TrustpilotDeeply 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.

GoogleThe service I received from the entire team at Mann Portsmouth (special thanks to Shaun Joyce and Jamie Haynes!) was brilliant from start to finish. The sales team were flexible doing viewings and very professional, answered all questions and had solicitors recommended which made everything easier and quicker.
Everything was explained so well and nothing was too much trouble; the value for money was excellent! Thank you!

GoogleI called today to book a viewing for a flat. A lady takes my email address, phone number, full name etc. She tells me I will receive a viewing confirmation via text. 3 hours later still nothing. I call again and speak to Tom. He is confused as to why I have not received the text. He checks something and then reassures me I should receive the text message this time. Guess what? Still nothing. Around half an hour later I call again and speak to the same Tom. I double check with him my phone number and ask him to just send me the viewing confirmation via email. He guarantees he will send the confirmation via email and text message. 6 hours later, absolutely nothing. Steer clear of this agency

TrustpilotWorst 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.

After several months of searching, browsing, I contacted Mann Portsmouth and it was the right decision. Joshua (specialist of Mann) showed maximum competence and professionalism.
