenny, Francesca and Kim.... Read more
