We've just moved out of a rental property managed by NEA having bought our first home and have had a great experience!
The application process last year was smooth and clear and the property management since then by Ashley has been stellar. As an old Victorian terrace the house has had a few bits of maintenance needed, but he's always been super responsive, incredibly helpful and quick to resolve whenever those issues arose.
Would highly recommend them as a letting agency.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude towards both the NEA Sales and Lettings teams in managing the rental of our property and its subsequent sale.
Having gone through a failed sales process the year before with a different estate agent, we decided to rent our property and engaged NEA Lettings to market and manage it for us. Roz and the Lettings team were very enthusiastic and professional, they made us feel at ease even though it was our first-time being landlords (and overseas landlords to further complicate matters). They were superb and managed to find great tenants for us within

As a landlord of 15+ years I can honestly say I’ve never met an Estate Agent that comes anywhere near as good as NEA. They are basically brilliant in every way.
They helped me gut and re-do a house that was in dire need of some TLC. Finding excellent tenants was a smooth and easy process. They are upfront, 100% honest and are always easily reached on the phone. If there is an issue in a property it is always dealt with quickly, efficiently and for a reasonable price. I honestly wouldn’t look at any other agent in Caversham and think the only shame is that they don’t have offices nationwide

As a first time buyer, Gareth and Mark were of huge assistance to me. They both managed to ease an awful lot of the stresses involved in a purchase. They are genuinely invested in finding the right property for you and are a great asset to have on your side when going through the whole process. I would definitely use them again!

I have not put a 0 because that is not an option ! This agency is letting two mid terrace houses with pets adjacent to my house (one cat and two dogs). Both let properties have broken perimeter fences and NEA agents insist that each landlord states each fence is not theirs taking no action. They rented a property to tenants with two dogs without a secure boundary and parts of the fence lacking proper wooden panels and having a wire mess that allows the dogs to see and bark at the neighbour in their own garden I have made clear that I am happy to repair one fence but not two, and asked them for

They are not professional, rented out an illegal shed as part of a HMO for accommodation.
The draft contract they send you is incorrect and they do not tailor it until last minute... but if you signed and it is legally binding.
They say all bills included, even TV license, later when you rent a room they say it is your responsibility... why can’t they just say that it is per room to declare and pay?
They arrange house checks too early, didn’t let us know if someone comes around to do some work in the communal area (which should be best practice).
They wanted to charge me check-out fee,
