Mansell McTaggart Expands with a new branch in Hove.

Mansell McTaggart Expands: A new branch opens in Hove, bringing expertise closer to home and increasing its presence in the area. 

We are thrilled to announce that Mansell McTaggart, one of the region’s leading estate agencies, is again expanding with the opening of a brand-new branch in the heart of Hove. This exciting development marks another milestone in their growth journey and commitment to providing exceptional service to clients.

A New Chapter in Hove

The jewel in the crown of Sussex’s beautiful coastline, Hove is known for its charming seaside atmosphere, diverse community, and bustling property market. With its unique blend of historic architecture and modern amenities, Hove has long been a desirable location for homebuyers and investors. Our new branch is strategically positioned to offer a comprehensive range of property services tailored to meet the needs of this dynamic market.

“We are incredibly excited to open our new flagship branch in Hove,” said Tom George, Director of Mansell McTaggart sales and lettings for Hove, Brighton and Steyning. “This expansion is a testament to our continued success and growth. We have always been committed to offering outstanding service, and with this new location, we are well-positioned to serve the vibrant community of Hove more effectively”.

As an owner-run business powered by the Mansell McTaggart brand, Tom took over the Brighton branch in early 2020, bringing over a decade of experience in the property industry with him.

Despite having to navigate a very tricky pandemic market and the challenges of opening a new business, thanks to the help of his now co-director Matt Thoburn and long-standing Brighton and Hove agent Fenton Scott, the trio grew the Brighton branch from a handful of properties for sale to one of the market leading agents in the area in its first year. 

Following Brighton’s success, Tom teamed up with Ross Margetts, an esteemed colleague with whom Tom has an incredible working relationship, together they launched Mansell McTaggart Steyning in 2022. Since then, they have built the Steyning Branch into a market leader having already helped over 150 Steyning (and surrounding areas) residents move. “The key to assisting as many home movers as possible is having the right team. A blend of experience and youthful passion for the profession has been crucial to Steyning’s success”, said Ross, Director of the Steyning office.

The lettings side of the business was simultaneously launched in both locations in 2022 with Wendy Tolfrey at the helm of the expansion who brought with her 25 years of experience and has overseen the vast, continued growth of the lettings department. “The strength of our sales and lettings success is abundantly recognised in our local communities and reflected in our impeccable online 5* reviews. I look forward to bringing the same service to the Hove office”, said Wendy, Lettings Director.  

Tom continued, “A new chapter begins in Hove in late September after a significant office refurbishment. The team and I are incredibly excited to get started. We can’t wait to assist as many people as possible on their property journey along with supporting other local businesses and integrating into the wider community.”
