Made an appointment to view their advertised property 2 days prior before the actual viewing. The lady that took my call did NOT put this booking in their diary nor made any parties aware of the viewing. I have travelled to the property this morning and waited outside the house, called up Martin & Co and they replied that they have forgotten to put this in their diary. Useless & Complete waste of my Time !!

I went to view a property on 10/6/22 and estate agent, Michael, would not let me view the property due to being 10minutes late for the appointment. He had not told me that I had 10mins to view the property and having told him that I'd travelled far he still asked me to rearrange to another date. I found this rude and not accommodating, especially because he had not said that I'd only have 10minutes to view the property. My reviews therefore are not views of the property but of Michael, whom I found to be quite rude and unhelpful.

Sorry you had a negative experience Winston. Sometimes our agents have tight diaries and we can't impact everyone else in the diary because one person is running late. Well, we could, but it wouldn't be fair to everyone else that was on time. Sometimes we can, and will, wait for people, but it wasn't possible on that day I'm afraid. Not sure we deserve a 1 star review because you were late though.

I would not recommend buying a house through this agent. My experience of them was anything but positive I would even mention the word "cowboys". First time buyers who do not know the process of buying a house should beware! Update: James... U tried to persuade me not to buy surveys because you already knew it would reveal the existing problems that were not visible. You tried to pressure my solicitor for a quick sale before the end of summer as you knew that winter weather would reveal the significant damp in the house. On top of this you told me that the damp professional was not supposed to reveal the issues that they found. The the list goes on.NegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value

Hi Rachel, that’s a disappointing review. I’m sorry you decided not to complete the purchase, another new buyer did not recognise the same concerns you had regarding the property and it is about to exchange. Unfortunately Victorian properties do reveal issues in their surveys, it is not realistic to expect vendors to remedy issues observed in a survey which do not require immediate attention but have been noted. It might be better that you look at new builds instead. Cowboys seems unfair. We were professional throughout and even went above and beyond arranging for contractors to attend to quote for works that you felt were needed. Good luck in your search. Happy Friday.

I had a very negative experience renting with Martin & Co Crystal Palace. Not only were maintenance issues ignored at the property I was renting for 18 months but I found one staff member in particular to be duplicitous and bullying. Martin & Co may pull out all the stops if you are buying a property with them but if you are renting then you may receive the same shoddy treatment. I eventually quit the property in question after a 10% rent hike was implemented when the same thing had happened 12 months previously. I would not recommend Martin & Co for tenants in the private rented sector.

Dear Google User240, We are very sorry that you had this experience. In relation to maintenance issues, all matters are reported to landlords in a timely manner. Unfortunately we cannot make landlords carry out repairs and upgrades, even when we think they would be appropriate. Similarly, it is for landlords to determine rent levels, although we do offer guidance, we follow instructions on rent levels. If a member of the team behaved in a manner less professional than we require, and you should expect to receive, we can only apologise. Please do raise this with the team, we have a complaints procedure in place and will consider any comments you wish to raise, so that we can ensure all of our customers are treated properly. We do feel that we give tenants, landlords, buyers and sellers the best service we can, if we fell short for you, then that is not good enough and we once again apologise.
