General enquiries
Guy has 30 years property experience gained embedded in the UK South East Property market. He has a well-rounded perspective of the industry having worked for major PLC companies and Property consultancies and so has a joined-up appreciation of how to link landlords to tenants.

Has transacted on individual landmark instructions across the South East as well as major business parks and has unique experience in repositioning and relaunching properties to the market.
Outside of work Guy who is a Husband and Father of three, enjoys country runs with Chase, his Golden Retriever. Guy also sets himself an annual challenge and has previously rowed the English Channel and walked and run the 215 mile length of the river Thames from source to sea.
Guy Parkes, partner in our Thames Valley office in Reading, joined the Battle & Bunce Talking Property podcast at Apex Reading to go over the office market in the Thames Valley prop market, situated to the west of London and bordered by the M3, M4 and M40 motorways.
There is a real sense of having turned a corner in the Reading office market which has experienced the largest number of transactions than any other town in the region, and the largest square footage let post-pandemic.
We recently attended a Life Sciences conference at the Shard in London – a networking event for the UK’s top Life Sciences professionals, including developers, investors and leaders who are shaping the life sciences environment in the UK.
In one of the biggest deals in 2023 the Ministry of Justice has signed on two floors at Abbey Gardens, a landmark town centre office. The transaction, which is one of the largest in Reading this year was negotiated on behalf of Palm Capital by property consultancy Vail Williams
Norman Place in Reading, the former home of Covéa Insurance is to be transformed and developed to provide up to 234 highly sustainable BtR homes.
The two companies are moving into the fourth floor at the landmark Three Arlington Square in Bracknell.
Vail Williams’ new View West publication covers deals and trends across the office, industrial and logistics sectors in the Thames Valley and Surrey areas and was compiled by regional experts at the property consultancy, including Partners Guy Parkes, top, and Charlie Nicholson
2022 has been the lightbulb moment when businesses have realised that creativity, collaboration and connection amongst their colleagues has suffered long enough, resulting in a widespread acceptance that hybrid working is the way forward.
We are pleased to bring you our latest report on the Thames Valley and Surrey property landscape with the publication of View West: Offices, Industrial & Logistics.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I excel at talking and socialising, and I believe it’s these skills which help me to maintain a finger on the pulse of the Thames Valley property market. How?
Training provider iHasco has taken the entire fourth floor of newly refurbished Three Arlington Square in Bracknell’s biggest office letting of the year.
Office and industrial activity across the Thames Valley region are remaining buoyant in the first quarter of 2022, driven primarily by lease events and pent-up demand as businesses seek high-quality premises at a smaller footprint.
A new care home is to be developed west of Reading town centre following a £3.5 million property deal for the former radio station.
Whilst Omicron slowed office activity towards the end of 2021, take up levels have been normalising in Q1.
The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) has taken the entire ground floor of refurbished Phoenix House in Bracknell in the biggest office letting in the town this year.
The first six months of 2021 saw businesses across the Thames Valley begin to rethink their future workplace strategy for a post-pandemic world.
