About Us
Philip Martin Estate Agents was established in 1986, by Philip Martin himself. A Cornishman at heart, setting up this firm in the homeland made sense, and in turn he made it successful. Fast forward 37 years, and we have a renowned independent firm that consists of Chartered Surveyors, Valuers and Auctioneers that take pride in delivering the best possible service to all our clients and contacts.
As a firm, we are proud to be Cornish. Our roots here in the Duchy are what ground us to the land we call home. Remarkably, all five partners here at Philip Martin are Cornish, and we pride ourselves on drawing on this heritage, our tremendous local knowledge and a deep understanding for the landscape that surrounds us. This allows us to provide a unique and personalized service to our clients, whether they are buying, selling, letting or renting properties in mid and west Cornwall.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of services to our clients, including property sales, lettings, and management, as well as chartered surveying, valuation, and auctioneering services. Our team of experienced and knowledgeable professionals is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service, ensuring that every client receives a personalized and tailored experience.
Our sales department is well-versed in the local property market, with extensive knowledge of the area and current market trends. We offer a free, no-obligation valuation service, where our experts will assess the value of your property and provide guidance on the best way to market it.
Our lettings department offers a comprehensive range of services, including tenant finding, full property management, and rent collection. We understand the importance of finding the right tenant for your property and ensuring that your investment is well-maintained.
Meet the Team
Our firm is headed up by five partners, all with Cornish heritage to be proud of, four of which have a strong agricultural background - the backbone of Cornish life. Our agency is headed up by senior partner Philip Martin, and followed by partners Steven Jenkin, James Harvey, Sean Johnston, and Aaron Davey, along with an expert team that works hard to deliver what they say they will deliver.
Our Ethos
Philip Martin Estate Agents hold loyalty and professionalism to a high standard. We aim to provide a high-quality service to our clients without compromising our core business, which means we do not sell additional services such as conveyancing, insurance, or mortgages in order to get by. We do so on merit, thanks to our outstanding level of customer care, diligent work ethic, and the compassion we have for the journey you are embarking on.
Service Experience
The service received by customers at this establishment has been a mixed bag, with one reviewer having a positive experience and another having a negative one.
Positive Experience

Negative Experience
On the other hand, Char had a very different experience. She rated her encounter as 1 star and found the staff to be rude, making it clear that families are not welcome. She felt that the staff's behavior was unacceptable and lacked discretion.
