I have purchased property through Walmsley. The team is very professional and friendly. 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

Sold and purchased with Walmsley on more than one occasion in Caversham - this time completed in less than three months thanks to the incredible sales support... from Paula. Other positive reviews on here speak volumes and ring true from recent experience.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
Sara M.
We received exceptional service from Walmsleys.

I was very pleased with the service I received recently from Paula and Simon at Walmsley's estate agents. I was selling my property in Emmer Green from abroad... so was dependent on good communication and negotiating skills on my behalf. Paula excelled throughout, always keeping me up to speed with and advising me on what were sometimes quite tricky negotiations with my buyers. In the end the sale was completed quickly and to my satisfaction. I would have no hesitation in recommending Walmsley's.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

Great work from Simon, Paula and the team at Walmsley. Pretty sure our sale would have fallen through without Paula going the extra mile. Highly recommend.

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

Walmsley managed the entire process of buying a house efficiently. They were responsive and dealt with all queries in a timely fashion.
Honza K.
I cannot recommend Walsley enough. I had my property on the markey for quite some time and was getting disheartened when I couldn't shift it. But as soon as I... selected Walmsley, I was put at ease and the property sold at the second viwing. Everyone was brilliant in helping me and a massive thanks to Francesca and Craig for being there on my journey! I will defintely be using them again as I am on ther lookout to buy again this year. Thanks so much! 🙂read more

I have dealt with several estate agents over the last 30 years or so but none has come close to Walmsley.From start to finish they handled the house sale in... a professional and friendly manner and provided a service which was second to none. A big shout out for Finn, Francesca and Paula for whom nothing was too much trouble and to Simon who’s advice was invaluable.Thanks to the team there - keep up the good work.read more
Graeme P.
We were first time buyers and a little overwhelmed by the process, but Paula and Finn helped us a lot. We also went through some real difficulties when going... through with 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.推荐这家房产中介，Paula和Finn都超好，很专业也很有耐心。买房过程很艰辛，中途房产评估出了一些问题，需要我们提供其他的信息如电气检查报告，不然不给估价。Paula帮我们联系了一些公司，还找其它评估师帮忙调查，最后才给到了评估价格，银行才放贷了，确实很感谢。推荐的律师也非常有效率，很快。我们经验不足，所以去看了好几次要买的房，带我们看房的Finn每次都很有耐心。其次，留意了下Caversham 附近的房源，感觉这家中介提供的房源都还不错，作为买家，还是很满意的。read more

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. I would not hesitate to recommend this fantastic team!read more

I rent a studio from Walmsley and the staffs from the Letting department are very friendly throughout. They're extremely helpful whenever I had queries. I was... confused with the check-out process and wasn't following what they told me to do. However, the staff who check out the studio didn't give me a hard time on this one and kindly let me get away with it. I'm extremely grateful for what they've done to help me. I will definitely recommend my friends to rent with Walmsley.read more

We recently sold our house with Walmsley, from beginning to end, the staff at Walmsley were friendly, attentive and professional. We were kept well informed... whilst the house was for sale and given feedback, normally within 24hrs. Once we were under offer, again, we were frequently updated. During our search, we found Finn really helpful and knowledgeable, and we didn't feel pressured into liking the house or to make a decision, as other estate agents had made us feel. I would recommend to friends and family and we will certainly use Walmsley when we decide to move again.read more

Mathew W.
I paid Walmsley to find me a buyer and they did so before my house went on the market. OK the fee was eye-watering but it was no more than other estate agents... charged. They know the local market inside out and gave helpful advice when nursing the sale along. I chose them because they'd sold my neighbour's house and two of the houses opposite - glad I did.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
