Ive dealt with Prospect many times and always very pleased with the level of professionalism throughout the process. A big shout out to Nikki Gardener, communication was always clear and prompt, and any queries were dealt with efficiently. Nikki demonstrated a good understanding of the market and kept me well informed at every stage. Overall, a reliable and responsive experience that made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and well managed.

We recently sold our property through Prospect and overall, the experience was smooth and professionally managed. My main contact was Daniel Simmonds and he along with the team were responsive, informative, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Communication was generally prompt, and any queries I had were answered clearly. I appreciated the regular updates and honest feedback after each viewing, which helped us make informed decisions.
Ill happily recommend Daniel and Prospect to others looking to sell their property. Their local expertise and professional approach helped make a potentially stressful process much more manageable. Thank you

Dan Simmonds at Prospect Wokingham comes highly recommended. His customer service, attention to detail and flexibility have been exceptional. From a last minute viewing, to great advice and a fantastic broker recommendation (thank you Jo), he had been helpful, friendly and had bent over backwards to make things work. Hes just on it. I cant recommend him enough.

This is a review of Lauren Bastone from Prospect in her role as Property Manager for my property in Wokingham.
Lauren is fantastic - she is friendly, professional, proactive, and seems to magically anticipate all of my thoughts and wishes regarding the property. She has handled a situation with the tenants with diplomacy and assuredness, with an excellent resolution.

I dealt with Charlotte Morgan initially, who showed me the property and helped get things set up in terms of the paperwork. Then the property manager Nikki Gardner took over and has been assisting me in multiple other ways, particularly in terms of updating the rental agreement to suit my circumstances and needs, and she also helped me communicate with the landlord. She has been really prompt in replying to emails, and has generally helped to resolve any issues quite quickly. I would recommend both!

Charlotte at Prospects in Wokingham has been absolutely brilliant in finding new tenants for our property. On both occasions good tenants were found within a 24hour period, quite unbelievable comparing this to our old agency that lost us tenants over months of being on the market. Charlotte was very professional, extremely responsive, I would highly recommend using Prospects in Wokingham from my experience
