GoogleMartin & Co, Reading, have managed the letting of a house in Reading for me and my wife since 2002 - sixteen years! We cannot fault the service... highly recommended... five star. They have looked after our interests and responsibilities, as well as liaising with the tenants and dealing with tenants' enquiries and concerns. They keep as fully informed and take away much of the burden of carrying out our landlord duties. We are very happy customers of Martin & Co.

GoogleNever ever go with this letting agent .. They didn't any inventory check when I checked in . When I reported the issued with the apartment ( water leakage in the washroom , crack on the glass in the rooms , broken sofa ) they didn't take any action after multiple emails and phone calls . Lastly , I had to dispose their faulty sofa and bought a new one . Also , had to survived with the other issues like water leakage in the washroom , crack on the glass in the rooms etc. The water leakage in the washroom deteriorated during the snowfall during Feb/March'18 , I had to vacate the flat and moved to a new flat . I am still paying the rent as the contract is till Apr'18 .
Lastly , the advertisement mentioned that there was a car parking available . However, I was charged additional £25 per month when I purchased a car and asked for the parking space

GoogleI had a rent contract for a flat in Reading for almost 2y6m. From the day 1 until the last day of the contract, I had an impeccable collaboration:
- very good communication
- helpful when needed
- transparency on every level
Recommend!

GoogleNice people but pretty useless, every year when renewing our contract we had to make the same amendments which would be promised to be incorporated into next year's contracts, but never were. Inventory check was I think for a different flat (bathrooms were listed as white emulsion but were infact fully tiled from ceiling to floor!) which was fine - it was a different company that comes in to do inventories, but when we wanted it changed 'we don't re-sign on inventories'.
They didn't manage to find anyone to take our place when we left in 2 months (which would have saved us 2 months rent!) yet another agency managed to fill the flat in 24hrs. You have to be on it like a hawk, but we've yet to find a decent letting agency - maybe as a business there's not enough money in it to make it worth the effort, who knows. At least humans work here though.

FacebookCongratulations Martin & Co, I would currently rank you the highest in lack of customer service. After nearly 2 weeks without hot water, numerous phone calls and the excuse of 'erm.... I can't remember what happened last week' I figured that this was the only way to actually get a response and hopefully get our hot water back on again. If someone would please respond asap that would be great. I won't bother about leaving contact details as I am sure your receptionist could probably recite my phone number by now. Thanks!

GoogleVery friendly and supportive and even give you a welcome pack upon taking your new place (even if renting room). Could do with a bit more attention to detail on the state of the place you're going (info on what things are what etc) but otherwise good for a corporate estate agents!
