I have just had a terrible experience with Mather Marshall over the phone. Interested in a property advised on right move, I emailed them asking to arrange a viewing. Someone called Jack called me and when i told him that I was at work in a meeting and if he could email me to arrange a time he said "no - you call me back when you're done" and put the phone down suddenly. When I called him back to ask why he reacted that way he said in a rude and unprofessional manner that "he was ...

This is a warning to all prospective tenants who are wishing to rent a property with Mather Marshall. It is probably one of the worst experiences I have had when dealing with a letting agent. They are the most rude and unprofessional staff I have ever dealt with. They left us conned out of money for the entire duration of our stay. From the moment we first moved in there were an array of problems which were such a hassle to get resolved because these people are so incompetent. Not only are they...

I have never dealt with more unhelpful and unprofessional people then these so called agents. My daughter is a student at Herts University. She & 4 others recently rented a student property through MM. I went with my daughter yesterday and the other 4 tenants (with parents) to sign up and take possession of the property. We arrived at midday as requested although one of the students was late due to traffic. We entered the offices and the students were asked to sit in front of Kerry. The pare...

We found that right from the beginning they did not have a very good telephone manner. They were very blunt and rude and hated us asking questions. They always slammed the phone down on us abruptly and for viewings they turned up late and never apologised. When we complained about this she ((Sam) sulked and tutted and it was up to us to break the ice with her. When we decided not to have the property because of the short lease it didnt make us feel we wanted to go back to them in the future....

WARNING DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS ESTATE AGENTS AS THEY WILL GIVE YOU STRESS AND SCAM YOU OUT ON YOUR ADMIN FEES. Me and my friends were desperate to move in to a property they made us pay £162 for admin fees which they said are for a credit check and guarantor documents. A credit check is £2 and guarantor documents cost at max £60 so where did the other £100 go? They should be banned from dealing with students and sued for misselling. They don't tell you much until you pay y...

This very rude estate agents will try to keep as much of your deposit as possible. Once we left the property in Stevenage they charged us £30 to remove a pack of cards and some headphones. Worst of all they charged us £300 for a small scratch on one of the sofas (not a deep scratch about the length of a finger.)...

I am writing to thank mather marshall once again for another great job. Having used them in the past i recently sold my home and purchased my new home through Duncan. I was pleased to see that nothing had changed, the service from beginning to end was up to previous high standards and their local knowledge is second to none. I would have no problem recommending mather marshall and have even done so to my mother who is over the moon and has a buyer already at a great price, thanks again guys!...

I rented a bedsit from this agent in 2009. From start to finish they were unhelpful and the property was not in a pristine condition when I moved in but it was all I could afford. The bathroom was original (the property was built in the early 60\'s.) Although it had radiators, these were not connected to to the boiler and the only heating there was was from a very old gas fire, which made condensation a real problem in the winter. The bathroom and kitchen were painted with basic emulsion and...

I have dealt with Debbie Norris for 17 years firstly as a tenant and for the past 7 years as a landlady. I can honestly say that Mrs Norris is incredibly fair and thorough for both sides. I have never had to chase tenants for rent. Very rare in this day and age. Mrs Norris takes out all the hassle of renting she has the upmost integrity, honesty and is a total asset. I am incredibly satisfied in every aspect of the services she supplies and she has always been very polite and helpful. I woul...

Good afternoon :) Hatfield is an area where a lot of students (from the University of Hertfordshire) rent properties to live in during university term times, therefore many are embarking on the property ladder for the first time and are, therefore, inexperienced. This being said, Mather Marshall definitely takes full advantage of poor students who are desperate in finding property before uni starts. For example, MM were not upfront from the very beginning with the full amount of fees we would...

