Firstly I agree with the reviews previously made by other customers. I actually feel for the owner who actually trusted Martin and co . I reported number of issues to the agent and nothing was done about. For over 6 months the velux windows were leaking . The door lock was temperamental , we were advised to put wd40 on it , luckily it’s a wet safe building so we used to leave it unlocked. This is an apartment in valley mills in elland. Do not rent from these cowboys and landlords they don’t care about your property. I’m regards to your response from the owner , no maintenance reviews were conducted we advised of the issues aswell , each time you booked an appointment no one showed up , only on the 17th of November 2021 where I cancelled the inspection due to previously of no one showing up or getting in contact with us to let us know that you are unable to make it. So I’m the two years of renting the property no inspections were doneNegativeQuality, Value

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback Mr Pervez. If you would like to discuss your issues in more detail, I would be happy to discuss these with you in more detail. Having looked into your issues and photo's, it appears that they relate to building maintenance which is dealt with by the block managers. It would certainly have helped progress repairs if our colleagues were able to attend for periodic inspections from time to time. Thanks again and I look forward to speaking with you.

Pretend to be nice before you sign the contract and pay the money. Assure you they have corrected everything needed in the property but as soon as they got your money they don’t care about you anymore. Lee always advices you to use your money to correct everything and cancelled most of the things that needed fixing. Overall company is run by a clown. Expect an auto reply to this. Sorry my mistake. They start calling and Harassing you and how did you call me if I was hiding???NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Unfortunately this person is wrong in all aspects of this review and has a very immature view of the world. I have just called him to discuss his concerns to be met with a barrage of verbal abuse and name calling, very childish behaviour! This tenant was in arrears and was upset that his deposit was awarded to the landlord to pay for the arrears left on his account. During the tenancy a total of 22 maintenance jobs were completed for the tenant. To confirm, this is not an auto reply, but an honest account of a bad person with a bad attitude who will not even post reviews with his own name. Good luck to you Sir!

I contacted this company for my nephew relocating to study in Huddersfield. Despite explaining he would not pass credit check he was still given a form to sign that implicated him. I was asked for 3 months payslip and proof of home ownership I gave this then another request came since I was listed as a director, I supplied and because this didn’t have the information of salary in the last financial year when I didn’t get paid, Emma concluded she was given wrong information by my nephew. The form he filled in requested salary has to be £9750, UK citizens & home owner. Payslip submitted was £22k and home owner documents. Emma was disgustingly rude and abrupt when I called on the 10/02 to explain the occupant is new and I’m in charge of payment. I previously explained this to William but it seems either it wasn’t communicated or Emma did not listen. The company has kept my £75 despite giving all information they require. You are providing a needed service if you can’t do your job then please quit

We were very unhappy with our experiences of this outfit. We believe they totally mismanaged our property, loads of examples for instance writing to us to suggest we extend our tenants contract even though they were not paying their rent. We believe we were lied to on other occasions. Avoid this outfit.They even asked me to call them to check I had the right business!! Sort of proves my point really! I have their correspondence to us to prove it. Just give them a wide berth.

Dear Mr Westerby, Unfortunately we do not have a record of you as a landlord client? Perhaps you could call us to confirm you are discussing the correct business? Thanks

would leave a 0 star if i could. absolute thieves and liars

Reply from agent

Whilst we always appreciate people taking the time to leave a review or helpful suggestions, we certainly do not appreciate comments such as yours. This individual was advised to use The Property Ombudsman Service, who agreed that Martin & Co did absolutely everything correctly, thus suggesting that the only ‘liar’ in this scenario is the person to leave this review. If the reader of this exchange were to know the entire series of events around your tenancy, I am sure they would not agree with your comments or rating. Serious thought should be given to the libellous nature of your slurs and whether they ought to remain in the public domain Sir. Thank you

Good morning GUY B - is that your name really? This user left a worded review last night, but has since removed it. Martin & Co Huddersfield have never had a client inline with this name and safely assume this is a bogus review from someone with too much time their hands. If by some 1 in a million shot you are a genuine client with concerns, I would be very interested in speaking with you about your experience. Wishing you a good day GUY B

Moved into one of their buildings and within the first two weeks the hot water went off for 3 days and at the same time the WiFi wasn’t up “due to the landlord being busy” Updating my situation, it has now been a week with “on and off” hot water where i have personally only seen the hot water being on once for about an half an hour in the morning before it went again however the internet has been fixed. Still would not recommend this letting agency and would in fact tell people to avoid doing business with them at all. The WiFi working is also extremely poor if you’re using it for anything other than simply looking things up on googleNegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value

Dear James, Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate the issues you face are frustrating, but the power to rectify these issues lies with the building owner - not Martin & Co. That said, I am aware that our colleagues are doing everything in their power to help you. Please be assured that you have the full support of our colleagues whilst we do what we can to help resolve the issues. Thank you

They Pretend to be nice before you sign the contract and pay the money, but as soon as they got your money they don’t care about you anymore, took months to repair and took your deposit for no reason. The only way to get your deposit is to dispute with the Dps or TPS I can’t remember and you probably will have to take legal action But to be fair I like one of their staffs called William or will, always friendly and helpful but he couldn’t help much as he is responsible for something else I believe but others are really not helpful at all Better Avoid them if you can and there are a lot of properties that you can choose

Good morning, Unfortunately we have no records of a client with your name. If you would like to get in touch to confirm you were actually a client of ours, we would be happy to discuss your concerns. The dispute service within the DPS is there to protect tenants rights, no legal would be required to claim a deposit. The only reason the DPS would not award a deposit refund is if they saw clear evidence that it should be retained by the agency / landlord. I'm happy to speak with you at a time to suit, if you are genuinely a client of ours. Thank you
