I had to write one last review about this Company and now as an ex-tenant. Please do not believe anything they say. We were promised a very long let on a property. After a year we had notice - the owner wanted it back. (Not all Martin's fault I suppose). After another 3 months the property is up for rent again - the owner doesn't need it. How stupid is that and what an upheaval it was for us and rather costly as well. Martin's should have checked this was really a long term let in the first place. This is just a warning for any prospective customers.

Make sure they have all their facts right.

This review was from a few years ago, and with a change of business ownership, the service level has dramatically improved.

Actually listen to your customers. Respond to phone calls. Call back when you say you're going to. Tell us when things are actually going to happen. Don't lie to my face about things i know to be true. Stop charging people lots of money for what is essentially photocopying. Do something earn all the fees we paid you.
