GoogleAmelia at Mann was so kind, professional and efficient dealing with the sensitive sale of my mum’s house. She ensured we were aware of all the options and led the team to provide us with a smooth and angst free sale and successful completion. Very impressed and would recommend.

TrustpilotA flat with wheelchair access.
I used Mann Lettings when I was looking for a flat to rent in the Margate area. I use a wheelchair so I needed a flat with access. With the help of Andy from the Margate office I found a place! Then Sue Sanders from the management team helped with the contracts and all the other problems with moving house. The whole experience has been easy and the team from Mann have made it easy and hassle free. On a scale of 1 to 5 I'd give the a 6 !

TrustpilotHorrible experience as tenants
Horrible experience as tenants. Multiple issues beginning from ignoring maintenance requests as tenants to not responding to emails regarding deposit return after tenancy. Even ignored our request for more information regarding extending the tenancy - proceeded to act as if not inquired and upon questioning why, they said that we should've made a request. The agency doesn't communicate between each other and does not provide timely responses to emails and completely ignores questions asked through their website. As tenants cannot really choose the agency, a warning to landlords that the agency is highly incompetent

TrustpilotMorgan Knott
I had the pleasure of being assisted by Morgan Knott, and she has been by far the most helpful and supportive person I’ve encountered during the house-hunting process. She is prompt, thorough, and incredibly easy to talk to, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Morgan goes above and beyond to provide clear guidance and support every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated estate agent.

I am writing this review of Morgan Knott, who is an Estate Agent for Mann Countrywide. Morgan showed me around a property a few months ago, and I thought she was knowledgeable about the market and had good ideas about potential property renovation. She was also a good communicator in my opinion, so I was always clear how likely my bids were to be successful, and what the thoughts of the vendor were. Good job!

TrustpilotVery good service overall
Very good service overall. The team were professional, friendly, and efficient throughout the process. A mention to the manager, Jamie, who was extremely helpful, approachable, and always happy to answer questions and explain things clearly. Communication was good and any small delays were handled well. Overall, a very positive experience and I would recommend Mann Countrywide.

Absolutely disappointed and regretting I chose MANN woolwich , Victoria wasn’t supportive and helpful at all, I rented a house 3 weeks ago, when I went in there was no hot water at all. Been chasing and going to the agency in woolwich every day and until today there is still not hot water in the property. Never ever trust them especially Victoria. I can’t believe that in 21st century I need to use kettle to have shower . Thank you @mannwoolwich

Do not ever use Mann (North End especially) this estate agent is without a doubt the worst agent ever!!! Full of lies, bad advice and unprofessional. Avoid at all cost.

TrustpilotTruly Awful Experience
I know that estate agents have a generally bad reputation but Mann & Co South Croydon branch take the biscuit! We dealt with Eve when we were trying to purchase a flat & it was an awful experience! On viewing the flat it looked reasonable inside and we were told all it needed was a lick of paint and there were no major problems but when we got our survey done it indicated that basically the flat is uninhabitable due to damp that is so bad it is a potential health hazard and the owner had tried to cover it up with paint and hardboard so it did look reasonable to lay people like us.What a dirty trick by the owner! Walls were in danger of falling down and there were many other serious problems.I am disgusted that we never had an inkling about the bad state of the flat before the survey due to the cover up job by the owner. I am not saying that Eve or the agents were in any way complicit in the cover up or even aware of it ,nor am I saying she tried to knowingly mislead us about the condition of the property and maybe she was not aware of the bad condition of the flat herself,however,this hardly inspires confidence in the agents and she should have known! If she did know about the condition of the property then I think she was acting illegally in not informing us about all the serious problems ,but of course that would be hard to prove.It is a definite loophole in the law which is ripe for exploitation by dishonest agents. We will never have anything to do with Mann again.It would seem that these agents don’t give a damn about buyers or the condition of a property and just want to rush a sale through so they can get their big fat fee. Buyers beware! They may not be acting illegally but I would question their ethics,or lack of,especially as they had told us there were no serious problems and it is no wonder that estate agents have such a terrible reputation.Also they refused to take the property off the market after the offer had been accepted by the owner which left us in danger of being gazumped.They just don’t seem to care about gazumping.Judging by all the other bad reviews many people have had a terrible experience with Mann & Co and I would advise you to avoid this dodgy bunch like the plague,it was a truly awful experience! There should be laws to protect the buyer and prevent the wasted time and money on solicitor and survey fees when you are forced to pull out of a sale due to a less than honest owner covering up the bad condition of a property which is only revealed by an expensive survey.Agents should be forced to check the condition of a property and inform buyers if there are major problems,unfortunately it seems you can’t rely on some agents to do this (certainly not Mann & Co) and legislation is needed.

TrustpilotStay away from this letting agency
They played with me for over 2 weeks about an apartment in Waterlooville. Had my credit check, provide excellent references from my landlord, kept lying to me telling me that everything will be fine. Complained that my pension amounts were at several dates in the month ( I received several, from US, France and UK sometimes the dates vary from one day) my pension amount were way above and the first time, they could confirm only half of it even though they had my bank statements. Stay away from Mann & Co Countrywide. Countrywide Morgage was one of the bank scandal ( 2007/2008) in the US which led to the subprime and people losing their home.

