Well, it all went downhill. The WORST management agents I’ve ever dealt with. I recommend avoiding ANY lease that they are handling, it’s not worth the hassle to deal with a terrible and corrupt group of people. Despite moving out of a place in September due to a divorce, and getting my name taken off the tenancy agreement (all the while they delayed refunding me the deposit while earning as much interest for themselves as possible), they are chasing me up for the last months’ rent that my ex-wife should be paying. I don’t even know what arrangement they have due to limited contact, yet somehow I am being asked to pay? Absolutely corrupt. AVOID
Good luck talking to the lovely lady on the lettings team. No time for anyone.
DO NOT GO with Martin and CO! I was with Martin and Co (renting) for 2 years. I had maintenence ignored to the extent of a bedroom being inhabitable during winter months as it had a broken window on moving in!! For 2 years the window was left broken, with email receipts to show they were aware from day one! A severe lack of comparison and care was apparent during the entire of my tenancy, even after making them aware I was medically vulnerable (confirmed by the NHS). I lost a lot of my savings having to deal with these people... make sure you don't too.
I don’t recommend anyone to buy from this agent very rude people
I'm still waiting for an email with the list of houses for rent.
Hard sell and not entirely transparent...
By far the worst agency I have ever dealt with, they are dishonest, rude and take advantage of people. The staff changed every month so no way to deal with the same person on an issue, they frequently conduct check out scams in order to mark items as damaged when they in fact weren't and know exactly how to extort additional fees every-step of the way. They even charged me 150£ because I left a brand new trash-bin at the property I didn't want to throw away! Run away from these people, they have no decency and respect for tenants and will take your money from you.
Details given for the property on the adv isn't same as on the viewing day. Unreialable and dishonest service.
