Dear Barnabé, I cannot see any records of you having rented, let, purchased or sold a property through us. If this was meant for another agency please can you remove this. Kind regards, Martin & Co Oxford

An absolutely awful real estate agency. They are incapable of reading emails longer than one sentence, my agents were absolutely useless and it came to a point that I had to explain to them that now EU citizens need visas too because of Brexit, which someone whose job it is to check Right to Rent documents should know. This did not stop them from wasting my time on many occasions further regarding why I need a visa (?). Every conversation with the agent was excruciating, as they did not seem to comprehend information. Avoid if possible. It made moving to the UK and renting my first flat an unnecessarily stressful experience. I am unable to reply to the response from the owner, but I was a tenant in 2022. I am not talking about the wrong agency, I most definitely remember this experience correctly. The main correspondence was with Abi, but there were a few other agents involved.

Elena, I need more information so that i can identify you as a tenant of a property that we manage. As things stand we can't identify you at all, making me wonder if you meant to leave a review for a different agent or a different Martin & Co branch? Please do contact the oxford branch and ask to speak with me so that I can discuss this in person with you. Kind regards, Bill

Miguel, we have no record of you ever having been a customer of ours. I believe you may have left this review in error or meant for it to be for another agency. Please let me have additional information if you have had an unsatisfactory experience with Martin & Co Oxford. Regards, Bill Cooper

Booked on Saturday about a viewing with them on Monday, then they cancelled it without telling me, I had to figure this out after walking down to the property for 30 mins and waited for 30 mins and then call to find out what happened. Can't believe this.

Unfortunately this property was let following a viewing over the weekend, and the holding deposit was receipted within minutes of the scheduled viewing. I accept that it was unfortunate that there was insufficient time to call early as we had intended this morning's viewing to go ahead as planned. A member of my team was en-route to the property to meet with you. Unfortuantely the current rental market in Oxford is incredibly competitive and applicants are often insisting that their holding deposit secures the property ahead of the referencing process. I can only apologise for any inconvenience caused. We will aim to do better in future. Kind regards, Bill C

Be warned, we have had a really terrible experience with Martin+Co Oxford. They are off-hand in their approach to clients and left us hanging in a very desperate situation. They are totally money focused and the human side of the transition is swiftly swept out of the way. It's only the money. Do not expect compassion or kindness from them, they are hard! Never have we had a stressful dealings with an agency before this time. We have been through extreme duress and stress with them. We are now taking our case with Martin+Co Oxford to the Property Ombudsman. If you have a choice, go somewhere else.

Sometimes the provision of feedback is malicious in nature and this is an example of that. Delia provided information on her application form that subsequently proved to be inaccurate. And, it was her decision to withdraw from the tenancy application just 3 days before her proposed move-in date. We will defend our actions when asked to do so by The Property Ombudsman as we believe we acted professionally throughout. kind regards, Bill

Harold, I responded to your tenant colleague at length previously about the issues you raised and explained why the criticism is misplaced and unfair. I will not repeat that on this occasion. Kind regards, Bill

Melissa, having left this review you have informed Mudassar that your frustration and comments relate to your solicitor and not to Martin & Co. I have heard Mudassar speak with you at least one a week over the last four months. I request that you withdraw your comment given it is not meant for Martin & Co and can prove quite damaging when I believe that Mudassar has shown great commitment and patience.

I have never been treated so poorly by any estate agent ever. I booked a viewing with Alex, who had promised to send videos of the property over before the in person viewing. He did not do this, and I had to call the office 4 times to confirm my viewing. When it was finally confirmed, myself and a friend travelled four hours to view the property, and received a call 4 minutes before the viewing, whilst we had been standing outside, saying that the viewing was cancelled as the tenants were isolating. I explained that we were hoping to put an offer in for the property that day, and asked if we could stand outside the property and watch the videos as we still hadn’t been sent them and I had a lot of questions. I was told very curtly by Alex that there was nothing he could do and he was on his way to his next viewing. I was astounded by the fact that this lettings agent had the time to find out the tenants were isolating, call the next viewing and rearrange and then make his way to the viewing, but didn’t have the ten minutes he had promised us to simply talk about the property. He clearly wasn’t planning to make his way to the viewing, as he was already off in another direction. He refused to even have a phone call about the property. I was told I would be sent the videos as soon as he hung up- several days later and I still haven’t got them. To make matters worse I tried getting in contact with Alex, who hung up on my calls and when he did pick up was extremely rude, and found out through another agency that the property was under offer the whole time. I am absolute appalled and see why estate agents get such a bad reputation now.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Nus, I have written to you separately to apologise for the dreadful experience your received. Alex did not deliver the service quality we aspire to. There is simply no excuse, and I am grateful for you bringing your expereince to my attention. Kind regards, Bill Cooper
