Merril, Richard and their team are the most attentive and considerate letting agents that I have used. From helping us find a property to the ongoing management they have looked after our needs and gone the further mile in regards to fitting in with our timescales and wider needs. I would strongly recommend them.

It's rather easy to get 5 star reviews…
It's rather easy to get 5 star reviews when there are no issues to deal with. However, a company, in my opinion, is judged on how well they deal with problems and Martin and Co have demonstrated to be shockingly bad. Martin and Co St Albans, have incredibly unhelpful staff that stop replying to emails with genuine issues, with clear evidence with concerns about how their tenants are behaving and treating property which directly affect neighbours and is clearly breaking the terms of the lease. We communicated well over 3 months ago and requested that the debris and obstructions be removed from around the rear of our property, to enable us access to our first floor property. The tenant, who martin and Co placed in the property have admitted in writing that they are responsible for the tenants conduct, to ensure and communicate they abide by the terms and conditions of the agreement and also stated they would escalate matters if the tenant was unwilling to meet with us and letting agent to remedy it, yet the tenant was unwilling and martin and co have gone back on their word and ignored our latest email. it’s being treated like a dump, there are discarded belongings and furniture along with a large plastic shed (which could have been located anywhere else in the garden, other than directly below) blocking access to our first floor property, for maintenance etc. As a result, we haven't been able to get our windows cleaned, the sky engineer cannot access the dish. Whatever the circumstances may be, it isn't appropriate to cause neighbouring properties an inconvenience when the provisions set out in the lease as well as the issue being raised consistently for over 3 months! Our latest email has been completely ignored and sums up how they approach issues when they arise. Martin and Co St Albans - Lack integrity, unprofessional and unhelpful. Avoid at all costs. (we have photos and emails for evidence to verify our experience with Martin and Co St Albans)

I have been working with Richard & Merril since 2010. I have found them both to be professional, kind, efficient and very helpful. Their communication with me has been excellent. They always return my phone calls and I cannot speak highly enough of them. Their work ethic and people skills are a credit to Martin & Co.

Martin and Co review It's rather easy to get 5 star reviews when there are no issues to deal with. However, a company, in my opinion, is judged on how well they deal with problems and Martin and Co have demonstrated to be shockingly bad. Martin and Co St Albans, have incredibly unhelpful staff that stop replying to emails with concerns about how their tenants are behaving and treating property and neighbours. We communicated well over 40 days ago and requested that the debris and obstructions be removed from around the property, to enable access to our first floor property. The tenant, who martin and Co placed in the property have admitted in writing that they are responsible for the tenants conduct, and yet, it’s like a rubbish dump (see photo attached), there are discarded belongings and furniture along with a large plastic shed (which could have been located anywhere else in the garden, other than directly below) blocking access to the first floor property, for maintenance etc. As a result, we haven't been able to get our windows cleaned, the sky engineer cannot access the dish, and we cannot get the gutters cleaned out which are overflowing with debris and growing shoots, being located next to many tall trees, which means the water flows down the property face and not entirely in the gutter. Whatever the circumstances may be, it isn't appropriate to cause neighbouring properties an inconvenience, when the issue has been raised more than once, to just be ignored, sums up how they approach issues when they arise. Martin and Co St Albans - Unprofessional and unhelpful. Avoid at all costs.

We are renting for the first time through Martin & Co in St Albans. Communication with staff has always been professional and responsive, with a special mention for Claire and Sarah. We would highly recommend using Martin & Co.

Around a year has passed and still issues
Around a year has passed, and Martin and Co St Albans have yet to address the issues raised, which prevent us from accessing our property for maintenance amongst many other issues. This situation clearly demonstrates and substantiates their dismissive attitude towards genuine concerns. Their approach is utterly unprofessional, preferring to neglect these issues in the hope that they will simply disappear.
5/5
We have moved into another property with Martin and Co, and the experience was top-notch. They have been incredibly cooperative and friendly throughout the entire process. Smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend!
Thanks Tae, glad you're sticking with us!

. I have used Martin and Co since they first opened in St. Albans (they then were open on a Sunday which I found very useful as I don’t live in St. Albans). All the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful so I would definitely recommend them.

Awesome experience working with Martin & Co!! They have a great team to help throughout the rental journey, especially during check-out which is generally very stressful. But the team made it simple for us! Keep up the good work and all the best!!
