A quick review of my experience with Martin and Co thus far, 7 weeks after my tenancy ended:- 7-4-19 - still a tenant I go to the place and find heating on full, food left out to rot, already had a mice infestation, spillages all over kitchen counters, left bathroom window unlocked and slightly ajar, drawers had been opened and gone through. I sent all photos and asked for everything to be in writing. 12-4-19 - they finally respond and say on their system I took the keys back on 25th of March. A LIE, I posted them through letterbox with photos. 16-4-19 I send email requesting gas meters readings as gas company charged me another month despite me saying I’ve moved. 20-4-19 - they respond with the INCORRECT gas reading, 13 days since complaint lodged and there has been no acknowledgement of it. 27-4-19 - I complain again after 20 days, warning I would take it further. 4-5-19 - after ignoring me for a further 8 days, they email saying he’s “chasing up deposit” 16-5-19 - no acknowledgement of request after 39 days. Hasn’t contacted me since 4th May. Time to take it up with Property ombudsman as per advice from citizens advice. Horrific treatment of a former tenant and absolutely no acknowledgement at all.

Dear Fred, We're extremely disappointed that you evidently feel that we have not delivered the end of tenancy experience that you would expect. We do acknowledge that in this instance our post-tenancy communication has not been as effective as we would have liked it to be. We also understand that the length of time for a deposit to be released can be a source of frustration. We have tried to call and email on numerous occasions to apologise to you for our delay in communicating with you but also to address some of the factual inaccuracies that you have highlighted. You should be aware that deposits are held within the Deposit Protection Service on behalf of a landlord and we have no authority to release without their explicit authority. Whilst we do try to progress matters in as timely manner as is possible and encourage decisions to be taken by landlords, we do understand former tenants frustrations when release takes longer than anticipated. If you really do want us to explain issues and investigate the concerns that you have, please do give me a call on 01752 255 255 so that we can draw matters to a satisfactory close for all concerned. Kind Regards, Chris Whitaker (Managing Director)
