Was really interested in a property viewing, emailed 2x, rang 3x, no answer whatsoever. Filled out the questionnaire, no answer. When you try ring, you get passed to an AI agent who can’t help, so I ask for a human, upon that request, I get hung up on.

TrustpilotUninterested in the Tenant - Landlords allowed to neglect property
We rented a property from Martin and Co in Prestwich.They never ever confronted the owner of the state of the property. Our property in Pine Avenue Whitefield was in a state of disrepair and even though problems were reported, they were never fixed.They let the owner wait 5 months until we left to action any repairs.The owner was allowed to neglect the property and allow the outside of the house to fall apart literally.Martin and Co were "afraid" to confront the owner instead raising issues when we left the property.Gates and fences were covered in nails and shoddy repair. The owner allowed herself to continually come check on the property, without notifying us, and would "knock on" to check the state of the house herself.

TrustpilotThe worst estate agent ever, avoid at all costs even if you really like the property!!
Where to start...Martin & Co London Bridge were impossible to deal with during our 1.5 year tenancy, I really don't know how they are a company as they are so hopeless and completely dysfunctional. I understand this branch is now longer part of Martin & Co and is now trading as DA Property, perhaps partly due to the issues we experienced.We had numerous issues when we moved in: a toilet that wouldn't flush properly, a shower that couldn't change temperature, a leaking kitchen sink etc. It took a lot of chasing and two months for all issues to be fixed. The boiler then broke down and we spent 3 weeks in February with no heating or hot water and again it took a lot of chasing on our part for anything to be done. We also had a broken oven for a month at one point. Whenever we had problems, we would call the office and be directed to a central call centre who assured us that our issue had been marked as urgent and someone from the internal maintenance team would call us back, but that never happened once. We also had the mobile number of the Director of the London Bridge office, but he would ignore phone calls, WhatsApps and emails. I also tried to visit their office in person on several occasions, but never found anyone present. And after everything, they took a cleaning and maintenance charge from our deposit.It was truly excruciating trying to get anything done and we're glad we will never have to deal with Martin & Co / DA Property again. Avoid at all costs, even if you really like the property!

GoogleSwift, and simple experience in being a Guarantor. Some of the processes could be simplified for the students who are often experiencing arranging a let for the first time, but they were responsive to questions and helped them through, so not at all bad form my perspective.

GoogleThe service I've received from Ruby and Liam at Martin & Co Falmouth has been above and beyond. They have been very proactive at bringing me renting opportunities, and their advice on securing a property has been frank and incisive. Their transparency and openness gives you the sense they are on your side, which has been invaluable during a stressful period of trying to find student accommodation at the last minute.

TrustpilotMartin and Co Westbury
Estate agents are supposed to help you find the dream. In our case it was a small plot of land not far from Salisbury. A call to the office was met with an un-informed assistant who assured us they would call back to answer our questions. They never did. We called again and advised that the relevant person was out for a couple of days, and they knew noting about the plot of land in question. A call back would be their priority as soon as the person who was dealing with it was able to. A call was booked, for few days later - nothing. Taking the initiative, we decided to call the office. The manager who knew about the land was unavailable. Busy.Whatever happened to the call back? The response from the office was un-enthusiastic. They clearly have better things to do than offer a service. Staff were oblivious of the land they were commissioned to offer up in this case, that was the responsibility of the absent staff member, ‘nothing to do with me’. It begs the question how they sell anything at all or can offer any confidence in the company. I wouldn’t sell a house or anything else with them. In my personal view it's badly run by people don’t know what they are doing and certainly have no interest in the client.The comment from Martin and Co proves my point. we viewed a plot of land near Salisbury. We did not say the office was in Salisbury. Martin and Co were selling the land from their office in Westbury.
Hi Jacqui,After looking at your review we believe this might be for another business in Salisbury called: Mills & Co - The Property People.As we don't currently have a branch located in Salisbury.Kind RegardsMartin & Co

