The worst agency ever. Agents irresponsible and have no clue what are they doing at all. Only thing that we needed was to add one more tenant on our current contract. We applied two months ago, paid 500£ a month ago (which is ridiculous amount of money to add one tenant on a contract) and it is not settled yet. We've been in agency at least 5 times, we're calling every other day and every time we get different agent who has no idea what are we talking about. Because of their ignorance my fiancee cannot apply for NIN, cannot make bank account and cannot do anything in this country. When you see Martin & Co I sincerely recommend you to run! Ridiculous!

We've been living in a flat rented by Martin & Co Harborne. Everything was ok when we were living there. The big problem started when the contract finished. The company did the check out and they verified that everything was correct. They said to us everything was ok and that they needed to communicate it to the landlord to return the deposit. We still waiting for after 3 weeks!!!! And we trying to contact with few Martin&Co's workers and no one answer us. It is shameful... When we rented the flat they were very quick to make documents and we had to pay them but now that they are the ones who have to give us back the money nobody answers us. Very disappointed with them I hope to have a solution soon or I will have to report it.

We had a property that was fully managed by Martin & Co. in Harborne. They told us they would have the property visits and send us the reports, we had to chase these so call reports on several occasions. Also issues wasn't mention in most reports, it is just a tick list. After tenants have left they advised us tenant has left the property in an 'acceptable condition' when we visit the property the carpet smell of wee with stains everywhere, stickers on all surfaces that we can see, condensation in living room and bedroom (gas central heating is in good working order), Kitchen draws all broken and cuts including kitchen worktops (this was a brand NEW kitchen when tenant moved in), and rubbish left inside and outside the property that filled nearly a full skip. When we spoken to the agent and questioning these issues, they just want the landlord to release full deposit back to tenants, like it was the landlord fault that the tenants has left the property in a bad state. When we as the landlord paid all this fees for our rental property to be look after by staff that is not helpful at all. We would not recommend this company to anyone that is looking for a decent letting agent. Now they will come up with some excuse, 'oh its the tenants....' or 'oh we have try our best...' we shall see what they say.

Hi Elton, Apologies that you had to chase us to receive the management visit reports. The tenants didn't leave the property in a very good state and the check out report carried out by the third party inventory company picked up these issues. We haven't advised that the tenants left the property in an acceptable condition as this is not the case and we are currently making a claim from the tenants deposit for cleaning carpets and the other issues. I believe this is all now in hand but if there's anything else I can do please give me a call on 0121 427 2020. Regards, Raj Bedi (Director)

I have a been a tenet for last few years and it's absolutely disgraceful. To get simple things sorted you need to chase them many times and eventually give up. Can't wait to leave them.

absolute trash of a company - landlords and tenants, save yourself some money and work with someone else as they only want your money. Disgusting people

Hi Charlotte, we don't have any record of you having ever dealt with our company. As your negative review was posted within 1 minute of another negative review by Natalie P Morin who again we have had no dealings with, we believe that these reviews are from a competitor or someone with another agenda. I have therefore reported the review to Google as being fake.

Awful experience so far. The leasing agent who showed us our property told us the garage was part of the agreement; however it was not. The property was in a horrific condition when we moved in and had not been cleaned properly. When the electric shower stopped working three days ago we filled out their online maintenance form, but did not hear from them until we called them today to chase up on it. They told us an electrician would come today around 5:30pm to fix it, then called at that time to let us know he would come no later than 6:30pm. He has not showed up and we are late for an engagement. Unacceptable and unprofessional customer service.

Hi Gloria, apologies about us not getting back to you quick enough about the problem with your shower. Unfortunately we had an issue with our online reporting system for a couple of days which meant we were not receiving the maintenance issues being logged by tenant over that period. Also I understand that the electrician eventually came at 7pm so he was 90 mins late, which isn't fair on you and I apologise for the inconvenience this caused you. I hope that moving forward everything goes more smoothly. If it doesn't for any reason then please call me directly and I will do all I can to sort it. Regards, Raj Bedi (Director)
