We had the pleasure of both selling and purchasing our new home through Pittis (Cowes).
From our very first encounter with Nathan we knew we would be in great hands.
Our property sold the very first open day, which is amazing considering the current market. When our original purchase with a different agent fell through, the Cowes team quickly assisted us.
We have just moved and couldn’t be happier with the service that was provided by the Cowes team. Everyone went above and beyond for us, nothing was ever too much trouble. Both Nathan and Paul made our whole experience stress free with their attentive service.
We highly recommend the Cowes Pittis team.... Read more

Dealing with the Pittis team gave us absolute confidence. Weeks into our sale Nathan was promoted but the transition to the rest of the team was flawless.
Whenever I rang the office with a query or concern the guys gave me some good assurances.

With the emphasis currently being on resourcing available properties, the quality of service and time given to prospective buyers has dwindled.
However, Maria Gregory (Senior Negotiator) still offers a quality service through efficiency and being proactive. If Maria doesn't know she finds out and her manner and honest support has been very refreshing. Whilst others forget, Maria is intelligent in recognising that today's Buyer is tomorrow's Seller. Thanks Maria... Read more

I was really impressed how efficiently Maria Gregory (senior sale advisor) handled my inquiry. She asked every single question relevant to my requirements and it was all confirmed in an email within in a day. Excellent keep up the good work !!... Read more

We have recently purchased our lovely cottage with the help of Shonaigh and her team. Shonaigh’s support and professionalism throughout the purchase was so highly appreciated. When we came across some hurdles (as you often do in house purchases) the team were supportive and helpful so that resolutions could be found that worked for both the seller but also us as buyers. Thank you so much. We can’t recommend you enough.... Read more

If you're asking who to sell with, don't. Just use Pittis. I bought my house through them and they were great and now I've sold my house through them and I couldn't be happier. Nothing was too much trouble, they chased for me and minimised the stress for me (as a new Mum and worrier; this was a massive relief). The team are all friendly and they all knew what was going on with my sale, even if I didn't get through to who usually dealt with it. They genuinely care about you as a person and are not just in it for the money. They have helpful and easy to use systems and even valued the house via video call. They really went over and above. I feel like I've actually made a real friend in Shonaigh in particular, who is just the kindest, most thoughtful and hardworking person. I would recommend Pittis to anyone and if I ever move again, there'll be no question of who I go to. I've had to deal with others in the process of viewing and purchasing a new house and quite simply they just highlighted how excellent the service was with Pittis. You all work together and get a happy outcome for everyone. There was never any pressure and my never-ending queries were always met with enthusiasm and answered promptly. Thank you all so much for your help. You deserve a medal for putting up with me! You have helped my family so very much, we've now got a family home we can stay in for decades. Thanks again, especially to Shonaigh. I owe you all cakes!... Read more

Well where do I start.....All the staff at Pittis have been absolutely amazing through our whole selling/purchasing process, Shonaigh is exceptional????.. She is Never to busy to speak with me.
Our sale/purchase hasnt been easy due to having lost my confidence with another agent. But Shonaigh installed my confidence again by being amazingly productive and going above and beyond to help us secure the house of our dreams! I honestly would not ever use anyone else if I was to ever move again I would recommend 100%.
Shonaigh you are amazing and we just can't thank you and your wonderful team enough!

Selling your house and buying what will be the last house you will ever buy is a very stressful process at the best of times, but in the teeth of a catastrophic global pandemic you need reassurance by the bucketload and that is what I must say we unexpectedly experienced any time we contacted the team at Pittis in Cowes. Whatever the setbacks, and there were some, the instant solutions provided by the dynamic duo Shonaigh Loughran and her colleague Maria kept us on course and we recently completed and moved exactly as they predicted and are happy to report that we could not be happier in our new home! Thank you so much Shonaigh and Maria and keep on doing what you do because we did not realise that moving house could actually be such a joyful experience and your dedication to our cause made it so!

