rude staff

My senior and unwell mother suffered a flood after a leak in the flat above. The tenant warned the landlady via the estate agent that a pipe was about to burst but nothing was done. Martin and co staff were extremely rude . One member went over my request to leave my mum alone that day as she was distraught and is unwell but she then telephoned her! NO consideration for a senior citizen or a request to not visit her that day. She still hung around outside her flat and involved others to intimate my mum to give her access.

Would do 0

Would do 0, think evil corporation think Martin Co, doubling rent of every family oriented residence they can and doing over our society and economy in the process. They will share the news of your necessary departure with 0 care for your human struggle. They have acted and taken advantage before the legislation that stops them increasing rent by so much or even no fault eviction. Evil.

Martin & Co have got to be the worst…

Martin & Co have got to be the worst housing to ever exist. My Daughter moved it into a flat 3 years ago that was freshly painted but noticed the glass panel that was once painted had black dots on the door which clearly showed there was mould in that property. They allowed my daughter to move there with a 19 month old baby. The property within a month was smothered with mould, it was on the walls, clothes. Mattresses etc. my daughter tried everything painted with the mould paint, they put extractor fans & dehumidifier which hasn’t helped one bit. My grandson has constantly ended up in hospital lifeless from where he’s so ill he’s not eating or drinking. Doors are hanging off hinges due to how bad the mould is, bath has been blocked from day 1. Council made me go private and this is what I’m having to live with, I can’t even move out as I don’t have money. How these people can sleep at night is beyond me. My grandson is now registered as asthmatic and they’re trying to say that mould doesn’t effect your health.

Excellent service and courteous staff

My Mum had died and her house had to be sold. Rowan was extremely sensitive and kind. She kept me informed along the way. When my Brother and I decided to take it off the market, a guy who had viewed it so wanted it that he pursuaded Rowan to make a call to us. To cut a very long story short, he now owns it! Had Rowan not followed her gut instinct the house would probably still be empty and unloved.

Highly Professional and honest staff:Gloucester

Martin and Co was managing my tenancy on my rented Home and the staff were really professional and respectful whether face to face or over the phone especially Edward and Hallam Beveridge. Any challenges I faced during my stay, be it Boiler issues or Heating were attended on time. I highly recommend them as I feel they truely define Great public relations and value their tenants. Keep up the good work.

MARTIN AND CO MEDWAY

MARTIN AND CO MEDWAY, Rochester - my experience has been one of fraud, overcharged fees, ignoring emails, lack of professionalism, breaking contracts, wasting money and I could go on and on. Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction from this branch of Martin and co. I am a landlord of 20 years’ experience with great relationships with all my agents. This agency is BEYOND POOR.

New Milton, Awful estate agents, left us homeless with no help

Disgusting estate agents didnt bother with us at all, I called and called to view a property as ours was only a short term let, they never bothered to tell us when the viewings were despite me calling several times and let the property go to someone else. There was nothing else available and because of this we ended up homeless while I was pregnant and with a 3 year old. Never use them!!

Want ALL your personal info just for a viewing

Tried to view several properties with this agency but before you can even arrange a viewing, they send you an email with 15 very intrusive questions. For example, how many animals do you have - please tell us breed, names, ages, etc.

Anti social tenants welcome at Martin an co.

Martin and Co are responsible for the nightmare tenants next door. I have called them 9 times to report anti social behaviour as I cannot sleep until around 2 -3 am. This has ruined my mental health and ability to function at work. They care not about duty and responsibility. I wouldn't use them in any shape of form. No standards.

As a landlady for over 20 years this is comfortably my worst experience. The letting agent at the Leicester office was rude and patronising at times. Incorrect AML checks for which there was an expectation the landlord would cover the costs. Slow replies to email and requests often not actioned. Questionable GDPR compliance with attempted validation through loose loopholes. Overall a stressful experience which is concerning when you pay for a service to take away the stress!

Robert and the team in Tonbridge have been managing my rentals for many years now. From the start, it was evident Robert wanted to build a relatonship for the long term and has always offered me good professional advice and I never have any hesitation in recommending their services to others.

Stay clear of Martin and co!

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Simran at Martin & Co Birmingham City. Communication was virtually non-existent, she took 3-4 days to respond to emails, if she replied at all, and was unreachable by phone, insisting on email-only contact. As a landlord, I found her uninformative and unsupportive, particularly when dealing with tenant vacating processes. She provided minimal effort in securing damage deposits, even when damages clearly exceeded the deposit amount. Overall, her service was inadequate, and I strongly advise landlords to avoid working with her to save time and frustration.

I have been using Martin and Co Tonbridge as the letting agent for my Tonbridge properties for several years. I have always found them very professional, efficient and reliable. Robert and his team are very knowledgable and always happy to advise when asked. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Robert and his team are incredibly helpful and friendly with their professional help at hand. I have used the service of Martin and co for many years and not once have they let me down. They are professional in their field of work, very personable with their service and extremely insightful with existing and up-coming rules and regulations in rental market. I especially enjoy reading Robert’s regular news letters. They always make me laugh and yet keep me in the loop about the various fickles of being a landlord. Martin and co is a little gem in Tonbridge.

