WARNING! Avoid at all costs. There's a reason Martin and Co uk as a company have 72% 1 star reviews. They are clearly rotten from the core. Rude unprofessional staff, one sided and despite leaving the property immaculate they try to steal your deposit making the tenant go through the process of getting the DPS to step in. If you don't want to be treated like a second citizen and enjoy a competent property management company with some integrity then go elsewhere and avoid the pain

What agent could do to change your mind?
Simply put they could have been honest about the deductions - itemizing what they are taking off any why. Instead of just saying well you can lodge a complaint with the TDS they could have looked in to what the problem was. I have left with a feeling of distrust

I was a tenant in the property for three years and everything was fine until the END OF THE TENANCY. This was dealt with by Claudia GAL. The tenants responsibility were not itemized and the pointer of which she wanted to take were completely wrong.
She then said if I Wanted to disagree I would have to lodge a complaint with the TDS, but if I did this the Landlord had authorized to take alot more money for the wear and tear as well.
Seriously I have other things in my life more pressing - if they had only itemized ! I have no idea if they even spoke to the landlord!
Poor Service!

Our experience with Martin & Co Lincoln has been terrible since the word go. -When completing the credit checks they didn't explain their process/charges properly and then ended up charges us double and it was a fight to get refunded. -When completing the contract, the deposit amounts and addresses were completely incorrect and had to be redone, wasting time. -When we viewed the property it was in a mess and they told us they would have cleaners in before we moved in. When we got the keys and went back to the property for the first time, nothing had been done to it and I had to speak to 3 different people to get it sorted. -They didn't send us the inventory until a month into our rental and it was incorrect. -When they wanted to do a property check, they gave us less that 48 hours notice for the visit and then tried to charge us because we missed the appointment (we were on holiday for a week and missed the notice and the visit) and we had to fight to get that back too. -It has taken them 6 months to arrange to have our shower fixed. 3 plumbers, a visit and a telling off from the landlord later its finally been done.
The problem with the branch is that no one seems to have a clue what is going on or who is in charge and you have to speak to pretty much everyone in the office to get it sorted. Even the plumbers and gas check guy who I've met say that their management team is awful and its hard to get done.
When the landlord came around he seemed aware of the problem and said that they had lost the spare sets of keys for the three properties he owned in the area.
