GoogleI've been using Martin & Co for several years to manage my property in Southend. I've always found them very helpful, especially now that I'm not local. I appreciate when they give me an honest account of potential tenants, and respect my decision to accept or decline applications. They've given me advice to help secure tenants. Pleased & will continue using them.

GoogleAbsolutely rubbish company. Requested to view 3 different properties in the last week, via phone and using Rightmove and their own website. Not heard back once! I then rang to ask to speak to someone, they took my details, and again, never contacted me back (that was a week ago now). How can you trust a company with selling / renting your flat if they can't even answer an email or return a call? Amateurs with zero customer focus. AVOID

GoogleWe've been landlords for over 20 years and our experience using the services of managing agents has been very mixed. Refreshingly, Martin & Co, Southend-on- Sea, have proved to be excellent and reliable. The staff are friendly, professional and go out of their way to help. They understand us and go the extra mile to find us the most suitable tenant.

GoogleThe worst people I’ve ever had to deal with. Absolutely useless, avoid at all costs. Everything with my sell went wrong and all could have been avoided if people could do their jobs properly.

GoogleI have tried two different times to rent two different properties and on both occasions they responded after days and when I finally got to arrange a viewing they immediately said it was no longer available and already let.
I was within the first ones to call and enquire about the properties and after days and days they tell me it's not available anymore. Very poor communication, always had to keep calling the office because the agents didn't respond any text messages, emails or phone calls, and after calling several times to the office (without any response) they say that they are busy, I really don't know for who because they don't take care of their tenants either, not only the enquiries. I am at the stage of seeing a nice property and then praying and hoping it's not managed by their company.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleMartin & Co have been finding tenants for us for many years. We only use them to find the tenants for us and not to run the tenancy, but on the whole they usually provide a good mix of prospective tenants for us to choose from. They deal with matters promptly and efficiently.PositiveResponsiveness
