We lived at 150 Lowerhouses Lane frrom 2023 to 2024 with many issues that was not sorted out beforehand moving in. The house had issues with leaking and black mold everywhere. Even with dehumidifiers everywhere the mold would grow back the next day no matter what treatment. I will always remember the first day we discovered a water damaged cupboard in the kitchen filled with black mold and the only response we received was "use bleach" when it was very clear the cupboard was fully damaged. Radiators did not heat up the house so that made the mold grow faster than ever during winter. The fan and window in the bathroom was too small and you can clearly see the landlord covered mold up with paint. Doesn't help that the paint would wipe off after one swipe. The main and biggest concern was the windows being stuck and with no way to air out or if a danger of fire happen they were stuck. The agency never did fix this throughout the year with no where to air some bedrooms. One of the bedrooms wall was damaged meaning leaking and drenched in water so the whole wall was covered in mold and at the time the other tenant slept in there and he was getting ill and it worsen his skin condition x2 with full body rashes. I told them the first day i have asthma and the mold will affect me and it did. Couldn't breath, out of breath, nose bleeds and hyper sensitive nose. At one point i lost my voice throughtout the week from inhaling mold whilst cleaning. One thing i forgot to mention is the ceiling fell in one of the rooms because of the landlord mistake covering up old ceiling with a new one meaning it weighed down and crashed. Luckily this was during the night so no one was injured but again no compensation or reduce of rent. The landlords were constantly on holidays meaning being irresponsible. Never helping and reduce the rent in fact the landlord was bragging about not putting the rent up one time. At the end the landlord agreed we could leave earlier than the contract but also threatened to not let us leave when we couldnt pay rent for 2 days even though we stressed the reason why we couldn't. He also took all the deposit plus try to charge us a couple hundred more even tho we was living in a mold ridden house for a whole year with no rent reduced and out health was affected. And when they did bug us about the extra charge it was during a hard time in our life where the other tenant called Simon Jones had recently lost his younger sibling and we didnt have the energy to fight back but we managed to reduce the charges where we only received £20 ONLY of the deposit back. Also one more thing is before we moved in the garden was severely overgrown and was hard to keep up since they never sorted it out. Never again will I use martin and co in the future and the landlords of the house should be ashamed of themselves. P.S. I have plenty more pictures on my pc of all the damages including the ceiling falling, overgrown garden on the first day including all the mld on the first day but currently on my phone writing this.

The worst estate agent I have ever dealt with. Moved into a property in Huddersfield which already had nails on the wall from rhe very beginning and accused us of putting them in when we moved out. They accused us of leaving boxes in the cellar which definitely wasn't true as those boxes were already down in the cellar when we had moved in. They kept more than half of our deposit by using these things as excuses. I'll make a special mention about Lisa Hollings who is extremely rude and extremely deceitful. Anyone using them as a estate agent. Please be warned and be extra careful when renting out a property. They also asked us to get a duplicate key made for them which I refused as they are the ones getting paid to maintain the house hence its their job to come to us and get the key made themselves. The cheek of them!!! And I shall also continue to post more negative comments about martin and co. I will not accept more than half of our deposit to be taken away from us. And then lisa holllings calls me up saying how upset she was at me using her name and that I shouldn't use it. She doesn't want to be embarrassed nor does she want people to know what she's like ! That is how much it bothered her. Lastly why else would they have a rating of 3.9 out of 5. It's clearly not good enough when you have useless people working for them!!!

Poor poor poor . Very unprofessional. Do not deal with these people , they are a bunch of crooks they will keep your deposit. 0 stars for you Martin and Co Well spoken Bilal Anjum , you were cheated of your deposit. Shame on you Martin &Co . Give them their money back .

Go on Facebook and see the honest reviews !

Do not recommend these people at all. Nice at first but vulture mentality. They will take you for granted beware! Read the negative comments!

Be ware these guys are criminals. They hired a professional thief named Lee. He came into our flat and basically stole everything that was in there. Clothes, electronics, furniture. He claimed he threw it all away during the pandemic when there was a lockdown. This is false. There was expensive clothes. TV’s, consoles etc. honestly the flat was full of equipment and furniture easily worth around £4000-£5000. Designer clothes from Gucci, north face, Canada goose, Lacoste etc. all stolen by this company. We had a situation with damped ceiling that they simply just re painted over. They’re very bad if you’re an international student from overseas. Arabic or Chinese. They will 100% take advantage of that. These people are sub human they are vultures and all they care about is milking you for your money and properties. Look at all the negative reviews they have I’m not the only person that had to suffer from these thief’s. Please go elsewhere they are professionals at what they’re doing and they will get anyone. There motto should be “we don’t discriminate when we milk you dry” be careful people I wouldn’t write all of this for no apparent reason. They’re thief’s.

If you are renting a property from this company I would highly recommend you choose wisely! I have rented from them for the past 5 years and never missed a payment and spent at least 5k doing the garden and the house out with new decor and carpets also astroturfing the garden! They came every 6 months to take pictures my house was always immaculate! But when it came to finally getting a mortgage and having to leave my property 2 months before my tenancy ended they charged me £380 reletting fee and the rental team were so rude they made me feel like I was so lower class because I only rented! We have saved for years for a mortgage whilst paying £700 rent per month this company treat people who rent as trash and it disgusts me! Please think twice before using this estate agent

I do not recommend this agency...

The worst letting agents I have ever come across .lying sly hideous outfit .phoned one day to speak to one of the clowns who work their said he was not in is office .I was outside looking at him .....Avoid
