Great experience with Pittis Newport
We had a really positive experience with Pittis Newport throughout our house purchase. The team were very helpful, quick to follow up, and always proactive in chasing the seller and keeping things moving.
They made the whole process much smoother and a good experience overall. Thank you for all your support — highly recommended! Special thanks to Sean, Michelle and Louise ????... Read more

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience due to the sheer level of frustration I’ve had with this estate agent.
I trusted this agency to handle the sale of my property, and after four months on the market with zero offers and only 3 viewings, I can confidently say that they failed to deliver on every front.
The marketing was shockingly poor. The listing lacked any real effort or creativity. The photos were badly lit, poorly framed, and made my home look far less appealing than it actually is. There was no attempt to promote the property on social media, which in today’s market is simply unacceptable, even when I raised that as an issue they said they would promote on their socials, but didn’t. Other agents I later consulted were shocked by how little visibility the listing had.
To make matters worse, the agency made several false promises. From inflated expectations about viewings and buyer interest to claims that they were actively pushing the property, none of it added up. I received very little communication unless I chased them for updates, and any time I raised concerns, they were brushed aside.
When I finally had enough and requested for the listing to be removed, I had to chase them for over three weeks just to get confirmation. The lack of urgency and basic professionalism was staggering.
If you’re looking for an estate agent who will actively market your property, communicate clearly, and follow through on their commitments, look elsewhere. This experience has been both stressful and disappointing from beginning to end.... Read more

Having bought and sold many houses on the Island I have used most agents and really wish I had stayed with one I knew, not sure why I used Pittis this time but what a mistake.....no communication even after chasing daily.....no call backs even when promised and emails ignored. Having read other reviews it seems Shanklin branch is very good and Ross from Ventnor did try to help but I would caution against using Newport branch as you will have no consistency or help. Never normally write bad reviews as I feel it is always subjective but if I can spare someone the headache of trying to deal with a bad agent when much better are available then it's worth it....

I had a good time dealing with Jamie Gallop at the Newport Isle of Wight branch. He was very professional, helpful, and supportive all through our property search.
I wish I had found a suitable property with Pittis as I was so wowed by what he was doing in supporting customers.
I'll definitely recommend Pittis to my friends and family and hope at some point in the future I'll be able to buy another property through them.
Jamie is a star and a treasure any company would like to guard jealously.... Read more

Took a very long time after making intital enquiries to hear anything back and when we did it was just to be brushed off as though we weren't remotely important to them despite getting in very early on a new rental listing.
Have received far far better service from other agents in the local area even though none of them had anything for us it was still a good level of communication that we appreciated.
Just found it all to be very poor and as though we weren't worth dealing with for them like maybe we are scum to them or something? We will take our business elsewhere and be patient for the right thing to come up.... Read more

AMAZING!!
Please, please, if you are on the hunt for your dream family home, allow Pittis to help you. Even if you think you've got someone else that's great from elsewhere, just give them a go. If you want to know who to ask for, JAMIE G ALL THE WAY. He is nothing short of an exceptional asset to the team there. I have a very busy life with work and 2 small children and the poor man had to leave voicemails most times he called me but every time I called back or he did catch me he was courteous, friendly and truly couldn't be more helpful or understanding. As an anxious person this means the world. Right up until the end of my search Jamie was on the end of the phone and set up countless viewings for me, accomodating all my needs as sometimes the hours/days I needed weren't the most convenient, but he made it work. 10000000% recommend!!!...

For you seller's using Jamie as your point of contact, he won't allow anyone to offer more money/ view a property once he thinks he has the sale, even if the seller HAD NOT accepted an offer.

We had been trying to move house back in March 2020 but we lost our buyer due to the COVID lockdown. We struggled to get another buyer with our existing estate agent. We were worried we would lose our dream home. Andy from the Newport branch had showed us a couple of houses and knew our situation . We decided to switch to Pittis and Andy had sold our house before we even had the photographs taken. The house we brought was also through Pittis and they two branches worked amazingly well together to see our sale and purchase though to completion.

Commission is not a straight percentage on the sale price but is set at a percentage of the valuation so that you pay the same amount even if you have to drop the price in order to achieve a sale. They make an extra charge for photographs. Communication is bad and if they are busy then calls are directed to the mainland. The co-ordinator for the sale is based on the mainland and is always behind with what is actually happening. The solicitor that Pittis recommend is based on the mainland and everything is done online which may not suit older people not used to working in this way. You will need a printer and plenty of paper and ink! Better to choose a local solicitor yourself.... Read more

We can thus, with confidence, recommend Andy to effectively manage the selling of your property.
This is not something we would normally do. However, because of his consistent high level of service, we have no hesitation in doing so.
Andy always sticks to his word and keeps us well informed of all developments!