GoogleI saw a flat I liked but could not view it as I live abroad. Emily kindly went over there (despite having other serious viewings in a busy market) and took time to thoroughly video the property for me , after asking me for a list of what to focus on for me! Other agents would insist on in person viewings even in covid but Emily and Kirsty were happy to help me as they knew I was a serious buyer. They have been professional and patient through a long , tricky process but we completed on the property today! I will use them again! very happy!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleAfter struggling to find a house in Falmouth and looking for months to no avail, we found one listed by Martin and Co. that we loved. Liam from Martin and Co. promptly booked us in for a viewing. When we met with him he was punctual, professional and had great knowledge of the property. We decided to put in an application on Friday afternoon and by Monday afternoon we were progressing and signing paperwork. Liam was great at communicating clearly and effectively, which made the process really easy. One of the best experiences I’ve had with letting agents!

GoogleWhat a fantastic team! Planning our family move from one end of the country to the other has been a really stressful process but Ruby got us off to a really great start by securing us a fantastic family home and reassuring us about the area/schools etc. Having that local knowledge was really comforting and it felt like a really personal service. Liam was also really attentive as were Madeline and Rebecca. All of them went over and above to ensure we knew what was happening and how long each stage would take. I’ve dealt with a number of letting agents before and these guys are by far the best! Highly recommend.

GoogleThanks to Martin & Co, me and my partner were able to find a property that really suited us with a stress-free process to securing it. Big shout out to Liam who helped us check out properties in the area. His honesty was refreshing and helped us make the right choice amongst our options.

Let me turn up for a viewing. Lied saying they were on their way., Then lied to say it was cancelled and I was notified. Couldn’t prove I was notified or that they even tried. Do not waste your time.

Use the local office to let out my property. The rent has been late on several occasions, I have to chase the Tennant myself, there is zero communication or work being done on their part. The local office is never open and looks abandoned, no one ever answers any of the phone numbers I have. The property has now been up for sale for a few months and I have not once heard from them. If ypu phone the line to 'book a viewing at a property' it rings and rings until it cuts off. There is literally no one to speak to. Worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

TrustpilotMartin & Co - Guarantor issue
My partner and I were through the whole process of renting a flat. Papers were signed at beginning, all information was given when asked. We were told that we'd got the place, and just needed a guarantor - moved back from Australia so they needed extra reassurance, which was fine. The guarantor gave all information needed. Even employer contact information so they could validate. We were set to move in on the 18th May, the day before we had been told we lost the flat as they didn't get a copy of the guarantor's contract of employment. It is no business of theirs to need that, everything else had been shown and was evident that he could pay if needed. We lost the holding fee of 300 pounds, and were given no other option. After trying for hours to get hold of them, none of the calls were getting through, we had to leave it and try to find somewhere to stay.We had to move out our current rental, and had nowhere to go.DO NOT USE THIS AGENT

TrustpilotUnreliable agent
Unreliable & Unprofessional agent everSince before our booking appointment to view this house, we clearly mentioned that we, 4 people, will share the house. We did a tenancy application form, mentioning 4 people will share and then wired holding fees.The Agent was doing reference & bank checking for all of us and got a reply that they have all passed.So, we already confirmed with our current landlord for moving date and also arranged to remove the household, book for moving agencies & deep cleaning service to this current house.1 week before our moving date, Martin & Co sent us a mail that '' I am ever so sorry but we cannot continue with the application because landlord wasn’t aware a license was required for sharers which he doesn’t hold”. I am really surprised that they did all reference check, bank check to all of us without realising the landlord has that license. Can you all imagine how much difficult for us to find a new house within a week? I just want to share my experience to everyone how unreliable this agent is.
5/5
GoogleLooking for a place to live can be quite stressful, especially when renting, but Liam took all that stress away for us. Communication was fantastic from start to finish, he’s friendly, polite and doesn’t ever make you feel like you’re asking too many questions. Everything was dealt with quickly and easily. 100% recommendation for the company and specifically Liam.
