Great Customer Service

I'd like to compliment Ellena for the excellent customer service, she has always been extremely helpful and quick to respond to any issues we have had with the house we rent. I have always been pleased with the service I receive at your head office officers last year. However, Ms. Ellena’s professionalism and ability to get to the bottom of the situation quickly exceeded my expectations. Ellena is really assets for your company, all the best for her future.

Always there when we need her

Ellena has been our point of contact at Martyn Gerrard for quite some time now. She has always been extremely helpful and quick to respond to any issues we have had with the house we rent. As tenants with a landlord who lives abroad it is important for us to be able to solve problems quickly and with the minimum of fuss. Ellena not only liaises well with the owner but always takes us and our working lives into consideration too. She was very thorough during our recent inspection and immediately arranged for a glazier to come in and repair a broken rubber seal on a window. This is the first house we have rented in London that is managed by a property management agency, and I have to say that this has made the whole renting process a lot easier! Thank you to Ellena!

Couldn't be better

We have been so lucky when moving house to come into a winning combination of landlord and letting agent. With our landlord's go ahead, Martyn Gerrard have been incredibly proactive in attending to even the smallest need or request that we have had. They have a plethora of working companies who they have contacted to support us in making our move stress-free and our property the best it can be. We are very grateful to them and would recommend them to anyone.

15 years of tenancy in a property managed by Martyn Gerrard

In 15 years I had numerous contacts with the agency. The contacts were usually linked to small or not so small inconveniences which can make life quite difficult. Many contacts mean many names, Emplyees' names. Some are still present, others moved on. The common denominator was professionalism. The problem was always solvable, The solution was always close in time and space. The promise was always kept. The routine check ups were well organised, giving me choice and ample space to find a slot in my diary. I knew, after a short while into the tenancy, that I can get quick, informed and competent advice from Martin Gerard, that I can rely on them and that they will observe my interests. I would suggest the words competence and respect to become part of the agency's logo.

Knowledgable and speedy

When I was looking at flats 18 months ago, the estate agent I spoke to was knowledgable, allowed me to view a number of properties and gave me the space to make my own decision on which flat to rent without pressurising me into a decision. Martin Gerrard is also my Letting Management company. They are very friendly and are always quick to respond to any issues in the flat if and when they arise.

Extremely helpful and efficient

Ellena was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to our messages. She was very efficient in getting one particular incident sorted out (the replacement of an old washing machine), which required communications with various contractors as well as with the landlord. Overall we are extremely satisfied with the level of service provided by Ellena.

Good service

It is so much better to have a designated property manager when you rent. Ellena have always been quick to reply to our emails and to solve the problems that came up in our rented property. Thank Ellena.

Excellent staff

My family came from Japan and we don't know British business culture like how to pay monthly rental fees and so on. But a staff of Martyn Gerrard, Omar Ally, is very kind to us and he gives me quick responses when I ask any questions. He always helps us.
