I did not rent through Martin&co origionally, I rented through Linley and Simpson. After showing up on my doorstep (landlord) 12/2020 when I was pregnant, during COVID/lockdown,with NO PPE, I stupidly agreed to change agencies at the time believing the lies told to me..... There was a leak in the bath that caused water damage to the whole of the: bathroom,kitchen and living room. The ceiling was collapsing in the kitchen. These repairs were subsequently CANCELLED for an UNNECESSARY INSPECTION that I had already completed 4 of - LEGALLY CANNOT DO. I subsequently and unfortunately went through 3 missed miscarriages, I hemorrhaged needing a procedure to save my life the first and had to have operations for the other 2 - the 3rd also resulted in me needing a blood transfusion of 2 bags - after the second baby, first operation, I had damage to an ovarian cyst that subsequently burst and resulted in appendicitis resulting in key hole surgery. Due to these VERY UNFORTUNATE events I was in no physical or mental state to be able to complete an inspection that was not necessary (stating they needed to see the damage despite pictures provided and professionals sent for quotes prior to this request). They harassed me to the point I had to send SELFIES OF MYSELF IN HOSPITAL to which THEY CONTINUED TO IGNORE THE SERIOUSNESS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING! They also, PURPOSELY RISKED ME LOSING MY JOB, I work from home for a credit card company,under the DATA PROTECTION ACT I could not allow someone unknown access to my home during the times I worked or allow to be in the room I was working in that had a large affect, allowing someone access to repair a room no where near me is a different matter, however they took this as a challenge. A manager confirmed there were FULL NOTES on the system that visits needed to be arranged due to the seriousness of my job, luckily I keep the key in the door so the SEVERAL occasions the agents IGNORED this were prevented but still a security risk to my job, especially if they had gained access to the property. The agent I confronted shrugged it off and literally did not care. I then received a call October 2021 from Denise who was totally VILE and unprofessional. They ILLEGALLY advised of eviction "as the landlord wanted the house for family" (of whose details I'm legally entitled to which was ignored,just like 99% of my requests and enquiries), when I stated this would be difficult and could not guarantee when I could be out by her response, in the harshest and most disrespectful tone I have EVER experienced from a so called professional was "well don't you work". Yes Denise I do however I'm on ssp for all this sickness causing serious financial difficulty as well as COVID difficulties as well, I was in the MINUS in my savings. I am now homeless because of these "people". I left on time of eviction notice despite the difficulty, leaving the house PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED using a Vax machine as well as my mother was trained on the AMERICAN BASE Lakenheath meaning she literally had to do a course as well as she was a carer for the elderly. I have evidence of how the home was left. They refused permission to repaint the walls after 3 years being there. They are now trying to charge me over £1000 for things THEY/LANDLORD CAUSED BY DODGY REPAIRS AND NEGLECT. I AM OWED OVER £6,000 from them for the works I did complete in that time agreed with landlord. They ignore ANYTHING you request that is justified in an attempt of protecting themselves and slumlords. This amount DOES NOT include the compensation I will be seeking for their poor behaviour and mistreatment towards me during a very difficult year. Money hungry, unprofessional, harassing, bullying, you name it. I have evidence to support EVERYTHING I have been through. I could have died about 6 times, I am 24 years old. There are so many reviews elsewhere and this is not even everything they did to me. AVOID FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY!!!!!!!!! My mental health has been affected so badly by these people I've wanted to end my life.

If you are a tenant, steer clear from this agents. They are from start to finish about milking money out of tenants. Throughout my time renting a property through them, they tried to find every possible way to extort money from me. It was extremely stressful and upsetting and they managed to ruin...

Martin and Co is the worst ever estate agent I have ever seen. During my Tenancy I felt harassed by the Martin and Co representative. They do not have any respect towards tenants. If you ask for repair, it will either take long time or they will slap you with eviction notice. I have tried speaking... Read Full Review

So my wife and I saw a property to rent with Martin and Co. My wife phoned to arrange a viewing provisionally on a Saturday - they would get back to us when they'd checked with the tenants.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Treat all customers with respect and courtesy, speaking in a professional and polite manner. Honour agreements and keep accurate records of requests. Read correspondence and act on it in a timely fashion. Check emails before sending them (not only to check they are going to the correct recipient, but some proofreading is also needed). Follow your own complaints procedure correctly. Be prepared to travel to properties you manage, or else don\'t take them on if you can\'t manage them as part of your workload. Act on requests for repairs promptly, without needing to be chased. Don\'t be pedantic about truly trivial matters whilst failing to deal with major problems.
