    Tom French Mortgages are independent mortgage advisers with a long history of satisfied clients, they have been a valuable and trusted financial services advisory to many Parkers clients for many years now and have become an essential part of their client offering.

    As a result of their success, Tom French mortgage adviser Ross Appleby has been joined by both Ben Old, who worked with Ross previously, and Samantha Evans, who worked as the Branch Manager of Parkers for many years and therefore knows both industries extremely well. Roos, Ben and Samantha have strong local connections and a wealth of experience.

    Ross commented, 'The level of referrals has exceeded all expectations and meant that another adviser was essential to meet client needs. Our ability to offer home visits outside of working hours has been extremely well received as this is not something freely available to clients in these areas previously.

    Our affiliation to Parkers is something we are very proud of and we feel our businesses complement each other perfectly. Client sentiment certainly seems to echo this as our referral levels from existing clients has been superb and it is comforting to know that we must be doing the right things.

    First time buyers in particular have found our relaxed and simple approach welcoming and uncomplicated. This means that they actually understand the process and feel they are getting the whole of market advice that is necessary in the modern day without any pressure.'

    In the first instance, Ross for a no obligation, informal chat. Alternatively, he can be contacted via email at ross.appleby@tomfrench.co.uk

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Wendy was so good
      I wanted to belatedly thank you and your team for the excellent work in selling our property.I especially wanted to give Wendy a mention. I never met her but she was so good. She rang me weekly and coped fantastically when I was totally frustrated. She obviously got on the phone to all parties and eveything was shaken up. Within a week we were talking exchange and completion dates!

      Mrs F 
      Dec 2022
    • Seller Testimonial

      kept in touch constantly and updated us throughout
      I purchased the house in 2020 in amongst the Covid pandemic and from viewing the property right through until completion, Emma Parker was absolutely fantastic. The government's guidance with regards to moving properties continually changed and various delays such as searches/solicitor backlog meant the process took longer than usual. However, Emma kept in touch constantly and updated us throughout - she gave me piece of mind which made the world of difference in such a difficult and frustrating time.My only prior property purchase was through a different Estate Agent and the service/updates they provided do not compare to Parkers. If/when it comes to selling my property, I will definitely be using Parkers.

      I would fully recommend them

    • Seller Testimonial

      they went beyond our expectations
      "We cannot fault Parker's and highly recommend them. They present a professional and friendly service. We were unfortunate to have had a long drawn out procedure with our sale due to our buyers losing several sales. Mark and Emma were impeccable during this time keeping us informed throughout and acting on our behalf chasing our buyers. They were patient and always returned our calls. Nothing was too much trouble. They went beyond our expectations, dealing with a difficult sale in an unknown and unpredictable time. Not only a great service but a lovely team too."

      seemingly available 24/7!
      "We would like to express our sincere appreciation for all the hard work done by Parkers throughout the whole process. From the day our property went onto the market to the day we completed on both our sale and purchase, they worked tirelessly to promote the sale, liaise with all parties involved, keep us informed and make our experience as pain free as possible.  We can't thank the team enough for their limitless patience and energy. Always a smile and words of encouragement, and seemingly available 24/7!   We would not hesitate to recommend Parkers to anyone selling and/or buying property".

      you did an exemplary job
      "Thank you for your professionalism and friendliness in effecting the sale of our property.

      Nothing seemed too much trouble.
      "We both wanted to let you know that your team has worked hard and kept us up to date at all times with regard to the sale of our home in Dorchester. Comparing the service received from your team to other local estate agents we've used previously we can honestly say that you've gone the extra mile to get us the sale, and also out of normal working hours keeping in touch. Nothing seemed too much trouble. May we wish your team and company all the very best for the future."

      "Debbie and I would like to thank you all for the excellent service we received. We were particularly impressed that all of you understood the unique aspects of the flat and were able to convey these successfully to prospective buyers. Communication was excellent throughout, especially over the last few months when the legal matters seemed to take an age to be resolved. We are not planning to repeat this process anytime soon, but if we were, Parkers would be top of our list!"