Martin & Co Wokingham and Bracknell is amazing!The owner Erica is and was always available and supportive during almost 3 years that I was a tenant. They are very frank, well organized and ready to help anyone. It doesn't matter if you are a tenant or a landlord!!The best agent! We were lucky to have them adminstrating our tenancy!!!

Simply the Best

I have used Martin&Co to look after my properties for 13 years and wouldn't be without them. They are very professional and sort out any problems so I don't have to! Diana Gaglio is the person I have been dealing with lately for one property and she saved me £100 by finding a better deal for something, brilliant! I feel like she looks after me in fact all of Martin & Co look after me, that's how it feels. 🙂

Extremely disappointed

Throughout our tenancy we had to constantly chase for updates, and several issues with the property were never fully addressed. We maintained the home to a high standard and left it in a clean, well‑kept condition, yet our landlord is now refusing to release our deposit.

Morrisons Village Square Runcorn has rapidly gone to the ruins, fridges are empty most of the time, limited stock on the shelves, there has been no sugar on the Costa Machine for 3 weeks now, I asked can you not use a bag of sugar for the coffee? The reply was, we are not allowed, i usually spend £30+ in there everyday before work only to find i need to go to another shop to get what Morrisons dont have in stock, its absolutely degrading by management from Morrisons to limit the stock availability, I must refrain from using that store again

Martin&Co Wokingham

My opinion is to STAY WELL CLEAR!!After being a tenant under Martin&Co Wokingham my personal advice to anyone would be that I would NOT recommend Martin&Co. In my personal experience and dealings with Martin&Co and their director I was left to feel as if I was a second-class citizen!! In my personal experience even going as far as stating that we had no rights.In my personal experience with Martin&Co and dealings with Erica and her team they persisted to in my opinion try to threaten and intimidate, again in my opinion and based off of my personal experience, I was left to feel they used underhand practices to get the outcome they desire.Personally, as a tenant who values my right to privacy, and right to quiet enjoyment as set out in tenancy agreements. I did not feel as if that was respected or acknowledged by Martin&Co Wokingham. In my experience they contacted me outside of working hours numerous times no matter how many times I requested them not to, I was left to feel harassed. In my experience numerous times Erica phoned/emailed myself when she wanted to, personally I don't want to take calls as late as 8:30pm regarding such matters however I had no choice with Erica. In my personal experience they even went as far as turning up to the home without notice!!In my personal experience our deposit was not kept in a safe manner and in my opinion was not dealt with professionally and fairly at the end of the tenancy. After numerous requests surrounding our deposit, I'm left to personally feel it is not something Erica and her team at Martin&Co sadly seem to believe in. In my experience our deposit was threatened several times and again in my opinion used as leverage whilst they continued to withhold up to date prescribed information that they were required to provide us with during our tenancy.In my experience they did not deal with our deposit requests and took the complete allowed time to reply to any requests made from the governing body. They made numerous claims which would seemingly double the following day, I was left to feel as if these were fictitious claims. For us personally it took 4 months to reclaim the deposit when the governing body dismissed many of said claims. In my opinion I would hope and expect a company like Martin&Co to deal with this in a more professional and timely manner. My advice based on my experience is if you're a landlord that wants to know their property is in the safe hands of professionals, I would highly advise staying clear!! During my dealings with Erica and her team they weren't the best with paperwork and made numerous errors in the actual paperwork they did prescribe!! In my personal experience they left confidential paperwork with high value in an unsecured environment and the team could not even find it at one point. In my experience during this time a staff member was in my opinion incredibly rude to us, even though they could not find our confidential paperwork through their own errors. In my opinion and experience Martin&Co they struggled to acknowledge most of tenancy law, except that which benefited their own motives.In my experience they took no accountability of their numerous errors and tried to claim the incurred costs of their what I deem as amateur mistakes out of our deposit. In my opinion these mistakes came down to a lack of knowledge within the team and leadership, in my opinion this isn't the behaviour of an honest upfront company, and they should rather deal with their mistakes in a more professional manner.

I have used Martin & Co in Tonbridge to manage my rental property for over 8 years. I always receive a 5 star service from them. Wouldn't want to deal with any agent other than Robert and his team and would not hesitate to recommend their services.

We are new to renting but everybody at Martin and Co. have been so helpful and friendly. There were a few issues when we initially moved in but everything was repaired or replaced without any hassle or stress. Thank you for being such a brilliant letting agency.

Gina Rude and Unprofessional!!

We viewed a property in channel view and clearly this is the worst and most unprofessional agents in the world!The lady Gina was so rude and unprofessional she struggled to even greet us when we arrived the property turned her back on us walked off.We really liked the property and made an offer of £1625 which its clear to see that the agent didn’t know or couldn’t be bothered to present our offer to the landlord and provided no feedback whatsoever regarding why another offer had been accepted.If your a landlord or tenant Avoid this agent at all costs.Im glad we didn’t get the place now knowing what kind of Rude and unprofessional agency would be managing my tenancy!!Disgusting service!
