Absolutely disgusting service! Very unprofessional and rude! Having to constantly pay their made up charges and they never reported the things that need repairing!! No contact from the landlord ever! I wouldn't ever recommend this company as they tried to con us out of the property after taking the deposit and tried letting another couple have it even those we was about to move in that day! The man who showed is around the property was hungover and smelt of alcohol and he didn't know anything about the area, council tax, rent, he knew nothing!! Absolutely unless!! They let themselves in to the property whenever they want without asking even though the contract says they should give 24 hours notice! Awful service!!!

Dear Shannon, I am slightly confused with this review as you moved into the property with us in March, and are still currently a tenant. As you are still residing in the property until next year we would not be able to return any deposit to you yet. I can assure you that no member of staff at Martin&Co would ever come to work hungover, and we pride ourselves in being experts of the local area. The staff member who did your viewing, previously lived close to your property so would have a good insight of the local amenities. You have an inspection with us next week (rearranged by yourselves to accommodate your availability) so please feel free to bring up any maintenance-related issues to my property manager, or alternatively please call the office to report these on 01332 650068. Many thanks, The Martin&Co Team

Hello thanks for taking time to leave a review, however Martin&Co did not manage the property you have been living in, the landlord managed it. Please contact your landlord directly to advise regarding your deposit.

Abysmal service, rude staff, dismissive and unhelpful. You could go into the office and wait ages for them to even acknowledge you. Deducted money from my deposit with FALSE CLAIMS. Left us tenants to clean the aftermath of a major flood on our own with no help from cleaners. DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY WHATSOEVER. ABYSMAL AND RUDE, INCOMPETENT STAFF.

Very Unprofessional. We saw a flat and totally loved it! I called right away before we left the flat to let know that we are interested and want to make an application. They said they going to call me the same day. Nobody called. The next day my boyfriend called and paid the application fee. After three hours suddenly they called and said that somebody already took the flat. How possible? Very poor communication and we felt very disappointed as we thought that everything was going as we expected. Would not recommend this letting agency and definitely will not pay any attention to their lettings anymore.

Hello Natalia. Could you please call me to discuss the problem you feel you experienced. I would like to investigate this further .Contact the office on 01332 650068 and ask to speak to Siân. 2.8.17 Hello Natalia. I have not heard from you, so have investigated your application. Two applications were taken on the same day, by different staff, for the property you were hoping to rent. Both applications were presented to the landlord, and unfortunately your application was not successful. You were emailed on the same day to advise you of this and your application fee was refunded straight away. If we can help you in finding an alternative property please contact us, we would be more than happy to help.

DIscrimination. First thing they are going to tell you is that they are not accepting housing benefit. Why is that? what are they scared of? the money is paid by the council, so what right do they have to refuse HB. Useless. Not even worth of the 1 star.

Martin&Co works directly with Housing Options and Derby Homes. We accept tenants who claim housing benefit or universal credit providing tenants are in receipt of sufficient benefit to afford the rent on certain properties. If you are claiming and wish to be considered please contact Housing Options or Derby Homes first.

One staff in the office let me waited for long time because they have to keep calling and ignored the guest. Then she told me she closed the phone calling, and talked with me very rude and just told me she would email me and did not answer any questions I asked to her. Without any respect to their costumers!! What a bad service she gave to me! Bad attitude, slowly workings even though I paid for them.

One of the worst state agents I have ever dealt with...absolute scum, they friendly and nice till you sign the contract...after that you will regret every single day you have dealt with them.

Absolute disgrace! We phoned to view a house in Allestree that had been on Rightmove for just 12 minutes. We were assured we had first viewing this morning. We have both taken time off work and lost around £100 only for these shysters to cancel our appointment 15 MINUTES before time...as we were pulling up at the property. Apparently someone has done the paperwork without viewing! Luckily I meet a lot of people in my job so will be passing on my thoughts to all.
