We have been leasing the property through Martin & Co since we moved out to Australia over 7yrs ago when Paul and Viv Jenner first started the Martin & Co business in the Basingstoke area. During this period Paul, Viv and the team have been so professional, providing us with total peace of mind. Being On the other side of the world, it was very important we had good agents managing our property that we could trust implicitly and were very quick to respond to any situation that arose with the property or with the tenants so we were very privileged indeed to have come across and have been able to build a very strong effective working relationship with Martin & Co. during this time.
Martin & Co. took over the complete management of our Basingstoke property in 2008, with their property specialist Andrew Sheldon taking on the daily oversight. Andrew is one of the most genuine guys you will meet and also one of the most knowledgeable when it comes to property management. His attention to detail and passion for his job is second to none. The drive and work ethics has helped Andrew develop a good relation with us as landlords through his sheer hard work and professionalism but I believe Andrew had a great rapor with the tenants which we feel was part of the reason they stayed for many years within our property.
When the time came to sell the property as we needed to free the capital up in the UK to build in Australia, it was a very easy decision for my wife and I to make when choosing Martin & Co as our Sales Agent. Andrew Sheldon knew the property inside out as Andrew grew up in the area, had managed the rental of the property for several years and was again so passionate about his job so giving the task of selling the property to Martin & Co and Andrew in particular was the best decision we ever made.
The sales brochure was top draw, Andrew described the property in such a way that reminded us why we bought the property in the first place. His attention to detail and descriptive terminology just showed how much he knew about the property. Martin & Co ensure all their staff are very well versed about the properties on their books, whether renting or buying they make it their business to know your property inside and out.
Andrew negotiated with the tenant still renting the property access for viewings which due to the relationship he had built up with the tenant over the years was no issue at all.
Each day Andrew would write us a blog on the interested parties and provide us feedback on viewings. We soon received a strong offer on the property and from this point right the way through to exchange of contracts and completion, it was completely smooth saling with Andrew liaising directly with our solicitor to help answer questions on the property brought up by our buyers.
We could not have asked for more from Martin & Co and Andrew. Within 10 weeks from putting the property on the market we had sold for a higher than expected price and with no issues at all. We were blown away by how easy they made the process for us during both renting out our property with the top class management they provided for many years and now during their role as Sales Agent.
We would highly recommend Martin & Co to everyone in their catchment area as the best sales and rental agent by far. We have sold and rented several properties in the past and never has it been so easy as sellers or landlords as it has been for us since we made the right decision to choose Martin & Co as our property agents.
Awesome experience and now friends for life. What more can anyone ask for?
Comment on agent fees
Fees were lower than expected and extremely competitive.
