Choose another letting company if you own property
DishonestUntrustworthy Inconsistent communicationNo property management actually carried out, damage never reported, structural problems, mould everywhere - much much more but can’t be bothered to list it all. Just want to warn people to stay far away from these unprofessionals.

They dont help with complaints at all
They dont help with complaints at all. You can call up, email, go in to their office and they'll act all nice, say they're going to fix what you want but they never will. They're terrible. I've rented many houses with other estate agents in the past but they are by the far the worst.

Awful service from start to finish
Awful service from start to finish. Numerous issues with the property, including mold on windows and doors, security gate never working, broken buzzer and intercom. We’ve now been out of the property for 3 weeks and no sign of any of the deposit being returned. Avoid at all costs.

AVOID THIS FIRM
Liars. Unprofessional. Useless. Landlords should NEVER use this Agency as they only do 'ad hoc' duties for the Managment Contract and do not care about the standard of the property nor the Tenant(s). Their Beeston Office (NG9) is SHEET!

Worst agent ever. Avoid.....
Worst agent I've ever rented with. Very poor service. I have rented a property managed by Martin and co and can say that this is the worst experience I've ever had with an agent. Customer service is absolutely terrible. Staff are incompetent and unresponsive. Worst agent ever. Do not recommend at all. Avoid at all costs.

I am a landlord
I am a landlord. Evicted my tenant without my knowledge, and have then been trying to charge me for this service ever since. Rarely answer the phone, and do not call back after leaving a message. They used to be really good up until they where taken over a few years ago.

Terrible service from Gosport Branch
Terrible service from Gosport Branch. Tenant hasn't paid rent for 2 months, Gosport lettings team not returning calls to let me know what's happening, I have to constantly call for updates. Tenant doesn't pay council tax, I recieve letters when Gosport should be dealing with this. It is unbelievable. Use another agency for sure!

Martin & Co- Stirling
Martin & Co- StirlingChanged letting agent to Martin & Co in Stirling and it has been like night and day the level of service from them. Communication has been excellent and friendly staff who answer my queries in a timely manner and good communication also with my tenant.

The worst company ever
The worst company ever. They refused to refund my holding deposit, after terminating my application just because i'm on a full time, temporary rolling contract. They were kept in the loop about this all along, but they refused to return my money. Please don't waste your time with them!

Absolutely terrible
Absolutely terrible. Please do not use CHELSEA Reach Branch. Staff incompetent. Owner arrogant and rude. Totally unprofessional. I have taken them to the ombudsman and won compensation, that is how bad they have been. Collected keys and let themselves into my property, without my permission, when the contract between us had finished.

Disgraceful customer service
Disgraceful customer service. I offered the full asking price for a property to later be told the seller wanted cash buyers or first time buyers only. Not only this, but they didn’t have the decency to inform me the property had been sold just 2 days after my full offer.
