I could write a book about the amount of things that were bodged in the house I was renting through them. At least the agent was helpful.
Had huge problems with their referencing company being useless and the house being given to us in a deplorable state, but the guys in the reading office did try to help to be fair. Overall, I think the issues are most on the agency they use, their bad landlords, poorly maintained houses with non working keys and rubbish contracts. We went with them from lack of choice being time pressured after the house we wanted got pulled off the market just hours before we were due to be given a contact. If we were not pressed for time, we would have chosen a different house. Shout out to stephen and Anita from the reading office who did their best to help. Would not have given the experience even 1 star without them
Nice people but pretty useless, every year when renewing our contract we had to make the same amendments which would be promised to be incorporated into next year's contracts, but never were. Inventory check was I think for a different flat (bathrooms were listed as white emulsion but were infact fully tiled from ceiling to floor!) which was fine - it was a different company that comes in to do inventories, but when we wanted it changed 'we don't re-sign on inventories'. They didn't manage to find anyone to take our place when we left in 2 months (which would have saved us 2 months rent!) yet another agency managed to fill the flat in 24hrs. You have to be on it like a hawk, but we've yet to find a decent letting agency - maybe as a business there's not enough money in it to make it worth the effort, who knows. At least humans work here though.
Doesnt even deserve 1 star tbh. I must say the most useless and annoying estate agent to work with is james mulder. My gosh the amount of times he would confuse me and make me panic without even checking on any updates from other parties is such a joke. Anytime i would ask for advice regarding the sale for the property he didnt want to “disturb” the seller/ buyer with simple questions. But he has no issue calling you to ask a million questions. And also would make up such silly lies about things to do with the property which all got revealed during the survey. Honestly pls do not go with martin and co. And especially do nottttttt even bother with james
My experience with James from the Martin & Co Reading branch was extremely disappointing. He came across as disingenuous and completely rude throughout our interaction. Rather than being helpful or professional, his attitude made the whole process unnecessarily unpleasant. I would not recommend dealing with him.
Very rude and unprofessional behaviors . Specially by management of Martin &co Whitley st. They lied about what they promised to and the responsibility they have , make sure u all read the full contract paper before you deal with them .
If I could give them zero stars, I would. They were my sales agents and totally incompetent and awful. The sale took more than 6 months, and the day before completion, the buyer pulled out. 100% as a result of the agent's incompetence. Major blow to me and totally wast of time. Avoid them like the plague
Only giving it a star because aim forced to. If I could this would be a -1⭐️ Absolutely terrible. They have zero interests for the tenants, they only care about the landlord’s interests and their own £££ Honestly AVOID at all costs!! They’ll be all sweet and rope you into a contract you aren’t happy with only for you to end up on the streets. I regret giving these scammers even a dime.
Customer service is just disgusting, cheap and in general what they represent is a joke. Sad old dude on the phone trying to be more that he is, pathetic waste of time
