Ex Staff Member. What I have to say about the Stirling Branch. Landlords: Charges your account one price for repairs, but pays contractors substantially less, taking a cut for them self. Always looking to squeeze every penny. Tenants: Withheld "holding fees" if referencing failed, would withdraw any excess money a tenant had paid if unchallenged for themselves. Raised rents to bully tenants on. Potential Staff Members: Would not pay a legal salary, bonuses not paid or withdrawn with no notice. It is an all new team for a very good reason. In response to the reply: "Dear Gavin, This team are professional and honest. Our landlord TOB are applied to the letter, and I believe you have not worked here for some time, so a little unfair to comment." Dear Imtiaz, Landlord terms of business state 10%. I have seen invoices where 50+% were applied like Gas Safety Certificates, PAT certificates and other items. I worked for 2 years and had left 6 months prior to that review going up. No comment on the other items raised. Comments seem both accurate and fair, and I have no doubt many other ex members of staff would fully agree with it. It is an honest review and you are fully aware of that.

I wanted them to act as property managers and lease out my property but they are absolutely hopeless money grabbers.

Wouldn’t deal with this company, incompetent and not a reliable service.

AVOID. I lived in a Martin and Co property for two years and had nothing but trouble. Almost lost our new property too because they are so completely incompetent. Phoning every day for weeks to chase things up with them and they only answer the phone if you select the option for inquiring about a new property - once they've got you in they really couldn't care less.

Started off with county rentals who were great to work with and helped us a lot as we began renting a flat. 6 months down the line they were bought over by Martin and co just as we were leaving the flat and we have had nothing but problems. We left a few things lying such as air fresheners, a lighter and hair bobbles. Things that we just missed whilst moving out. Now we are getting charged £105 for forgetting to pick these things up (which would take less than 5 mins). I have read a lot of reviews and people are saying the same. Martin and co just want the money and have been rude over email. Definitely think everyone dealing with these horrible people to do it over email to have proof as they will worm their way out of any situation such as taking £105 for a silly mistake of leaving a few things lying around.

Martin & Co are happy to hear what your grievance is and would like to assist further but we have no record of you being a tenant or having ever contacted us.