We have learnt a lot this year about estate agents and one thing that we will take forward is that you definitely need your estate agent to help you buy as well as sell (especially in the crazy post COVID bubble). Shonaigh from Pittis, in the Cowes branch has really stood out for us in terms of helping us to find somewhere to buy. She has kept in touch with us regularly, been creative in her thinking about our needs and pushed us forward for early viewings.
Unfortunately we did not sell our house with Pittis and our sale fell through. When we are ready to put our house on the market again, we won’t hesitate to use Pittis because of the service we received from them and Shonaigh in particular.... Read more

Awful agent. Five months of enduring belittling and condescending calls and emails for using a 'niche' lender (one of us is self employed with own Ltd Company).
Claimed there was no asbestos in the property we were buying. We finally had a survey carried out post-pandemic only to find this was a lie.
Attached is a photo of the final email sign off from the Branch Manager, Alastair Gates. In case you cannot read the text in the picture for whatever reason, here it is for all to see:
"I wish you all the best with your property search from here on out however I think it is best that we no longer communicate directly and if you wish to purchase a property through Pittis again then I will direct you to one of my colleagues in a different office as I could not bare the thought of spending another 6 months of receiving berating emails and calls from you trying to tell everyone how to do their job."
A truly traumatic experience.
Having now spoken to a number of other people who are anti-Pittis, I wish I'd never had the misfortune of crossing paths with them - ESPECIALLY the branch manager.... Read more

Pittis were tasked with selling my late Mothers house on the IOW, whereas I live off Island - this began just a few weeks before everything changed with Covid and the lockdown. Pittis valued the house at a reasonable price, marketed with good photos and description and kept me updated via their online portal, phone and email. They promised an open house two weeks after going on the market, however this never happened as they secured 4 viewings within the firs two weeks and secured an offer with one of those 4 clients (at near asking price). Then lockdown occurred, and they not only kept me informed but also kept an eye on the property for me where I could not get to the Island. Once lockdown started to lift, the sale continued to proceed (with their recommended conveyance panel), they assisted in finding a company to clear the house, and continued to run a few errands for me to reduce the need for me to return to the Island (all above and beyond). The sale completed today, and overall Pittis did a very good job, a few minor hiccups along the way but considering what has been happening over the last 3 months, they really have performed well. Highly Recommended, and shout out to both Shonaigh and Alastair at the Cowes Office for making this such a smooth process for me at a time of both bereavement and lockdown.... Read more

Would thoroughly recommend Pittis!. They provided an excellent service from the moment we made the decision to put our house on the market. Ali walked us through the process step by step, the sign up was quick and efficient and our house was put on the market with no delay. The property has been marketed very well and we secured lots of viewings until it was sold. As sellers, we were kept informed of upcoming viewings and contacted with feedback, where available. Our dealings with all staff has been very positive and professional throughout. The house is now sold STC and fingers crossed the rest of the process goes smoothly. We have received excellent advice when dealing with potential buyers and we would have no hesitation in engaging with Pittis should we decide to sell any future properties. Fidelma & Neil...

Shonaigh goes the Extra Mile!
Shonaigh went above & beyond the call of duty when she showed us the property we'd asked to view and then convinced us (having spoken to me about our needs) to view a property I'd discounted due to the 2nd floor bedroom layout. We have since fallen in love with that property & had an offer accepted on it. We couldn't be happier with her help & understanding, which was so refreshing after having received such poor service from the island's competitors.... Read more

Shonaigh Loughran showed us several properties on the island. We have dealt with many agents recently and she stands head and shoulders above them all. Her professionalism and understanding of her role is apparent from the start. Her assured handling of us as potential buyers should reassure her clients as vendors that they are in very capable hands. Viewings with Shonaigh are a pleasure and every aspect of the property is covered whilst allowing prospective buyers time to assimilate the feeling of each property. We cannot recommend her enough. She goes out of her way to match properties with buyers and is a privilege to deal with.... Read more

I have such appreciation and
admiration for Alistair and his team at Pittis Cowes Isle Of Wight.
They have worked so hard to market
and sell our property in Cowes, Isle of Wight, it's not a high priced property but you wouldn't be mistaken in thinking it was, with the attention they have given to it! Even after obtaining a buyer (very quickly, and above asking price) they are still coordinating and following up to see that it gets to exchange of contract, if it doesn't! it will not be through lack of trying! absolutely amazing energy and professionalism this team has.
Many thanks to you Alistair and your

To be avoided. I enquired about a property via Rightmove and ticked the “no email” box. I was never contacted about the property I was interested in but they put me on the spam email list and wouldn’t remove me so I had to ask my employer to blacklist @pittis.co.uk which they did. Why would I be interested in other properties when the sales folk couldn’t be bothered to contact me about the one I liked???... Read more
