TrustpilotVery poor service
I am a landlord. Unfortunately, this company are involved inthe management of the flats that I let. I have had many problems with their accounts of my service charge and Martyn Gerrard have made many errors. Mr Wai Lee has been particularly rude and threatening in his emails he has sent me. This year they have made yet another mistake in my service charge account for 2025and immediately threatened me with court action when the error was their fault entirely.

Communication was clear and timely, and she is always available to answer our questions or address any concerns. I truly felt supported every step of the way and appreciates her input. I highly recommend Martin Gerrard and the service provided by Maria. It was a pleasure working with them.

TrustpilotThe most ethical agents and advance advertisement
The whole team had been not only very respectful but also professional and very ethical. Specially Jatin and Scott I had the most interaction with. Jatin took his time to understand our goal and position so they can market our property better, in a pragmatic way but still being sensitive to our objective and expectations. The advertisement of our property was the best one with 3D floor plan. And he also suggested some good points around the property to present it better. Thank you for all your work. Yameen and family

TrustpilotCraig Thompkins and his team were brilliant
Craig Thompkins and his team were absolutely amazing during our house sale. A simple sale turned into a nightmare as a result of the other solicitors. This caused us a great deal of stress. Without Craig on the other end of the phone, I and my wife, especially, would not have been able to get through. He was always available to answer calls and questions. He assisted in chasing the other side and placing pressure in the right way at the right time on the right parties to ensure we achieved our deadline to exchange and complete. He is extremely professional as well as empathetic and understanding. When he was personally not available, a member of his team was always on hand. I cannot thank and praise Craig highly enough. He definitely deserves a huge recognition. If you need your property sold, or if you are looking to buy then Craig is your man. He will not stop until the deal is done!

I have just completed on the sale of my house which turned out to be complicated no fault of the agents. I found the team at Martyn Gerrard professional and respectful throughout the whole process beginning with Amanda who valued my home, providing good advice and giving me confidence to market the property when I believed it was depressed. Thank you Amanda.I especially want to thank Umit, who worked tirelessly throughout negotiating viewings and then providing excellent communication throughout the whole process of the sale. Umit is dedicated and has outstanding customer service skills; (in fact the whole team have excellent customer service skills) which goes along way through a stressful process.I would definitely recommend this estate agents for any customers thinking of buying and selling.Thank you Martyn Gerrard!

TrustpilotFantastic estate agents
I cannot praise the team at Martyn Gerrard high enough. Bruvis, Jamie and Alex were great from the start. Their communication is excellent, keeping me updated throughout the process. Jamie and Alex did the viewings for me and were always on time and respectful. Once the property went under offer Bruvis took over. He has communicated with me regularly and kept me up to date. He even took it upon himself to speak on several occasions to other estate agents and solicitors in the chain to find out the status of the sale. I couldn't have used a nicer group of people. They've all been so friendly. It's been a pleasure selling my home through them and I don't hesitate to recommend them.

I had an excellent experience with Martin Gerrard, particularly with Lynsey at the Finchley Central branch. From the moment I inquired about finding a property to rent, Lynsey was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional. She made every effort to ensure my needs were met and communicated efficiently with both myself and the landlord. Lynsey’s dedication to helping me secure a property as quickly as possible was truly impressive, and her attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Martin Gerrard for their outstanding service and professionalism.

TrustpilotBlock Management: A Brick Wall of Inefficiency
The block management team and its leader are unfortunately doing a disservice to the company's reputation. With a significant number of homeowners already trusting their services for buying, selling, letting, and referrals, this block management team has the potential to cultivate a loyal customer base for years to come. it is imperative that they provide exceptional service.However, this team has fallen short in several key areas. Responses to inquiries have been consistently delayed, and when they do arrive, the reports lack essential details. There is a glaring absence of cost comparisons and clear explanations regarding how work will be carried out.It is essential that block management services prioritize transparency and open, timely communication with homeowners. The current performance of this team is unacceptable and needs to be addressed urgently.We can’t share specific details right now because we’re still hoping to work together. But it’s not just one or two isolated problems. A good company needs to keep a close eye on its employees, no matter how high up they are.Remember, clients in block management are long-term partners. They can bring in multiple transactions over time, making them much more valuable than one-time buyers, sellers, or renters.Investing in keeping your block management clients happy is a much smarter strategy for long-term success.Here are some things that could help:Regular meetings: Bosses should meet with clients in person.Check emails and reports: Make sure they’re done on time and are good quality.Ask for feedback: Hire an outside company to survey clients.Talk to people who leave: When clients stop working with you, ask them why.These things can help you keep your current clients and attract new ones.

