I would like to thank Louise, Mark and the team at Martin & Co in Harrogate for providing an excellent service as managing agents for my property in Ripon during the past four years. All staff have always been friendly, helpful, thorough and efficient in ensuring my tenant and property have been well looked after.
Many thanks to you all for a five star service.

Where to start? I rented with Martin and Co Harrogate for a couple of years. This ended with my partner attending a mental health course due to sleep deprivation and stress. That may sound extreme, but we were plagued with noisy, drug using neighbours that ...

The response from the agent here is disgraceful and if I were the subject of the reply would consider legal action for data protection violations.
Mark, you are (supposedly) a professional yet this is the least professional response I have ever seen and I work as a compliance officer for a national company overseeing the complaints we handle.
If I found out anybody had responded in a way like this either through work channels or in a public forum disciplinary procedures would be carried ou ...

We feel that Martin and Co understood the fact that the Tenants were important - not just the Landlords - who were their actual clients.
We felt that Louise had a sense of fairness - and respect for the tenants plus the ability to deal ...

I am disappointed that this tenant has chosen to review us on here. Our involvement with this was limited to finding a tenant and we had no involvement with managing the property after the tenancy started.
She moved into the property in June 2011 and signed a 21 page tenancy agreement. She read this in advance of coming in to sign it and we have an email from her to say that she was happy with it.
Our tenancy agreement contains no unfair terms and every potential tenant is given the oppor ...

Although it started well with the company, when I went to sign the tenancy agreement I was quite amazed by how many hidden extras they have - paying for the inventory, paying when your tenancy agreement runs out. These things should be pointed out before ...

Has your policy on inventory fees changed? Whilst perhaps not hidden it wasn't made very clear at the start of the tenancy that we'd be charged £60 for a "check-out" fee, which I presume is an inventory fee! Also, £60 every 6 months as "renewal" fee which as far as I could see just involved you sending us some paper work, so hardly value for money when we were good long-term tenants! No problems with your business as far as managing the property was concerned, but I've never come across these ...

At Martin & Co in Harrogate we give all of our tenants at least 2 weeks notice in writing before visiting. We are flexible if a tenant wants to move the appointment and we do not pay sudden visits without proper notice.
If this tenant would like to get in touch with me and raise a complaint with us I will be happy to address it.
