GoogleSome of the property management agents at Martin & Co are polite and respectful. They respond quickly and answer questions promptly. I would like to give my thanks to Emily.
I had a difficult experience when I was locked into my apartment on a particularly hot day, called the emergency line and then had to call a locksmith. No one answered the emergency line after sending a text and leaving voicemails. They didn’t even believe the lock had an issue until their locksmith came. I was left with a bill of £180 and was promised my the agent that I would be refunded. This never happened. Worst experience ever.

Thank you for your post particularly to our valued Property Manager, Emily.
Regarding your issue with the apartment lock. We have discussed with our Rep (representative). It would seem your recall of our visit to assist is factually incorrect.
The Sunday morning you called our Rep, he was on another maintenance visit. Our maintenance emergency number is checked periodically. In the event, our Rep arrived at your apartment approximately 11.20am; he drove to our Angel Hill office to pick up the apartment management key and was able to unlock the door straight away with this key. His attendance was before your instructed locksmith arrived. You had advised you had contacted a locksmith who had quoted you £49.00 for the call out.
On attending at your apartment, our Rep called the locksmith (you had given him the number). The locksmith replied he was ten minutes away from Bury St Edmunds, as travelling from Ipswich.
Our Rep waited to meet the locksmith. The locksmith reported there was not an issue with the lock but it had been double locked.
Our Rep asked the locksmith to confirm the call out charge. He had carried out some work by unscrewing the lock and reported it was in working order. The locksmith quoted £165.00 which our Rep stated you would have to pay. Our Rep did request you send the receipt to our office to advise landlord. It was not mentioned at any point that landlord would reimburse the charge. Subsequently, our landlord’s instruction was the payment was your responsibility. You paid the locksmith £180 which was a £15 increase from the amount agreed when our Rep was present.
Approximately 3 weeks later you called our maintenance number again, as you had locked yourself out again on a weekday evening at 8.00pm. Our same Rep again drove to our Angel Hill office to collect the key and arrived at your apartment for 8.20pm to give you access.
This was the second time you had locked yourself out, not including the Sunday morning call out when you had double locked yourself in.
Martin & Co are not an emergency service but we do try to provide a personal maintenance response service subject to availability and resources.

GoogleI had an excellent experience selling my house with this estate agent. From the initial valuation through to completion, everything was handled smoothly, efficiently, and with a high level of professionalism.
The team kept me informed throughout the process, were always available to answer any questions, and made what can often be a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. I felt genuinely well looked after from start to finish.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.
A special mention has to go to Justine Hoy, who was absolutely outstanding throughout the sale of my house. She was always kind, helpful, professional, and incredibly supportive from start to finish.
I have sold other properties with Justine in the past, and her service has always been exceptional. She goes above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, keeping you informed every step of the way and always being available to help with any questions or concerns.
Having worked with several estate agents over the years, I can honestly say that Justine is the person I would choose every time. Her experience, dedication, and genuine care for her clients set her apart. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

GoogleWe’ve recently rented our new home through Martin & Co Bury St Edmunds. Casey was friendly when he showed us around the property and was particularly helpful in pointing out how straightforward it should be to get full fibre broadband installed, which was really useful to know.
Since then, I’ve been particularly impressed with the support from the wider team. Emily was incredibly helpful in getting a quick answer from our landlord when we needed permission for the broadband installation, and Liz and Isobel have both been really responsive with the move-in admin, inventory and the few queries we’ve had since moving in.
Communication has been friendly, prompt and helpful throughout, and it has made settling into our new home that bit easier. Thank you to everyone involved.

GoogleWe couldn't be happier with the service we received. Charlotte was fantastic from the very beginning. She showed us the property and helped us secure our offer, making the whole process smooth and stress free.
From that point onwards, Justine was exceptional. She supported us every step of the way until the day we received our keys. Her level of service was truly outstanding. She was always proactive, kept us informed throughout the process, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything progressed as smoothly as possible. The professionalism, dedication, and care we received were impeccable. Without question, this has been the best experience we've ever had when buying a property. We are incredibly grateful for everything Justine did for us and can't thank her enough.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI have now used Martin & Co both as a tenant and as a seller, and on both occasions the service has been outstanding.
When I rented through Martin & Co in 2022, I was approaching the private rental market in difficult personal circumstances and found the team incredibly understanding and helpful. The property itself was older and had a number of issues during the tenancy, but every problem was dealt with quickly and efficiently, without me ever having to chase.
More recently, Martin & Co have managed the sale of my house, which has been a long, stressful and at times complicated process. Once again, the service has been exceptional. Communication has been excellent throughout, I have always been kept informed, and the team have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep things moving.
In particular, Justine has been outstanding. She combines professionalism, persistence and efficiency with genuine warmth and kindness. She has spent countless hours chasing solicitors, buyers and others in the chain, keeping me updated and helping to resolve issues. At times it felt as though she was providing equal parts estate agency and therapy, and I mean that as a genuine compliment.
It is rare to encounter a business that delivers such consistently excellent service across different circumstances and over a number of years. I would wholeheartedly recommend Martin & Co.

GoogleFrom the very beginning, Charlotte was wonderful at the property viewing, making us feel genuinely welcome and at ease. She took the time to answer our questions and helped create such a positive first experience.
Justine at Martin & Co was truly exceptional and made what can be an emotional and stressful journey feel supported every step of the way. She wasn’t just informative and professional, she was incredibly kind, patient, and emotionally supportive. Justine always took the time to reassure us, explain things clearly, and check in when things felt overwhelming.

GoogleWe’ve completed the purchase of our new home through Martin & Co, and I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough, especially Charlotte Hopwood, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process.
From the very beginning, Charlotte was friendly, professional, approachable and incredibly responsive. Buying a house can be stressful at the best of times, and our purchase had its fair share of complications, changing timelines and plenty of communication between solicitors, ourselves and the seller. Charlotte was always there to help, chase things up, provide updates and keep communication moving between everyone involved.
What we appreciated most was that we always felt we could contact her and get a clear, helpful response. We were first time buyers, and it had its own complications and confusions. She was patient with all of our questions and concerns, understood how important the timescales were for us, and genuinely seemed invested in helping us get the purchase across the line.
After months of emails, phone calls and waiting, getting the keys to our new home was an amazing feeling, and Charlotte played a big part in making the whole journey a positive one.
A huge thanks to Charlotte and the team at Martin & Co. for all their help. We would happily recommend them to anyone buying or selling a property in Bury St Edmunds.
Five stars without hesitation!

Since we were also first time buyers, we were pretty new to the entire property market. But from securing the offer to the completion the whole process went so smoothly.
The property purchase was completed within a short time because of her excellent coordination.
Would genuinely suggest her to all our friends who plan to get a house in this area.
