Really pleased! Recently bought a property through Philip Mann in Newhaven and was really impressed by their professional service. We were kept updated often and they even went the extra mile to facilitate contact with the seller in order to answer our questions and queries about the property making our eventual move a lot easier. Compared to other local estate agents, we received a much better service here and felt we were treated fairly and honestly which helped reassure us whilst buying our first home! Thanks very much- especially to Georgia who dealt with our house purchase!

We recently purchased a house in Newhaven with Philipp Mann and we are very happy with the service we received. Our agent, Georgia was great, really communicative and on it which gave us a sense of trust. Would definitely recommend Philipp Mann, they were the best out of any other estate agents in the area!

Phillip Mann staff have worked tirelessly and professionally with us to effect the sale of our daughter's flat in Newhaven. They have persisted through our need to get certificates validating the cladding of the building as a whole etc, and have consistently followed up queries put to them by potential buyers. We found them kind and thoughtful in their dealings with us. Highly recommend this team!

Report
Worst letting agent in the world I had ever dealt with, rented a 2 bed flat in newhaven, on returning keys to them, they kept all 1400 of deposits, blaming we had not cleaned the property despite it was professionally cleaned via a cleaning company costing us 300, the flat was returned spotless, in fact cleaner than when we moved in! They wanted to persuade us in using their own cleaning company who at the time quoted almost double.
We refused and contacted our own. They also blamed the paintwork throughout the flat needed repainting because we left it in a "bad" state when in fact the paint work had already aged when we moved in. Then the list goes on which I won't list them all out. We took back most of the deposit back via DPS thankfully but just thought we would inform others to stay away from the company. On another note, they are not the best company in terms of services they offer, the boiler broke down one time and we were left without boiler service for over 2 weeks. When questioned if they are able to arrange for a quicker service, they couldn't care less.

Although they didn't sell me what I was after, they were professional. They did come back to me with updates on a property I placed an offer on and knew the answers to many of the questions I asked. This SHOULD be the norm but so often is not the case. Happy to speak with them again should they have anything of interest.
