Why Choose Philip Martin Estate Agents in Cornwall

Choosing the right estate agent is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when selling, buying, or letting a property. At Philip Martin Estate Agents, we have been helping clients successfully move home across Truro, St Mawes, the Roseland Peninsula, and throughout Cornwall for over 40 years.

Our reputation has been built on trust, professionalism, and local expertise, and we are proud to be regarded as one of Cornwall’s most established and respected independent estate agencies.

Decades of Experience, Rooted in Cornwall

We are a truly independent, Cornish-owned firm. All five of our partners are from Cornish families, with four sharing agricultural backgrounds that give us deep ties to the Duchy and its communities. Headed by Senior Partner Philip Martin, the business has grown from a single office into a three-office practice covering Truro, St Mawes, and beyond.

This local knowledge sets us apart. We understand the subtleties of the Cornish property market — from city apartments in Truro to waterside homes in St Mawes, cottages on the Roseland Peninsula, and rural retreats across mid-Cornwall. Our experience enables us to provide accurate advice, realistic valuations, and marketing strategies tailored to each property.

Transparent Fees – Pay Only When We Deliver

At Philip Martin, there are:

• No upfront fees

• No hidden extras such as charges for accompanied viewings or professional photography

• No payment until completion

We believe estate agency should be about results, not risk. Our incentives are aligned with yours — we only get paid when your property sale reaches exchange of contracts. That way, you know we are as committed as you are to achieving the best possible outcome.

A Personal and Professional Service

Selling or letting a property can feel daunting. That’s why our mission is to make the process clear, smooth, and stress-free. We provide:

• Full support from start to finish — from initial market appraisal to completion

• Hands-on coordination between solicitors, surveyors, mortgage lenders, buyers, and sellers

• Regular updates and honest advice so you are never left in the dark

Our approach is simple: integrity, reliability, and communication. We don’t just list your property; we work tirelessly to keep every transaction moving forward.

Professional Standards You Can Trust

Two of our partners, Philip Martin and Steven Jenkin, are proud members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This internationally recognised qualification ensures our clients benefit from the highest professional standards and the reassurance of working with regulated experts.

This commitment to ethics, transparency, and quality assurance is at the heart of everything we do. It is why so many of our clients return to us again and again — and why we have built lasting relationships across Cornwall.

Expert Marketing for Maximum Exposure

To achieve the best results, your property needs to be seen by the right audience. At Philip Martin, we combine modern digital marketing with traditional advertising methods to ensure every home reaches its full potential. Our marketing includes:

• Listings on Rightmove, Onthemarket.com, and our own high-traffic website

• Professional brochures with floor plans, ordnance survey extracts, and photography

• Video marketing and social media campaigns

• A large and active client mailing list, updated daily with new instructions

This multi-channel approach ensures your property reaches thousands of qualified buyers and tenants, maximising interest and results.

Prime Office Locations in Truro and St Mawes

Our offices are strategically placed to capture both local and visitor interest:

• Truro Office: A prominent city-centre location opposite Truro Cathedral, attracting high levels of walk-in enquiries and footfall to our property displays.

• St Mawes Office: Overlooking the sea in one of the busiest parts of the village, next to the main car park, drawing interest from locals and holidaymakers alike.

"I would very much like to thank Philip Martin Estate Agents Truro for recently selling our home near Redruth. We truly appreciated her professional attitude which was maintained at all times, together with an accessible demeanour which, when dealing with buyers and sellers who may be under a great deal of stress, is not always achievable. Thank you."
