Had a very bad experience with a lady called Rugile. From the very first phonecall she seemed uninterested and unfriendly. I'm used to estate agents doing their best to sell/rent out a property. On this occasion, Rugile was absolutely negative and very condescending towards me. Not only did she make it seem as if I'm not credible enough with constantly repeating that 'the landlord is very specific about who he wants as a tenant' (after already disclosing I make a healthy salary), she also questioned how much of my salary is being declared on my tax return. I've never experienced an estate agent with such a poor attitude towards potential tenants. A 'best wishes' or 'kind regards' at the end of an e-mail is the least someone could ask for. Never again!

Katie, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that your experience of us was not a positive one. As you can see from the other reviews and the namechecks that Ru is usually the most helpful of estate agents. Please accept my apologies that we appear to have come across heavy handed in trying to establish whether we could get you through our usual referencing process. I hope you have now found a suitable property and are very happy there. Kind regards, Peter Brown, Director.

Awful customer service. Spoke on the phone with a lady for roughly 10 minutes in which she stuck rigorously to some sort of script and made no attempt to answer my actual questions. The conversation quickly escalated to the point where she was raising her voice at me and being quite curt, I'm assuming this came from her frustration at me asking the same question multiple times and not getting an actual answer. Will not be dealing any further, I've dealt with plenty of estate agents and letting companies and they've all been happy to answer my questions. Terrible experience!

Wade, hi, thanks for your comments. Sorry to learn that you weren't happy with our service. As you can see from the many positive reviews here our team usually work hard to provide a positive customer experience. I can only think you caught us on an off-day for which I apologise. Peter Brown, Director.

I find the staff extremely rude in this place. The answer to any questions and this happened the second time is that they never had that question before and that it is strange... any simple question about terms and conditions or a request is considered strange. So I am made out to be strange. Well sorry Martin &co staff your lack of customer services is extremely strange.

Sorry Ian, I believe your review is totally vindictive. You are unhappy because you were charged for carpet cleaning. You vented your argument at the time, but decided not to follow the correct dispute process, because the deductions were correct based on the evidence. I don't doubt you would of have disputed the matter had you had a reasonable argument and the check in and check out documentation was accurate. I'm sorry if you felt that we did not deal with you enthusiastically. Our fees are competitive and you were notified of our charges in writing.

Useless estate agent dealing with Karolina she's an absolute apology how dare you waste me and my partners time with viewing properties only to later find out that the landlord will only except applicants who have worked for a year at least we are working and earning more than yourself or anyone who works in your useless estate agent word of advise AVOID this estate agent if you don't want your time being wasted

The team was very good initially when first started the contract. However, when it came to taking my deposit back was delaying the work. Charged 90£ from the deposit saying for cleaning just for cleaning. ( i gave back the flat in a better condition then i got it) Staff named " Kaz" called herself as in charge was very unprofessional. She literally hanged up the phone in between conversation with the customer. Very unprofessional behaviour.

Dear David, We've tried with all our might, but the jobs you asked to be done earlier in the year were completed, and not related at all to the leak from the roof. Unfortunately, the leak from the roof required scaffolding because the roof was unsafe for the contractor to access using only a ladder. The scaffolding was arranged in a matter of days and the leak was repaired within the week; a response time we are happy with.

Rubbish. Estate agents don't have a good name generally and this company does nothing to change that perception.

Rugile is agent of Martin and Co. She is unprofessional, she is always interupting. We wanted to rent 23 Grove Wood Hill Coulsdon but with her it is impossible. I am very disappointed because this agent wont listen.

Thank you for taking the time to review our business and I am sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with our service. Our negotiating staff are paid a commission for successful lets and sales and are usually very focused on trying to make things work where possible and practical. Kind regards, Peter Brown (Director).
