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.

Office market confidence is returning across the Thames Valley, Oxford and Surrey but a lack of new industrial supply remains a core issue for the commercial market.
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.

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.
