Do NOT use them to sell your property, what a waste of our time!!! Our house was under offer a month ago and we paid solicitor fee to progress the sale. However we only found out today that our buyer pulled out long time ago, but they never informed us. No email or phone call envidence showing that they informed us. Full of lies!! Wasting our time, now we can't proceed with our next house purchase. The manager is rude, the emails she sent was most with rude tone of the voice, never being polite and friendly, shame for being in a service industry!!!

I am sorry your experience was not to our usual 5* standard. There seems to have been a breakdown in communication somewhere along the line as we did write to you and try to call. We will, however, amend our processes to ensure this situation is not repeated.

Rang every day for a week leaving messages and had zero response, we then tried one last time only to be told the property has gone. So disappointed. Never had to deal with a service this bad before.NegativeResponsiveness

We are sorry you missed out on this property. We did leave a voicemail and sent an email for you but our properties do let very quickly and when you responded it was too late.

We rented a property with Martin and Co Medway for 18 month's. We were originally told that we would have to sign up for a year and then it would become a rolling monthly contract. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) they went back on their word after a year saying that the landlord would only accept us as tenants on another 12 month contract. We were hoping to move house to be closer to our daughters school but had not found anywhere suitable so we asked if we could just sign a 6 month contract which they agreed to at the cost of £90 administration fee!! When we first moved into the property it had not been decorated or cleaned to a reasonable standard and the garden was full of rubbish left behind by the old tenants. We asked for the rubbish to be removed (as we had small children) and were told that we could take it to the tip ourselves! A few days after moving in we noticed a mouse trap in the airing cupboard and some chewed marks around the door frame. We told Martin and co that we believed there might be mice in the property and we had to prove that we hadn't brought them with us as apparently it's not the landlords problem!! The bedrooms were full of damp and Martin and Co's solution was advising us to clean it off! The only time they actually had someone come out was when my son started to experience very bad asthma attacks due to the black mould in his bedroom. On another occasion my 6 yr old daughter went to open the garden gate and the wall and gate collapsed! Luckily she jumped out of the way as she could've been seriously hurt by the brick wall and iron gate! Martin and Co sent an email apology but the landlord didn't care and left the wall and gate for months like that before finally getting it repaired. The carpet in the property was the cheapest of cheap and had nails coming through it (which we kept catching our heels on). When we mentioned this to Martin and co they sent the landlord around with a hammer to 'bash them back in!' We always paid our rent well in time and we left their property cleaner then when we first moved in but Martin and co still deducted £40 from our deposit for a 'small pen mark' and 'mould in the bathroom'. Both were believed to have been there when we first moved in but not noted on the inventory. However the person who carried out our inventory marked them as queries but Martin & Co wouldn't listen and insisted that we paid the £40 as 'compensation' to the landlord!! We have also seen that the rent has been reduced dramatically since we moved out of the property (by £45 per month!) However when we were living at the property our rent continued to rise each year!! To be honest Martin and Co Medway do not even deserve a 1 star review!! The fees are extortionate and when we had issues it took them weeks to respond (if at all!). The person who carried out our check out commented on how well we had looked after the property and how the garden was much improved but Martin & Co still insisted on charging us for some minor general wear and tear (which were queried on the inventory report!). My advice - avoid Martin and Co Medway at all costs!!

I am sorry that your experience with Martin & Co was not ideal. I would be happy to discuss this if you would please call the Branch Manager. There have been some obvious misunderstandings in your experience and I would like to have the opportunity to explain these to you in more depth.

They are the most rubbish people in the world they don't listen to what you say and when you do say that you are going to go court with them that's when they take action, I told them there was mould in my room on how many occasions and I'm moving out and they still haven't sorted out the problem. If you can find the same flat you want with a different agency then I advise you to do so.
