Having read all the negetive comments on this review page i thought i should jump in and offer my imput for what its worth. Myself and my colleague have taken a property through the martin&co branch in Islington and were delighted with the level of service recieved even when we caused issues with changing of the move in date. Steven our negotiator was a pleasure to deal with, always responded to emails, was available on the phone and even went as far as ensuring furniture and cleaning had been completed before our move in. Adam who is the director of the branch was available on stevens day off and was more than accomodating with questions regarding references and tenancy agreements. We spent about 2 weeks looking for a property and within that time we must of dealt with every agent in Islington and if there is 1 company we would use again and that would definately be these guys. Really listened to what we was looking for showed us a selection that match our criteria and requirements and allowed us the time to make a confident decision without pressure that we had been recieveing form the other agents we had viewed with.

14 Dec 2010I wouldnt say I was lucky, as explained to me they are all franchises and obviously some have bad levels of customer service, most of the London branches seem cool as I also delt with thier Kensington and Chelsea office. A lot of these comments are about up north and i'ts got to be a completely different market, we are spending

21 Dec 2010Happy tenant is so obviously someone from martin and co. Why on Earth would they explain to you that "they are all franchises"? And why have you been to several branches?

29 Dec 2010Rube stop being a pube!! Lol I looked in the Chelsea area and islington area so delt with 2 offices, I have been a pissed off tenant in the past dealing with certain agents so I read this review page before viewing and was a bit worried so naturaly asked the negotiators about martin and co and as 'explained' to me they are franchises!

4 Jan 2011Rube stop being a nube!! I visited 2 offices due to looking in 2 different areas of London, Islington and Chelsea, and low and behold Martin and Co have offices in both locations. They explained to me they are all franchises and what it meant as I was very nervous about renting with them due to websites like this, I was very worried about what I read and my hard money going down the drain to a crap agent, it turns out it was money well spent as a colleague of mine took a property with Foxtons after me and paid over 650 admin and they done sweet FA in terms of reference and the property has problems that Foxtons can't be bothered to deal with. We are both in managed proprties from 2 different agents and it seems like Martin and Co are good so far!!!! Touch wood!!!

My expierence with this company and has been extremely dreadful. They are unprofessional, incompetent, and unscrupulous. We have been in a legal battle with them and the landlady for over 6 months, dealing with the return of our deposit. Upon moving out, we realized that Martin & Co did not... Read Full Review

All transactions were through one of us only (Yi) so we assumed she would be the Lead Tenant. We were not given an inventory of the contents or condition of the flat until we left... Read Full Review

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.
