I have used Martin and Co as an overseas landlord. I have found them to be efficient, timely and responsive. I can recommend their services.

We had a lot of problems with a tenant, but Gaynor at Martin & Co was absolutely brilliant in helping us with resolving this. From getting the tenant out, to making sure we received the monies owed for rent and repairs. She followed everything through to help resolve these issues. Thank you for your hard work.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Very terrible service

Very terrible service. Unprofessional and rude agents. I traveled 3 hours just to view their apartments, despite sending me a wrong address they did not take responsibility for it.

Unhelpful & lacking knowledge - Leamington Branch

Would not recommend. Unprofessional, uninformed and unresponsive.Takes over a week to receive a reply and even then you're passed from one member of staff to the next, with no-one seeming to have any knowledge on how to help with simple requests. Friends have had similar poor experiences. Will avoid using Martin & Co for future properties.

Very positive experience. Efficient communication and effective tenancy management. I am an overseas landlord so I rely on a good letting agent. Recommended!

Great estate agent to deal with

Hi,As with most people I'm not a huge fan of estate agents but Andrew Dear at Martin and Co was brilliant to deal with. we were the buyers so he wasn't employed by us but we found him to be honest, helpful and very efficient throughout the process. I would really recommend him to both buyers and sellers.Chris

We have found selling and a buying a property through Martin & Co to be a good and relatively stress free experience and would highly recommend them. They have been very helpful and excellent communicators and also very realistic without all the usual flannel that you get from most other Estate Agencies! I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Westcliff on Sea branch

Should be a zero score. The westcliff branch dealing with property rental are very unprofessional to landlords. Unless you rent to whoever they say they are not interested. They are only interested in the money and not in providing a comprehensive and supportive service. Much better agents in local area. TOTAL Non listeners avoid big time.

Friendly professional outfit.

On entry the office was clean and tidy and staff were friendly and helpful with good knowledge of the areas i am interested in. When viewing a property the agents were on time ( bonus) and answered all my queries. From my experience I wouldn't have any hesitation using these guys.also I would recommend on that basis.

Why are you sending me junkmail

It's 2022 why are you sending me unsolicited junk mail... I can just use a computer to find a product or service, there's one in my pocket right now. Your paper advertising is bad for the environment and I will never use your company or products now.

Do not use Martin & Co York!

We have used Martin & Co York for 6 years and have had nothing but problems since day 1. They are unprofessional and have lost documents, sided with the landlord, unnecessarily charged us, and the communication is the worst I’ve ever experienced. We will be leaving for another agency soon and it’s not a day too soon!

Disappointing and illegal

Went with Martin and Co I few years back.They lied on the terms of the contract about the electric bill. Three years later I get hit with a CCJ after they falsified information. I've successfully fought them in court and won now. They also refused to return deposit and this was lies as well.

Unpleasant experiences

Had no trouble with Martin and Co until recent horrible experiences with a property manager at the Worcester branch, who has been sending emails with threatening language regarding extra bills (for damages not pertaining to our household). The property manager ought to take responsibility rather than bullying the residents into doing his job.
