About The Flatman Partnership, The Thinking Persons Estate Agent

Who Are We And What Do We Stand For?

Incorporated in 2005 but with property roots going back to the mid seventies, The Flatman Partnership offers one of the most diverse range of property services and depth of expertise available in Reading today and as a result has rapidly established itself as the frequent agent of choice for Property Professionals and experts in both the private and public sectors.

As a family run Independent business with a tightly knit, mature team and a vested interest in the local community, the depth of client care is unrivalled. We are frequently told by our customers that we are nothing like their perception of dealing with Estate Agents.

We know that good service is about effort. It is about strong communication and the willingness to wholeheartedly engage with the buying and selling public rather than hiding behind a computer sending emails. The readiness to go the extra mile has spectacular results.

Our warm public profile is important to us and we believe is key to making us approachable. We know the quality of the service we are offering and we are confident in the knowledge and experience which supports it, hence our ability to provide a sincere and no nonsense approach to our clients' property matters.

The Flatman Partnership Sponsors Loxwood Park Rangers

Loxwood Park Rangers have been playing in the Reading Sunday League for almost 25 years, and currently boast Partner Michael Flatman at the centre of defence. During their early years the club reached the final of the John Lusted Cup, and more recently claimed the Division Two East title. At that stage Loxwood had two teams with over 40 players signed on, and their future was assured when the club teamed up with talented U16 outfit Loddon Valley Rangers as their feeder team.

With manager Jason Harris and club treasurer Brian Smith working tirelessly behind the scenes, Loxwood Park Rangers are still one of most welcoming and well run clubs in the league. They have made a solid start to the season this year, and with the average age of their team now down in the mid 20s, the future looks bright.
