Whitlocks is the town's longest established estate agent having traded in Penzance for over 30 years. All the staff have local Cornish links, some going back many generations, some being schooled and raised here in the town. This gives the company a real community feel as we are personally known to so many people and have sold some local houses more than once. Whitlocks specialises in selling and letting residential property. We deliberately don't have in-house conveyancing or financial services but can make recommendations to you if needed. We cover all of the Penwith peninsula, from St Ives and Porthleven to Lands End which gives us the edge over many agents who cover larger areas and as a consequence are less in touch with the subtleties of their local housing stock. The rental side of the business is a key element of Whitlocks and prides itself on personal attention and fairness. We have no hidden charges, no fees for contract renewal and the most reasonable referencing and set up costs for tenants in the area. As a result many of our tenants and landlords come back to us again and again. The team is made up of three partners, Nigel Bedford, Fleur Carpenter and Roland Woods with a combined experience of over 70 years in the industry. They are supported by Michelle Mills, Carolyn Warren, Will Bick, Claire Marshall and Liz Hughes who bring with them a strong local knowledge and lots of experience in customer service. All this local focus does not mean no national or international coverage thought. All our properties are advertised on our website as well as Rightmove, Prime Location and Zoopla. All our viewings are escorted by a member of the team, usually with the seller absent so that you can take your time, concentrate on the house and talk freely. If you are looking to buy, sell or rent we would be delighted to hear from you.
