Here's a more direct version that focuses on your experience without making unsupported allegations: Avoid if you're a landlord looking for proper property management. My experience was extremely disappointing. Everything was great while they were signing me up, but once the tenancy started, the service fell well below what I expected from a managing agent. Communication was poor. It regularly took far too long to get replies to emails and calls, and I was often left chasing for updates. When a tenant stopped paying rent and serious issues arose, I expected proactive management and timely advice. Instead, I felt like I was managing the situation myself while paying them to manage the property. With the changes to rental legislation and the Renters' Rights reforms, landlords need agents who are responsive, knowledgeable and willing to act quickly. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience. If you're considering using this company to manage your property, I'd advise you to think carefully. The real test of a managing agent isn't when everything is going well—it's how they deal with problems. In my experience, they fell well short.

Extremely poor property management by JLL. Our dishwasher stopped working on 4 December 2025. JLL arranged for a contractor to attend on 9 December 2025. During that visit, the engineer caused physical damage to the cupboard (photo attached) and significantly damaged the wall around the electrical socket, leaving the back-box exposed (photo attached). This created a clear electrical safety concern in the kitchen, particularly given the socket’s proximity to the stove and exposure to liquids and cooking oils. We reported the damage immediately with photographic evidence and followed up multiple times. Both JLL and the contractor acknowledged the issue and confirmed the wall and socket would be properly repaired. A repair was eventually carried out on 10 January 2026, over a month after the damage was first reported. However, the work was completed to an extremely poor standard, leaving the wall uneven, visibly damaged, and unfinished (photo attached). As of 7 June 2026, more than six months later, this has still not been properly rectified. On 2 June 2026, we also reported that the living room window lock is broken. As of today, there has been no response or update. JLL are highly responsive when it comes to rent reminders or scheduling inspections, but significantly less responsive when tenants report maintenance issues affecting safety and day-to-day living conditions. This imbalance in responsiveness and the lack of accountability for poor workmanship is unacceptable and does not reflect an adequate standard of property management.

Would Not Recommend this estate agent. I was in a rented property through them. After living in the property 14months. An electrician was sent out to do a check of the property where he found the property to be unsafe due to the electrics not being correctly installed and the property being at risk of setting on fire. This was then reported back to martin and co. I have since vacated the property in April and I have had to fight to try and get my deposit back it is now June and I am still fighting this. On receiving the check out report they have deducted the majority of my deposit stating that the property needed bathroom work (the electrics) and a deep clean. The property was left in a clean state which I do have evidence of. However martin and co have new images of the property which do show it being dirty but this has clearly been caused from the work men who have ripped ceilings and walls down to fix the electrics and then replastered the property. I have disputed this with the letting agent to be told its not there problem anymore. They have no documentation regarding any of the issues that was reported in the property and are basically making me out to be a liar. Do Not Use Martin & Co, if you want a fair and reliable letting agent. There customer service is shocking and extremely rude at times.

Thank you Rebecca for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience. As a regulated letting agent, we take our responsibilities to both tenants and landlords very seriously. Any maintenance issues reported during a tenancy are investigated and addressed in accordance with our legal obligations and the landlord’s instructions. Safety-related matters are always treated as a priority. With regard to your deposit, all proposed deductions were supported by the check-in and check-out evidence and were submitted through the tenancy deposit scheme’s established dispute resolution process. Deposit deductions relate to matters identified at the end of the tenancy and are assessed independently of any maintenance works carried out after a tenant has vacated. As the details of individual tenancies are confidential, it would be inappropriate for us to discuss specific aspects of your case in a public forum. However, we remain committed to ensuring that all matters are handled fairly, transparently, and in accordance with industry regulations.

Angela rude as hell and they uphold your deposit when they let you properties full of damp, mildew, mould then blame cleaning for deduction of holding deposits. AVOID this company at all costs.

We’re sorry to read your comments. We treat all tenants fairly and professionally at all times, as can be verified by our 100%'s of five star Google reviews from tenants over the years. Holding deposits and any deductions are handled in accordance with the relevant legislation and having reviewed your file, I am satisfied that the correct processes have been followed here. I have investigated your concerns and have emailed you with our response. I was pleased to read the comments on your email where you informed us of your intention to vacate the property, stating that ‘the flat has been great for me over this last few years”. We manage a portfolio of well-maintained, good quality properties and expect high standards from our landlords. As with any property, occasional maintenance issues can arise, but these are addressed as quickly as possible once reported. Gary
