GoogleI have been renting my flat from Martin and co for 3 years now and I am more than happy living there. The flat itself is very nice and suits my needs and my lifestyle. The staff in the office are very friendly, polite and helpful and I have no problem at all with any of them. If I had or have any issues with my flat, I would ring or go and see the girls in the office and speak to Lucy or whoever is in the office at the time. Lucy is very friendly, polite, helpful and is a very nice lady. She has dealt with any maintenance issues I may have had and deals with them promptly and efficiently and I have had no problems with her at all. I have recently renewed my tenancy agreement with Martin and co and plan to stay with them for the immediate future as they have been very good letting agents to me π

GoogleWorst possible company!!! They never answer and we had poo running down our dining wall area at least 5 times and they just PAINTED the poo over!!! Always ignore you unless you say that this will go to council! We could not use shower or bathroom for more than a month!!! Inhumane conditions! Mold in every corner that was at first cleaned up and hidden. Holes in the walls and doors!! Never warm in winter! Jo hot water ! The radiators not funcioning! Lights not working, the oven was not working!!! And the walls cracking All over the place! Everything was broken and when they let you have a look the place looks not that bad but when you move in everything started to fall apart, the humiliation Δ― felt to ask multiple time to use friends bathrooms , pee in the garden!!! Never use them!!!

GoogleI dealt with Sophie at the Newark branch. I can say she has been really helpful in finding me a property to rent. Due to unforseen circumstances and a difficult time I had to pull out of my first tenancy and Sophie pulled out all the stops to help me find the right property within a very tight timescale. Brilliant customer service. Thanks Sophie π

GoogleI confidently put my property in the professional and competent hands of Martin & Co Newark. Callum does an excellent job when searching for new property to buy and Alina is at the moment letting a house for me and as she has in the past, informs me straight away of any progress and quickly solves problems. All of the staff I have encountered are smart, intelligent, helpful and communicative.

GoogleI HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL THE REVIEWS AND I COMPLETELY AGREE ON THE FOLLOWING THINGS:
WORST LETTING AGENTS THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED TILL DATE
1- THEY ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL WHEN IT COMES TO ACKNOWLEDGING OR RESPONDING TO EMAIL, I HAVE TRAILS OF EMAILS WHERE IN THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY RESPONDED WEEKS LATER AND SOMETIMES EVEN MONTHS LATER.
2- THEY WILL SHREWEDLY TAKE AWAY A BIT CHUNK OF YOUR DEPOSIT (SOMETIME THE WHOLE AND EVEN SOME MORE), I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY SOME TO HAVE TAKEN THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT, I NEEDED THE MONEY URGENTLY SO I DID NOT BUT DONT BE BULLIED BY THEM AND IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN MASSIVELY OVERCHARGED, PLEASE TAKE THAT ROUTE YOU WILL NOT COME OUT BAD.
3- THEY HAVE MENTIONED "UNFORTUNATELY THEY WILL NOT ABLE TO USE THE CONTRACTOR WE HAD REQUESTED", IT IS NOT IN THEIR RIGHTS TO DECIDE WHICH CONTRACTOR THEY CAN GO WITH. ITS ALL A MONEY MAKING BUSINESS. I HAVE A PROOF OF THEIR QUOTATION AND CAN TRAIL BACK WITH THE ACCOUNTS TEAM OF THE CLEANING COMPANY TO CHECK WHAT AMOUNT THEY HAVE RECEIVED AND DIG DEEP, WHICH I WILL BE DOING.
4- AFTER THE FINAL CHECK, WE WERE TOLD ABOUT 3 THINGS FOR WHICH THE DEPOSIT WILL BE USED BUT THEN WHEN THE QUOTATION ARRIVED IT INCLUDED MANY MORE. ITS A SHAME WHAT THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHER'S RESOURCES. BAD GOVERNANCE AND NOT BEING BONAFIDE.
5- THEY ALSO CHARGED US FOR EXTRA RENT FOR A DAY. WE GAVE THEM ONE MONTHS NOTICE ON THE 8TH NOV STAYING WE WILL LEAVE ON THE 15TH DEC. BECAUSE 15 TO 15 WAS OUR PAY CYCLE. INSTEAD WE SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN 14TH DEC. THEY CHARGED US FOR 15TH WHEN IN REALITY WE HANDED OVER THE KEYS TO THEM ON THE 13TH ITSELF. WE ONLY HAD AN OPTION TO INCREASE OUR CONTRACT BY 6 OR 12 MONTHS BUT THEY JUST TOOK THAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET 16GBP FOR FREE. IT ABSOLUTELY MAKES NO SENSE. SOPHIE WAS RUDE AND FULL OF FALSE PRIDE ON THE CALL.
FINALLY, BE VERY CAREFUL. WE GOT TO KNOW FROM THE MARKET THAT THEY HAVE A BAD REPUTATION AND OFTEN REFERRED TO AS COWBOYS.
I DONT WANT TO NAME ANYMORE, BUT THE WHOLE TEAM WAS A NIGHTMARE. THEY WILL IGNORE YOU AND ONLY RESPOND WHEN ITS FOR THEIR BENEFIT.
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.
GET IT CLEANED YOURSELF OR SOME AGENCY BUT DONT GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOT YOU.
THEY TOOK 222GBP FOR CLEANING FROM US, WHICH WAS REDICULOUS.
IN A YEARS TIME THAT TOO JUST IMAGINE WOULD THE OWNER PAY THAT MUCH FOR CLEANING IF HE USED HIS OWN PROPERTY.
THEIR CONCEPT OF WEAR AND TEAR IS BROKEN AND NEED THE FLAT JUST AS BRAND NEW. JOKE.
THIAGO WAS THE ONLY HOPE, ATLEAST HE RESPONDED TO MAILS AND CALLS.

GoogleI have recently rented a property through Martin & co Newark and I would just like to say how fantastic and helpful all the staff were. It's all too easy to leave bad reviews these days so thought I would change that after such great service. A big thank you to Lucy who managed to get a maintenance issue sorted.
Thank you guys.

GoogleI currently rent a property through these and would not recommend!! the lady who did the viewing had no knowledge of the property and was unable to answer any questions, unfortunately i was not in a position to shop around, took the property and had to pay a "moving in moving out fee" no other agent charges this as i checked but they told me everyone did so they lied to justify a fabricated fee, i then had to go to the office to collect the keys even though i paid that fee. They did not tell us how the boiler, water heater worked and said they would charge us for them to come out to show us. Shocking service. Shame there is no minus option on the stars. DATE. 11.07.19. Forgot to show up for an inspection that was booked form AM as my partner works nights, she stayed awake till 11.45 to then receive a call saying your sorry you forgot. I'll accept my Β£25.00 fee via transfer or cash, that's what you said you'd charge us if we forgot or cancelled, only fair we get it for your incompetence .

Your review is unfair and inaccurate. The team have worked tirelessly to help you and never lied. Please contact the office and they will, I am sure, be able to explain the process and put your mind at rest.
