Outstanding service from Gail Bond. A truly professional and knowledgeable estate agent. I choose Gail Bond/Martin & Co out of three estate agents I interviewed. I selected Gail to handle the sale , not because she gave the highest valuation but because of her enthusiasm for the property to be sold, and her no nonsense approach to terms and conditions. And I am delighted I did. Gail helped me through the whole process with calm, sensible advice. Arranged quality viewings during the first week of the flat going on sale and had concluded a deal for me within 8 days. Would highly recommend Martin&Co and Gail in particular if you have a property to sell.

Dear Martin, thank you so much for your kind words and I am very happy that Gail was able to provide you with such a good service. I know she wishes you all the best and that the new owners enjoy the property and stunning garden as much as your family have. Kind regards Steve.

I have nothing but excellent things to say about the entire Martin & Co Team in Commercial Road, Ashley cross. Have known the staff for years and work with them regularly. They are friendly, welcoming and ensure a task or issue is tackled to completion. Exactly what a tenant looking for a new property to call home or a landlord looking to rent out a property they own, would want! Wish the team many more years of success!

I sold my flat through Martin and Co. It was the first property I had sold and Gail was very supportive. The process took a long time due to a few hiccups with legalities but Gail remained supportive and in touch throughout. Thankyou so much!

I recently bought my first house through Gail and the team at Martin&Co. From start to finish they were absolutely amazing, really professional, quick to respond and patient with my multiple first time buyer questions! Could not recommend highly enough! Many thanks

Speaking as a landlord, it was not a pleasant experience renting a property through Martin & Co; starting from incorrect wording in the initial contract, poor communication and follow up action when an emergency arose when we were abroad, regular chasing of paperwork and maintenance costings, and finally, incorrect booking of boiler service/landlord certificate. Feel let down by this company so would not recommend it.

Mac · 29 June 2023

Agent replied · 4 July 2023

I am so sorry to hear this as we always strive to give excellent service. Please could you contact me to discuss so that I can investigate the situation and find a resolution. If you could give me further information ie the property address and/or your name as the scenario you describe is not one I am aware of. Kind regards, Steve steve.ballam@martinco.com

Our overall experience Martin&Co so far has been amazing. We have been selling our property with Gail and she has been amazing,it’s been on the market less than 2 weeks and we are starting our sale! I’ve felt at ease with everything, every little question I have had has been answered so quickly and in detail, I felt confident from the beginning that she was the right lady for us to use, enthusiastic, professional and most of all friendly and very on the ball!!

Amazing estage agents, nothing was too much to be done. If I called up with any issues with the property it was delt with within 24 hours. I called up at 4pm on a Friday, and was dealt with by 5pm. The staff have always been a fantastic mix of professional and friendly, you're treated like a person and not just a number. When I handed my notice in they replied with a really personal message wishing me the best. I can not recommend this estate agent enough!!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I have been an overseas landlord for the last 16+ years and the Martin & Co team has had full management control of my property during this time. I am extremely pleased with the service that I have received and it has enabled me to live abroad without the day to day responsibilities of the property. Now that I have decided to sell my property, I can also recommend the service that I have received from the Martin & Co sales department (Gail Bond). So yes a very positive review from me and a big thank you to all involved at the Martin & Co Poole office. Peter Ralph 4th December 2019
