I have two properties rented through Martin & Co which have been under the direct management of Jen Ormond for a number of years, I have always found Jen to be knowledgeable, professional and responsive in dealing with the day to day issues of management and resolving specific issues as they arise. It is reassuring to know that I can rely on Jen to take care of business and keep on top of the evolving AST legislation and subsequent mandatory requirements to comply.

The worst estate agent I have dealt with in 20 years. First, I was pushed out of the flat after three years of renting because they refused to add a six-month break clause while renewing the contract, as we had done in previous occasions, and instead they asked for a 12-month break clause. Obviously, they then put the property in the market for £175 more a month, an increase that they could have not put forward with me as a tenant. Second, they kept £350 from my deposit for cleaning a one-bedroom flat that was already cleaned. They were intransigent, rude, aggressive, and acted like thugs. The goverment should really keep an eye on how estate agents such a Martin & Co in its Bournemouth branch operate.

Lorena · 12 November 2024

Agent replied · 3 December 2024

Dear Lorena, why are we the worst estate agents when you have refused to adhere to the agreed renewal terms of your tenancy? You agreed terms and then refused to sign the tenancy agreement? Is the Landlord not important to you ? The Landlord is a human being just like you who has worked hard to purchase the property and pays a mortgage. We were nothing but exceptionally good in handling all your problems for the past 3 years, up until you moved out recently. You and your pet cat have moved in a property cleaned to the highest of standards, why don’t you expect for the landlord to require the property is delivered back in the same condition as it was originally delivered to you? Why did you not clean the property before you moved out? You made all sort of excuses. We even negotiated a reduction in the costs with the cleaning company and you apologised for the state you left the property in. These are all documented in your emails, check-in and check-out reports? Your comments about us being rude and aggressive is unacceptable, we deducted only the full costs of cleaning the property back to the level it was delivered to you in the first place. You state we are intransigent but you only just moved out on the 1st of the month and we have agreed terms 7 days later and you have your deposit balance being returned as we speak. Please rest assure we adhere to all estate agents governing rules. We win awards as a top level company in Bournemouth and our attention to detail is perhaps something you wish for us to overlook. It is a shame that you did not put yourself not even for a second in the Landlord’s shoes. Perhaps a lesson learnt!

Just rented a flat from Martin and co in Bournemouth and they helped make the whole thing much easier. Holly was very lovely and worked hard to get viewings to suit my schedule and Mike was very friendly and helpful when it came to handing over the keys - unfortunately once I moved in my experience changed. They started being useless at getting back to me and I've had to chase them on numerous occasions. I also feel charging £24 referencing fee for effectively 20 mins work is disgusting, especially after already paying a substantial amount to a new estate agents in order to move. It was even more frustrating having to pay the fee after learning that the new estate agents don't charge their tenants and it appears that different branches of Martin and Co also don't charge a referencing fee. Furthermore, I was shocked to see such differences in charges between branches of Martin and Co with Bournemouth charging significantly more. This has definitely put me off ever dealing with them again in the future.

Lucy · 29 July 2019

Agent replied

Dear Lucy, We regret that you feel like this, however we are not a licensed referencing brokers, and like all letting agents, we have to refer all referencing to an outside source whose charges are passed on to the tenants. You will find that all Martin&Co branches charge similar costs, price differences are due to the variations in the referencing companies pricing. With our referencing fees the landlord gets all protection against tenancy default and regular information on tenants' change of circumstances. This gives added protection to all parties. We have checked our call management system and we could not find any details on your missed calls? Should you wish to discuss this further we welcoming you to drop in for a cup of coffee in our offices, Kind regards Martin&Co Bournemouth Team