What agent could do to change your mind?
1. Be honest and upfront with students about the fees they have to pay 2. Do not be patronising and unfriendly. It does not hurt to have manners and decorum, eg, something simple like POLITELY asking \"Sorry, I did not get your name?\" Or \"Sorry, who is this I am speaking to?\" Instead of \"...and who are you?\" You can be assertive if you have to be, but being assertive does not mean you have to be rude and unpleasant. 3. Be helpful and patient to students who are renting for the first time. Believe it or not, students talk about their experiences with letting agents and I will campaign with the University to let students become aware of their rights and to know what is and what is not acceptable from letting agents.

HI I would like to state that ALL our fees are on the student accommodation list, on the reservation form as well and also sent to the guarantors of the students too. Invoices are also sent to the tenants and their guarantors. We also run through the fees whilst the students are reserving the property. Also our fees are also on our website hatfieldstudentlettings.com. So I do feel your comments are unjust. ...

This particular negotiator is a true example of the bad reputation acquired across the board and does nothing to turn around public opinion within the business, despite the economic state of this country and the fundamental need to improve and generate wealth for our economy. I was sent a flyer by email from him with a fixed sale price for a house in Hatfield. I took an annual leave day from work and did a 55 mile round trip to view the property. He showed me around and I offered the full ask...

Good afternoon We take public opinion very seriously and feel that websites such as this, allowing the public to express their views are very important and we strive to act upon the information we receive. We cannot be certain but we believe you are a lady who viewed a property in Indells that was advertised as offers in excess of ?

Please please people, I would advise you stay away from Mather Marshall letting agents in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. They are the most despicable, most Rude, most unfriendly, most useless letting agents that ever existed on human planet. At first they portrayed friendly and niciestness just to they could collect from you, but once that is out of the way, their ugliness begin. I had a misfortune of letting through them, I literally had to chase them before they can help with anything with the hou...

Bought a student let through MM. Renovated, then asked them to manage letting. BIG MISTAKE! Not listed on website, despite promptings. No new photos taken. After weeks without feedback discovered 2 promised viewings were fictional. Asked for key to give to another agent. Suddenly our keys wouldn\'t work. MM\'s log had no record of a lock change when we asked. At first thought we had squatters. Turned out MM HAD changed the lock the day before we collected our key. Claimed later they\'d broken a ...

I have commented before regarding this particular incident, but I shall reiterate, firstly the key was broken in the lock, we arranged change of lock, charged to ourselves, in no way were you charged for this, as we had not let for you before and would not have had any money holding in any case. We spoke to you for a considerable amount of time, as the property was not ready, you then let it via another agent at a lot less rental than we were advertising it for you. ...

I am a landlord with Mather Marshall Lettings, I have been for the past 7 years, I have found them to be extremely helpful, going more than the full mile to assist in any problems with my property. They have collected my post for me, which is not part of their contract, but did so to help me out. They have an emergency mobile on 24/7 and I have known them be disturbed at 2 am by tenants locking themselves out, which to be honest is not their responsibility. I have read some of the comments on...

We had the misfortune of dealing with this agency. The flat was ok but the staff in the office are absolutely rude and most unhelpful (to be fair, Adam, the young guy, is an exception to this). D. and C. unfortunately lack in any sort of common sense with regards to good communication and customer service. They never get back to you, they need CONSTANT chasing for any little issue, and they are more than happy to accuse us that we are late for payment the day BEFORE we are due and will not ta...

They could have done their job. Show respect, be polite, be professional, learn a bit of customer service, do things within a reasonable time frame without needing to be chased for OVER A MONTH for the smallest issue.

Be warned, this company does not have a fair approach to business and will not financially reimburse you for their mistakes. You have to continually chase them and when it is important they don't update you and if there is any financial implications, if they can't get the landlord to cover their mistake then as a tenant you are out of pocket. ...

Quite simply the most incompentent estate agent I have ever had the displeasure to deal with. We are currently leasing a property from them and have found the service to be totally unprofessional. We have dealt with estate agents previously and have had the occasional gripe, but this particular company just can't get anything right. They've got the contract wrong on three occasions, one of which was the length of the term. The inventory was wrong, they never return your calls. The staff are genu...
