Nicky is our property manager and is always reliable and informative. She makes it her business to chase things along for the benefit of all and has a professional approach in all matters. Very reassuring from a landlords point of view. We know that she will get things done and we are happy for her to make certain decisions on our behalf.

We recently sold our house with Martin & Co Poole. They are a wonderful team in particular Garry and Chloe. They remained calm, professional and positive throughout the whole process especially when things got tricky. Very hard working, easy to get hold of and very knowledgeable. You’re in safe hands with this team! Well done guys and thank you for everything.

We used Martin & Co in Ashley Cross when we returned from Australia for a short term rental agent. They took us on face value as we secured the rental while still in Aus. All staff are great and easily approachable. They’ve sorted out any minor issue we’ve had and communication has always been good. We would use Martin & Co again and would recommend them. On completion of our lease period, they kept us abreast of the procedure, that resulted in a seamless departure.

Alan · 22 July 2026

Dear Alan Very pleased to hear that your return from Australia went so smoothly and that the team were able to look after you so well during and after your time in the apartment. We all wish you the best. Kind regards Steve

I rented from Martin and Co for 2…

I rented from Martin and Co for 2 years. In those 2 years, repairs were left unattended, black mould continued to grow in the main bedroom where my new born son also slept. This led to my son being admitted to hospital on a number of occasions. When told about these problems, we were told things would be done….Things were not done. The house was unsafe, so unsafe that we eventually had to leave early, losing even more money. It takes a lot for me to complain but I have never felt so let down and unheard in my life.

Jordan · 12 May 2025

Agent replied · 7 July 2025

Dear Jordan We are sorry that your child had health issues at the property but we do have to address your comments made. In the time that you lived there, over £10,500 was spent on works, mainly issues that were water related (including hidden leaks in both the kitchen and the bathroom) and potentially a contributory factor to the mould reported. A report by a specialist damp company was carried out within 3 weeks of the mould being reported which unfortunately took that long as it was over the Xmas break. This led to other works being carried out including the clearing of airbricks, new extractor fans and the supply of a dehumidifier. Following the reporting of mould in Dec 23, you were offered a renewal of the tenancy in late March 24 and you replied in an e mail to my colleague Tim that you would love to sign for another year and specifically asked us to contact the owners to tell them it was lovely to meet them. In an e mail from you, you acknowledge the large scope of work carried out at the property but do not seem to realise that the vast majority was to alleviate the mould (the upstairs bedrooms were not affected). You also claim that this issue forced you to leave the property early whereas the fact was you were served notice by the landlords as they were always planning to move back in. The most recent property inspection showed that mould was no longer an issue. After you vacated, we visited the property as you again mentioned mould in your ground floor bedroom. This was solely in an area the size and shape of where your bed was against the wall. It was tested with a professional quality damp meter and the readings were normal and the mould was due to a lack of ventilation in that area.

After several viewings with lack lustre agents, it was like a breath of fresh air to meet Sue at the property in Poole. Sue demonstrated a professionalism and sincerity infused with a friendly and knowledgeable demeanour. Sue is open, honest and very likeable. Sue even provided a "follow me" service to place us on the correct route to Westbourne, after the viewing. She also invited us to call any time if we should have any further questions: "That's what I'm here for!" What a superb attitude - a credit to Martin & Co, and an excellent emissary. Thank you, Sue!! Best wishes from Jon + Lynda

Patricia · 1 May 2025

Agent replied · 2 May 2025

Dear Jon and Lynda I am so glad you enjoyed dealing with Sue as I know she will always go above and beyond. When she says 'call any time' she genuinely means it and will happily give advice even if the property is not with us. Good luck with your search and hopefully we can find you something. Best regards Steve

Absolutely Impeccable Service!

From viewing to moving in Sue, Sarah, Nicky and the team at Martin & Co Poole were second to none! Always keeping us updated at every stage, acting swiftly and with care on anything that required action on their side and ensuring that everything was taken care of in good time prior to moving in. Couldn't not recommend them enough!

Could not have asked for more. A buyer for my property found within 7 days and EOC achieved 3 months later. Gail at Poole was always on the ball and pushed both my own and the purchasers' conveyancers to keep things moving (we all know how tardy they can be) Always kept in touch. My previous dim estimation of estate agents has gone as I now know how hard they work on achieving a sale. Thank you Gail!

Everyone at Martin and Co are very helpful, polite and easy to communicate with. From start to finish no issues. I was kept in the loop at all times and put at ease with things I was unsure of. Moving is a stressful time but Martin and Co take alot of that stress away. Thankyou guys top team .

Through some difficult circumstances on our side, Sue, Sarah and every one at Martin & Co Poole went way way above and beyond to help. Applying a personal touch and common sense approach to ensure the deal could be done was a stark and refreshing contrast to other agencies, most of which just don't even respond to contact. So if you want a team full of people with personality who genuinely seem to want to help tenants, this it THE place to go. Thanks to all of the team!!!

I would like to sincerely thank this real estate agency for their professionalism and human approach. They have helped me with housing twice, and both times in difficult circumstances. At the beginning, my situation as a tenant was not easy, I am a mother of three children and receive benefits. Despite this, the agency showed no prejudice, saw me as a responsible tenant, and truly wanted to help. Thanks to their support and efficient work, we were able to move into a much better home in a very short time. The whole process was smooth, well organised, and considerate of my family’s needs. I highly recommend this agency to anyone who is looking for more than just a standard service.

Superb agency. Oliver, Sue and Sarah were excellent start to finish - clear, sharp advice - they instilled immediate trust, their experience in the industry felt solid and secure. Prompt responses to all emails, patient, made sure I was protected in every way - from finding a secure tenancy to all paperwork and regulations needed. I would recommend over and over again. In an industry where trust is everything - Martin and Co are certainly ones to turn to. Thank you all!
