*** avoid at all cost ***

*** avoid at all cost *** I would give no stars if possible My experience is with the pontefract branchThe staff call for late payments before the due date, tell lies and try to steal deposits. They are extremely rude and will only answer the phone if it’s regarding payments. Will refuse to speak if it’s regarding issues. They leave maintenance Issue for months and refuse to send anyone. They use old photos to submit to deposit schemes. They show up to houses unannounced and try to make tenants pay for issues that the landlord is liable for.

I rang Martin and co for the second…

I rang Martin and co for the second time for a viewing on a property I was interested in. The lady on the phone asked me what my situation was. I explained that I already owned a property on the street and would probably look at selling it. Ten minutes later I get a call from another woman telling me if I’m not in a position to move they can’t grant me a viewing. Didn’t even bother to ask , just assumed I had to sell to buy ! What a way to treat people, disgusting as I had the cash !!

So far …… everything has gone smoothly

So far …… everything has gone smoothly. Abi Rosser has been very patient and helpful throughout. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Just about to start renting tomorrow so we will see how everything else goes !

Martin &Co…Letting Agent

I have been a Landlord with Martin &Co since they took over from County Rentals having been with CR for a good number of years. My person of contact has always been Pauline with both firms and I always found her very obliging going out of her way to be helpful.As a letting agent Martin and Co have always been very professional in there approach and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a letting agent

Looking for properties

We had the pleasure of viewing properties with Karl. He couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly, he worked with us to find properties in our price range. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, Karl was excellent!

Henry was a super star

Henry was a super star. He really did go out of his way to ensure that we felt like he was on top of everything. When our buyers randomly pulled out he had the property re listed in hours and we managed to get a higher price after this. Value for money - the virtual tour really did sell our home. Thanks

Terrible (Bognor Branch)

Terrible (Bognor Branch)Rented for 1 ½ years and they never helped me once. Despite asking Marlina multiple time inc visiting the office, I was never given a key to communal meter cupboard to get readings. I never knew if I was in credit or debt the whole time. I was even emailed by Marlina to say too busy to get one, please ask a neighbour?Heating never worked, just a plug in radiator. Mould in bedroom ect.After leaving they tried to claim most of my deposit with false claims. End of tenancy report said multiple items missing despite them later admitting they had these in their offices. Locks tampered with, carpet dirty, pet damage & much more. They even took photos at strange angles to make things look worse than they were.Lucky I took photos start & end of tenancy & The deposit protection ruled in my favour.I promise you it was in better condition when I left. I even showed the owner round who said he was happy I looked after it.During a final call to them I asked why they never mentioned anything to me if issues and they said it was company policy to only talk to their clients. I thought I was their client???????Disgusting behaviour. If you dare use them (especially this branch) Take photos people!!Ok rant over. I don’t normally moan but all the above & virtually saying I stole items, I had to comment.Good luck all

Excellent service

We recently enquired about a rental property, our call was handled courteously and efficiently, our viewing was arranged timeously and Nasreen from Martin & Co was helpful, knowledgable and very respectful throughout the entire process. Documentation was delivered as promised, fully explained and processed expeditiously. At the time of writing, we have no experience of lease end or matters arising, return of deposit etc.

Not competent advisers

I am self-employed. My husband employed and we have a guarantor. But a very "nice" lady on the phone said that since I have been working for less than 1 year, my income will not be taken into account and the presence the guarantor does not change the situation in any way! So we could rent from them (or anyone from Rightmove) only on husband's salary which is enough only for properties not more then £900!!!Obviously that adviser is not competent and left me with no hope when it was a lie!

Pauline and team were excellent

Pauline and team were excellent. Everything promised, they delivered. very professional and personable. Very pleasant dealing with them all.From viewing the property with Nasreen to Pauline's invaluable guidance and collecting the keys etc with Sharon, the experience has been pain-free and enjoyable. I can trust Pauline and team, and am delighted with their service.I thank the whole team for helping me find that property that I wanted.

Rude Agent

The agent was rude over the phone. Wouldn't give us a chance to talk straightaway telling us we can't rent the property. My husband called separately and they made him hold 3 times asking unnessary question like about our kids especially what gender they both are, like what's that got to do with renting a property? Not a trusted house agent at all. Would never recommend.

Avoid renting with them.

Avoid renting with them.Immersion in the water tank broke down and Martin & Co send a technician that after couple of visits did not fix it. I warned Martin & Co that if the boiler were to break down (is an old one), I would have no hot water, but they disregard my email. 4 weeks after that the boiler broke down. I told them there is no hot water in the apartment but after a week they have done nothing and I am still with no hot water. When I meal them they reply with excuses saying they are tracking down the contractors to get an estimate or that they have contacted the landlord but got an out of office reply.Avoid Martin & Co at all cost, they don't care about you they just care about not upsetting the landlord.

Atrocious service

Atrocious service. I've had 5 appointments for a valuation and each time it's either been cancelled or the estate agent just hasn't turned up with no explanation. Given up now. I'll use someone else.

i have genuinely had the worst experience with these estate agents. i have a property manager called natasha scott who is the most horrid, rude and vile person on earth. she deliberately does spiteful things like telling me the wrong date when my rent would be due or ignoring emails or even trying to sabotage my rent renewal and this has been going on for a year. please avoid this agency.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!! terrible customer service and they couldn't care less about the tenants and they don't seem to have a clue about tenancy laws and seem quite happy to breach tenancy agreements with no regards for anyones feelings or situation. I've had a lovely and peaceful 9 year tenancy until these morons took over and its now all stress and upset. So angry.

We are renting a flat under their management, and for four months they have neglected to repair the roof, which leaks every time it rains.

Lack of communication with me and with people trying to make offers.Very poor and confusing messages. I also had a message saying a customer has cancelled his viewing appointment as no longer interested.I did not know of this appointment and wonder if he's cancelled due to a lack of response from Purple bricks.I complain and ask for an explanation and not an apology - I just get an apology and no explanation.GET YOUR FINGER OUT ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Don’t go with them! We had a living nightmare

We asked them to fix the carpet which wasn’t secured properly but they never fixed it, the house had a damp problem and they were so rude about it, they hired someone to install vents which made the house freezing, the workmen said they had covers for them we could use for when it got cold and they never gave them to us. When we wanted to leave they made us pay an extra months rent (which they blagged with some fine print in the agreement and never really explained to us). So they say you’re on a rolling contract but when you want to leave they will charge you 2 months rent … When we left we cleaned the place to an inch of our lives and they are claiming that the fire alarm is missing, that we haven’t swept the chimney (which we have and we never used the fireplace) and they are saying they want to replace the carpet and we have to pay 300 out of our deposit for that. They are also really rude over the phone
