The most useless staff I have ever encounter in my life. They call me 5 min. before a viewing to tell me they couldn't get hold of the owner. They suppose to call me back and I could still be waiting outside the property. Gave them another opportunity, call to check two viewings to make sure they will be there. One was actually already sold, they never contacted me to cancel the viewing. On the other one, the agent was late, saw him walking slowly parading on the street. He didn't introduce himself, he didn't have any information about the property, didn't even try to show us around it. I could not even imagine how they will deal with letting properties when they can't be bother to sell them!! TERRIBLE
Wouldn't go with them even if it was free.

Absolutely terrible service. Asked to view a property from their website and was told to leave my information for the viewings team (that were never available) Followed up with 5 more phone calls over 2 days, as did my partner so they had both our information. We didn't receive a phone call... Read Full Review

Leanne Levy has been excellent in her support and guidance whilst deliberating whether to rent or sell my property. A difficult decision has definitely been made easier knowing that Leanne was only one call or email away and would always be able to answer any of my questions in detail. She has been ...

We are dealing with Martin&co for about 13 years. The first tenants stayed for about 12 years, there had been no serious problem which wasn’t sort out straight away and always informed us with no delay. Because I am living abroad I have to rely and trust the company and its... Read Full Review

I am a landlord who lets three properties through Martin & Co. and have done so for over 5 years. Once you get to know the key people there the service is good but it can be daunting because one has to deal with different people for lettings and property maintenance. There is no single point...

Reasonable - but for the money I'd like Martin & Co to work more independently - so that I was less actively involved.

I have been letting my apartment with Martin & Co for just a few months and so far have no complaints. They found tenants for me quickly, paid on time and have been responsive to requests. As I am an overseas owner, I have never met the staff or seen the office but all contact I have had so far ... Read Full Review

Awful. Put the tenants from hell in the property, including a rottweiler (it's a first floor flat, sorry neighbours!). I have periodic reports with things like 'small mark on floor', which bear no resemblance to the state I received it back in. Rude and aggressive and if you want to leave them, you ...

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.
