TrustpilotVery Bad customer service
Bad customer service, no responses to emails, long waiting over the phone. For one week I tried to pay the holding deposit for a flat (needs to be done over the phone), but no one was ever available and every time I was told someone would get back to me which never happened. Later I saw the flats I was interested in were no longer available. They lack seriousness and transparency, absolutely cannot rely on them!

TrustpilotApologies to Worsop Franchise. I am an absent landlord and rely on…
My sincere apologies to Worksop Franchise in Nottingham. This was not a reflection in any way of your franchise. It was for the PLYMOUTH franchise and I attached it to the incorrect franchise. I am an absent landlord and rely on this company in Plymouth. On 31st March 2018 it was noted in a report from them that a curtain rail was not working and another blind needed replacing. Immediately I asked that these be fixed. Regardless of emails and telephone calls, nothing has yet been done. Today I telephoned again and received yet another pathetic response as to why the work had not been carried out.. My tenant has been living with this since March. Unacceptable on every possible level. If they cannot manage this small problem, I question their expertise.

TrustpilotMartin & Co
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!I signed up specifically to leave this review as I have never before encountered service as appalling as the service received from Martin & Co. If it were possible to leave 0 stars, I would. Martin & Co manage several properties for us, and we actually work with several different offices, including both the Preston and the Blackpool office. Whilst I wouldn't recommend either of them, the Preston office is at least, marginally less useless. Given that we pay Martin & Co for their services, I expect them to do the job they are being paid for, which, in my opinion, they have not been doing.It came to my attention that there was a lot of inconsistencies in the rent Martin & Co were charging on two of our properties, and so I requested all of the relevant information from them so that I could investigate and check that there was no money outstanding. It took OVER TWO MONTHS of my constant prompting, before they finally sent the information I was requesting (very basic paperwork, nothing complicated. I still cannot comprehend how it took them so long to complete such a basic task). Upon receipt of this information, it transpires they have been under-charging our tenants for several years and subsequently owe us several thousand in unpaid rent. I have sent several further emails and lodged a complaint regarding this and am now being ignored completely.Their complaints policy is as follows:"The correspondence will be acknowledged within 3 working days. The matter will then be investigated and a full response sent to you within 15 working days." I sent my complaint two weeks ago to Martin & Co, and have been repeatedly chasing them over the past two weeks, requesting acknowledgement of my complaint. Not a single one of my emails has been properly acknowledged, never mind investigated - most of them go completely ignored. I do not have much faith that a full report will be forthcoming, given that they can't even manage to acknowledge my complaint. Unfortunately this will leave me with only one course of action - to take it to the ombudsman.A complete disgrace and utterly incompetent.

Wouldn't trust that Dan with a barge pole!! My mother in law was selling her house with them and the indoor cctv picked up him going through her personal belongings. Safe to say we soon switched to gibbons Richard's, much better service and so much more trustworthy!!

TrustpilotStill the rogues they were 3 years ago
Just seeing if this agency had upped their game but No, still as bad as they were 3 years ago. I will never forget the dreadful experience I had with them. An email they sent me today just reminded me of that and I thought that I would see if they had got any better. They are still the rogues I remember and I have unsubscribed from their emails now. Do beware this company

TrustpilotNightmare Agency in The Midlands
DO NOT RENT OR BUY THROUGH THEM ! I have moved into a flat in Leicester in July 2020 and in many occasions, the agency proved to be unprofessional, unhelpful and totally care-less. ZERO COMMUNICATION as they're supposedly always busy, even at 9am on a Monday !! I cannot write explicitly what I think of them, but I hope you get the point!! Also good reviews are probably paid or fake !!!!

TrustpilotI don't usually give just 1 Star
I don't usually give just 1 Star. But one particular branch in Cornwall has proved to be quite unprofessional. I would like to tell them that one size does not fit all. We all have our own story especially more so during this Pandemic. This company needs to adapt to the changes regarding people's changed lives during this time, and become much more emphatic and sensitive in their dealings with individuals.

TrustpilotI’ve been using this company for years
I’ve been using this company for years. They have always been professional and done their best for me. I don’t understand why there are so many 1 star reviews and suspect that are from a competitor. I also have noticed the complete lack of 2 and 3 star reviews which is strange.

Trustpilotirresponsible, frustrating
we have called them tomake an offer so many times then we have been told to wait for an email when we called back we have been told that there were too many offers so we cant make one, it was soo frustrating to hear that as we could of made an offer but due to their irresponsible behaviour I will never try to do anything with this company

Avoid at all costs also from a Landlord perspective. Property not managed, promises of return calls which do not happen, when you ring them you find that the person who was supposed to return call is either on holiday or has left the company ......
Hi Francois, Apologies that you have had issues with a Martin & Co office. Can you let us know which office you have used so that we can direct your complaint to the relevant person?

TrustpilotBad experience
Bad experience! When it was time to received the deposit they did a report (check in and check out of the flat). The problem is that we never did it at the beginning and only them did it so they said the flat was perfect without any type of damage. We waited 3 weeks for our deposit because what they said in the report of check out was totally wrong. Never again with them!

TrustpilotYou cannot choose a worse agent
They seem very helpful until you pay those ridiculous fees and then all of a sudden they become horribly unprofessional. You have to remind them of your requests several times and even then they don't act. They ignore your emails or, in the lucky case, answer them in one sentence. At the end they try to rip you off your deposit a claim even more for non-existing 'damage' of the property. Run away 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 Tonbridge.
