Meet the lettings team

  • Introduction

    Mission Statement
    image cannot be displayed

    Parkmans operates as one Team. As an Accredited Agent regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. We are therefore highly skilled and dedicated on ensuring that clients receive the best level of service one could expect. We never forget that we are dealing with people's lives and homes as well as their investments.

    Our record of finding tenants and keeping property investments returns high is second to none. Ask us and we will tell you our record occupancy rates on behalf of our clients; a record we are proud of and work hard to maintain. We are proud to admit that we are currently achieving an average un-occupancy rate of 2% based on the entire range of property that we manage.

    Even before properties are let, we advise on likely returns and suitability of the property in question, and we provide pre-purchase consultancy freely. Our experience enables us to advise on likely returns and costs, areas that prove good investments and pitfalls to avoid. We offer this no obligation service as a way of introducing ourselves to you - many satisfied investors are now long-term clients

    Testimonials from Landlords

    • Landlord Testimonial

      An incredible service
      Parkman's managed our property's rental, flawlessly, for over 5 years. So when the time came to sell and choose an estate agent, Parkman's were our first choice. They recommended excellent solicitors and worked hard to ensure we were kept 'in the loop' at all times. Our house was sold very quickly and the whole process felt stress free. An incredible service.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Great service
      I would like to take this opportunity to thank all at Parkmans for a great service and I look forward a successful conclusion to this matter and the continuation of Parkmans services for many years to come

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Always taken the time
      Thank you for all you have done for us over 25 years. You have always taken the time to look after us, as well as the the tenants and property. This has enabled us to get on with life here in mid Wales. We are now looking forward to our 'retirement'

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Second to none
      We were apprehensive about attempting to sell again after our last experience, but from the very beginning I knew that we were in safe hands as we have been, since Parkman's first took over as our letting agent. I think I've said it before but I still believe that the level of service and customer care offered by Parkman's is not only very rare these days, but is also second to none.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Professionalism
      Professionalism, Value Managed my Rented property for 4 yrs to date. Excellent service and professional attitude to all issues.

    Testimonials from Tenants

    • Tenant Testimonial

      Care about their tenants
      Mr Dean - I just want to say thank you very much as we're ending our tenancy with you at Parkmans today. Every time we had an issue, you guys solved it in no time. I really felt that you guys had our backs. We have rented before with other agents and the one thing that I always dreaded was the house inspections every six months. But not so with Parkmans, it was always fun and non-judgemental. They really do seem to care about their tenants. From the moment we first viewed the property through the duration of our tenancy, it was a very positive experience. Thank you so much. I want to give a big thank you to Leah
