I'm a landlord and had Martin & Co Paisley rent out my flat. They found a couple with a 5 year old child and said they had been vetted etc. Turns out it was a family with 2 small children. Who completely ruined my flat: Large red stains on carpet which needed replaced, food crushed into carpets, chewing gum stomped into carpets, handles off walls, food splashed up walls, paint ripped off walls. This list was endless.
Fortunately we had a trades person that we know to go in and replace thermostat valves on the radiators (still unsure how they were all missing??), because the gas engineer that M&Co. had to quote decided we needed a new radiator etc etc and the quote was over a grand! This was not required at all!
Our gas engineer advised us on the very bad situation in our flat and I requested M&Co. carry out an immediate inspection. A week after the inspection I had to contact them to request an update. Shockingly, the agent I spoke to said that there was nothing wrong with the flat and that 'some people have higher living condition expectations than others'. Hmmm. yes tenants ruining my property is certainly my problem. As expected I challenged the agent's report to only be told that he had made a mistake and that the report he had given was of the flat above. The audacity of this company is next level.
Eventually they admitted that there was a problem in the flat and that they had spoken to the tenants that they needed to clean up the mess.
Thankfully these awful tenants moved out but I was left with a big mess and had to redecorate, replace carpets, take their broken belongings to the dump (yes the disgusting tenants left all their crap for me to dispose of, like I was their personal slave). They didn't even pay their full rent for the last month. Horrific creatures. And all along M&Co. kept taking their fees and making claiming the measly deposit and my rent extremely difficult.
AWFUL COMPANY. NO PROFESSIONALISM. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS LOT. COULDN'T ORGANISE A P*SS UP IN A BREWERY. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!

A very bad letting agency that works in favour of the landlord only. They try to take all your deposit by the end of the tenancy and they deal with you in the worst way ever. Avoid hiring them! I am mainly talking about the ...

My experience with this branch of Martin and co was disgraceful from start to finish. How they get away with the way they treat their customers and the lack of help they give is beyond me. Was a tenant with them for over a year and they couldn't have been more unhelpful if they tried. Any time we had a problem is was a minimum of two weeks before anyone would physically come out to the flat and that was after numerous phone calls from ourselfs to chace them up as they never stuck to their word a ...
