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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
