Appalling customer service, rude staff, the manager Julie is even ruder. There are scores of estate agents in Stafford, don`t use this one!

Money Money Money Obsessed!!! If you are looking to rent from this organization then stay clear. They have left me feeling Depressed, Frustrated and very upset. After 2 years being a customer renting a home in Stafford for myself and my son who always paid on time even through Covid when I lost my employment I still managed to pay the rent and bills etc. All the visits they do and supposed to come every few months to check on the property always had positive feedback saying the house is being well looked after etc etc. WHEN YOU MOVE OUT. * Will try to keep your deposit money * Manager sends harsh emails * They seem to loose records of works people who attend the property for inspections or call outs etc. * Poor communication, you will constantly be sending emails or calling to get updates. * Once you have cleaned the property to how it was when you moved in they will say its not good enough and employ cleaners without your authorization to do so. I have many videos and pictures of how the property looks when I left it and I am more than happy with the standard and condition more than satisfactory. Actually an improvement to when I moved in. Manager sent me an email today being very abrupt and not even giving me a simple answer to one of my questions. My Question: I would like to know how many hours you are paying for the cleaner to clean just the bathroom. Managers answer: The cleaner will take as long as it takes! This is after I had taken 1 day off work to go to the property to clean and the bathroom was very clean. Think the landlady is trying to sell the property and just trying to keep as much money as she can. Trust me guys stay well clear, I am a decent human being who works hard and always pays my way through life. I would not be writing this if I feel I have someway left the property in a poor state, I have not and for that reason I am letting you guys know.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Money money money obsessed

Avoid at all costs, they will be pleasant and helpful at first to get your money then once it’s time to move out they will rip you off. Money obsessed and unprofessional can’t even keep accurate records of works and inspections from gas engineers or plumbers.Was with them 2 years renting, they had no problems whatsoever with me, paid on time every month, looked after property, had inspections from them every 6 months well sometimes.They had no issues always said house was very well looked after.Come to moving out and they will do there best to keep your deposit.Poor excuses, poor management, manager sending unprofessional messages with no compassion at all.Just really shocking service, I’m a very reasonable human being but with these they have left me feeling frustrated and depressed.Stay well clear definitely the worst agents I have ever dealt with.

Avoid at all cost, after

Avoid at all cost, after years of being a good tenant, paying rent and bills on time, looking after property, visits every 6 months from staff happy with how the property is. Move out time ROBBING YOU!!! Trying to keep deposit money, manager with unprofessional emails, manager actually wrote me an email saying in red with her very short and unfriendly remarks, absolutely shocked when I read it. Absolutely no loyalty or compassion just money money money. STAY CLEAR worst estate agents in Stafford. Can’t even keep their records up to date with who comes to property to check on works etc. So you have to find proof yourself.

AVOID martin & co!! 2.5yrs I've lived in this property, been waiting for a council property for around 1.5 years, offered somewhere and I asked if they could deduct the remaining rent from deposit for them to send a reference off (made me pay £20 for) to the housing association that offered the 3 bed home to me as I'm overcrowded with me, 2 boys and my daughter in this 2 bedroom saying I owe the money and they wont deduct from out deposit we have with them. We paid to have brand new carpet put down in the living room costing around £240 as it was chipped laminate. Reported 7 repairs 8months ago, roof leaking/boiler leaking being 2 of them but nothing. So I paid £20 for a 'bad' reference so I have now lost the property I was offered for me and my 3 children. The house is in brilliant condition, I've always looked after my homes I've lived in, I'm absolutely livid with them!

Thank you for taking the time to rate and provide feedback on our business. I am so sorry to hear you are less than happy with the service level you have received and that you feel a reference has impacted on your new property. Reference requests differ from company to company and so I am happy to look into the information provided in your case, however we can only answer the questions asked honestly. When a request is made to pay rent or arrears from a deposit, it is completely at each landlords discretion and usually they do not allow this as of course it does not provide any cover for any potential dilapidations. If you wish for me to look into this further and see if we can assist you then please email stafford@martinco.com.
