Martin and Co provided a fantastic speedy service, from my viewing to retrieving keys to my new home was a matter of 10 days with absolutely no distribution. Service received was faultless! I would definitely recommend this agent....

As a tenant, I found Martin and Co to be good letting agents. Their Maintenance Department responded to queries well and got, for instance, numerous problems with my boiler fixed quickly. Regarding other matters, I dealt mainly with Kathryn Rogers, whom I found professional and ...

Comment on agent fees
Agents fees are expensive across the board at the moment and I hope there is further government legislation to restrict them, but Martin and Co charge similar rates to many other Agents in the area so are no more or less expensive than is (unfortunately) the norm. I got my full deposit back without a problem, minus the deduction for the check-out inventory.

Do not do any property letting agreements with this company. They only find tenants and when you have trouble they say they don't manage the property. Be careful since they are very deceiving. They make everything sound nice and professional and then you will have ...

Never agin will I use Martin & Co. in any capacity. Their main weakness is the reliability of their lines of communication. Only once in two years did someone actually get back to me when they said they would, that was to inform me of the ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Do what they say they are going to do, for example if they say they will call back I expect a call back! I don't expect to have to chase them up over a week later. They repeatedly made promises that were broken with regards to communication. Have a back up communication system with regards to inspections, a letter sent a week before could be missed/lost. The answering service does not work, either leave people in a queue or actually call people back. Be upfront about changes to fees or have it written into the contract that fees cannot change by a certain percentage/amount (just like it is for rent). Be more willing to apologise, we all make mistakes but don't make the customer feel like they are doing something wrogn by compaining, even if you don't feek that their complaint is legitimate the customer is slways right!

I also had real problems with this agency. They wanted to give me back only £30 of my £650 deposit due to mould on the inside of our flat! HOW EXACTLY IS THAT OUR FAULT?? They were lucky we didn't complain about health issues to be quite honest! They were just completely inept and only interested in taking our (massively inflated) rent each month! Moved to a private landlord for £170 pm cheaper and MUCH happier! AVOID MARTIN & CO!!! ...
