Worst letting agent! before we moved into the property by martin and co, we specifically said that we want the rubbish from the garden and the brown bins to be gone, as well as the electricity and gas to be working. we had to wait bloody 10 days for the electricity and gas, and even then, the letting agency only gave us a number to call and pay off the previous tenant's debt. with the rubbish and the bins, even after a month of complaining and begging, still nothing it got to the point that we are embarrassed going to the letting agency and calling them because we have done it so many times

Hi Viktoria. I have looked through our system and we do not seem to have a record of yourself as a tenant. If you were residing in a property with someone else as the lead tenant then please let us know. This is the review page for the Derby branch of Martin&Co and as we are independently owned, we are not directly connected to other branches. If it is with a different office could you please remove the review? If it is with the Derby branch then please contact the office with the property in question on 01332 650068. Thank you

Been the first time i have used Martin and Co it will be my last . From the first day i arranged to to set up a contract with , the staff was so rude and bullyish over the phone , i thought i might have some doing's with them ? As i work away i left my Keys at home i rang them to see if they had a spare set , they charged me £20 i couldnt believe it i could get 6 cut for that . And finally when i left trying to get your deposit back they take a fee of £15 for cleaning what a joke , so dont bother cleaning your room before you leave cos you get charged for it what ever . So that was my first and last time with this company hope this helps people out there if there thinking of using this company !!!!

Dear Michael, I do apologise that you were not happy with being charged £20 for your keys, however we do recommend on check-in with us, that you get a spare set cut for yourself as we do charge £10 per replacement key as you are given your first set of keys for free. There is a check in and check out report conducted before and after the start of your tenancy, and we do ask you to leave the room in the condition you found it in order to reclaim your full deposit. Our property manager felt that your room was not suitable for a new tenant to move into, therefore a deep clean was conducted. If you would like to discuss these issues further then please do get in contact with the Derby branch on 01332 650068. Thanks

Amatuer agents who haven't got a clue what they're doing! Avoid at all costs. Rude staff who just fob landlords off.

Dear Bill Chambers, I cannot find any record of you on our system, as a landlord or a tenant. At Martin&Co we are a franchise and do not have a direct link with other branches. Could it be you are dealing with a different Martin&Co in the UK? If this is not the case, I would appreciate if you would get in contact with the office on 01332 650068 with further details of your property, so we can help resolve any issues. Many thanks, The Martin&Co Team.

By far the worst and most incompetent letting agency I have ever had to deal with. The attitude of the staff is atrocious and one has to chase them up a million times in order to have a minute issue addressed and dealt with. They've honestly only achieved that one star by default as there is not an option to accredit them with the zero stars they so truly deserve. I would not advise anyone to opt to use their services even if they threw in a free kidney.

Dear Simon Tim, I can see from our records that you have been in tenancy with Martin&Co for just over five years now. I cant see any issues regarding outstanding maintenance and I have confirmed this with my assistant property manager. The notes saved to your record suggest no outstanding issues also. Could you please call the office to discuss the matter on 01332 650068 and we will be happy to help. Many thanks, The Martin&Co Team

Very slow service. Slow at giving a reference to move out of their property, even slower at refunding a deposit. would not recommend.

Hello Martin&Co (Derby) is a family run business and we were concerned to read that you feel you have experienced a slow service. We have investigated, and can confirm that your deposit was dealt with in line with Deposit Protection Service guidelines. We have no record of you requesting a reference, and although we are under no obligation to provide a reference we would be happy to do so in the future should you require one. Please contact the office directly on 01332 650068.

Absolutely disgusting service! Very unprofessional and rude! Having to constantly pay their made up charges and they never reported the things that need repairing!! No contact from the landlord ever! I wouldn't ever recommend this company as they tried to con us out of the property after taking the deposit and tried letting another couple have it even those we was about to move in that day! The man who showed is around the property was hungover and smelt of alcohol and he didn't know anything about the area, council tax, rent, he knew nothing!! Absolutely unless!! They let themselves in to the property whenever they want without asking even though the contract says they should give 24 hours notice! Awful service!!!

Dear Shannon, I am slightly confused with this review as you moved into the property with us in March, and are still currently a tenant. As you are still residing in the property until next year we would not be able to return any deposit to you yet. I can assure you that no member of staff at Martin&Co would ever come to work hungover, and we pride ourselves in being experts of the local area. The staff member who did your viewing, previously lived close to your property so would have a good insight of the local amenities. You have an inspection with us next week (rearranged by yourselves to accommodate your availability) so please feel free to bring up any maintenance-related issues to my property manager, or alternatively please call the office to report these on 01332 650068. Many thanks, The Martin&Co Team

Very poor management and after i left the house still they didn’t pay my deposit money back !

Hello thanks for taking time to leave a review, however Martin&Co did not manage the property you have been living in, the landlord managed it. Please contact your landlord directly to advise regarding your deposit.

Abysmal service, rude staff, dismissive and unhelpful. You could go into the office and wait ages for them to even acknowledge you. Deducted money from my deposit with FALSE CLAIMS. Left us tenants to clean the aftermath of a major flood on our own with no help from cleaners. DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY WHATSOEVER. ABYSMAL AND RUDE, INCOMPETENT STAFF.
