Celebrating 40 Years of Philip Martin Estate Agents

Celebrating 40 Years of Philip Martin Estate Agents (1986–2026)

In 2026, Philip Martin Estate Agents proudly celebrates 40 years of trusted property expertise. Established in 1986, the firm has become one of Cornwall’s most respected independent estate agents, providing professional, knowledgeable, and personal advice to clients across the region.

For four decades, our focus has remained the same: delivering a high standard of service built on experience, integrity, and a genuine understanding of the Cornish property market.

A Business Built on Experience and Integrity

Founded in Truro, Philip Martin Estate Agents quickly established a reputation for sound advice and dependable service. Over the years, the business has grown to offer a comprehensive range of property services, including residential sales, lettings, valuations, auctions, and professional surveying.

Our experienced team of chartered surveyors, valuers, and property specialists brings clarity and confidence to every instruction, supporting clients through what is often one of life’s most important decisions. Whether buying, selling, letting, or investing, our clients value our straightforward approach and depth of local knowledge.

Serving Cornwall for 40 Years

The Cornish property market has changed considerably since 1986, and we have evolved with it. From period homes and rural properties to modern family houses and coastal residences, we have been privileged to handle a wide variety of property across Truro and the wider county.

Many of our clients return to us time and again, and much of our work continues to come through recommendation — a reflection of the long-standing relationships we have built within the community.

Traditional Values, Modern Approach

While our foundations are rooted in traditional estate agency values, we have always embraced progress. Today, we combine proven expertise with modern marketing, high-quality presentation, and up-to-date market insight to ensure each property is positioned effectively and reaches the right audience.

What has never changed is our commitment to personal service — taking the time to understand our clients’ needs and offering clear, considered advice throughout the process.

Thank You to Our Clients

As we mark our 40th anniversary, we would like to thank everyone who has trusted Philip Martin Estate Agents over the years — past and present clients, professional contacts, and the wider community. Your support has been instrumental in our continued success.

Looking Ahead

As the property market continues to evolve, Philip Martin Estate Agents remains committed to delivering the same high standards of professionalism, expertise, and service that have defined the business for four decades.

We look forward to continuing to serve Cornwall for many years to come.

"

The team at Phillip Martin have been second to none in both the letting and sale of our property. Communication has been superb throughout and advice thoughtful and constructive. They listened with care and guided us through the process with a friendly approach. We would highly recommend. A particular mention to the professionalism and warmth of both Holly and Aaron.

"

Great service start to finish from everyone I dealt with. Calls always returned, regular updates along the way. Elowen in particular went the extra mile helping to find an independent removal company when mine could not make the revised date. Very friendly & professional I really feel they helped keep everything moving.

"

James and his team handled a complex sale (house and adjacent land owned by a third party) with great professionalism and innovation and determination to secure our sale. He was also cognisant of our time scales in that we had not secured an onward purchase or rental property. James is an extremely approachable agent who always worked with us to successfully achieve our goals and certainly went ‘the extra mile’ when required. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

"We were so pleased with all the correspondence with Phillip Martin and you all certainly delivered a very professional and friendly service. We would particularly like to thank you for all your personal correspondence. It went above and beyond and we are truly grateful.  As I mentioned before we have only ever bought two houses and they were both through Phillip Martin. We will certainly use you guys in the future!"

Very efficient and personable service helped us find a perfect place. Trustworthy and effective. Thank you.

I recently sold a property through Philip Martin. The agent used throughout was Sean. He was knowledgeable & well informed and happy to answer any questions or queries. Then as we negotiated on the sale and proceeded through to completion he was always very quick and precise in communicating any updates. Highly recommended.
