Martin&Co have been nothing but helpful with my last minute rental property search, when I thought all hope was lost and I wouldn't be able to find a new rental, they were extremely professional, very quick with responding and they kept me in the loop during the whole process. I got everything I needed and more from them! Even though other letting agencies thought I wasn't fit for their criteria, Martin&Co made everything work and came up with multiple solutions to my situation. They are a fantastic team that you can rely on.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Ive rented properties for nigh on 20 years now. Normally Ive never felt the need to leave a review for any as normally all has gone smoothly and any issues have been small. However in the case of Martin and Co, Worcester I will make an exception. From the beginning things didn’t start off terribly well. Forced to accept their Inventory without being able to amend it for any issues we found was the first red flag. All you could do was e-mail your findings and hope they remembered it. Then they described the Oven as having ‘a good appearance’ yet failed to note that it actually didn’t work. The oven thing went on for a while, but then to add insult to injury they booked plumbers to replace some leaky taps that had been reported by the previous tenants. It was bad enough that they replaced the taps in the wrong bathroom, but then when they were forced to come back to fix that mistake they made an even bigger one. In refitting they didn’t seal it properly causing a leak to run down the back of the sink and in to the floor. This then pooled up until eventually the ceiling collapsed in the garage under the weight of the water. Also around this time a mark appeared on the carpet leading to the ensuite, which we believe had been caused by those same plumbers. We actually reported it at the time but unusually we did it by phone instead of email/app. Had we known then what we know now we would have photo’d it and logged the phone call. You see it turns out that Martin and Co failed to log that phone call. Also the agent who answered the call no longer works for the company. Therefore when the time came to get the deposit back they had no record of our report. This ultimately meant that we were blamed for mark, and without any proof it was our word verses theirs. Despite the multiple examples of poor work by the plumbers, it HAD to be our fault. Add to that a couple of pieces of dodgy advice (we HAD to fumigate, advised by their pest control guy that we actually didn’t for instance) and recommending cleaners for the end of tenancy clean who gave bum advice about how much needed to be done (why would we doubt it, being M&C’s preferred cleaner??) just to land the job and what you have is a company with numerous operational question marks. They hired dodgy contractors to carry out their works and when it all then goes sideways they are happy to pass these costs on to the renter. We ended up losing a sizeable chunk of our deposit as a consequence. When we complained to the higher management we were promised a review of the situation, but so far no outcome has been forthcoming. We would therefore recommend to anyone else thinking of renting with these guys to do the following: 1) Report ALL repairs and maintenance as soon as possible. 2) Make sure they are photographed and kept safe in case needed later. 3) ONLY report using E-mail if possible. Even the PropertyFile app turned out to be useless because we lost access as soon as our tenancy was over so we couldn’t go back to find previous house inspection reports. 4) Save all House Inspection reports somewhere safe! 5) If you have to phone make sure you log the time and date of that call and what it was about. They won’t. (Save your phone bills just in case!) 6) When coming to the end of tenancy book your own cleaners. 7) If you need plumbers make sure you ask for Neil and no one else. 8) If you want to avoid all the hassle, rent with someone else……. Good night and Good Luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REBUTTAL TO M&C RESPONSE: SEE PHOTOGRAPH Always a pleasure.....

Thank you for taking time to post your review, clearly any review of less than our normal 4 or 5 stars gives us cause for concern and as such we have looked closely at your comments and respond as follows; Firstly we are fully aware of the issue surrounding the tap and the subsequent leak and with the plumber in question. Whilst the issue was dealt with swiftly and effectively we have subsequently decided no longer to use this plumber. However, as we have advised you previously, the burn marks on the carpet are nothing to do with the plumber we used for replacing the taps. We have discussed this with two plumbers we currently use, they have both said that no dripping or any equipment used to fit a tap would cause such an issue with the carpet. Your initial claim an email was sent to two members of staff reporting this which is not the case and we have no record of receiving such an e-mail(s). Secondly, the cleaning contractor we use and recommend is highly experienced and he would not have advised you whilst you were in the middle of cleaning, that the work was satisfactory as per the inventory as you hadn’t finished cleaning at the time and he is fully aware we carry out a comprehensive check out at the end of the tenancy and report back to you the tenant and to our landlord. I therefore feel your comments are somewhat spurious. A number of contractors visited the property during your tenancy and aside from the two issues mentioned in your review, we received no other complaints from you. Inspection reports are emailed to all tenants, as well as being available on the property portal, your account ID deactivated upon completion of the tenancy due to GDPR. You did not request inspection reports on the check out, as if you had then these would have been provided to you. The fumigation, along with a professional clean, is a standard clause within our tenancy agreement with all tenants who have pets. With regards to the oven, we inspect between tenancies to ensure its cleaned ready for new tenants and has power. The previous tenants hadn’t reported an issue and unfortunately this was not picked up until you reported it. Our electrician was appointed immediately and the delay was as a result of the oven requiring a new part. We feel your comments and your 2 Star review are unjustified nevertheless we wish you well for the future.

Martin and Co are the 'go to' agent

Martin and Co are the 'go to' agent. I had to rent very quickly as my sale completion was imminent. Called by the Worcester office, they treated me as a valued customer, two appointments arranged within hours. Professional service all the way and a huge thanks to Peter, Ellie and Simone for their excellent help.

Renters beware! The contract contains contradictory, unreasonable, irrelevant and borderline illegal clauses that they refuse to change. When moving in they send you the inventory with a request to sign it as proof of receipt, but when you look at the signature declaration it is to say that you agree with it. When pointing out damage that isn't marked on the inventory they refuse to update the document and promise to keep your comments on record instead, but if you've signed the inventory then I imagine that it would be hard to argue that it's wrong if they try to charge you later. 1/5 stars for quality, but 5/5 on the sharkyness scale!NegativeQuality, Professionalism

Thank you for taking the time to post your review Dave C. Our Tenancy Agreement is industry standard and used nationally by The Property Franchise Group network, and yes we are sadly unable to remove or amend any standard clauses within the agreement, but rest assured, our agreements are legal! I do find your comments on the inventory strange, had you read the agreement, it states quite clearly that you have 48 hours to make any amendments which you did, and they were noted. ‘5/5 for sharkiness’ though, really??

The process of booking a tour and applying were all very easy and the people at Martin & Co helped a lot making everything simple. They understood things that may interfere and adapted things to better suit my situation. The rent is very reasonable for what you get, especially within the area. The property is excellent, with only 3 issues that were fixed straight away.

We have been tenants of a property managed by Martin & Co for about seven months and have had several small issues that have needed resolving. They are by far the most efficient and friendly estate agent we have ever dealt with, we can't fault anything! Special mention to Katie for always being professional and handing our concerns on to our landlady straight away.

This agency isn't the best. I'm a private tenant, need to report things not working or in a bad state. Staff weren't very helpful, not listening and ignored my needs. The maintenance man was more helpful and very kind. I know my landlord personally, and he's nice too. Probably that's the reason why I'm not leaving.

Superb, from a new tenant's perspective, in every respect. From the initial enquiry, handled by Peter, through to Kate's painstaking and thorough inventory, to the huge amount of help that Harriet's excellent admin skills gave us, Natalie and I couldn't have asked for a more professionally delivered experience. Thanks to all, and we would heartily recommend Martin & Co Worcester to anyone.

Really disappointing service from Martin & Co when viewing a rental property. No level of customer service. Lettings Manager didn't care that there were issues with the property, 'let as seen' attitude despite there being damage to walls and issues in the bathrooms, snagging issues throughout. Not provided any information on next steps or application process. Waste of my afternoon, having taken time off work to go and view the property.
