Our review is based on facts only and is related to the letting team Bournemouth office. We had almost three months nightmare dealing with Maria and one occasion with the Director Philip. After they found the tenants and all was great until the quotes started on the daily basis. Here what they were: Painting-£1800, reseal toilet-£40, cleaning-£180, oven-£80, carpet-£120. The flat never needed any of those to start with. And because we didn't comp-lay the complaints started from the tenants. Martin & Co requested the damp and condensation specialist, hot & heaters not working. We were reported to the council and threatened up to £7000 charges. This continues with the ridiculous quote for damp removal of 11 000. Martin & Co reported to us that the tenants like to move out and we agreed with them and we wanted to do it by the Law. For that we were charged £720 for termination of the contract. For the first month we received £95 rental for the second £269. We were charged for new heaters unnecessary. The tenants left a lot of rubbish and broken furniture in the flat and didn't removed it with the excuses. We had to refund their deposit in full because never agreed to pay to Martin & Co for inspection and the photos weren't enough as proof. With a very big regret we sharing our bitter experience with that particular team. Their rudeness and careless hit us a lot. We dealt in the pass with Martin & Co in other towns and they were great, but that team is beyond worse than any other letting agents. If you are a landlord please think first before deciding on hiring them. And to finish whit a positive vibes. There is a outstanding agent Camilla, she deserves full 5 stars for everything she has done for us. Thank you, Camilla.

Where urgent concerns are identified, we have a duty to act promptly and make appropriate recommendations in the interests of all parties. This may include obtaining specialist reports, recommending remedial works, or arranging temporary measures where necessary.

Matters relating to tenancy termination, management fees, maintenance works and deposit administration are handled in accordance with the terms of the management agreement and the relevant tenancy arrangements.
