TrustpilotAN UTTER NIGHTMARE
AN UTTER NIGHTMARE! Dishonest, unhelpful and unresponsive. Will lie through their teeth, never meet promised deadlines. Cause huge amounts of unnecessary stress. Avoid this company at all costs! NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE THEM!

TrustpilotWe rented from Martin and Co in Leeds
We rented from Martin and Co in Leeds. Initially the process was great but when the property had problems they did not want to know. They even hid details in the contract, in regards to electricity suppliers that caused us issues in the long run.

TrustpilotBeware beware beware
Beware beware beware We left the property last month Crewe due to end of contract after two year and we cleaned the property hiring outside help however they deducted most of deposit. Customer service is horrendous and the employees don't bother nor respect for tenants. once the money being paid then they don't care. PLEASE AVOID THEM

Honestly surprised at some of the reviews here. I've had an great experience with Martin & Co compared to other estate agents in the area. Very friendly staff always answering my questions and happy to help. Great customer service keeping in contact with me via the phone and not completely spamming my emails.Very good service.

GoogleStill wating for the repayment of my deposit, three months after leaving the property. They aren´t responding to my emails, and when they have done it has been very rudely and unpolitely. I think they stop caring as soon as you stop paying rent to their landlords.

TrustpilotVery Bad experience.
Very Bad experience.They will be never available to help any issues with the house. After multiple followup's they will help to resolve the issues. (Minimum 2 weeks time to Maximum 6 months).
Hi Rakesh, sorry to see that you've not been happy with the service received from your local Martin & Co office. Our offices always try to resolve any problems at the property as quickly as possible but unfortunately are often held up by issues out of their control as also have to liaise with the Landlord and contractors. We're unable to comment on individual cases as don't hold the full details here at Head Office, but if you'd like us to investigate just update your review with the name of the office you have been using. Kind regards, Martin & Co (UK)

TrustpilotCompletely incompetent and poor service
Even from the very beginning, they were completely incompetent. Showing up late for the viewing and not know what comes with the flat. They have continued to be utterly useless throughout my stay and I dread to think what will happen when I decide to leave. Communication is poor, service is even worse, and employees seem clueless.Avoid them is my only recommendation.

TrustpilotFirst impression
we had our first viewing with their estate agents who were able to answer most of our questions during the viewing. Any follow up questions we had were answered by the following day.Overall a pleasant first experience with the team

TrustpilotWouldn’t go with them again
Wouldn’t go with them again. Told me I’d secured a place to rent, sent me the contract without warning me that someone else also had the contract. I went to sign it a few hours later, couldn’t get access, so had to ring, for them to tell me someone else had signed it. Thanks for letting me know.

TrustpilotThey only care for your rent money
They never fix our maintenance issues, I've been waiting over a year for them to send someone out for a single problem, I have more luck directly contacting the landlord to fix things. Avoid these jobsworths at all costs, all they care for is money and that you pay rent on time every month
5/5
GoogleAs a landlord of multiple properties I have used Martin & Co for many years. My experience with them is excellent, Claire, Sarah and Nick are always prompt with marketing and deal with any queries swiftly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends and associates and have done on many occasions. Keep up the good work guys...

Simon at their Castle Donington branch was brilliant, always going above and beyond, very professional and responsive. Would highly recommend selling any house with Martin and Co.

GoogleI've been a tenant with Martin and Co Newport for almost a year now and had nothing but great customer service. Staff are always around to help with questions and issues, and whenever I've had any problems with my flat they have always been solved quickly and efficiently. Always friendly faces in the office too, thank you!

AVOID at all cost. I paid a deposit of £167 pounds for a property in Bradford. They came back and said the reference was unsuccessful. Then I requested my money back and they simply turned down my request. AVOID them by all means and if you must do not pay deposit upfront...

Never go with this company they are shambles taking my holding fee and telling me that because I had problems previously renting a house with them, they won’t let me rent with them because of financial difficulties previously.

TrustpilotVery terrible service
Very terrible service. Unprofessional and rude agents. I traveled 3 hours just to view their apartments, despite sending me a wrong address they did not take responsibility for it.
We're sorry to read this review and take all customer complaints seriously. If you could provide us with more information about the local office you used we'd be happy to look into this for you. You can email us at trustpilot@martinco.com.

Trustpilot5 star
5 starI've just moved to leeds and called into their office for some help finding my way around the city. All the staff couldn't have been more helpful.
Hi Cameron, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're pleased to hear that the Leeds office have been so helpful! We hope you enjoy living in the area.

TrustpilotUnhelpful & lacking knowledge - Leamington Branch
Would not recommend. Unprofessional, uninformed and unresponsive.Takes over a week to receive a reply and even then you're passed from one member of staff to the next, with no-one seeming to have any knowledge on how to help with simple requests. Friends have had similar poor experiences. Will avoid using Martin & Co for future properties.

TrustpilotGreat estate agent to deal with
Hi,As with most people I'm not a huge fan of estate agents but Andrew Dear at Martin and Co was brilliant to deal with. we were the buyers so he wasn't employed by us but we found him to be honest, helpful and very efficient throughout the process. I would really recommend him to both buyers and sellers.Chris
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.
Tell us what you need and we'll put you in touch. Martin and Co hasn't joined The Trusted Agent yet, so we'll pass your enquiry to them or to up to three other top-rated agents near Newport.
