I would highly recommend Martin&CO to anyone looking a realtor. I can’t thank enough Afzaal Hussain, his outstanding, dedication and diligence in solving my situation. Afzaal Hussain took care of all the paperwork and made us feel comfortable and wellinformed throughout the entire process. They... Read Full Review

Avoid renting with them. Immersion in the water tank broke down and Martin & Co send a technician that after couple of visits did not fix it. I warned Martin & Co that if the boiler were to break down (is an old one), I would have no hot water, but they disregard my email. 4 weeks... Read Full Review

Awful experience from start to finish. Communication from the office was poor, being told we would receive email updates and never did. We had to keep chasing to find out what was happening. Our viewing got moved on the day of to a later date, 9 days later. Struggled to get a straight answer... Read Full Review

I bought a flat in Leicester in 2004 and discovered that two neighbouring flats were being let by Martin & Co and was impressed by a number of things which my neighbours reported. So when I came to let my own flat in 2008 I knew that I was wanting to work with Martin & Co. Lettings has... Read Full Review

The main issues were; Advising to put the property on the market at £10,000 less than (we achieved OUR asking price in 6 days). With a flat rate, I assume a quick sale is in the estate agents best interest. Failing to communicate with both selling parties (who were separated) via email. Despite... Read Full Review
For the lack of service and ill-advised valuation, the service is overpriced.

Matthew from the Coalville branch Leicester It may be your day off today, but I don't know that and you rang me, not me ringing you, if you could not be bothered to accept my 195000 cash offer in a decent manner then don't, but I will tell the vendor which I met today, and we all agreed...

I was recently looking for a flat to buy. I looked at two and was meant to look at at third flat. The fact that this estate agent made me decide to not bother buying should be self explanatory. The first girl I dealt with named Emily was nice and friendly to be fair and did try to help me to start... Read Full Review

After being told my full circumstances they are happy to take your money for referencing and then claim the landlord has turned down a payment of six months rent in advance and a guarantor as I am not working due to ill health.

Worst real estate agents I have ever dealt with. They are rude, unprofessional and ignore their own legally binding paper work. They should be shut down as they do not do their jobs properly. They messed me around with my rent, refused to give my deposit back 4 months after they had said they would ... Read Full Review

I am very unhappy with the service I've received from Martin and Co and from their agent Prakash in particular. When viewing the property we were told that the rent was 675 but it turned out to actually be 775. This was still quite low so we decided to accept. We were then told that the house was...

The agent could have simply laid out every cost and delay to us in written form at the very start of the process and that way we woudl have been prepared for all this.

Avoid this agent at all cost! They were agents for our rental property and their service is appalling. They missed 2 gas certificates, which have to legally be done every year. They were unable to work out simple calculations when our tenant fell behind on his rent and in the end I sent them the... 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.
