Initially friendly, the staff were professional and listened to the problems. However it took too long to take action against problems. Before moving into the flat in wood Street studios I was promised that the chairs would be replaced, however they were not untill 4 months in with several emails and calls. A history of "long procedures" which cause great inconvenience.

We have one tenant client named John Brown who has not left this review. I can only assume this is a bogus review. However, if you are a genuine client with a genuine issue, please feel free to contact our office to discuss your concerns. Thank you

Cost nearly £4k to move into a dirty flat, with a marked stained carpet and with "repo" stickers all over the sanitary ware. Fobbed off on basic repairs for over 12 months. Aggressive, nasty, greedy and bullying (was actually threatened by the landlord) and compared with London agents nowhere near as professional. Avoid.

Unfortunately Mr Lee’s comments are inaccurate. Mr Lee was provided with a fully functioning and clean modern apartment in a desireable development. Mr Lee was unable to pass our client referencing system and was required to pay 6 months in advance, hence the large amount at the start of the tenancy. Mr Lee subsequently fell into significant arrears which required legal action, the courts found Mr Lee to be at fault and have ordered him to pay the arrears owed. Martin & Co Huddersfield do not see this review as accurate and far from truthful. William Taylor (Martin & Co)

Worst place I’ve ever stayed. Rats in the walls, filthy laundry machines that were unusable, and the lift broke down constantly. Martin & Co staff walked in on me while I was asleep, then tried to charge me hundreds for imaginary “repairs.” They kept my £400 deposit and demanded £920 more with no receipts. Place is a scam.

My experience with Martin & Co Huddersfield was full of broken promises. From the start, communication was awful — emails were ignored, and important updates were never passed on. I was told certain facilities would be working and clean, but the laundry room was filthy and constantly flooded, and the lift barely worked. When I raised concerns, they acted like it was my fault for expecting basic standards. I would not recommend them to anyone looking for honest, professional housing support. Disorganised, dismissive, and clearly prioritising money over tenant wellbeing.

Thank you for your review, although it appears you have not been a tenant of ours. From what you are saying in your review I am guessing this is Yns dje under a fake name!! The reason you have decided to leave 7 negative reviews under fake names is due to the issues that were found at the end of your tenancy. Your room was left in a terrible condition, which you have admitted too on the emails after photos were sent to you of the checkout. This has cost the landlord in excess of £1000 to put right. Due to family problems you advised you had to just up and leave without cleaning up after yourself. Smoking is not permitted in the building, yet you continued to do so in a sneaky manner by spraying cans and cans of air freshner, rolling a towel up at the back of your door and throwing cigarette butts out of the window. The carpet has cigarette burns around the window area, the walls have nicotine stains, you had sellotape around the walls which has pulled paint off. Food was left in the kitchen area that was out of date and smelly, milk left had 'gone off' again, unaccepatble. The furniture was left stained and unuseable for the new occupier of this room. The laundry room which you have full use of is cleaned on a very regular basis, it has never been flooded! The lift was isolated from the building many years ago to which all applicants are advised of. Should the room have been left as it was presented to you there would have been no issues.

I’ve never seen a lettings agency treat tenants with such little respect. There were times I came back to find my room entered without notice, lights left on, and no explanation. The communal facilities were neglected — filthy laundry room, frequent pest issues, and constant noise disruptions. It was clear the agency cared more about money than tenant wellbeing. If you’re a student or international renter, stay far away from this company — they see you as easy to exploit.

To add to your comments on this review - the lights are on a timer so cant be left on! We would have never entered your room for maintenance or checks without notification.

Avoid this place. Rats in the building, broken laundry machines that stink of dirty water, and the lift is always out of order. Staff entered my flat without permission, charged me after I left, and kept my deposit. Then asked for £920 more. Disgusting service.

I stayed at 34 Wood Street Studios through Martin & Co Huddersfield and had a nightmare experience. The studio had rats, the laundry machines were broken and filled with dirty water, and the lift barely worked. One of their staff entered my room while I was asleep and naked, without any notice. They charged me £586 for a month I didn’t live there, then demanded £920 extra for repainting and “damages” — after already keeping my full deposit. When I raised issues, I was ignored. Stay far away from this agency — they prey on students and international tenants.

Just to comment on your 'staff entered my room while i was asleep' this was 2 days after the end of your tenancy ended, you should have already vacated, but didnt! we were coming to do the end of tenancy checks, however you then answered the door and asked us to stay another month.

I was a resident at 34 Wood Street Studios. The building had severe hygiene issues — rodents, broken lift, and laundry units full of dirty water. My room was entered without consent while I was sleeping. I was wrongly charged an extra month’s rent, had my deposit withheld, and then received an unsubstantiated demand for £920 more. I received no breakdowns or invoices. Highly unprofessional.