TrustpilotAwful experience with Mann
Awful experience with Mann. Unfortunately I was the buyer so was unable to escape using this agent. They are bullies and made the whole experience incredibly stressful for me. Tried to manipulate me into using their solicitor, spoke to me like dirt on phone calls, told me they were 'bored' of the situation I was in when the seller and I had a disagreement about something that was broken in the property and I wasn't being allowed entry to make sure it was fixed before completing, and delayed the process by taking weeks to book in viewings as they would forget to call me with available days. I will never use Mann and would be put off buying a property who are using them

Highly recommend Mann Estate Agents for selling your house, especially the Beckenham Branch, they were brilliant. After a valuation where they actually listened to us and took our needs into consideration, they organised 10 viewings for the 1st Saturday, and another 8 on the following Tuesday, and only brought qualified buyers. That was it, only 2 viewing days and we got 2 offers. Highly recommend them.They also helped keep the sale moving forward right up to exchanging and completion, making sure we knew if anything was slipping and needed to be chased.Will definitely only go through them again.

TrustpilotWhere do I even start…
if I could give 0 stars I really would because my experience with Mann Lettings was ABYSMAL from the very beginning. The first time we asked to view the property, we arranged a viewing but when we arrived at the property to view it nobody from the letting agency was there. When we called up, we discovered that the letting agency had confused our booking with another client who had cancelled their booking. We therefore had to view the property with the tenant and no letting agent. Please bear in mind that all the tenants personal belongings were still in the property when we viewed it. We decided that we actually did like the property and we would like to move into this house, so we followed all the normal procedure signed all the contracts paid the holding deposit only to then be told that we wouldn’t be able to move into the property on the given date because the tenants who were in the property were delayed moving out. Fair enough I guess, as this is not their fault. However the way that this was handled was very poor. Communication was POOR, We kept getting moving dates and then those dates being retracted without telling us why this was happening. They weren’t very helpful or caring of our situation at all. Overall we ended up waiting almost 2 months for this property. So after two months of waiting we wanted to view the property empty before we moved into the house as we had generally forgotten exactly what the house looked like. The letting agency basically told us that this was not possible as they would receive the keys at night on the day before we moved in. On the moving day when we arrived at the property there was so many issues: the faucet in the kitchen was leaking, there was a crack in the wall, there was mould along the skirting board, and the manager of the flat (who was the landlords father) was very patronising, condescending and out right rude. We were trying to resolve the issues at hand without arguing or being a nuisance but the manager did not want to hear it and wouldn’t even consider compromise. Eventually the actual landlord arrived, who was a little more understanding and easier to communicate with, but at this point we were really at our wits end. We also discovered from the landlord that they had offered the letting agent a week in between the last tenant moving out and us moving in, in order to give time for us to view the property empty and sort out any issues that needed to be sorted before we moved in. The letting agent told the landlord that we would not want this week because we “wanted to move in asap” which was untrue. The letting agent failed to communicate that the landlord was willing to give a week before we move in, and this was frustrating as this is something that we would have been interested in. About an hour and a half after collecting the keys to the property we decided to terminate our contract due to negligence, slack, poor communication, and general bad service. I DO NOT recommend to use this letting agent, but if you do, good luck :(

TrustpilotDo not rent your property out through these clowns!!
Just move anyone in. Arrogant and have no knowledge at all about Lettings. Reported issues regards to the tenants twice with Etienne is the Ashford branch and he’s exact words were I know the property so they shouldn’t be doing it and leave it with him will be resolved. Nothing done and got worse. Wrote an email to the manager nothing back . Sent a complaint and got a reply but the reply was clearly cut and paste as it was asking me questions that if they read the email wouldn’t need to be asked. Absolute jokers. Do not use they do not care about the property or the people who live next to who they move in.

TrustpilotHighly recommended as a friendly, approachable and professional agency
Mann Waterlooville have recently sold my BTL property during Covid.After a bumpy start where the valuation was over optimistic (I said at the time I thought it was too high) the property sold after I reduced the price twice in 2 weeks. I developed a really good rapport with Di Furmedge, who wasn't my initial contact.Once the offer was accepted Di kept the ball in the air through the rest of the process, relentlessly pursuing both sets of solicitors and the buyer to ensure all the paperwork came together and kept communication open throughout. Katie too kept in touch and they were both extremely flexible, professional and thorough. Nothing was too much trouble.I opted to use Mann Countrywide panel of solicitors, and was initially a bit concerned as this was an Online portal - this proved to be an extremely good move. Everything was uploaded and viewable in the documents area, there was a great timeline to follow progress and a nice messaging centre for any questions or queries, manned by real people, not robots!The entire process from instruction to completion took a week under 4 months.An excellent outcome more especially during these really awkward trying times. Viewings were never refused nor a problem.Highly recommended as a friendly, approachable and professional agency.

TrustpilotThank you to Amelia at Maidstone branch
Amelia provided a fantastic service. She was extremely professional whilst being friendly, kind and caring. She met me at the train station to take me to view three properties then dropped me back to the station again. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She certainly went that extra mile. I really appreciated what she did and would highly recommend Amelia without a shadow of doubt. Thank again.

TrustpilotShame you can't give no stars
Shame you can't give no stars. Our tenancy through them was a nightmare from start to finish. The staff are inexperienced and naive, & lost us a tenancy due to inflexibility. The tenant they did gain left after 4 months with zero notice, it took 6 months to get the deposit back, as rent owing, us chasing at every step. At which point they had the cheek to deduct £78 for a tax service we have no need of and which is for the financial year after we left them. There was also damage done but not enough deposit to cover it. Having read a comment by a previous landlord, we agree, I'm not sure that Manns tenant checks are worth anything at all.

GoogleThe whole team were very professional and efficient from our first visit to Completion and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble. Sam and Karen were brilliant and could not have worked harder to ensure we completed on time to preserve the chain. We can’t recommend them enough.
Thank you for your superb 5* review of the great service you received, it is a pleasure to read and I will pass on your kind words to all involved. Thank you for your recommendation. Best wishes, Lucy.
