If the transaction is simple they are good enough to conclude But if it requires understanding and communication they are incapable In my case the property was at later stage found to have cracks and had insurance claims hence bank rejected the standard evaluation and demanded structural survey Structural survey was requested and half payment was agreed if Bank accepts the report - Martin and co agreed - but never got one Beware - especially first time buyers! The property has been remarketed without mentioning flaws - 5 rotten eggs rather than 1 star

Only walked past other week to see the old place as an old friend of mine once ran an antique shop that I used to work and frequent some years ago Only to be approached by a plump lady who seemed to look down at everything rather displeasingly with an attitude you would not believe nor comprehend. We were quizzed as to why we were looking the place up and down when I was pointing out to the wife about the changes to the premises despite my explanation outside of the building. One only assumes nobody brought any birthday cake in to share that particular day and me and the misses were copping the fallout I worked there so i know 100% Dear me god help anyone enquiring to use your agency if we got havoc for being on the public footpath....

If you are a tenant, steer clear from this agent. They are from, start to finish, about milking every last penny out of tenants. Throughout my time renting a property through them, they tried to find every possible way to extort money from me. It was extremely stressful and upsetting, and they managed to ruin two Christmas periods for me with their shenanigans. If you must rent through them get all agreements and communications in writing and take comprehensive photographs of the property upon moving in and moving out. Check your rights when they attempt to charge you for things as they will try and make you liable for things that are legally the landlords responsibility. And if you are a landlord, I implore you to use a different agents if you have any care and consideration for your tenants and view renters as human beings rather than just a resource to be exploited.

Would not recommend anyone to use Martin co saltire as for 6 months we had to fight for holes in the roof to be repaired and damp to be resolved 3 different times they had to come out to fix radiators and just bodged them up and just left me with a damp and run down house and then at the end of all this they charge me for dehumidifiers they had took back and refused to admit this so I ended up having to pay out for them aswel as trying to charge for issues that was made up and cleaning the house even though I had provided proof of a cleaning company doing this just as I left and dps agreeing that the house was perfectly fine
