No response at all I saw a property from this agency, when I went inside the agency and I asked them to book a viewing for a property , they said give me your details we will call you back but nothing happened.

I’d rather be homeless than use martin & Co again. Phillip is a fraud and tried to scam me out of thousands of pounds until I showed proof and dates of statements and they gave me my money back. If you don’t believe me do a simple google search of the name “Phillip Skorochod” and your see all the proof you need this man has been in the news multiple times for scamming and being a scumbag. Do not use this horrible company. If you hear the name, Phillip run as far as you can.

Save yourself the trouble and find another estate agent, one of the staff was incredibly rude displaying abusive language towards my self and others. Accused me of being a liar despite having 5 whitenesses who heard exactly what was said and also threatened me as I was walking out the door as I will not just stand there and take being shouted at by basically a stranger. Unprofessional, all the other staff are lovely though but there’s always one // ADDITION: furthermore the manager of this ‘professional’ company tried to charge me £300 extra for rent I had already paid for. Despite being the most disrespectful, unprofessional person I have ever come across in my life. Just don’t bother at all. Waste of time and money. - Thank you for your response Phillip or team but again, I am not lying and I’m 100% sure I know which estate agents I used.

Dear Smol Person, you have posted your review for the wrong estate agency. Please check in your tenancy agreement who your letting agents are and kindly delete your comments here. Feel free to check our properties online should you wish to become our tenant. Kind regards, Martin and Co Bournemouth.

Called to view a 2 bed flat ,spoke to Dan who said he would call me with a time for next day that was 1 week ago! Never heard back so called again to be told they had viewings booked! I asked if they were an Estate agent? Guy hung up on me! I would certainly not sell with these!! The following morning I received a call from the agents asking why I had wrote the bad review asking me to remove it to which I declined. Later I received an email accusing me of being frustrated and sarcastic to their schoolboy doing work experience which is complete rubbish! This poor schoolboy should not have been answering calls having no experience of answering questions relating to multi million pound businesses. beware anyone who writes bad reviews about this agent your going to get lies thrown at you!

Dear Karen, Without Prejudice This is my final letter in respect of the complaint you made yesterday. I can confirm I have called you earlier today to speak about the issue and the poor review you left on our Google account. Whilst I understand your frustration that you were not able to arrange a viewing on the property on your desired date this was not possible due to the property being tenanted. We were unable to gain access until the tenant gave us authority to do so, to comply with the landlord and tenants act and as per the terms of tenancy agreement. I can confirm a block viewing was finally confirmed by the tenant yesterday for today’s date. Please note all enquiries for the property were saved to arrange for a viewing once a viewing slot has been confirmed by the tenant. This was explained to you on the call when we spoke on Friday. I can confirm this as we are required to make notes on all our calls. You called the office yesterday whilst I was out on viewings and spoke with my Colleague who is currently with the company on work experience, when the agent tried to assist you in identifying the property you were looking for “Columbia Road” to which he asked if this was the property listed for £335,000, at this moment in time we have two buy to let properties on the market listed on Columbia Road. Whilst trying to assist your call you became increasingly frustrated and sarcastic with my colleague who was trying to help you. Once the correct property was identified he asked if you would like to view this as a block viewing had now been confirmed for 18/08/2022. Instead of responding in a sensible way you began being sarcastic with him and he broke down. The phone was put on hold whilst a senior member of our company was being informed about the problem and during this time you decided to close the call. We have a zero-tolerance policy on abuse towards members of staff and you were certainly being abusive to a young person and instead of helping him you did the opposite. Even this morning when I approached you about a viewing you were unhelpful and did not wish to proceed. I think under the circumstances an email of apology sent to Lawrence would be sufficient to put this matter to rest. Yours sincerely Daniel Cobb

Woman who answered phone was extremely rude and racist - I explained I wanted to sell a property in Bournemouth - she then made a big deal about not being able to spell my name - it’s a common Asian name - even though I spelled it out to her clearly three times how tone was aggressive throughout - note to the manager you should ensure staff have basic manners

Martin and co Bournemouth are low lights scum How dare they have the right to literally lock a tennant out of there house when the payed up to may And then to say you had heard that someone broke in Well surely your first port of call would be contact the Tennant direct I would highly recommend that anyone looking to rent should avoid Martin and co As there communication skills and professionalism fails to exist What a bloody joke

Dear Andy, We were informed that the door to the above property was left ajar and we send a contractor out immediately to check the security of the property. The contractor believes that either the padlock had not been put back on or someone had tried forcing the door. He refitted the staple and put on a new lock. He left a note on the door to explain his actions and for you to collect the keys from our offices. To suggest we broke in is a very strong allegation. You have already agreed to give us the keys back on Monday so what benefit was it to our company? The door was broken some weeks ago and we understand the whole locking and handle mechanism was kicked through. You simply put a piece of hardboard over the hole and tacked on two staples and a padlock. These fire doors are expensive and it is your responsibility to replace it. We also believe we have been more than fair to you both during your breakup in arranging for you to cancel the current AST (tenancy agreement) when it has almost eleven months to run. Please do remember that we have acted in a fair, sympathetic and professional manner through this difficult time for you both. We are endeavouring to get the property rented out again as soon as possible to reduce any further exposure to rent payments. Kind regards, Martin and Co Bournemouth team
