Tenants!!!!! Do not trust that this agency will protect you or will have your best interest as their priority (even low one). As they informed me they are “landlord’s agents” despite its us tenants who pays their bills. They did not repair reported damage for over six months. At moving out agents charged us over three quarters of the bond without signed moving-out inventory (that included replacing carpet in small bedroom for over 200 pounds). They did not allow us to fix whatever they thought was to be fixed even though we moved out a week before new tenants moved in. They just informed us how much they going to charge us. So before you’ll go ahead with Martin and co in Tamworth, please check other agencies. I’ll never ever rent from them. ——————————————— I have only two questions to an answer given 7 months ago to low rating. Do you have signed moving out inventory for this case (that you apparently reviewed)? Because I, as a tenant that was leaving the property, haven’t seen it. And also you’ve promised you’ll submit a quote to me before you’ll rectify any damages (and honestly not fully trimmed hedge should not be deemed as damage, stating this is just pure manipulation). Did you do that? Because again I haven’t seen it. You’ve employed a third party company for this service from a different town. Perhaps someone from the family or close friends. And you’ve let them to charge me 230 GBP for replacing carpet (that was marked stained in moving in inventory) in one of the bedrooms (not a ball room). Or maybe on entire floor or other houses as well (perhaps family or close friends). I don’t know, I was not informed about the price per square meter, how many meters are needed, none of the details related to the activity. Furthermore I’ve paid part of the costs for clearing the loft which was not even a part of inventory (but as a gesture of good will I’ve accepted that cost). In return I got arrogant treatment (that still persist looking at your reply), no chances to correct what was to correct and yes, you’ve been granted full amount that you’ve request, but only because I was late with my evidences (and that was solely my mistake and I paid for that), not because arbiter decided you were right. So maybe YOU should be looking if YOUR statement is factually correct. So again I’ll not be recommending your ‘services’ to potential tenants, even more I’ll be strongly advising them to NOT to use you as letting agency. I have also talked to the landlord who owns a few houses and had experiences with your organization, that made him reluctant to get further business relationship with Martin&Co in Tamworth again.

Thank you. Having reviewed your tenancy history, we can see that the team has followed the landlord’s instructions and the legal requirements regarding the holding of deposits. Unfortunately, your statement is factually incorrect. We act on behalf of the landlord offering a service. You have implied that we have incorrectly taken funds from your bond. As you may be aware all bonds, or more correctly called deposits, are held by an independent government body, in this case the DPS, and no deductions from your deposit can be made without your consent or the permission of an arbiter. We clearly set out the damage that we believe was done to the property during your tenancy which was evidenced by the inventory and pictures taken after you vacated. You disagreed with the fact that you caused any damage and therefore the matter was referred to independent arbitration by the DPS. Both sides were given the opportunity to submit written evidence and after reviewing our evidence the independent arbiter found in the landlord’s favour and allowed the deduction. I’m sorry you feel disappointed with regards to your deposit, however, positively, the landlord was able to repair the damage and return the property to its original condition for their next tenants.

Very unprofessional! We arranged for a market appraisal at our property and they didn't turn up. Do not use, what a waste of time!

Thank you for your feedback. You will recall that we did in fact call you to point out that we attended the property and knocked the door on several occasions without response. We could hear activity in the property and assumed you could not hear our knocking or were otherwise engaged. Having received no response our member of staff returned to the office where you advised you did not want to re-book an appointment.
