TrustpilotDidn’t receive applications
Found the perfect flat with them, good price and location. Went for a viewing, were really happy with it, and were told we would be sent applications. I was sent one a couple of days late, but my partner was not sent one at all. We both rang and emailed all week to ask for this to be sent over but it never was. I then rang today to find out that the property was no longer available and we couldn’t even fully apply.

TrustpilotI personally believe this letting…
I personally believe this letting agency only selects British nationals to let there properties because why would I apply to more than 8 properties and got none when I clearly work full time earn more than enough and not get a property. WHYYYYYYYYYYY IT JUST SCREAMS RACISM SINCE AUGUST WE ARE IN DECEMBER NOTHING YET!!!

TrustpilotAVOID!
Would give 0 stars if I could. Please AVOID this company. I am a disabled individual and they have treated me with complete and utter disrespect and are now trying everything to get every penny from me. Our landlord was texting us personally saying one thing and the estate agent texting us another thing which caused a lot of stress and upset. The workers in the huddersfield office and rude, cannot communicate properly and quite frankly cannot seem to add their maths up properly! Please do yourselves a favour and avoid this corrupt and awful company.

TrustpilotGets worse and worse
My local office gets worse and worse by the year. Since using them almost three years ago now, four members of staff have left. One in particular was very rude and stuck up. She was conversing with the management company behind our backs, slagging us off. Very unprofessional. The new staff are useless morons who don't seem to do anything and can't even reply to emails. The person in charge seems to do everything and can't even be bothered to send us the rest of the tenancy agreements. Every time something needs doing we have to keep ringing them or visiting them. They're a joke.

TrustpilotAVOID AT all cost!!!!
AVOID AT all cost!!!!Martin & Co STAINES are scammers!!!The made me paying 2 extra weeks, even giving the notice 6 weeks before. The new owner of the state agency is discusting. She invented things to keep my holding deposit, even they knew some problems of the flat were there before I started my contract. I had to speak with my solicitor and with the Citizen Advise Bureu of Lambeth and i had to open a dispute with the DPS. The ripped me around £500.Never sing a contract with this rubbish agency. CAUTION: AVOID-AVOID-AVOID

TrustpilotIncompetent, useless, ignorant time wasters
I’d give -0 stars if that was an option. You can’t even call this an estate agents. Not a single person with a brain cell, let alone any customer service or knowledge of landlord/tenant rights. Absolutely shocking service since the beginning of having the displeasure of dealing with them. Avoid at all costs!!!

TrustpilotAs a landlord this has to be the worst…
As a landlord this has to be the worst company I've ever had to deal with.I've had the phone put down on me muliple times, contracts alterations not taken notice of, dealt with rude staff. The builders they employ: Think long hard and carefully before you let them loose on your house ; they're more than prepared to overcharge and not guarantee their work and quote text from a book!! Then there's the issue of deposits not being returned on time even with 6 months notice!! Do yourself a favour and find a different lettings agent. I'm really surprised these people are still business!

TrustpilotMartin & Co - Non Neutral Letting Agency I have ever come across
As a tenant who has resided with Martin and Co for the past 1 year and 8 months, I regret to provide negative feedback regarding my move-out experience. Unfortunately, I found the team to be heavily biased in favor of the landlord, leading to a delay of approximately one month in receiving confirmation of my move-out date. The staff's apparent lack of impartiality was evident in their communication, which emphasized rules and regulations for tenants without addressing concerns or delays reported by the tenant against the landlord.Despite returning the property in the same condition as received and having it professionally cleaned, I was charged £150 for something I did not accept. Although I paid to avoid further complications, I am disappointed that Martin and Co appeared to be wholly one-sided.In my opinion, a letting agency's success relies on their ability to act as a neutral party between tenants and landlords. Unfortunately, Martin and Co's lack of impartiality has left me with a negative impression, and I have already informed my acquaintances of my experience to avoid such an outcome in the future.

