    What do you need from your estate agent? A plush office? Lots of newspaper advertisements? A cheap deal, or an unrealistic assessment of your property's value? Probably none of these things. You need to know that you are gaining the best experienced professional advice there is, the company are trustworthy, have a proven track record and will achieve a firm sale on your behalf. How can you judge this?

    Assess their track record - how long have they been trading? Have they sold similar properties to your own? What do others say about them? What do they do?

    Our Knowledge and Experience

    Over the last 45 years Mansbridge Balment has evolved slowly to become the leading independent firm in our area, gaining knowledge and experience along the way, understanding the area we serve and how best to market the very different property types and styles we encounter. We have a balance of highly experienced staff and those keen to learn from that experience. A number of our offices were chosen to represent Relocation Agency Network (RAN), a division of Cartus, the leading worldwide relocation organization. RAN operate a rigorous selection policy and only the best estate agencies are chosen. The testamonials on the Rightmove website speak for themselves.

      Dear Sirs, I sold 8 The Glade and bought Blue Gates the Glade within the space of a few weeks. From instructing M & B to undertake a valuation on our for sale property and through to completion the staff were very polite and helpful.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Valuer Enthusiastic for the Property
      We asked three agents to visit and give a valuation. Dan Bryant stood out from the rest with his enthusiasm for the property we were selling and explained thoroughly what his agency would commit to in the promotion and selling process. After his initial visit he got back to us promptly with the paperwork and also arranged to obtain professional photographs that we had paid for through another agent. This was in contrast to another agent who took nearly two weeks to write to us following an valuation visit! Dan Bryant was very proactive and also a keen photographer, clambering up a steep railway embankment to capture a stunning aerial view of our house! (see attached). The rest of the staff at the Yelverton Office came to see the house so they could be knowledgeable during viewings and kept in regular contact. The online details of the property were refreshed regularly with new photographs which we provided and we were given regular updates and feedback. SP
    • Seller Testimonial

      Best agent for personal service
      I have sold a lot of properties over the years and I rate the Yelverton branch as one of the best for it's personal service, very helpful and approachable sales team. The main points I appreciated were: 1. It took 18 months to sell my late mother's house and in that time the property photographs were refreshed inside and out and the team didn't loose interest in the property and continued to actively market it. 2. I lived away from the property and the team were very good at reassuring me that the it was okay and they were taking the trouble to keep their eye on it. 3. I was kept up to date of progress with the viewings and feedback on the house and updated regularly when we had a buyer. Selling my mothers house was a stressful business but I felt I was in safe hands. S
    • Seller Testimonial

      Nothing was too difficult or too much trouble
      M&B were chosen, from the four estate agents who valued our property, solely on the enthusiasm, professionalism and realism of Dan Bryant for whom nothing was too difficult or too much trouble. Once selected the M&B team of Lynne White and Melanie Henderson were diligent and proactive in marketing the property which facilitated a reasonably quick sale. They exuded confidence that they would find a buyer quickly. Once the buyer was found Lynne kept pressure on the various solicitors to ensure things moved at a steady pace keeping us informed at every stage. I don't think we could have been served any better. They seemed genuinely pleased on completion. J

      Impressed by the way the agent handled the sale
      I was really impressed by the way in which Mansbridge Balment, Yelverton, have handled the sale of the house. Right from the word go, they have been extremely pleasant and professional and very pro-active in this sale. The communication they have each had with me and with each other has been amazing in both the amount and content and each of them are a real pleasure to work with. It made me feel as though we were all part of a very active team. They have let me know beforehand the date of each of the many viewings and immediately afterwards the feedback that has resulted. When I have asked them to take action, after discussion with them listening to their excellent advice, they have reacted immediately. Every part of the sale of a house from the intial photography, the details, the marketing, the sales and negotiation team works so well together. There is always a cheery and immediate answer to the phone and a quick reply to any message. I could not be more impressed. AND they came up with a great result. Well done. JE

    • Seller Testimonial

      Keeping in touch
      The property I was selling belonged to my father, now in a nursing home and my mother, recently deceased, and was vacant at the time. Initially Dan came to look at the property and value it for the purpose of settling my mother's estate, then later visited again with Lynn when the property went on the market. I followed their recommendation of valuation and from then on, handed everything over, including the keys to Lynn and Mel. The property was quickly advertised in the local paper and on internet sites. They handled all enquiries and viewings, all the time keeping me in touch with what was happening. When an offer was made, which I initially rejected, they negotiated an increase and we agreed on a price. They also recommended a solicitor who acted quickly and efficiently on my behalf. The whole process could not have been made any easier, and was handled with great sympathy and understanding in view of my mother's recent death. I have no hesitation in giving them an. Spreadbury
    • Seller Testimonial

      Pleased with the "can do" attitude
      From our very first meeting with Dan at "The Cottage" we were pleased with his "can do" attitude, knowledge of the local area and approachable personality. The photo's he produced of the cottage for the brochure were artistic and enchanting showing off this beautiful little Dartmoor cottage to it's best potential. Dan, Lynn and all the team were efficient and pleasant to deal with and kept us up to date with every appointment taking place and gave helpful feed back once viewing was over. As a result the property sold successfully within a month of going on the market and today we have completed. I cannot stress strongly enough what a good company this is to deal with and how helpful everyone has been - our grateful thanks to all the staff at Mansbridge Balment Yelverton Office. H.H.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Would use you again!
      Handled the property in a very professional way and got results. The property had been in the hands of another local agent for quite some time but was moved to Mansbridge a few months ago to get a sale. The House Brochure produced was of excellent quality with lots of lovely photos showing the house at its best. A 'Gem' of a brochure! Lots of viewings and after each one we were given feedback. As soon as a Purchaser was found, the Manager took over and handled the period running up to exchange and completion without any delays and keeping us informed at all times. It was stress free for us. Completion took place a few days ago. Well done to all the Team & we would use you again! Karen

