The team at MANN estate Agent, Gillingham are most professional, very warm and friendly. Ria and her team went over and above to meet my tight deadline finding me with a home through her seamless service.

Great experience with the team in Gillingham. Very helpful and responsive. Good communication and drove the sale thru. Was selling a parents property so I wasn’t local but Richard Sawyer went out of his way to provide the support I needed.

Deeply Disappointing Experience, Strood Mann Sales and Letting Agents

Our experience with Mann Sales and Letting Agents Strood has been deeply disappointing. As someone with experience in leadership, I can confidently say that the issues my family faced clearly stem from leadership, as the agency has failed to take accountability for their poor service. The signs were there from the very first calls and continued all the way through. Appointment punctuality and coordination were major issues from the beginning. Scheduled viewings were consistently delayed, leaving us in uncomfortable situations and forcing us to personally show prospective buyers around our property. This lack of punctuality and disregard for our concerns was unacceptable. This not only inconvenienced us but also left us feeling uncomfortable and vulnerable. Moreover, prospective buyers also expressed dissatisfaction with their poor experience e.g left waiting outside properties, unclear instructions and poor communication.Transparency regarding the terms of the sole agency contract was also lacking. Critical details, such as the length of the agreement, were not adequately discussed, leaving us feeling misled and questioning the integrity of the process.Furthermore, the advertising of our property on Rightmove and other platforms was subpar. We were left to request enhancements and updates, reflecting poorly on the agency's commitment to effective marketing.Despite our attempts to address these issues, the agency has refused to take responsibility and has closed ranks. Even after following the 'official' complaints process, they have refused to allow us to alter the length of the contract or even to move to a multi-agency agreement, which is a basic and straightforward solution that can easily be done and has been advised by other professionals in the industry.I strongly caution against entrusting your property sale to Mann Sales and Letting Agents Strood. Should you decide to proceed with them, heed this advice: never concede to a sole agency contract, demand meticulous attention to the advertising of your property, and scrutinise every detail of the contract, particularly its duration. I firmly advocate for a contract length of no more than 4 weeks or 28 days. Furthermore, be resolute in avoiding coercion into utilising their in-house financial services. Despite our repeated insistence on retaining our trusted brokers, Mann Co persistently pressured us until we were compelled to inquire whether our decision to use our own brokers would pose a problem, emphasising the importance of asserting your preferences firmly.Overall, our experience has been disappointing, and we hope our feedback prompts Mann Sales and Letting Agents to reassess their practices, processes, and procedures and strive for improvement in the future. Now, we find ourselves left to wait out the length of the contract as they refuse to alter it. As a family with two young children, aged 2 and 4, it's evident that our needs have been consistently overlooked and disregarded throughout this entire ordeal.

The team were so lovely and helpful, we've spoken to a lot of companies over the past few months and Mann were by far the most supportive, professional and helpful. Really took time to understand our needs and find properties to suit us. Special shout out to Ria and Jane who were lovely to talk to throughout our experience

We are half way through the process of buying our very first home, we approached a number of estate agents, but ria at mann gillingham was by far the most welcoming! We booked to view our first house with ria and fell in love with it, ria was so professional and then talked us through the process of putting an offer in on the property. Explaining each step of the way. Ria has gone above and beyond every step of the way, calming my nerves and worries keeping me updated knowing how much of a crazy nervous lady iv been and not once has she complained about the ton of calls iv already made to her ( so sorry lol) this is a whole new process for both me and my hubby, so thankyou ria you have been our absolute superstar 💖 Reece also has been a Brilliant help in sourcing our mortgage for us, helping us go through all the paperwork as I just didn't have a clue so thankyou too reece. Mann at gillingham thankyou for everything you have done for us so far 😍 Lisa and Ross

Worst estate agent (£1200 not refunded)

Worst estate agent, whole company is full of scam (its mortgage advice, solicitor panel). They have taken advance payment of £399 for solicitor search and £798 for mortgage for my potential buy. Later the seller pulled from process and I have asked for refund, but they are not refunding my money. This is worst company in the UK to deal with property, mortgage, solicitor panel.

Mann & Co Gillingham branch have been great so far. I was anxious about selling my house but they have made me feel comfortable and confident in looking after me and my home. They had done lots of research in to my selling potential before they came to do my valuation. This put me at ease that they would be the right choice of estate agent for my house move.

Thank you to Ria for making this as painless as you possibly could. I really appreciate the communication and support throughout the sale. Big thanks to Angel and Olivia too - between you all, this has been far less stressful than previous experiences.

Great service and would definitely use again. I'm very big on being kept updated as well as being able to contact them. The phone was always answered within moments and if the person I wanted wasn't available, they would call back in a very reasonable time frame. The same with emails, they where always repsonded to very quickly. I experienced very different when trying to buy from other estate agents and having to leave a message with a main switch board and always having to chase. Mann was the complete opposite and played a big role in why we purchased our property and not one from another estate agent. We had no issues throughout the process. Eva, Richard and Darren where all very helpful and polite each time we spoke and it was nice to he able to have a laugh with them aswell. We went from offer accepted to completion within 9 weeks and Manns efficiency played a major role in that including answering the phone on a bank holiday which again, others we tried to contact didn't. Or ever called back Fryer leaving a message. Thank you team Mann Gillingham.

Do not touch this company! On false advertising relating to the 'service promise' and verbal sales pitch we stupidly signed the contract to sell a property. For minimum service we spent over £6000, which worked out extremely overinflated and extortionate. Despite an appeal, we have been offered £50 goodwill!! The 'investigation' is internal and all we were told is we signed the contract and that DOES NOT include any service. We would have not signed the contract if it had not been for the promised service! They have replaced the rip-off double glazing companies with how they conduct their business!!

Morgan 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!

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

Truly 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.

Using this estate agent cost me thousands of pounds. If they offer you services through their 'panel', refuse. As soon as things start to go wrong, they will advise you to stick with their business partners. It is understandable that things go wrong sometimes but for a sale to take 11 months and then to be told that you arent entitled to some sort of refund or discount is laughable. From my experience, this estate agent only serves their owns needs. As soon as there are issues (caused by the estate agent or otherwise), the customers needs come second.

Stay 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.
