Reasonable Experience.

4.00 /5

Recently rented through Martin and Co and found them very helpful and responsive. A bit more information on the progress of my offer, the next steps and the estate agent fees would have been helpful, but aside from that I didn't have any issues and would happily rent with them again.

I am a landlord and have recently used Martin & Co to find a tenant for my newly refurbished flat. My experience has been a good one as they found suitable tenants very quickly and kept me informed throughout the whole process. Special thanks to Amy, David and Peter.

not very friendly or helpful. Can be incredibly rude at times. Occasionally they can be nice.

I made a formal complaint regarding the service received more so recently since change of property manager and i have had no reply after 3 working days which sums up how its been dealing with them lately more so the property manager. I have long standing issue which remains outstanding and has been since i moved in 16 months ago. If you don't answer call queries, emails or even formal complaints, maybe you will answer this???

Vindi, apologies for your frustrations. A response to to your email to the main office account was delayed by the weekend and we did acknowledge it within 4 working days rather than 3 we aim for. In your 16 months at the flat we have successfully dealt with 13 property management issues, including the provision of new appliances and an out-of-hours leak. Whilst we manage the property you must remember that we do not have a mandate to deal with some things without the landlord's consent. This can sometimes delay matters. I am sorry if we have not kept you fully informed in this case and I know our Head of Property Management has picked up this matter with you directly. If you have any concerns in the future pleas do not hesitate to contact me directly. Kind regards, Peter Brown, Director.

Ms. Underwood, thank you for your review. We were instructed by you only on 10th October 2019 as one of several agents acting on your behalf. Your property had already been on the market with 3 other agents since May 2019 without success. Sadly, we didn't have anyone who wanted to buy the property having seen it and interest was limited in the Brexit-affected tail end of the year. We did advise you that the asking price did not properly reflect the condition of the property, however you were unwilling to address this. You informed us in early January that you had reluctantly accepted a very low offer through one of the other agents and we took the property off the market straight away. I note today that the property is unfortunately back for sale and we wish you every success in finding another buyer.

the worst estate agent to contact when looking to rent, called 4 days in a row to inquire about viewing properties and all 4 days no one was available and was ask to leave name and number and someone would call back. Does anyone work there?

Almaz, hi sorry your experience has not been a positive one. The answer to your question is yes and very hard. Unfortunately one of our lettings colleagues has been away on well earned annual leave and it's been difficult to help all the 230 people who have contacted us about renting a property in the last week as a consequence. Please give me a call directly on 0208 688 8565 and I will be delighted to assist you personally. Kind regards, Peter Brown, Director

Subject: Complaint Regarding Staff Behavior - Urgent Attention Required Dear Admin, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint about the unacceptable behavior exhibited by two of your staff members, which occurred during a recent interaction with me and my family… On 24/08/2024.. I was involved in a situation with a male staff member, whom I believe is named Matt, and a female staff member with long red hair. This encounter left me feeling intimidated, bullied, and subjected to what I believe were racist remarks. Additionally, their actions caused my children to become extremely distressed to the point where they were crying and screaming. I had to seek refuge at a friend's house to calm them down, which was both unnecessary and deeply upsetting. Here is a summary of what occurred: 1….. Accusations and Aggressive Behaviour: The female staff member accused my husband of bumping into her colleague's car…. When I asked for evidence.. she changed her story and then abruptly left the scene when I started to question her… This was extremely unprofessional and confusing. 2. Racist and Offensive Language.. The male staff member, Matt, confronted me in an aggressive manner… He used foul language in front of my children, despite my request for him to refrain from swearing. He then made a remark that I found to be racist and deeply offensive, stating, "Oh, people like you..." When I asked for clarification, he laughed and continued to use derogatory language, calling me a "crazy woman." This behavior is not only unprofessional but also discriminatory. It is deeply concerning that your staff would treat a customer in this manner, especially in front of children. I believe it is crucial that Martin & Co. addresses this issue immediately to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. I would appreciate a prompt investigation into this matter and a response detailing the actions that will be taken to address the behavior of these staff members. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. Sincerely, Bebo

Bebo Thank you for your posting regarding this matter, which I have already looked into. I am sorry to hear of any upset you and your children may have experienced, however I do not believe that this is the right forum to address this dispute. The incident on Saturday was a personal matter, with an argument between private individuals over damage to a stationary, privately-owned car in an accident irrefutably caused by your husband, who was driving, but which you denied, causing inevitable frustration. You are not a client or customer, the male colleague you refer to was not on company business and the female colleague you mention was there only in the capacity of a witness, having actually seen the accident occur. We have endeavoured to foster good relations with our neighbours in South Croydon over the last 15 years and will continue to work to be a productive part of the community. Therefore, as a gesture of goodwill, we will pay to repair the damage to our colleague’s vehicle, in order to avoid the need for a claim against your insurance. Please contact me directly at the office if you would like to discuss this matter any further. Peter Brown Director
