TrustpilotI’m hesitant giving one star
I’m hesitant giving one star! Roath branch are not only rude, they are incompetent. Clearly need a lot more staff training, no one in the office knew the correct laws or how to deal with customers. Stay clear if you want a happy life

I have already sent an email of complaint to the Folkestone Branch at the rudeness encountered when making a general enquiry. It would have been nice to have received an apology.

TrustpilotDear All
Dear All, they are quite prompt while you are still paying your rent, once you have vacated the property after paying all your due, its very very difficult to close other formalities, e.g: Inventory clearance, Deposit clearance. Chasing them since almost 5 months and they are quoting a number of reasons for the delay, something that I cannot validate nor have a visibility on

TrustpilotBad reviews not allowed apparently
Anyone who leaves a bad review is having them temporarily removed because Martin and co are saying it's the wrong company...... And you still only manage a 2 star rating, what a joke of a comany
Hi Carl, We're not removing reviews, we are asking for them to be moved to the correct profile - each office has their own Trustpilot profile where their own reviews are held. All Martin & Co offices are individually owned franchise businesses so it is the business owner who needs to respond to the review. We still monitor all reviews and follow up with the offices concerned. If you would like an issue looked into please head to the relevant local office profile, leave your review and the office owner will come back to you.

I was looking for a company who were wiling to let out my uninhabitable rental property that was totally devoid of certificates for safety re boilers, electrics and had health issues from crumbling interiors and damp And I found them excellent, no questions asked only the fee agreed, I am now looking for further derelict properties I can purchase secure in the knowledge this company can let them

GoogleHighly professional estate agents. The best interests of both tenants and Landlords, they aim to instill confidence in both. They have been outstanding in their customer care and I highly recommend them!
That comment means a great deal. Thank you.

TrustpilotNever use again.
Would never use these again. The letting agents have very little knowledge of the properties they are selling/renting, they attempt to use scare tactics in order to push their way around and bully you into things that are ILLEGAL. Complaints are rarely handled and when they are they’re done so poorly. Unless you want lots of undue stress, I’d recommend using another agent.

TrustpilotPlease avoid!
Please avoid. After 6 years of renting I’ve never encountered so many issues as I did with Martin and co. They have falsified information and are trying to extort money from me and my partner. Unlucky for them I was smart enough to have evidence to dispute it. Please be careful they are thieves and they will do anything to steal your money.

TrustpilotWould definitely recommend these guys
Would definitely recommend these guys. Used both Martin & Co Croydon and Streatham for our flats. Property management services work perfectly fine for us too. Very reasonable compared to some of these other sharks. Great guys!
Hi Tony, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review for our Croydon & Streatham offices. Kind regards, Martin & Co (UK) Ltd

TrustpilotHorrifically bad
Horrifically bad. Stay Away!!! Agent Carlos confirmed a viewing on email, forgot and tried to blame me. THE WORST!

TrustpilotDon't bother if your not in Liverpool
The company "Don't have the capabilities for digital viewings" - I know even after covid!AND they won't rent without a physical viewing of the property - This makes it impossible for young professionals moving to work from other parts of the UK to rent through this company.

TrustpilotThe worst agency ever
The worst agency ever! Don't use them ever. They don't care about tenants issue. Don't listen at all. No need to help. Just focused on money. We meant to move and on the same day of moving they said that we have to wait one more day. When everything we had ready to move. They are no professional at all. Everything in the rush.

Derby! Avoid using this agency!! Scammed out of our holding deposit, refusing to return the money after they withdrew our application, Goodlord app they use is also a waste of time and trying to get hold of managers is impossible! Terrible company.

TrustpilotHARBORNE BIRMINGHAM BRANCH
HARBORNE BIRMINGHAM BRANCH. Terrible scammers, terrible for tenants, terrible for landlords. Poor communication. No common sense. Simply trying to fleece you as much as they can. Unable to get my deposit due to them trying to get a quote for cracked freezer drawers so old they aren't made anymore, freezer was in bits when I moved in, refused to relay communication to landlord. AVOID.

Have had an amazing experience with Martin and co in the Winchester branch. We are all students looking to find a house for the first time and the team were absolutely amazing. Really friendly but always professional, would really recommend them. They were very quick at responding and arranging viewings for housing and helped make the whole process very clear and somewhat enjoyable.

TrustpilotProperty maintenance
I have recently got on to Martin and co about a property that they let the tenants are not cutting their hedge and it’s out of control and they are not doing anything about the problem instead of dealing with it you end up getting cheeky emails back from them worst company I had to deal with shocking reponce from them
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 and Co 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 Southend-On-Sea.
