I have used other branches of Martin & Co. both as a tenant and as landlord and have received excellent service. I have tried to use the Harborne branch twice and received poor service on both occasions. The first time my viewing appointment was cancelled at less than two hours notice after I had rearranged shifts at work. The offer of a reschedule came only after I had complained. The second time the phone was answered by a person who insisted on calling me âmateâ but was in fact very unhelpful. I would rather not use them at all but they seem to have something of a monopoly over rented property in Edgabaston.
Because of the poor service I never got as far as paying any fees.
No procedure set.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Please avoid this real estate agency. Once you have rented a property from them and signed the contract, they will not respond to any of your requests, especially when you are suffering from neighbour harassment and noise issues. They will simply ask you to handle it on your own, without taking any ... Read Full Review

Absolutely disgusting Absolutely disgusting. Everyone for the group booking turned up and we were told 30 mins later it was cancelled. When we rang up they were completely unprofessional and rude on the phone. Don't think they realise people have to pay money and take time off work to get to ... Read Full Review

As a landlord I would never use this company again in a million years. Extremely poor service. Intimidating, and threatening me with court action If I don’t accept their demands. Even after leaving them they kept contacting me and making demands. The experience was very traumatic to say... Read Full Review

I was a tenant. This is a really poor estate agents!! Be aware they will try to deduct ridiculous charge from your deposit and WILL NOT let you know before hand and try to blame you for things that you'd not done. When I asked for receipts they said they dont have to provide any!! Seriously?... Read Full Review

After having let this property out last September the Agency have been nothing short of inexperienced and lacking real knowledge in the world of lettings. They have been unable to grasp the legalities of taking a tenant to court when rent has not forthcoming, they have not kept on top of the dire... Read Full Review
Fees taken from damage deposit totally unjustified considering they were unable to manage the property for over 6 months due to a court repossession and tenant changing locks.

Expensive agent fees that are not worthwhile as they do not take the time to sort out issues or respond promptly.

A few years ago I contacted Monaj Sohal at Martin & Co when our, then, agent had been unable to let our flat for 7 months. Monaj took excellent new photos, re marketed flat and it let within first week. Recently we decided to sell the flat and Martin & Co found a buyer at the asking price... Read Full Review
We have found their fees for letting and their commission for selling very competitive.
