TrustpilotMoney greedy
I am currently letting with Martin & co and when I first applied for the property I was told I had to be willing to pay above the asking price.
I have rented with many other lettings agencies in the past and have NEVER been asked to pay over the asking price. When telling other agencies about my experience with Martin & co they all seem shocked and said their companies will never ask tenants to pay more than what’s quoted on the advertisement!
Martin & co also make it a habit of having group viewings!
They stick 5-10 individuals in the same flat, at the same time. I am convinced they do this so that us applicants will feel pressured to up the money offer!
Lastly, my 12 month contract is soon finishing and I have been told that if I stay my rent will increase by £50 a month!
Horrendous money greedy company!

TrustpilotOur best letting agents experience to date
Our experience with martinandco has been incredible. From start to finish Isabella has helped us in all areas of preparing to move, and she was especially helpful considering this was me and my partners first time renting a property that wasn’t a university property. We had such a good experience from a service point of view and whilst there were hiccups with other companies, we were assisted quickly so overall we couldn’t have asked for better!

GoogleTENANTS BEWARE
I made 5 complaints against Martin & Co with the Property Ombudsman - all 5 were ruled in my favour by the Property Ombudsman with monetary compensation to be paid to me by Martin & Co. The complaints were for poor service and neglecting maintenance repairs.
Months later, Scott Haddock (from Martin & Co) illegally entered my apartment with 5 other strangers when I specifically told him in writing not to enter my home in my absence. He instead quoted me a clause in the tenancy agreement (after he conducted the unauthorised viewing) and implied that I MUST allow them access to my home for future tenant viewings and indicated that they will continue to enter my property to conduct viewings when they need to.
I am pursuing this with both the police and the council as it is a criminal offence to enter someone's property when they have explicitly told you not to.

Gurj Dosanjh offered me a spectacular service. He was able to find me tenants within two hours of marketing the property. Now that's what I call being proactive and efficient. He was very approachable, offered great advice and attentive to the kind of service I required for my property. Gurj's customer service was exceptional. I would gladly recommend this estate agents

don't make the mistake we did to go with martin and Co! We fell for some of the good reviews (which I now believe is not real). Don't fall for the best real estate of the year awards. We had the worst experience with them. We were scammed and we are advising you to look in a different direction.Worst customer service ever!

FacebookI have recently taken out a property with this company in harborne. Worst experience of my life, the property is completely unfit to live in.
Rodent infestation, broken guttering, damp and cracked plaster work to name just a few problems.
The agency have a complete lack of respect for their customers and charge a £500.00 exit fee to leave a property which is clearly uninhabitable. Do not rent with this company.
