TrustpilotDisgusting company
Disgusting company - had a booking today for a viewing, drove 40 minutes only to find out (from another couple who were there also for a viewing) that it has been cancelled as the owner doesn’t feel well. No one has rang me, contacted me, nothing!! BEN AND LOUIS IN CAMBERLEY - learn how to be professional before you become an estate agent…

TrustpilotThe worst letting agency ever
A very bad company. Avoid Avoid Avoid. They will try to take all of your deposit and claim crazy expenses when you end your tenancy with them. Cutting grass of a small front garden will cost you GBP160 .. can you believe it? they are very nice when you sign the contract and then when you go they show you the bad face. AVOID

TrustpilotTerrible customer service
Terrible customer service, increases in rent year-by-year with no maintenence on property. I've been asked several times for inspections, only to never have the employee turn up and so utterly waste my time.

TrustpilotAwful agents, never renting from them again.
They took over from our old agents, honestly They do naff all. Our wall is covered in damp and we've been trying to contact them to get someone to come sort it since june, it's now October and I've Got a baby due in 3weeks. Now the wall is completely covered, starting to get sick from it and still they say 'theyre sorting it' are they chuff. Absolutely ridiculous.

TrustpilotDisappointed behavior
I called this agency in Liverpool to book a home viewing last week, the appointment was confirmed for the following week and today they called me an hour before the viewingthey told me( also without apology and hastily)"appointment canceled the landlord found the tenant"it's not an honest behavior on your part

TrustpilotDreadful experience
Dreadful experience, was asked to act as a guarantor for a friends student and the process was ridiculous! It is as if you are buying the property not just guaranteeing the rent and we are severely liable for the whole house, an archaic position to be in nowadays. Plenty of other letting agencies now offering independent guarantees for the individual tenant only. Avoid this company!

Emailed and telephoned re flat to let in Scunthorpe, I was told would be in touch with me twice. No communication what so ever and when complained was told several people work in the office, need to send staff on a customer service review. Manager emailed me after reading my review and said don't bother using their company again. Response says it all !!!

TrustpilotStay clear
I have had to come on and have a read of other people experiences with this estate agents as mine was just awful! I see others have had the same issues as me, my holding deposit was taken and property offered to me and my daughters for them to them re advertise the house on their site! Disgusting

TrustpilotAvoid At ALL Costs - Martin & Co
The agency Martin & Co. Canterbury have been an absolute nightmare to deal with - avoid them at all costs if you want peace of mind and a pleasant stay.Their lack of responsiveness, lack of professionalism and lack of follow through is surprising to say the least, and disgraceful to both the landlord they represent and the tenant they should facilitate.

GoogleYour blonde lettings agent is incredibly rude. Blocked my drive and argued with me when I asked her to move. She then went on to park on a double yellow line! Very nasty woman. I will not even consider using this company when I sell.

I’m hesitant giving one star! Roath branch are not only rude, they are incompetent. Clearly need a lot more staff training, no one in the office knew the correct laws or how to deal with customers. Stay clear if you want a happy life

I have already sent an email of complaint to the Folkestone Branch at the rudeness encountered when making a general enquiry. It would have been nice to have received an apology.

TrustpilotDear All
Dear All, they are quite prompt while you are still paying your rent, once you have vacated the property after paying all your due, its very very difficult to close other formalities, e.g: Inventory clearance, Deposit clearance. Chasing them since almost 5 months and they are quoting a number of reasons for the delay, something that I cannot validate nor have a visibility on

TrustpilotBad reviews not allowed apparently
Anyone who leaves a bad review is having them temporarily removed because Martin and co are saying it's the wrong company...... And you still only manage a 2 star rating, what a joke of a comany
Agent replied · 23 August 2024
Hi Carl, We're not removing reviews, we are asking for them to be moved to the correct profile - each office has their own Trustpilot profile where their own reviews are held. All Martin & Co offices are individually owned franchise businesses so it is the business owner who needs to respond to the review. We still monitor all reviews and follow up with the offices concerned. If you would like an issue looked into please head to the relevant local office profile, leave your review and the office owner will come back to you.

I was looking for a company who were wiling to let out my uninhabitable rental property that was totally devoid of certificates for safety re boilers, electrics and had health issues from crumbling interiors and damp And I found them excellent, no questions asked only the fee agreed, I am now looking for further derelict properties I can purchase secure in the knowledge this company can let them

TrustpilotNever use again.
Would never use these again. The letting agents have very little knowledge of the properties they are selling/renting, they attempt to use scare tactics in order to push their way around and bully you into things that are ILLEGAL. Complaints are rarely handled and when they are they’re done so poorly. Unless you want lots of undue stress, I’d recommend using another agent.

TrustpilotPlease avoid!
Please avoid. After 6 years of renting I’ve never encountered so many issues as I did with Martin and co. They have falsified information and are trying to extort money from me and my partner. Unlucky for them I was smart enough to have evidence to dispute it. Please be careful they are thieves and they will do anything to steal your money.
1/5
GoogleI’ve been a landlord for over ten years and this is the worst agent I have ever had to deal with. They won’t communicate at all.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
