Avoid if you want your deposit back. Unfairly took third of my deposit and the deposit protection scheme took their side! Collusion. Gave 1 star as the agent who showed me around was great but the rest cannot be trusted. Edit Pathetic response from yoursleves just shows the unprofessional level you will stoop to. I complained few times about the toilet waste from upstairs flat overflowing into mine but you did nothing and now you're using that to personally attack me is ridiculous! Saying that there was bodily hair and small smudge of paintwork in the cupboard doesn't justify £225 to clean it, this is all comes under general maintenance. Even your own independent check out report said the flat was clean As for the the 'independent' adjudicator, they awarded you the deposit by default and not in agreement as their all important email went straight to junk mail which was asking to send the proof in via email rather than through the website. Their process is completely unclear IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THEIR DEPOSIT TAKEN UNFAIRLY, I AM IN PROCESS OF TAKING A GROUP ACTION AGAINT THE DPS AND MARTIN AND CO

Dear Waheed Zaman, You agreed to an adjudicator with the DPS, independent from yourselves and Martin & Co, to make a decision on the cost of cleaning that was incurred on how you left the property at the end of your tenancy. The independent adjudicator decided based on the photographic evidence that Martin & Co were right in having the property cleaned after you left. I am sorry that the adjudicator did not give you the decision you hoped to receive, but if you leave a property with a soiled toilet and body hair throughout the property, when it was brand new and professionally cleaned before the start of your tenancy, then it is justified that these cleaning issues are rectified. Leaving a negative review when an independent adjudicator decides against your expectations however is not justified.

They do not reply to you. They also tell fibs about property being available. If they decide they don't like you they lie and say a property isn't available but it is.

My sister was made to feel very uncomfortable when a very inappropriate comment was made to her during viewing of this property from a male estate agent. Do not go alone to viewings.

Avoid like the PLAGUE. Overcharging and bullying of tenants. Renting out properties that shouldn’t legally be rented due to health concerns such as black mould and damp. Disregard to the well-being of their tenants and only show loyalty to the landlord. Still trying to charging check in and out fees and more despite the new Tenancy Act being passed as of June. I rarely write reviews but I sincerely hope someone sees this when enquiring about a property from this company. It is not worth it.
