I am currently in the process of buying my first property. Both Shelby Patching and Charlotte Kociaj have been amazing. They are professional, personable and informative which has been particularly reassuring given I am a first time buyer. They are always on hand to answer any questions. Thank you both and look forward to the journey ahead!

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.

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.

Awful 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

DO NOT USE MANN CHATHAM BRANCH! USE ACORN INSTEAD

I was with Purple bricks which turned out to be a nightmare. So I switched to Mann to sell my property in Blockmakers Court, hoping for a professional sale and support. I was not getting much viewing. I decided to do a renovation in the property to help improve interest and viewing. I then requested for new photos of the newly renovated property to be taken.

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.

Where 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 :(

Do 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.

Highly 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.

Shame 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.

We started visiting local estate agents but as soon as we stepped into Mann we instantly felt welcomed. Not only were they extremely friendly, but they are all individually lovely people who were supportive, honest and endlessly patient with us! Even though we have ended our current property search and house sale, we will in no doubt come back to Mann, highly recommend!

Ripped off £400

Having left the property much cleaner than it was when we moved in Mann Countrywide sent us a bill to professionally clean the house at a charge of £400. The fact the house was not professionally cleaned when we moved in and was in fact filthy and all confirmed by the leaving property report, was not mentioned. We will be following this up. There is nothing good written about this agency on this reputable site. Good luck! The ridiculous quote to clean was from "After Five Cleaning", Forest Hill.

IF BUYING A HOUSE? AVOID IF RENTING? AVOID IF NEEDING THE TOILET! GO THERE!

AVOID! If you value your timeAVOID!! If your value your dignityAVOID!!! If you value your moneyI went to see a flat down in Northfleet and the agent refused to take an official offer to the vendor as I didn't have an AIP. Fair Enough.Then I get spammed with voice mails and texts demanding to call them back. I called them back and I explained; There is no point me applying for an AIP if you haven't accepted my offer. As far as I know I can turn up to your premises with an AIP as requested for the offer amount and you can turn around and say SORRY vendor found a better offer from a different buyer. WASTE OF AIP.Anyhow, they finally gave in and said that they accepted my offer and to take out the AIP.I then spoke to my mortgage adviser and got the AIP and as I was driving to work I received a text message saying "vendor has decided to take another buyers offer".What kind of scum do you have to be to waste someone's time effort and money!?TRASHY company, I will never do business with them again and you shouldn't either!

GRAVESEND branch

GRAVESEND branch I’ve just sold flat in Northfleet and wanted to say I was happy with the service I received. I had a valuation done by both Ashlee and Lee Mellet as I had initially intended to sell earlier than I did. I found them both to be impressive and knowledgeable, and they were the clear winners out of the other agents I had round (well, joint first, but the other agent sent one person both times, so I knew that Mann had two people I trusted!). More importantly, I received an offer £2,000 more than my top range that I thought I might achieve. And the buyer had offered £4,000 less than this, but Ashlee was able to get the offer increased.Ryan who conducted my viewings was better than I had expected, being so young. Probably wrong to think that way I know. They were competitively priced for the service I received and I’m pleased I chose them. I’m glad I didn’t go with an online agent as I would likely have done the viewings myself and agreed a much lower price than Mann got for me. Some agents prices are ridiculously high, but I do feel you get what you pay for.I can’t say there aren’t better agents out there as I don’t know, but I would definitely recommend Mann

The service from Park gate Mann Co was very poor. The member of staff who valued our property set our expectations falsely. She advised we would only be held in our contract with them for 2 months despite not holding to this. We were also promised that she would do other things which never materialised. As soon as they had our business they had very little contact with us after this! Dishonest company to deal with.
