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.

Was a tenant for 13 years on a property managed by martin and co and I have to say I'm very disappointed in the way they dealt with my deposit when we left. We barely got anything back due to a frankly ridiculous cleaning bill totalling £400+ and other reasons. Even though we spent days cleaning the property and for 13 years of living there we left it as clean and tidy as it could have have been due to simply wear and tear.
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.
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.
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.