TrustpilotGreed, taking advantage, un-reliable!
I’m very disappointed and somewhat not so surprised... I made sure to return the apartment in the manner I received it to the best of my ability. There’s no point of me complaining here and throwing an tantrum because you’re business does not care what I have to say. You’re charging me £105 for cleaning and perhaps think this the best for Martin and Co but fail to realise that you’re damaging relations with future tenants. The fridge freezer crack I can slide as I may have missed this but the bed and bath light clean for £85 is absurd. That’s a ridiculous charge for such a job. But you know you can get away with it because you have the upper hand taking money from my initial deposit. As for the utility providers and forwarding address, what was the point of me filling in the form when handing over the keys? You already have the information in your records. Why are you again asking me for this information. I understand this sounds unreasonable of me to have a go at Martin and Co but I’ve very let down with how things have been handled. I hope the £85 ridiculous and greedy charge for light clean is worth it. If it was £30 I wouldn’t even mention in, I guess you want the property to be of the highest quality for next tenants but £85 tells me you think its okay to take advantage of ex-tenants. I really hope lessons are learnt here, I’m sure reputation or relations of Martin & Co is valued, clearly its not.

TrustpilotThanks Gina and Nic
I have been living in a house managed by Martin and Co for almost a year. Once we ran out of hot water in winters due to some issues with boiler. Gina ensured that the issue is resolved quickly. I find the Martin and Co team (Both Gina and Nic) very professional and efficient.
We are so happy to hear you had such an excellent experience and we hope to hear from you again.Thank you for choosing Martin & Co and thank you for the 5 stars!Kind Regards,Martin & Co

TrustpilotNo hot water since moving in over a month ago
Moved in on 26 December and hot water wasn’t working, reported to Martin & Co saltaire that same week, now on 26th January still no further forward, 3 separate plumber visits and they are still unable to sort out the problem, meanwhile I am having to pay to heat up a full tank of water every day which I am not getting access to due to the faults. Emailed Martin and Co about this to see if they can offer me any help as I am struggling to afford my electric bill due to this and have paid them over 2k in total to move in including rent and deposits however responded that the previous tenant never reported any issues and they are being prompt with their repair response. Still no hot water and in the coldest months of the year. Martin and Co clearly do not care about the tenants I wish I never moved here

TrustpilotSlow service
Staff were pleasant but it takes absolutely ages to get a response to any queries.I often got fobbed off when calling or e-mailing the agency. When I went to the check in meeting the lady was smoking outside the flat, which I consider to be unprofessional. Further to this, i had no information given to me about the moving out process until I resorted to contacting the manager.

TrustpilotDirty bunch of crooks
Dirty bunch of crooks . Ignore all calls for repairs and leave a family with babies in poor conditions with damp, unrepaired dangerous conditions and when you have enpugh and move out they then reply to email very promptly accusing you of leaving the place a mess and saying you're at fault for all the repairs . Will do anything to keep deposits. STAY AWAY BAD COMPANY

TrustpilotDO NOT DELETE/REMOVE HONEST REVIEW(S)
Why do Martin & Co constantly remove honest reviews?Is it because honest reviews give 1 (preferably zero) Stars?Martin & Co need to accept that their POOR rating is (and always be) higher than their Excellent/Good rating.Instead of deleting these honest reviews, strive for perfection in ALL Offices/Branches!

TrustpilotNot responsible
They are the worst letting agency I come across in the UK, they won’t respond to any complaint for months , we need to do multiple follow ups for any work to be done, they won’t bother about tenants issues / problems with the ongoing maintenance issues in the flat. I definitely never recommend to anyone to go with this agency.

TrustpilotPoor care of tennants
We rented a property through Martin and Co. Would never do so again. Despite problems with the property we didn't create a fuss and made the best of it. On leaving we left the property spotless but were charged for several hours of cleaning including cleaning of grout in the bathroom shower. Sure that was in the contract. But it really amounts to abuse of tennants and profiteering.At one point we were asked to allow the entry of a plumber to inspect the boiler. My wife came home early only to find the plumber in our bedroom, which was odd given the boiler was in the kitchen. The following week I noticed my passport was missing. It never turned up even upon leaving the property 3 months later. Martin and Co were rude and patronising on informing them about the missing passport, they couldn't understand why someone might take a passport. "Identify theft" clearly wasn't something they'd heard of. Disgraceful company. Avoid.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
Tell us what you need and we'll put you in touch. Martin & Co Sheffield hasn't joined The Trusted Agent yet, so we'll pass your enquiry to them or to up to three other top-rated agents near Sheffield.
