Not great. They’ll generally enable landlords to treat you badly. They didn’t do a single thing to help when we were made to store an entire bed for the landlord for months. Ended the tenancy by trying to claim hundreds of pounds from the deposit for absolutely ridiculous claims (which they lost on appeal). It’s hard to tell what’s the agency’s decision and what’s the landlords, but they’ll work on the landlords behalf to mess you around for months and try to take your money. They have no regard for you as a tenant. Avoid. There’s also a huge number of fake reviews here. Edit: Not sure what their reply is trying to say. I wouldn’t need to appeal the dispute decision because the they weren’t awarded a single penny after the adjudicator told them their claims were totally inappropriate.

Hi Jason, Thanks for your feedback. You were one of the tenants of one of the properties managed by us. At the beginning of the tenancy your deposit was registered and transferred to SafeDeposit Scotland in line with The Housing (Scotland) Act 2006. At the end of the tenancy there was a disagreement between you and us about charges that we were requesting to SafeDeposit Scotland against the deposit. Since we could not reach an agreement, and in line with the legislation above-mentioned, the case was submitted to the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) of SafeDeposit Scotland. The adjudicators reached a decision based on the evidence submitted by all parties. SafeDeposit Scotland notified both parties of their decision, which we (Martin &Co Aberdeen) accepted. You could have requested a review of that decision to the adjudicators (if you felt that it was appropriate) within 10 working days, but you declined that option. SafeDeposit Scotland therefore allocate the funds in accordance to the decision of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) team. With regards of the veracity of all the online review that we regularly receive, we invite you to fact check them. Your are more than welcome to our office where we can take you through the circumstances of the any 5 star review that we have received. All of them, including yours, are from genuine customers, landlords, sellers, tenants and buyers that day in, day out, enjoy our World Class service. Clearly somehow you feel that this wasn't the case in your instance, and we respect your point of view. Yours sincerely, Eduardo Prato Director Martin & Co Aberdeen

Do Not let a property with this company, they harass you never leave you in peace and always side with the landlord and neighbours.

Dear Austin, Thank you for your comments. We have indeed taken the necessary steps in accordance to current Scottish legislation to protect the neighbours, the property and landlord interests, after the anti-social behaviour at the property that you are currently letting triggered the intervention of Police Scotland in two instances in less than 72 hours. We have referred the case to the First Tier Tribunal, which will decide the appropriate course of action. We will continue to engage with neighbours in the area, to whom we have a duty of care, while the First Tier Tribunal looks after the legal framework of your tenancy. If you have any concerns about our professional conduct in this matter, you can refer the case to the First Tier Tribunal, or The Property Ombudsman. Yours sincerely, Eduardo Prato, Director, Martin & Co Aberdeen.

A greedy bunch who is just there to steal your security deposit. No value or respect for your hard-earned money.

Where do I even begin - this letting agency rented out an apartment to my partner in June and it has been NOTHING but trouble. A storm created a hole in the roof and given it’s the top floor, created a multitude of problems such as wet walls, dampness, mold, and the inability of our heating system to work. Imagine two 23 year olds in these conditions with temperatures at -3 degrees in December. They have offered NOTHING TO COMPENSATE. Only waived the 28 days notice basically leaving us homeless and only benefits themselves. There was no leniency of a reduction on rent for our final weeks, and this situation has forced my partner to leave his employment and both of us to leave Aberdeen as this experience has left such a sour taste in both of our mouths. Not to mention the several health problems this unliveable flat has given us such as a constant cold, potential pneumonia, skin rashes, breakouts etc. Every night we wake up freezing and cannot afford to purchase any additional electrical heaters on top of the crazy electricity bill we have already racked up by attempting to use the heating system in place - which we were never informed upon that does not work. The way this letting agency carries on is absolutely inhumane and hopefully our formal complaint to the council will shine some sort of spotlight of the scam business they have. All these people care about is the cheque of rent each month - who cares if the tenants have no working heating, a massive draft from an unfixed roof, and melting wet walls surrounding them? Absolute scumbags should be ashamed of themselves - I’m in disbelief this establishment has such a high rating. Do NOT rent from these people, as if you are young like ourselves with limited budget they will treat you like dirt as they know there will be limited consequences. I hope karma gets you for the absolute hell you’ve made me and my partners lives the past 6 months plus no compensation for the fact. Disgusting people with no soul.

DO NOT RENT 3 BELGRAVE TERRCAE!!! Look at the state of this property, apparently repair work has been done! Asked for reduced rent so I could afford to heat the damp, wet cold property, but this fell on deaf ears. Refusal to reduce rent, blame put on landlord, whether this is true or not they are using owner to hide behind and owner is using them. No one wants to take any responsibility and do the right thing, so I am left living in this freezing flat, unable to afford to cost of heating it on the ancient system that is in place… It will be patched up and rented again, and I feel sorry for that person …
