GoogleVery poor service, particularly by a guy called James. The staff are very dismissive in general. I sent a complaint through the post and it magically "appeared" only after I emailed the manager asking if it had arrived. The absolutely crazy fees show just how money-grabbing this company really are. Would never rent with them, definitely one to avoid.

GoogleTerribly unorganized and really not friendly on the phone. I was waiting at the place to view a property when i was told my viewing will be cancelled because the agent being late and he will go straight to see the next scheduled appointment. Later, before the rescheduled viewing, it was cancelled again in a rather unfriendly way.

GoogleI tried this agency in Wolverhampton, and i have to say I have never had such horrible service in my life. First they took first months rent twice, then it took about 4-5 months to get it back. I wonder how on earth they become no 1 letting agency in UK. I would suggest never use their service.

GoogleThe woman I talked to on the phone was unhelpful and her tone gave the impression that she couldn't care less about what she was doing. I got the impression that she was trying to put me off the properties I was inquiring about. Overall, it was a terrible service and I wouldn't hurry to contact them again!

GoogleEmailed, left voicemails, must have called like 20 times over 2 days trying to get in touch and not once did anyone pick up the phone. Haven't had an email reply or a call back. Super frustrating.

GoogleAWFUL! When you do get a reply, and that is rare, they will send you a video on whatsapp without any introduction/hello/information on what it is.
When you ask for more info they simply reply 'no'- Worst customer service I have experienced from a lettings agent and that is quite hard!
Avoid

GoogleWouldn't even bother calling, only one woman seems to work there and she is so stressed out by the number of phone calls and emails coming through. Another minimum wage employee being exploited by a company

GoogleI have used this company for several years to fully manage my properties. I found out they were charging me for unnecessary work. They were defensive and unopologettic when challenged. The Dont use these deceitful crooks.

GoogleI've edited this review because Julie contacted me to acknowledge by comments, which was, in fairness, very professional and very much appreciated from my side. But overall, I did unfortunately have a fairly negative experience with Martin & Co. The extra star is for how the leaving process was handled and the follow-up call.

GoogleThis branch of Martin & Co have been managing the rental of our apartment in Manchester since 2007, so for 8 years now. Initially they were just starting up and didn't get things right all the time, despite being keen and hardworking. However, now that they are established and have sufficient experienced and very capable staff, they are brilliant!

GoogleI’m giving you 1 because I can’t give you 0!
I tried to call many times, no answers. Once, we finally was at the phone, and the agent cut the call. They don’t want to rent or sell the house. No email replay. Nothing.

GoogleMaybe the worst agency In manchester.
I called many times the agency, but nobody answers.
After 2 days finally answers me, but the attitudes so bad.
I viewed an apartment, After 2 days they told me is not available,l. Why you show me the apartment if is not available ? Only waste time

GoogleI run a Chartered Accountants office in Manchester city centre. I have used Martin & Co in Manchester for both myself and my clients. I have found them to be highly professional. My clients are very satisfied with the level of service received. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any other client.

GoogleThe worst and most disrespectful agency I have ever seen, they don't respond the calls and emails and in case of any criticism they (Mark) write back with outrage!
after seeing the comments here and experiencing them myself decided to stay away from them!NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleSo far, so good.
This was the first time moving for me, and I was helped along the journey. This is coming to the end of my first week of renting the property and no problems to this date.
I cannot compare this to anyone else, but I can't complain either!
Thanks Martin&Co

GoogleBasically called the agency regarding a property, been told that they only need someone who could move in within next 7-10 days, then hang up.
The person on the phone was very rude, did not even let me finish my words. Very unprofessional service.
Would give them negative feedback if I could.

GoogleTerrible service. They booked a viewing with us and we travelled from the outside of Manchester to be here. They called us 5 minutes before the viewing to cancel it and just said they couldn't do anything about it and if I wanted to change the time. Not even an apology.

GoogleThey are not good at all; some staff can be rude when you have a problem with the rent property and they really don't care once the contract has been signed. In my opinion, the team could be relatively young and require professional training in both property knowledge and customer service.

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.