      Trish is first rate
      Trish is first rate - she understands the area she sells in VERY well and got to know my property very well too. As a result prospective buyers were really impressed with her knowledge and attention to detail. A couple of viewers commented that she was the best they had come across. She suggested how to present the property and would arrive early for viewings to check that the property was well presented. She kept us fully informed and would take the time to find out about those who requested to view. She was also proactive in contacting prospective purchasers. She advised us every step of the way and I was so grateful for her unwavering cheerfulness and kindness. A true professional. Sally B.

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Our thanks to Lynn & team
      We had excellent service from Lynne White and other members of the team. Having committed to buying our chosen property which was empty at the time, we were concerned that there might have been unnoticed damage in the recent storms. Living a 4 hour drive away we phoned the office and one of the team actually volunteered to go and look around the house to put our minds at rest. He phoned back the same afternoon to say that all was fine. During the latter stages of the the legal process before exchanging contracts a problem was encoutered by our solicitor. Lynne then took a very proactive role in talking to the vendors and both solicitors, and we feel it was mainly thanks to her efforts that we finally exchanged on the day we had anticipated. Whenever we have been in contact with the office team we have always found them pleasant and extrememly helpful. Our thanks go to Lynne and her team for all the help they have given during our house purchase. Mr. & Mrs. B.
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Dealt with many problems well
      Lynne White was excellent and helped a great deal with organising both the exchange of Contracts and the Completion of Sale. She expertly dealt with all the many problems that arose during the negotiations. She managed all the people very well indeed and was a fair and calming influence. Melanie Henderson Smith was also excellent at contacting people and keeping all the information circulating around. L.D.
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Prompt and efficient service
      We had been looking to buy in the Yelverton area for some time, when we found the perfect property we were not the first prospective buyers. However the staff kept us fully informed as we marketed our own property in Sussex. This gave us the confidence to expedite our sale and eventually secure our new home in an ideal location. At every stage of the purchase we received prompt and efficient service from the friendly and professional team at Yelverton. P
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Good communication between buyer and seller
      The agents kept me well informed at each stage and facilitated good communications between myself and the vendor. I would certainly use them in the future, and their support on the day I moved in made a stressful day much easier to handle.
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Efficient and friendly and enjoyed the hamper
      Had a very positive experience when purchasing our property through Mansbridge and Balment in Yelverton.All the staff were helpful but we found Melanie to be exceptionally efficient and friendly . Nothing was too much trouble and anything she didn't know she found out for us very quickly . We will certainly use this office again if we decide to sell in the future . We were very surprised and grateful for the lovely festive hamper of local produce given to us whenwe completed on the property ,lovely touch. Thank you all. JU
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Very professional, lovely hamper on completion
      Mansbridge and Balmant were extremely helpful throughout our year-long search for a property. When it came to purchasing and negotiation, the whole process was very professional and smooth. However, the really good service came after the purchase was agreed - unusual, I know - as Melanie kept us in the loop with any news or progress. I have to say that our solicitor was not particularly good at updating us with important information, but Melanie seemed to somehow fill the gap here as well, confirming our completion and exchange dates. The new-home goodie basket was the icing on the cake. G
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Lovely friendly bunch of people
      Although I did not sell my house through Mansbridge even though they valued it for me, they alerted me to a house that had just come onto the market that turned out to be ideal for me to buy. Melanie was so helpful and although I often felt like I was nagging her, she was polite and willing to do what she could to help things along. Lovely friendly bunch of people in the Yelverton branch and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wishing to sell/buy in this area. Although Dan never got the chance to photograph my house, the photographs he does take however, are excellent and show that he is an expert in his ability to market a property. Nicola
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Calm, focussed and extremely helpful
      What should have been a quick sale/purchase became protracted with buyers surveys taking time and the seller becoming impatient with the timelines! We could have lost the purchase if Lynn had not been there to act as liaison between us and the seller. She was calm, focussed and extremely helpful, ensuring that all parties were continually talking and understanding of each other's situation. Thank you Lynn for example during we exchanged on our forever home x... Debbie & Chris
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Efficient and professional
      I found Melanie Henderson -Smith to be very efficient and professional in her conduct and dealings with myself and my wife. She followed up on our queries promptly and always returned calls. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any prospective clients. P.B.

      Helpful answering questions
      We were first time buyers and Lynn was more than helpful answering all the questions we had about the process of buying the property. We would definitely recommend! Chris

      Extremely helpful and professional
      I have recently purchased a property through this agency, and I found both Sophie and Trish to be extremely helpful and professional. They were able to iron out those small bumps that inevitably crop up on the way to completion. I do not hesitate to recommend them. They keep the community of Bere Alston at heart and have an in depth knowledge of the village and its people. It's a big well done and thank you from me. Clive
