Fatmir was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process of buying our new home. He was professional, responsive and incredibly helpful from start to finish, always keeping us updated and doing everything he could to keep things moving smoothly. He was easy to reach whenever we had questions, dealt with any issues quickly, and genuinely went above and beyond to help us get the purchase over the line. The whole experience was made much easier because of him. I couldn’t recommend Fatmir highly enough. An excellent estate agent and a real credit to Martyn Gerrard. Thank you again for all your help!

Martyn Gerrard are exceptional estate agents. We had put an offer in on a home we wanted to buy but needed to sell our 2 bedroom maisonette to finance it. The pressure was on but within 1 week Martyn Gerrard found us a great buyer and negotiated his offer up to an amount that worked for us. The buyer they found was high quality as well, moving quickly themself but also being patient in our chain when needed. Martyn Gerrard managed the whole sales process seamlessly. They are more expensive compared to some competitors (we got valuations from 2 other firms who would have charged less) but they are worth every penny. I don’t think anyone else could have delivered the results they have! Will recommend them to everyone I know. Special shoutout to Adriano who is just exceptional!

We contacted this agency today about a rental property in cockfosters London and had a very concerning experience. I was told that before even arranging a viewing, I had to complete an “income check” by opening my banking app and following their instructions so they could verify my finances in real time. I was also told that if I refused, they would not show me the flat. This is not normal or acceptable practice in the UK. On the same day, my English friend called about the exact same property. He was not asked to do any of these checks, even when he mentioned he could provide payslips. There was no mention of any banking app access or unusual verification process. This difference in treatment is extremely concerning and raises serious questions about discrimination and possible racism based on background or accent. Everyone should be treated fairly and equally when enquiring about a property. I am aware of my legal rights and will consider reporting this behaviour to the relevant authorities and the local council. Practices like this should be properly investigated to ensure tenants are protected from discrimination and unsafe requests for personal financial information.

Agent replied · 22 August 2026

Good morning Orhan Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take all feedback seriously and are concerned to hear about your experience. We must clarify that we DO NOT require income checks prior to arranging viewings. We believe our team member was explaining the income requirements should you wish to proceed with a property, and that our tenant referencing process, carried out by an independent third party, includes income verification using Open Banking, which is a regulated and secure way to share financial information. This should always be clearly explained and never presented as mandatory before booking a viewing. We are very concerned by your comments regarding inconsistent treatment. As an agency, we provide a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory service to all applicants, regardless of background, and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination. We would appreciate the opportunity to investigate this matter further. Please contact us directly with more details of your interaction (including the date, time, and who you spoke with), so we can review the situation internally and take appropriate action if necessary. Thank you again for raising this issue.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for quite some time, and I’m honestly a bit embarrassed it’s taken me a whole year to get around to it, but life had other plans! We completed on our house last year, right in the middle of a very hectic period that included the arrival of our baby and a full round of renovations. It’s only now, with things finally settling down, that I can properly reflect on just how great the experience was. From start to finish, the service we received from James at MG Whetstone was outstanding. Buying a home can be stressful at the best of times, but throughout the entire process, James was professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive. He kept everything moving smoothly, communicated clearly at every stage, and always made us feel like a priority, even when things got complicated (as they inevitably do!). What really stood out was his honesty and genuine approach. There was never any pressure, just helpful advice and a real understanding of what we were looking for. That made a huge difference and gave us confidence in every decision we made. Looking back now, a year on, we’re so happy in our home and genuinely grateful for the role James played in helping us get here. Even though this review is long overdue, it’s very well deserved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James to anyone buying or selling, an absolute pleasure to deal with!

A year ago, James at Martyn Gerrard helped us purchase our home, and we can’t speak highly enough of him. Throughout a complicated transaction, his expertise, attentiveness to every aspect of the deal, and determination to see things through made all the difference. If you’re thinking of selling, James is your guy!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The team at Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents have been great with special mention to Suraj and Lee, as their consistent back and forth calls, information and updates made my first time rental easier, with all relevant info relayed so I understood the workings of the market as a foreigner in UK. Suraj was great in looking for options suitable to our needs and leaving out the unnecessary viewings that did not tick boxes on our list. Thank you for the serviceman hope to be in use of them once again in the future.

As a first-time landlord, I was understandably a bit apprehensive about the process, but working with Lee has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He was consistently polite, responsive, and incredibly helpful, making what could have been a stressful experience smooth and straightforward. Lee took the time to walk me through each stage, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. His professionalism and attention to detail gave me real confidence in the decisions I was making. It's clear he genuinely cares about both landlords and tenants, and his approachable manner made the whole experience much more enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lee to anyone looking for a letting agent, especially if you're new to the process.

I had a very concerning experience with this agency before even being able to arrange a viewing. I was told that before they could show me the flat, I had to complete an “income check” by opening my banking app and following their instructions so they could verify my finances in real time. I was also told that if I wasn’t willing to do this, they would not proceed with the viewing. This is not normal or acceptable practice in the UK. No legitimate letting agent or referencing company should require live access to your bank account or pressure you into sharing sensitive financial information just to view a property. Because of this, I did not feel safe and decided not to continue. I would strongly advise others to be very cautious and never open your banking app or share financial details in this way. Proper referencing should be done securely using documents through recognised channels, not through live access to your personal accounts.

Adem · 22 April 2026

Agent replied · 22 August 2026

Hi Adem, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It's important to us that our procedures are explained clearly, and on this occasion, it seems we didn’t do that as well as we should have. We’re sorry for any confusion caused. We must clarify that we DO NOT require income checks prior to arranging viewings. Our team member was intending to explain the income requirements should you wish to proceed with a property, and that our tenant referencing process, carried out by an independent third party, includes income verification using Open Banking, which is a regulated and secure way to share financial information. While our colleague was aiming to be transparent about the next steps, we appreciate that this may not have been communicated as clearly as it should have been. Your feedback is genuinely appreciated and will help us provide training to our team, so we can ensure clearer communication and avoid such misunderstandings in the future.

We used MG Estate Agents and in particular, Stewart, Declan, and Emily during the marketing and sale of our house and I must say they were a fantastic team. From the moment we met them, their friendliness and professionalism shone through. They went above and beyond to ensure that our house was marketed effectively and were proactive in their approach keeping us updated on progress at each stage of the sale. Overall, I cannot recommend, Declan, Stewart and Emily highly enough. Their friendly and professional approach, combined with extensive knowledge of the market, made the entire experience smooth and as stress-free as possible. If you're looking for a team of agents who genuinely care about their clients and deliver exceptional service, look no further than Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents and this remarkable trio.

I would highly recommend him and his Team, particularly Sophie and Alan who also helped in the conveyancing process. 10/10!

My daughter was living in a flat and wanted to move to a house. We referred the case to Martyn Gerrard, (who had already successfully sold our son’s flat), among other Estate Agents. Martyn Gerrard where utterly professional and succeeded in both the sale of the flat and in securing a new house for my daughter. The person leading the effort was Declan Morgan. Declan is polite, patient, professional and efficient. He is simply the best estate agent I have ever met and a most likable individual. He guided us through the process, patiently, politely to its successful conclusion. Well done, Declan
