Why Choose Philip Martin — Cornwall Estate Agents

Trusted Partners in Your Property Journey

Choosing the right estate agent is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when selling, buying, or letting a property. With over 40 years’ experience in Cornwall’s property market, Philip Martin has built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and local expertise that delivers results you can trust.


Decades of Local Experience

We are a truly independent, Cornish owned firm, led by partners who share deep roots in the Duchy and a strong understanding of its communities and property landscape. From city homes in Truro to coastal residences in St Mawes and rural properties across mid-Cornwall, our local knowledge enables accurate advice, realistic valuations, and tailored strategies for every type of property.


Transparent and Fair Fees

We believe estate agency should be about results, not risk. That’s why we operate with complete transparency:

  • No upfront fees

  • No hidden charges for viewings or photography

  • No payment until your sale reaches exchange of contracts

This means our incentives are aligned with yours — we only succeed when you do.


Professional and Personal Service

Selling or letting a property can be complex. At Philip Martin, we provide:

  • End-to-end support from valuation to completion

  • Hands-on coordination with solicitors, surveyors, lenders and all parties

  • Regular updates and honest guidance throughout the process

Our service combines professional rigour with personalised attention, keeping you informed so every decision is confident and clear.


Professional Standards You Can Rely On

We uphold the highest industry standards. Two of our partners, including Philip Martin and Steven Jenkin, are qualified members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) — a globally recognised benchmark of professional and ethical property practice.


Expert Marketing for Maximum Exposure

Achieving the best outcome means reaching the right audience. Our marketing approach includes:

  • Listings on major property portals (Rightmove, OnTheMarket, etc.)

  • Professional brochures with floor plans, mapping and photography

  • Digital campaigns and social media promotion

  • Targeted mailings to active buyers and investors

This multi?channel strategy ensures your property is presented effectively to qualified buyers or tenants.


Strategic Office Locations

Our offices in Truro and St Mawes are positioned to capture both local and visitor interest:

  • Truro – a prominent city centre location driving high visibility and walk in enquiries.

  • St Mawes – in a popular coastal village location, next to the main car park and visible to both residents and holidaymakers.

These physical presences complement our strong online visibility and broaden exposure for every listing.

"

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.
