Martin and Co are a joke. From the moment we moved in there were problems with the flat from fans not working to cracked ceilings. It took months to fix anything however small and in some cases they didn't fix it at all!
Money wise they are very tight fisted. You have to pay a fortune to start living in the flat and when you want to leave they make it very difficult for you and don't want to help you what-so-ever. I was ending my contract with them as I had to move home (im a student) to look after my mum and family and gave them 3 weeks notice. They refused to understand and charged me and extra 2 weeks off my deposit (which is not normally allowed) without telling me and they refuse to back on their decision. Also, I had to pay a 'check out fee' which was used to pay for a 3rd party to review the flat and produce a inventory. This was never done and we never saw nor signed anything. I raised this issue with them around 10 times over the course of they year and the mystery inventory was never produced. Once we moved out they used this inventory to check the flat! I never even got to see it!
Don't ever use martin and co - they just look out for themselves and steal money off hard working students!! A joke

Hang on, J - a person's occupation has absolutely no bearing on the service they should receive from a letting agency. Keep the snide digs to yourself.
