    Walmsley Estate Agency has become recognised as one of the leading independent estate agencies in the Reading area, a reputation gleaned from providing quality sales and lettings services for over sixteen years from our prominently placed offices in Caversham. It may be a popularly held perception that all estate agents are the same, but at Walmsley, we are determined to dispel this misconception with excellent customer care and a level of service which we believe is truly second to none.

THE WALMSLEY DIFFERENCE

  • paragraph

    Finding you the perfect buyer
    image cannot be displayed
    We want to find you the perfect buyer - the buyer who will give you the best price for your property in a time frame that works best for you.

  • paragraph

    So how do we find them
    image cannot be displayed
    At Walmsley, we like to get to know the people who are out there actively looking to purchase. Understanding each individual applicant's needs means that we can make sure the right people are viewing your property - and because our experienced staff are infused with local knowledge and understanding, you can rest assured that we are providing quality, insightful accompanied viewings, promoting your property to its best advantage.

    Because we work longer hours
    image cannot be displayed
    We understand that everyone these days has a busy life, so to make things easier, we open later than most Reading agents. So when you finally find the time after work to book a viewing, or request a market appraisal, or simply raise an enquiry, you'll find us ready and waiting. Our staff will always be prepared to go the extra mile - and put in the extra hours - to help in whatever way they can.

  • paragraph

    Because of the way we market your property
    image cannot be displayed
    By knowing who's looking for a property, we can accurately target our marketing to find you the right buyer - fast. We enjoy a prominent presence on Rightmove, Facebook and in local papers, as well as the eye-catching window displays of our well located offices. Whatever the medium, we rely on good design, professional photography and carefully chosen words to guarantee your property makes an excellent first impression. Unlike other agents however, we don't rest on our laurels once the advertising is done. We have an extensive in-house database of active property hunters to draw on, so we can be proactive in directly contacting the right people - and because we like our staff to visit every new property, they can use their first-hand knowledge to bring your property to life, capturing interest and creating viewings.

  • paragraph

    Working hard for you
    Our success as an agency is largely down to the people we have working for us. Our clients tell us they find our staff committed, professional and dedicated, indeed, a pleasure to work with. That's because all of our staff are determined to secure you the best buyer and the best price. They are well trained, able to think outside the box and not afraid to battle your corner. We're here to work for you and will happily go the extra mile and put in the extra hours, to secure a successful completion. But if you think you've heard this all before, why not look at our Testimonials?

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      First class service and would highly recommend.
      Ms Griffin - Overton Drive, Caversham 

      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.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Thanks again to Simon and the team
      Mr Hunt - Grove Road, Caversham

      T his is the second time I have used Walmsley Estate Agents to sell a house in Caversham. I never felt I was just selling my house; Walmsley have helped us to make the best decision for our family. Over several months, Simon Walmsley and his team have been there every step of the way. Walmsley Estate Agents of Caversham have always answered every query with professionalism and knowledge. I now consider Simon Walmsley a friend and would recommend him to anyone that is selling a house in Caversham. Thanks again to Simon and the team at Walmsley Estate Agents of Caversham.

    • Seller Testimonial

      The team have been brilliant
      Ms Buller - Moss Close, Caversham

      I have rented, bought and sold through Walmsley. Everything is dealt with efficiently and I have always been kept informed of all developments. Paula, Janet and Simon are always happy to help and provide advice and the rest of the team have been brilliant. Thank you so much for all your help over the years.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Superb estate agents.
      Mr Beard - Marsack Street, Caversham

      Superb estate agents. We were buying a property in Caversham and the sellers solicitor was useless. Paula and Francesca were able to navigate the solicitors and the chain to push through the sale before Christmas. Highly recommended.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Efficient, pro active and helpful
      Mrs Gatenby - Picton Way, Caversham 

      Walmsley have managed the letting of our property for over 5 years. Everyone I have dealt with during that time is always so efficient, pro active and helpful. I genuinely feel that my house is in a safe set of hands with them.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Nothing was too much trouble
      Mr Pitts-Drake - St Peters Avenue, Caversham

      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.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Very Obliging

      Mr F Zada - Picton Way, Caversham

      Excellent service. Very obliging through out the selling process. Would recommend without reservation

    • Seller Testimonial

      I will definitely be using them again
      Ms Phagura - Warren House, Caversham

      I cannot recommend Walmsley enough. I had my property on the market 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 viewing. Everyone was brilliant in helping me and a massive thanks to Francesca and Craig for being there on my journey! I will definitely be using them again as I am on the lookout to buy again this year. Thanks so much! :-)

    • Seller Testimonial

      Their patience and persistence has been admirable.
      Mr Flook - Heron Island, Caversham

       In difficult market conditions Paula and Simon have done a great job selling the property. Covid has made the process longer and more frustrating but their patience and persistence has been admirable.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr and Mrs Fontannaz, - Tredegar Road, Caversham 

       I was impressed when enquiring about a purchase property - an example to the Estate Agency Business
