Martin and Co are an absolute disgrace, their actions verge on illegal and you should avoid letting your property or renting one from them at all costs. This absolute embarrassment of a company handled the letting of a flat I lived in last year and were rude, incompetent and aggressive. Towards the end of my tenancy, Chris Billingham harassed me so much and was so aggressive towards me over the phone and via email that the housing department of the council issued them a warning. When I reported that my front door had melted during a heat wave and I was stuck in my first floor apartment, I was told that this "wasn't an emergency" and it wasn't fixed for over a week. During this time it would take two people around 20 minutes to get the door open, and closed again every morning and evening. They then gave my door key (without my consent) to a neighbour, who then never returned it to them. AVOID THIS TERRIBLE SHAM OF A COMPANY AT ALL COSTS.
