James, Lucy and the team are the first letting agents I can honestly say I like! None of the smarmy, pushy, aggressive attitudes you find at their competitors, just good honest advice from people who know and love the area. They helped us find the perfect flat, and have always been approachable and friendly if a problem arrises. Thoroughly recommend and would use again!

Thank you Nathan, sadly events have conspired against us and we haven't been able to assist you in the intervening years, but we would be delighted to assist you both with any property matters if we can.

We rented a property with Marin & Co for 3 years, had a few issues with the house and James and Annabel sorted things out very quickly! One of the best agencies we dealt with. Had an easy move in and move out. Very relaxed agency and always willing to help (even after hours) Highly recommend them to any tenant or owner.

Excellent local letting agent

When looking for an agent to let my property, I searched for a local one with good reviews from tenants and found Martin and Co, Crystal Palace. I have only positive comments to add - excellent and timely communication, an approachable and friendly team and a sense of integrity and honesty from them all. I would be happy to recommend this local agent. A bonus for me is their local involvement in the Crystal Palace Film Festival which they have supported for many years!

Absolutely brilliant service from James, Annabel, Lucy, Michael and the whole team. As a landlord burned by the incompetencies of Streets Ahead (Crystal Palace) choosing a terrible tenant with no accountability, the team at Martin & Co quickly stepped in to not only choose a great, professional tenant, but manage the property efficiently without any stress! Thanks for all your help!

Martin&Co helped us during the purchase of our first flat. James was an excellent communicator, always making sure we were kept in the loop regardless of whether there was anything to update. Really helped move the process along when things slowed down. Would definitely recommend and use again!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

James and Lucy are a new breed of estate agents who seem to understand that customer service and peace of mind go hand in glove. I have nothing but praise for everything they have done while letting my property over the last 2 years. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. I would strongly recommend them.

James and Michael at Martin and Co. Crystal Palace were incredibly helpful in assisting us in the purchase of our flat, always on the other end of the phone to deal with queries when needed. Overall a pleasure to deal with and we will certainly consider them when we are in the market again!

I endorse the positive reviews below. James was the agent for the house we recently bought. The seller was uncommunicative and volatile, making the sale tricky. Meanwhile, James was calm, clear and reassuring throughout. Completely different to the usual experience of the selling agent when you are buying. Thanks Martin & Co!

Martin & Co Crystal Palace team is extremely efficient. Their dedication to providing the best customer service is incredible. I have known them for 12 years. They found tenants within two weeks. They keep you informed, and they are super organized dealing with the administrative side of things, e.g. inventories, gas check, references, etc. Not only are they very good with the technical part of the rental process, but also, they are honest and caring people. They are very good at communicating and ready to help. I highly recommend Martin & Co Crystal Palace to anyone looking for a smooth and positive experience on the rental market both Landlord or Tenant.

James, Lucy, and the team at Martin & Co managed my property letting for 6 years. During that time they continuously proved to be reliable, communicative, and full of integrity. I'm deeply satisfied that I chose them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to other landlords.

Thank you so much Jennifer. We are very glad you choose us all those years ago and are happy you are too!

Fantastic estate agent.Both James and Annabel were a pleasure to deal with. I let 2 properties with them in the space of a month and they made the whole process so easy. They went above and beyond to help get everything sorted and were super-efficient. I would definitely recommend.

Martin & Co. made my landlord journey very smooth, when arranging a new tenancy. Annabel was very experienced and organised everything without any drama. My tenants were happy too

The team are utterly fabulous. They contact you with any issues, provide quotes, are utterly reasonable with suggestions of what actually needs doing and manage properties to an excellent standard. They have gone above and beyond on numerous occasions with difficult situations involving other tenants in the same block and never fail to keep you informed as a landlord. I couldn’t hope for a better management team!!!

We were so happy to have Martin & Co facilitating the sale on the side of the seller. They pushed solicitors when needed and were really proactive when it came to communicating important info. We were very lucky with our seller and the lack of chain - but ultimately we went from choosing the property to moving in within 10-11 weeks.. really couldn’t be happier. Thanks so much for your help!

I went to view a property on 10/6/22 and estate agent, Michael, would not let me view the property due to being 10minutes late for the appointment. He had not told me that I had 10mins to view the property and having told him that I'd travelled far he still asked me to rearrange to another date. I found this rude and not accommodating, especially because he had not said that I'd only have 10minutes to view the property. My reviews therefore are not views of the property but of Michael, whom I found to be quite rude and unhelpful.

Winston · 13 July 2022

Agent replied

Sorry you had a negative experience Winston. Sometimes our agents have tight diaries and we can't impact everyone else in the diary because one person is running late. Well, we could, but it wouldn't be fair to everyone else that was on time. Sometimes we can, and will, wait for people, but it wasn't possible on that day I'm afraid. Not sure we deserve a 1 star review because you were late though.

We recently sold our flat in Crystal Palace via Martin & Co and had a great experience. James and Michael were really helpful, knowledgeable and prepared to go the extra mile in making our sale go through promptly and smoothly. Highly recommended.

We bought a flat through Martin & Co earlier this year and found James and team to be really helpful, communicative and professional. The process was smooth and efficient thanks in large part to Martin & Co. I wouldn’t hesitate to deal with them again in the future.

Best agency I have had experience with. James was extremely helpful and no job was too big or too small. I was never hesitant to drop him an email or ring him when I had an enquiries and even after my contract had finished he was still a major help. Would definitely recommend Martin & Co Crystal Palace to anybody in search for a great agency with a hands on and friendly approach. I know that if I am ever back in that area, they will be the first estate agents I ring. Thank you for everything!
