Unbelievable how they are still in business, they're charging me 10% for me to chase rent.
Sadly an awful experience with this estate agent. As tenants, they tried to rip us off on the deposit and I had to take them to the alternative dispute resolution service just to get my money back. I would never use them again. I also phoned up as a potential seller and had a bad experience, poor knowledge of the local market and received no viewings compared to other estate agents who booked in many viewings. DO NOT USE as a tenant, landlord, buyer or seller!
The staff are very busy, and two large payment errors have been made
Really bad service never ever let with them! They never fix anything! Don't reply and Don't help you just make falls promises! Don't respond to e-mails or phone calls! Only call when They need there rent! So disappointed! ???? the stress They give you makes really sick at this! Update: we Fix the problem by moving out. the mould in our flat became so bad that it was dangerous for my pregnancy. We still get our contract send to us by email every single day and we moved out 1,5 years ago.
I rent property for one year from this agent , the begin fee is £460 for 2 persons , when we check out , the deduction is £1040.81 from the DPS, some items just because the professional cleaning company didn't clean thoroughly, it was provided by the agent ,according to the report , the floor should be cleaned again , the biggest deduction is because the visit arranged by the agent destroy the floor because of their rude and irresponsible , it also let the renter to be in charge of it , it is so unfair , now this item are in dispute , but something i confirmed had been deducted , the amount i confirmed only because the agent ask me to do , i think if i confirm , there will be no other dispute , but it is not so , so pls pay attention .
Whilst initially good and proactive in finding tenants, now we've had the tenants in for a while and there's been some issues it turns out that their management is very very very poor. I am away travelling a lot so have to rely on email for communication, if there's an issue or query then this is just ignored basically they don't answer their emails. The charges from contractors are fairly high and with limited explanantion.
Truly one of the worst estate agencies I have ever dealt with. The agency have been trying to blame us for issues of mould and damp in the property at flat 1 Oakhall court when in fact it is an issue of rising and penetrating damp. Awful communication by all staff and we have been passed through 3 different staff because they are unable to manage the property. DO NOT RENT FROM MARTIN AND CO IF YOU WANT AN EASY TENANCY.
Richard went out of his way to help me move at very short notice. He even worked on his day off to ensure everything was arranged as necessary in 3 days! He was also available on Sunday when I needed his help! He has been friendly and courteous throughout the whole process and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who needs a letting agent! Update (08/03/2017) Apart from the initial great service, Martin & Co is by far the worst letting agent I have ever dealt with. Their maintenance department was unresponsive at best and the general customer service is appalling. I will actively avoid looking at properties that are marketed by Martin & Co in future.
