Martin and Co. is the worst letting agency I have had the mis-fortune to use in 20 years of letting.

They failed to get our place ready for our move in date. There was trash in the garden and furniture throughout what was supposed to be an unfurnished house.

They failed to address loose tiles in the roof that were causing leak and mould in the bathroom.

They never communicate details in emails and instead urge you to "drop by the office" so they can make promises to your face without ever having to deliver on them and then deny the promises were ever made.

As a result of the lies and inaction, we decided to move out. After we gave our notice, they decided that would be a good time to get major renovation work done inside the house causing the release of lots of dust and soot, covering the walls, carpets, and our own furniture. And to top it off, they now hold *us* responsible for all the mess this caused and are claiming a huge fraction of our deposit!

This firm has been caught falsifying bank statements, making up property repairs invoices and overcharging unsusceptible landlords. Apparently the overcharging is rife in the franchise. There are plenty other agents in the area that do lettings. Avoid Martin & Co https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/...
