I've found Martin & Co to be very helpful and responsive throughout my tenancy. They were always quick to fix minor problems and super quick to respond to emergency situations eg being locked out. Friendly and efficient service from start to finish.

I have used Martin & Co for a number of years now for all our properties and they have always placed great tenants and coupled with a great service from Antony, David and Rose I wont need to look any further. The rates are reasonable and as far as I know they are the only agent around that DO NOT profit from the trades people they send to your property. Thank you for your great work. Keep it up!

We came to Martin and co over five years ago when a one man band letting agency tried to run off with some overdue rent and Antony helped us to switch the property over to Martin and co, thus saving the tenants deposit and us a lot of money just before he went bust. Since then they have managed several other properties for us in a very professional and ethical manner. Any problems ( that seem to go with the territory !) are dealt with swiftly and I have no problem in recommending them to any prospective landlord looking for a trouble free letting agent.

We had one or two unfortunate incidents with our rented flat over the past 16 months which Antony and his staff handled with great professionalism. We couldn't have had a better service as tenants.

Good morning Donna, I am very sorry to hear you have not been able to find out more details about a property you have seen - may I ask which site you saw the property on? All of our listings go live on Rightmove and Zoopla as well as our website centrally from our system which generates this automatically. I cannot see any property that we have listed elsewhere that isn't on our website? As this is the only way you have contacted us, if you could please call us on 01242 220600 or email cheltenham@martinco.com we'd be delighted to help get to the bottom of this for you.

We rented our house in Cheltenham out for a year with Martin & Co as fully managing agents. Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. The tenants made many unauthorised alterations both externally and internally to the property. These alterations included drilling into internal and external walls, taking up kitchen floor tiles, putting up shelves in the front garden even though the house is in a conservation area, replacing stone slabs in the garden, removing the washing machine even after they had been told that this was not allowed due to it still being under warranty. The tenants also installed locks on the bathroom windows, but did not leave the keys, so now we cannot open those windows. Martin & Co did not inform us of these alterations, and frankly they did not seem to have noticed them, but instead we discovered them when we were sent photos of the property. We raised concerns several times pointing out that the alterations were unauthorised and that we had no way of knowing to which standard they had been made, but were told that this would all be put right when the tenants moved out and anything that wasn't put right would be taken out of the deposit. In March 2021, we informed Martin & Co that we wanted to give the tenants notice, but were then told that this could be seen as a 'revenge eviction', which is when a landlord evicts a tenant because the tenant has asked for repairs to be made in the house. We had never said no to any repairs which needed doing in the house, so this was simply very strange advice coming from a supposedly reputable letting agent. In fact, the tenants reported a problem with damp on one wall in November 2020, which we said to go ahead with and investigate, but by August 2021, Martin & Co had still not done anything about this. When the tenants moved out, some of the alterations were put right, but many were not. Very little was claimed from the deposit. I was told that we could not claim anything for the stone slabs, because that could be seen as for the 'betterment of the property'. So now we are left with bathroom windows which we can't open, external shelves which shouldn't be there, stone slabs in the garden which don't match in colour etc. We did not feel that Martin & Co represented us, we felt that they were constantly on the side of the tenants. There was no attention to detail, wrong advice was given and on several occasions I was interrupted when speaking to them on the phone. I would not recommend them as letting agents and we have now changed to a different agent.
