The worst estate agents I've ever seen. I absolutely do not understand the reason why they do not accept the guarantor as a company, why they want only a person. Is there a difference when tenants are guaranteed by a person or a company? And what can you do as an international student? Becoming homeless? When I looking for a housing, I avoid this estate agents as much as possible. And I recommend the same to everyone.NegativeValue

referring to the Colchester branch My experience with martin and co was good up to a point, but the realization of there predatory business tactics highlights it as a company to avoid. when my contract with them ended they tried to bully me into a 12 month upfront contract, saying i was legally tied to this contract, sadly for them i know contract law and explained how they didn't know what they was talking about. That then moved on to them being petty for the rest of the time ive had to deal with them, they tried to charge me for the following: a used toilet brush that was there when i moved in?? a broken bath panel that was broken already when i moved in. (it was advertised with pictures of the bath panel broken at this point and they hadn't been to take pictures of my property due to covid) a lose toilet seat that was described as having a lose screw + £20 pound charge to them. ohh and the 120 cleaning fee, even though i had the carpets professionally cleaned and they had a painter in as i was moving out??? ohh and to top it of they sent my deposit as cheque. real shame as I'm planing to invest in a large sum of buy to lets in the future and was looking forward with working with them, but i do not want my finances and business to be connected to theses predatory business tactics.

* Very nice with you when you're signing with them * Very slow responding to any issue during the tenancy * And extremely unprofessional when checking you out and giving you your deposit back Think about these before signing with Martin & CO

STUDENTS BEWARE!!! I received a letter meant for my letting agent from this company suggesting they want to help them increase their level of income by increasing my rent. Please avoid renting from them at all costs they are clearly trying to take advantage of you.

Poor communication. Didn't sense any urgency with their service once I wasn't a paying tenant. Had to wait over 30 days for my deposit as they had the wrong contact details for the landlord. Wouldn't recommend.
