Worst agency I have ever experienced in my life as a tenant. The use a fake 3rd party company to do the checkin and checkout inspections so that they can keep your deposit and blame the other company. They try to charge you for maintenance work so that they don't have to pay for it. When you go to the branch to actually speak to people they pretend they can't do anything and you have to chase them via email. Only way to deal with them is by getting help from an ombudsman.

One of the worst agents I have used! Like to rip off tenants and landlords (we were tenants) Signed the outgoing inventory, to later find they added comments at the end, and we are now out of pocket! Told that it's a 3rd party who do the outgoing checks, and the sparky who did the PAT testing on appliances arrived?? Looked into it, and Silver City Servies have the same address as Martin and Co in Rosemount? Hardly a 3rd party!! Don't know how they can get away with this

Martin & Co take advantage of landlords!!! They don't honor their quotes and charge the landlord more than they quoted you to market your property. They charge you but don't want to do any work like viewings. Very rude staff like their branch manager James and staff Evie. Don't trust their quotes or services. They verbally agree on the prices but charge you more in reality!!!

Absolutely appalling service. Still have a broken oven and I've moved in for about 3 months and nothing is fixed despite multiple emails.

Absolutely awful customer service, honestly recommend to stay away. Communications skills are poor, nothing gets fixed when asked and you constantly have to chase them up. They dont go trough formality atall. I've had an awful experience, it's really not worth all the hassle they put you through.

Updated - I moved out from my apartment after 2 years of absolutely pathetic service. For maintenance issues during most part of my tenancy period, Martin and Co. said they couldn't get in touch with my landlord and thus couldn't go ahead with the repairs. We had to pay the full rent despite numerous inconveniences over this period. Exactly couple of weeks before I move out, contractors are employed and maintenance works are completed(yes - during the last 2 weeks when we were paying the rent and even without taking prior permission to carry out the works!!). To rub more salt to injury, almost half the deposit is taken off saying the landlord(who re-appeared after about 16 months) wants the repair works to be taken out of the deposit! Take my advice and stay away from Martin and Co if you're a tenant looking for a property! Extremely biased towards the landlord when it comes to maintenance issues.

As a tennant paying £1k+ per month I expected much better customer service and organisation from Martin & Co. No communication between staff members meant I was accused of causing damage to the property during the mid-tennancy inspection, even though the damage was clearly listed on the ingoing inventory. When arranging a check-out inspection, the agent agreed a time and date with me, only for another member of staff to arrange the inspection for a completely different date and time with no consultation with myself. Several times I called the agency to report issues or talk to staff and was met by extremely ride and unhelpful staff answering phones. Made an official complaint to one staff members attitude and after a brief and frankly tame letter of apology, had a similarly bad experience with the same staff member a few weeks later. Reported damp and mould and leaking roof areas, to be told that 'someone will be round to fix it' - several months later, nothing had been done. Will never be renting a property from Martin and Co again. DONT DO IT TO YOURSELF

I rented with Martin and Co aberdeen a couple of years ago and it was the most hellish experience ever. I will never rent from them again. I had no heating for 2 months during winter and it took me go ogling the landlord and contacting him myself before it got repaired. When I moved out it took 3 months for my deposit to return and on top of that they accused me of stealing a kettle. Fortunately I showed up at the office with all my photos of the place the day I moved out and the manager quickly backed off with his stupid accusations. I was a great tenement always paid my rent on time and the property was so clean when I left that the girls in the shop even commented on that. They are a horrendous company and the aberdeen manager at the time is a total pretentious condescending basta....

Service began badly and never improved. It seems that there is no communication between staff in the offices, this is the Aberdeen branch I'm talking about. Contacting the office was never a problem but you had to phone several time to speak to different people about the same thing before nothing was again done. when I viewed the fully furnished 2 bedroom property for me and my flatmate there was 2 beds and on the day we moved in there was only one bed, good thing my flatmate had somewhere else to stay. when we contacted martin and co about this we were asked did we need another bed. after this waited months to receive an inventory of the flat that was wrong when we finally got it, the shower was leaking into the flat down stairs and when we contacted martin and co we were told don't use the shower and they will get some one out next week, and that they would get in contact with us when this would happen, we assumed that the shower had been repaired as there was not further contact from them regarding it. this was just not a pleasant company to work with simple things that they said would be done never were and not a company i will ever rent with again.

Very unhelpful, very landlord orientated. Martinn & CO don't really care about tenants, and are very bad at communicating between themselves. I, personally, would definitely NOT recommend Martin & co - in fact would urge you to AVOID at all costs. Lack of inter-communication meant that we were blamed for damage that we did not make. After we left the flat and handed the keys in we were still forced to pay rent - despite having no access to the flat and being told there was nothing we could do. Customer service was appalling - paying such premium costs you would expect a higher standard of service. All in all, only negative comments to make about Martin & Co, very disappointing company.
