The whole process from start to finish has been wonderful and pain free.The fees weren't extortionate in comparison to so many other letting agents in the area. I honestly couldn't recommend them enough! Especially Amber, she was a n absolute star! !

Throughout the past 18 months we have sold 3 Flats via Martin & Co. Dealing with leasehold sales, sitting tenants, frustrating legal delays can cause stress and irritation. The Team at Martin & Co remained calm and constant.Special thanks to originally Jemma and then Hanna & Tamsin. We got there in the end and were able to move to the next stage of our Investment Planning - Thank you Team

Just rented a flat from Martin and co in Bournemouth and they helped make the whole thing much easier. Holly was very lovely and worked hard to get viewings to suit my schedule and Mike was very friendly and helpful when it came to handing over the keys - unfortunately once I moved in my experience changed. They started being useless at getting back to me and I've had to chase them on numerous occasions. I also feel charging £24 referencing fee for effectively 20 mins work is disgusting, especially after already paying a substantial amount to a new estate agents in order to move. It was even more frustrating having to pay the fee after learning that the new estate agents don't charge their tenants and it appears that different branches of Martin and Co also don't charge a referencing fee. Furthermore, I was shocked to see such differences in charges between branches of Martin and Co with Bournemouth charging significantly more. This has definitely put me off ever dealing with them again in the future.

Dear Lucy, We regret that you feel like this, however we are not a licensed referencing brokers, and like all letting agents, we have to refer all referencing to an outside source whose charges are passed on to the tenants. You will find that all Martin&Co branches charge similar costs, price differences are due to the variations in the referencing companies pricing. With our referencing fees the landlord gets all protection against tenancy default and regular information on tenants' change of circumstances. This gives added protection to all parties. We have checked our call management system and we could not find any details on your missed calls? Should you wish to discuss this further we welcoming you to drop in for a cup of coffee in our offices, Kind regards Martin&Co Bournemouth Team

The worst estate agent I have dealt with in 20 years. First, I was pushed out of the flat after three years of renting because they refused to add a six-month break clause while renewing the contract, as we had done in previous occasions, and instead they asked for a 12-month break clause. Obviously, they then put the property in the market for £175 more a month, an increase that they could have not put forward with me as a tenant. Second, they kept £350 from my deposit for cleaning a one-bedroom flat that was already cleaned. They were intransigent, rude, aggressive, and acted like thugs. The goverment should really keep an eye on how estate agents such a Martin & Co in its Bournemouth branch operate.

Dear Lorena, why are we the worst estate agents when you have refused to adhere to the agreed renewal terms of your tenancy? You agreed terms and then refused to sign the tenancy agreement? Is the Landlord not important to you ? The Landlord is a human being just like you who has worked hard to purchase the property and pays a mortgage. We were nothing but exceptionally good in handling all your problems for the past 3 years, up until you moved out recently. You and your pet cat have moved in a property cleaned to the highest of standards, why don’t you expect for the landlord to require the property is delivered back in the same condition as it was originally delivered to you? Why did you not clean the property before you moved out? You made all sort of excuses. We even negotiated a reduction in the costs with the cleaning company and you apologised for the state you left the property in. These are all documented in your emails, check-in and check-out reports? Your comments about us being rude and aggressive is unacceptable, we deducted only the full costs of cleaning the property back to the level it was delivered to you in the first place. You state we are intransigent but you only just moved out on the 1st of the month and we have agreed terms 7 days later and you have your deposit balance being returned as we speak. Please rest assure we adhere to all estate agents governing rules. We win awards as a top level company in Bournemouth and our attention to detail is perhaps something you wish for us to overlook. It is a shame that you did not put yourself not even for a second in the Landlord’s shoes. Perhaps a lesson learnt!

Guys, Please stay away from this estate agent. They talk nicely when you come for lettings and if you want to end the tenancy, then you are gone. Forget about your deposit and they also have practice of 2 years rental agreement and they give 500 pages of booklet to sign and by the time we read and sign, you would exhaust and i had to pay 3 months rental even if you give 2 months notice upfront. So please stay away from this greedy agent.

Dear Praveen, I am really sorry but your Google review is wholly incorrect, your landlord self-managed the property and our companies role was simply to find a tenant for the landlord. The landlord provided you with a beautifully refurbished three-bedroom house, on a two-year contract, in August 2022. After 14-months, you decided that you wanted to move to Milton Keynes with your family. Despite being on a two-year agreement, the landlord reluctantly and quite reasonably agreed to an early release for a small payment to cover his costs to find a new tenant. Your complaint against my company is not right as we do not manage the property, or deal with decisions made by the landlord. Any complaint you may have should be directed to the landlord who’s details you hold. I would recommend that you remove this review as it is without substance and has a derogatory implication on my company.
