Good evening. You may be aware that all Martin & Co branches are independently owned and operated as franchises and as such it is likely that there will be differing standards of customer service and fee structures across the 170 businesses. My name is Carl and I am a Director and co-owner of the Sheffield North branch. We always invite comments and feedback from both tenants and landlords and always try to reply and where possible solve the problem if we have fallen short of our aims of custom ...

My daughter and her friend rented a flat in Torry. It was advertised as two bedroom but the box room was big enough for a small single bed only. Clothing drawers and personal belongings had to be kept in living room for the year. Both girls went home for a holiday only to come home to a soaked bedroom carpet, damp on walls and mould forming in every room. When it rained the bedroom window leaked and flooded the floor, soaked the curtains and walls. The flat was the top floor and the roof le ...

Completely agree! As a tennant renting with Martin and Co in Rochdale we face problem after problem after problem. The member of staff in question who has absolutely no customer service skills is called ******, and is well known throughout the Rochdale estate agents sector for her unbelievable way of speaking to and dealing with people. I would never let with Martin & Co again and I would advise anyone not to either! Admin note: agent's name removed ...

No fees information available
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.

Complaints Procedure

We are registered with the Property Ombudsman redress system. But more important, you can call the Director Eduardo Prato directly on his mobile, day or night, if at any point you're not completely satisfied with our service.
