Getting the most out of your investment
  • paragraph

    Whether it's one property or 30 properties, your property portfolio is a big investment. You want to make sure it's protected throughout every tenancy - which is why you choose Prospect Estate Agents, the best letting agency in Berkshire and Surrey (UK Property Awards 2022/23). With ARLA Propertymark qualified letting agents and an award-winning property management team, you know that your properties in Reading are in safe hands with the Prospect Lettings team.

    We value your property

    When you book a lettings valuation with Prospect Reading, you're booking a valuation with award-winning lettings valuers who have an unmatched knowledge of the local rental property market. We'll give you an honest assessment of your property's rental value, taking into account:

    • the size, condition, and location of the property
    • similar properties recently let in your area
    • current economic and market conditions

    We will also offer advice on how to maximise your return on investment, whether that means transforming your property into a HMO, furnishing the property or marketing it as a short-term let.

    Members of ARLA, TDS and TPO

    From tenant referencing and deposits to inventory reports, you can rest assured that our systems and services are regulated by leading membership bodies and schemes within the property industry.

    Thorough tenant referencing

    Your property is one of your biggest assets, so it needs tenants that will treat it respect. We thoroughly vet every individual before moving forward with the tenancy to ensure that they will pay rent on time, every time; abide by tenancy rules; and generally be a considerate tenant.

    Rent protection insurance

    Our tenant referencing system is rock solid, but for the unlikely event that a tenant's situation changes, we offer our landlords rent protection insurance. With this cover, you will be able to still receive your rent if the tenant is unable or refusing to pay.

      • Seller Testimonial

        Nothing comes close to Prospect
        "I first came across Prospect Estate Agents when deciding to sell our property in Reading. They seemed knowledgeable and professional, and had a good presence in the local area. 
         
        Marketing was quick and efficient with superb communications. I was always notified when viewings were arranged. The property was tenanted, and Prospect co-ordinated viewings directly with them, and kept me in the loop. 
        Once we accepted an offer, Aimee (Transaction Support Co-ordinator) got involved. She took a very pro-active role in overseeing the whole process - from liaising with the buyer, chasing up queries and nudging the solicitors to keep things moving. Having Amiee as the Transaction Support Co-ordinator was a massive help! She was always chasing someone (in an efficient and helpful way!). Without her persistence, items get overlooked, forgotten, or just left on the pile of "things-to-do". Ultimately, thanks to Aimee, everything went smoothly and the sale is now complete. 

         Overall, I would highly recommend Prospect Estate Agents for both buyers and sellers. Having used many estate agents before, nothing comes close to Prospect. It's a huge benefit to deal with such an efficient and professional company." - Nigel, Reading
