The worst agency ever. We had problems from the beginning, the landlord delivered us the flat without any basic cleaning, and today after a week we are BITTEN BY FLEAS that have infested the flat!!! The agency, like the landlord said to help us, but my girlfriend and I just feel cheated. Instead of push an emergency clean or call a professional pest control agency, the landlord waste time trying to buy a carpet vacuum cleaner, and the agency are not able to fix the problem, or simply they don't care.

Start off very nice and friendly, lots of promises to sort stuff out when viewing property. When we moved in, none of the requests had been done despite their claims to have complied. Very difficult to contact and get a reasonable response. We requested work be carried out to repair a door latch.... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

Extremely high fees just to renew tenancy. No changes in contract, just a new date.

Since Sam has started her role as the new Property Manager with Martin&Co I've noticed a massive difference. Being a tenant with Martin&Co for the past 6 years, this is the first time I've met a team member who genuinely cares about sorting out issues I've had with the property. Issues that ...

Having a property for let and unhappy with current agent we asked for a visit to discuss our options. The gentleman who attended, I believe he told us he was the director, was very aggressive in his manner and made us feel pressured to make a decision at that time. We decided to put our property...

The worst letting agent I've ever had to deal with. Totally unorganised and very selfish attitude to their business. They are very quick to get things sorted when they are at risk of being out of pocket but are quite happy to sit around and take their time when it's the other way around. If you... Read Full Review

Having used a different branch of Martins in Brighton, I invited them to give me a rental valuation.

I was a tenant with Martin & Co between 2009+2010. Firstly they were happy to let a property where the bathroom had a ceiling that was thick black with mould. The place was full of moth balls which stunk the place out royally. I never actually got the smell out of the flat in the whole 12... Read Full Review

Not be vile creatures who try and squeeze every penny out of the Landlord/Tenant and not caring about their customers.

What agent could do to change your mind?

the agent should have met with me at many request to hand over apartment at the end of the lease, the review written was unfair and inconsequential, no passage of information from landlord to tenant. in the end I had to enlist the help of a credit collection agency.
