As students, I would never recommend letting through Martin&Co. Since we moved into the property in September we have felt completely ignored by the agency. We’ve been lied to about the furniture coming with the house and upon questioning we were told it was our problem to sort. When we first moved in there were about 10 different bins in our garden that hadn’t been removed which took them over a month to discard of, as well as a shopping trolley left in our back garden. Matting&co also tried to charge us for the boiler being re-pressurised within our first few days of living there which should’ve been done before we moved into the property. Upon request the agency gave us incorrect information as to whether or not there was a top up meter meaning we paid double the amount for bills for 2 months. When we first viewed the house back in 2021 we were told the house would be painted by the time we moved in. This has still only been partly completed with many failed attempts to finish while we have been present in the property. We were then led to believe it would be completed while we were away for Christmas as they said it would be the least inconvenient time for us, however, it has still not been done. To top all this off, our agent emailed to say there had been an error on our tenancy agreement they gave us to sign and we needed to move out after 10 months rather than 12. Then they said this was so that they could do work on the property and then they said that this was because they needed to tell the new tenants when they could move in. In all of this we have never felt like a priority to Martin&Co. Going through uni as well as dealing with all of this has been incredibly stressful. Do not rent through them if you’re students, they will try and take advantage of you.
