About Mansell McTaggart, Crowborough

The Cross, Eridge Road, Crowborough, TN6 2SJ

Why so many people trust Mansell McTaggart to sell their property

Bigger is better

With 20 offices across Sussex and into Surrey, we have plenty of experience to draw on, so you can be sure we know the market when it comes to discussing the value of your property.

This also means that we will have lots of buyers registered, and so will be very likely to find a buyer for you as soon as possible.

No unreasonable tie-ins

We NEVER tie you into one of those over-long contracts. We think it should be our service that keeps you with us, not a legal agreement. So at Mansell McTaggart Crowborough we ask for a commitment of only 3 weeks - and knowing this helps ensure we work hard for you right up to completion day.

The service you would expect

We also take great care to make sure that the service we offer you is just what you would expect it to be. For example, we are happy to accompany viewings, and always make sure the relevant negotiators have all visited your property before marketing begins - we know how annoying it is to be shown around by a 'negotiator' who has no knowledge of your property.

Mortgages, insurance and financial planning

We also work with trusted specialists to help our customers find the right mortgage, insurance and other financial products. Speak to us on 01892 662668 for an initial, no-obligation discussion with no pressure to take things further. That's a promise.

Get the ball rolling

Whether you are thinking seriously about selling, or just curious on the value of your home, please do get in touch for a free, no-obligation valuation. You can call us on 01892 662668.