    • Seller Testimonial

      "From the moment of first meeting Mark Parker to discuss whether to put the house on the market with Parkers, to the completion of the sale, I cannot fault their service. Two things particularly impressed me: their very prompt and regular feedback after viewings and their attention to detail after the sale was agreed, to actively push the process along with solicitors and other agents, without undue delays. They always contacted me, rather than me having to contact them! I am so glad that I followed the advice of two friends who were previous clients of Parkers, to choose them over other local agents to deal with the sale. Thanks to everyone at Parkers for your very professional and personal attention throughout".

      Mrs T

      To all at Parkers. We would like to thank you for a first rate service. Having of course used Parkers for the purchase of our property and been very impressed with the high standards and excellent level of communication we received, we chose to use you for the sale of the property and were yet again impressed by your professionalism and excellent communication throughout.We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Parkers who in our opinion set a standard that many would do well to follow!

We received nothing but professional, reliable, friendly and efficient service throughout - other agents could do with taking a leaf out of your book!

      "We just wanted to say thank you for your help in making the sale of our property such a smooth, quick and stress free process. It is extremely frustrating to deal with agents that seem to have absolutely no interest in selling your house and it was such a breath of fresh air to meet with Adam. He was so enthusiastic and took time to get to know the house and make sure that all other members of the team were familiar with it before showing people around. We were given feedback after every viewing and kept up to date with progress once an offer had been made".

      "We have moved house several times and have found solicitors' and estate agents' attitudes to be largely passive - rarely more than reacting to events. By contrast, your office contacted us regularly, even when little was happening, and when it came to getting the chain finalised you kept moving things on to a timely conclusion. So many thanks, and we will see you again when it is time to move on!"

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      treated me as though I was a special customer
      I'd like to give you some feedback of my experience of purchasing a property through your business.I have to say unlike the estate agency that sold my property, the two businesses could not be more different.The team at Parkers treated me as though I was a special customer and not just another house buyer. I was treated with respect unlike my own estate agency.I had weekly phone calls updating me with progress on my purchase and any updates from solicitors both mine and vendors.The contact was enough to reassure me that you weren't just after the fee but genuinely cared about me as a person and the property I was purchasing.Needless to say I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Parkers for their professional approach, caring approach and genuinely wanting to help anywhere they could to ensure my purchase went as smoothly as possible.

      your staff have always been really professional
      Just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for everything your team did during the lengthy process that was our house move! It was a long-time coming but well worth the wait. Along the way, I would say the interactions with all your staff (mostly Mike but also Jackie, yourself and Emma) have been really professional. We always felt like we were kept up to date with everything. If we weren't, then I felt confident to call and get the query resolved quickly. The team would always support each other and usually knew what was going on. As for the viewing process, that really did need patience! Your team let us know of any property that we would be interested in and were more than happy to show us around (sometimes more than once). We really felt the team got to know us (they had long enough!) and this helped find the right home for us. We feel settled already. Please pass on our gratitude to the whole team

      Parkers have been the best  we have dealt with
      "My wife and I have bought and sold many properties in Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset and Essex over the years and we have to say that Parkers have been the best agent that we have dealt with. From our first viewing, with a very helpful young lady (who I think was Emma), through to all your staff during the ongoing process. We would especially like to thank Wendy who has been superb in her very regular updates that I never had to chase for. I have always found in the past that my main criticism with agents is their lack of communication once purchase/sale is underway. It has been a constant annoyance and frustration when going through the emotional turmoil of buying and selling a property".

      kept us informed and communicated regularly
      The team at Parkers were super professional and helpful throughout the tortuous process of our purchase of a house in the area recently. They always kept us informed and communicated regularly with all parties despite being very busy. I am particularly grateful to Wendy and Adam for their kindness and patience during my moments of exasperation! I can happily recommend Parkers to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Bridport area.

Through the sale, leading to exchange Emma has been outstanding. I am so impressed. She ensured we had weekly updates and I'm sure was the only estate agent keeping up to date with all the persons within the chain, whereas our estate agent selling our property had no contact with us at all during this period from sale to exchange! I would certainly recommend Parkers and would like it noted to all staff what a fantastic job they are doing. I cannot thank you enough".
