TrustpilotBad experience
Bad experience! When it was time to received the deposit they did a report (check in and check out of the flat). The problem is that we never did it at the beginning and only them did it so they said the flat was perfect without any type of damage. We waited 3 weeks for our deposit because what they said in the report of check out was totally wrong. Never again with them!

TrustpilotYou cannot choose a worse agent
They seem very helpful until you pay those ridiculous fees and then all of a sudden they become horribly unprofessional. You have to remind them of your requests several times and even then they don't act. They ignore your emails or, in the lucky case, answer them in one sentence. At the end they try to rip you off your deposit a claim even more for non-existing 'damage' of the property. Run away from them!

Trustpilotthey lied to me and shouted at me.
they lied to me and many issues.they raise their voices .. not polite at all..they charged me beyond what is required for the last payment...they failed to do most of the required repairs. for this point..the landlord has a big share of the responsibility...
We are very sorry to read your review. Would you be able to let us know which Martin & Co office you used so that we can investigate further. Kind regards, Martin & Co (UK) Ltd

TrustpilotWeymouth branch is horrible
Weymouth branch is horrible. They are doing no fault evictions withouth any compunction. Would give zero star is possible. They lie as you read a book. Unpolite and rude.

TrustpilotWe have used them twice
We want to praise Andrew Lester of Martin & Co Prestwich personally for doing such a good job. We chose him to sell our property for us because he was so good when we bought it almost five years ago, and this time was the same high standard.We hope that not only clients such as ourselves but also solicitors realise how fortunate they are when they have him as the estate agent.

TrustpilotAbsolutely disgusting
Absolutely disgusting. Everyone for the group booking turned up and we were told 30 mins later it was cancelled. When we rang up they were completely unprofessional and rude on the phone. Don't think they realise people have to pay money and take time off work to get to theae viewings

TrustpilotProperty Maintainance
We have worked for Martin & Co for several years now and have always found them to be well organised and efficient. They are proactive with property faults and quick to arrange repairs, ensuring their tenants experience a minimum of disruption.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review, we look forward to continue to work with you in the future.

TrustpilotAbsolutely wouldn’t recommend at all…
Absolutely wouldn’t recommend at all moved into a property in September, reported my boiler not working correctly and it’s January and still not fixed after contacting them over and over again you feel your banging your head of a wall constant trying to get things done. They are everyone’s worst nightmare not what you want especially when you’re renting for the first time too. Absolute joke !

TrustpilotI will never recommend anyone use this…

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
5/5
GoogleExcellent service by Julie S and the team, all aspects of rental locally managed. The team takes care of everything and fully managed certainly means that! Great job, well done!
Thank you Geraldine, really appreciated! I’ll pass your comments on to Julie S. Michelle

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.

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
1/5
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 !!!
