I would just like to add to the previous reviews on this board at add my recent experience with them. Add everything gone smoothly I'm sure the only thing I would not like is the amount of administration fee to pay.... However this is not the case they have shown poor communication, poor 'people skills' there language and tone can be abusive, also you have to remember letting agents are unregulated by an ombudsman service. For the service they provide from a tenants point of view the fees are too much when compared to others, my advice only use them if you have to, they don't deal with problems very well from my experience. Just like to add no problem with my landlord or house just the admin 'middleman' side. I always paid upfront in time and never did anything wrong. They tried to make their problems mine this place definitely has negative kharma.


What agent could do to change your mind?

Just be as proactive as I was when dealing with money, and always kept a \'professional\' tone when dealing with them as I did. They need to give more to earn back there Kharma. Dom.

One word describes this outfit of alleged rental agents - dire. From the first communication to the last it was incredibly painful. The first complaint is the fee the agent charges - £1000 for my wife and I. Not bad one might think - but it is very poor as the first time we actually ... Read Full Review

They found us wonderful tenants within one week of being instructed and everything went smoothly with them moving in, and has ... Read Full Review

*They took 85% of my deposit and charged me for the removal of rubbish that was left there before me. They told my landlord to evict me. They constantly told me 'phone the landlord' and the landlord told me 'call Martin Russel the rip off merchants'. They knew I was a student and charged me the ... Read Full Review

I can only advise that if you are looking to buy a property in the Wokingham/Winnersh/Earley/Reading area you use any one of the vast number of estate agents competing with Martyn Russell in the area. We rented a house in Winnersh and are now in dispute over retrieving our deposit back from the ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

Be honest and have a little bit of integrity in the first place knowing what the previous tenants of the house had been through.


Comments on Agent Fees

Very poor service, fees are extortionate, customer service is non-existent.

Cheap and cheerful and middle of the road!. When I rented with them, if there was a maintenance problem, they dealt with it quickly which was great.

I lived in a ridiculously large and rather old house for 3 years with this agency, until August 2008. As you can imagine there was no desire to update the dodgy electrics or replace the increasingly money-swallowing oil tank, but the main issue was when I came to leave the property. Unfortunately ...

Disorganised cowboys, that completely lose interest once they have your money. It took two weeks to finalise moving in, of which we were paying during that time without actually being within the property.