Thank you for letting us know about your experience with our Block Management team. We are sorry you have had issues with them. It is certainly not the level of service we want to provide.It would be great if you could give us more details, such as the block your comments relate to, so we can address the issues you raise. For example, we are unsure what specific reports you refer to. The documentation we supply is in a standard format required by legislation. We are dealing with ongoing works at many different buildings, so if you can give us more detail it will help us understand how we can better present information and improve on communications with lessees.

GoogleIn reality, this branch knows nothing about humanity and only cares about money.
I live above this branch and had just been discharged from the hospital due to gastrointestinal problems, gastritis, and severe acidic stomach inflammation. I had lost my key at the hospital and was waiting outside my door, in a very bad condition with severe stomach pain and gastrointestinal issues, spending 24 hours outside while the landlord and the landlord’s agent were on holiday.
In short, I had to call a locksmith to open the door. He parked his car in the parking lot, and these people took a photo of his car. He was fined £100, and later I was forced to pay £100 as well.
Humanity is dead. I pray to God that karma falls upon this person, and I will never forgive them for this injustice.
In fact, when I asked this branch to have the car moved, I entered the branch. They verbally abused me, almost attacked me, and their body language and behavior were threatening and hostile. In the incident, they exploited my illness.

TrustpilotSaddened by this service
I had had one valuation already of 535000 from another estate agent who sat down with me and discussed selling points, anything I had to tell him about my flat etc. He was very polite and focused on what was good about my property. Martin Gerard on the other hand, despite evaluating the same property type on my very same road at 535000, told me my flat was worth 500000, despite at least three rooms being significantly larger than the one they valued at 535000. They had had many viewings for the neighbour’s property and feedback was around the smaller sized rooms. Common sense prevailing, I would have thought my flat could have the same audience - and offer the larger sized rooms. There was no real interest in my home and in fact more questions were asked about the flat above me, that they were very excited about ! The process of a valuation can be quite personal - you are entering people’s homes and making comment, please consider people better and be consistent in your pricing of properties.

Maria, thank you for your feedback. It's crucial for us to identify moments when we haven't met the high standards, we set for ourselves. We will take your points into consideration.You will know that putting a price on a property is not an exact science and will depend on many factors and everyone will have their own opinions. We did not want to mislead by overestimating an eventual sale price. Our advice was with the best intentions and as we explained on the appointment, we would like to ask for a higher figure to test the market as our extensive marketing strategies have shown we achieve good prices for our clients. Thank you again for your feedback

TrustpilotService Charge errors and overstatement
Martyn Gerrard manages our small estate of seven properties. The 2025 expenses for service charge were incorrectly overstated to the homeowners by c40%. The 2026 service charges were then increased by more than 25% on the basis of the misstated cost of 2025.
Having requested this be rectified and corrected, with new invoices issued, we are still waiting.
Bin collection services and insurance have been cut off while we wait for corrected service charges. MG is actively disruptive and careless of their responsibility.

TrustpilotAbsolutely disgusting customer service
Absolutely disgusting customer service. Received increase in rent from our tenants as agreed with us for the last 5 months and instead of paying to the landlord, have pocketed for themselves. Avoid avoid avoid!!!!An increased rent was agreed as guaranteed rent at the beginning of the year. Martyn Gerrard have everything in writing and evidence of previous payments . They now refuse to pay us this sum on the basis they do not have a signed contract to this effect. The reason there is no signed contract is because we have awaited a draft since January and have chased this on numerous occasions and it was not provided, and every month we were fobbed off and told we would receive the draft by the following month. No draft ever came. Mrtyn Gerrard also agreed with us as per previous emails in April that they would backdate us for the increased amount, and instead of doing so, they now want to pocket the extra money they have received for a period of 5 months from the tenant. The fact that they have lost all the paperwork as they say do not have a further signed contract despite us chasing for a draft version on numerous occasions since January is of no relevance. They have received the increase in rent and it is an implied term of the rolling contract those monies should be returned to us.
