TrustpilotAvoid this agency at all costs
Avoid this agency at all costs. Yeovil Branch. Scam you out of the majority of your deposit return. They ignore all the Landlords failings when you move into the property with a list of faults and deduct pretty much all your deposit on handback with faults (such as mould) that you cannot prevent because of the condition of the room. Appalling treatment and completely unprofessional staff. They just wash their hands of you.

TrustpilotExcellent!!
I used Martin & Co in Dundee to sell my flat, I can't recommend Harry enough. Not only did he get me more than I first anticipated, it only took them 10 days from the flat being listed to an accepted offer. Brilliant!

TrustpilotMy first time trying to let
I didn't end up finding a property through Martin and Co, but my experience with them was very good - I worked with a young woman named Charlotte who was very good at explaining the different steps of the process to me and helping me to understand what needed to be done (I am only 18 and this is my first experience in letting). Additionally, when my potential landlord let me down (through no fault of the company) I was able to speak to the manager who was very apologetic and then Charlotte continued to help me look at other places. Overall, my experience with Martin and Co (Westbury) was very positive.

TrustpilotGreat service!!
My experience so far with Martin and Co has been great! Liam has helped us in finding accommodation after very little help from other letting agents around Falmouth. After viewing a few properties with them they did not give up in helping us to find a home. They are polite, attentive and hardworking. They also have a website in which you can sign into your personal account to see all the information about your tenancy which is super helpful. We are looking forward to moving into our new home with thanks to Martin And Co.

TrustpilotDO NOT DELETE/REMOVE HONEST REVIEW(S)
Why do Martin & Co constantly remove honest reviews?Is it because honest reviews give 1 (preferably zero) Stars?Martin & Co need to accept that their POOR rating is (and always be) higher than their Excellent/Good rating.Instead of deleting these honest reviews, strive for perfection in ALL Offices/Branches!

TrustpilotExcellent
Having looked for a property for nearly 8 months, I had come to loath interacting with eattae agents. Martin and Co was a breathe of fresh air, specifically Claire in the Tamworth office, who was exceptional. Sadly we have not managed to get the deal away this time but I look forward to seeing what they have coming on in the future. She is a credit to this company.Ed

GoogleProfessional, reliable, trustworthy. These are three adjectives I would use to describe Martin & Co. They do things quickly, efficiently and leave little room for error. They handled a very quick move with the speed of lightning getting the whole thing sorted in under a week. These people know what they are doing. If you go with anyone, go with Martin & Co.
Good morning Richard. Amazing review, thank you so much! It’s been our pleasure. Hope you’re soon settled in. Michelle & the team

TrustpilotNot responsible
They are the worst letting agency I come across in the UK, they won’t respond to any complaint for months , we need to do multiple follow ups for any work to be done, they won’t bother about tenants issues / problems with the ongoing maintenance issues in the flat. I definitely never recommend to anyone to go with this agency.

Absolutely useless, phoned Friday and Saturday and was informed lettings would call me back, it’s not the first time it’s happened with this company either, called them since 9 this morning and nothing, how can you call yourself an estate agent is laughable

Very responsive team in the Reading (Whitley Street) office. Stephen Dyal has been particularly helpful in resolving any issues we have had, being on hand at any time, including coming out to fix our boiler at the weekend. Thanks Martin & Co Reading team!

GoogleMartin & Co in Pontefract have worked fast and efficiently to secure our rented home for us. From viewing to securing the property didn't even take 2 weeks. They are all friendly and know what stage of the the process you are up to, no matter who you talk to. Thank you all. M & S Foster
Hi Michelle, I’ll be sure to pass this onto the lettings team. Thank you for taking the team to leave a review - we really appreciate it. Hope you’re soon settled in. Michelle, Martin & Co Pontefract

TrustpilotPoor care of tennants
We rented a property through Martin and Co. Would never do so again. Despite problems with the property we didn't create a fuss and made the best of it. On leaving we left the property spotless but were charged for several hours of cleaning including cleaning of grout in the bathroom shower. Sure that was in the contract. But it really amounts to abuse of tennants and profiteering.At one point we were asked to allow the entry of a plumber to inspect the boiler. My wife came home early only to find the plumber in our bedroom, which was odd given the boiler was in the kitchen. The following week I noticed my passport was missing. It never turned up even upon leaving the property 3 months later. Martin and Co were rude and patronising on informing them about the missing passport, they couldn't understand why someone might take a passport. "Identify theft" clearly wasn't something they'd heard of. Disgraceful company. Avoid.

TrustpilotI would not be writing a negative…
I would not be writing a negative review unless I thought it was necessary. If you are letting a property beware. It’s a shame I have to write this review because the initial move-in went quite smoothly. So for the first 8 weeks (throughout winter) the heating didn’t work. After many weeks, approximately 8. Of back and forth emails and telephone calls and going into there office to complain it eventually got done.So since leaving the property and trying to get my deposit returned, there have been a few discrepancies. Though firstly I would like to add that I had a tv on the wall, so had filled the wall holes with filler, though I never got round to painting over the small area. Though I have been told that I have to pay £300 for this to be painted, and the bathroom ceiling because of condensation ! £50 to mow a 6x8 ft piece of lawn And £150 to have the property cleaned. All of which was done thoroughly before I left. Which I have receipts for steam cleaning the carpets and painting the white walls of the property, both by highly reputable businesses in Leamington to bring back to the exact standards what were met when I arrived.This is ongoing and I’m refusing to pay the costs I’ve been presented with. Be aware.
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 Pontefract.
