What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Fully managed letting, property sales and ongoing management of rented homes form the services that customers describe at this York branch. Landlords who have placed properties under its care over several years report that re-letting is handled swiftly, with new tenants secured in a short space of time, and that maintenance issues are identified and resolved without delay. Tenants, including those arriving from overseas on a tight schedule, describe a smooth and stress-free process from viewing through to moving in. Communication that is prompt and easy to follow, together with advice given plainly, appears as a recurring strength, and fees are considered reasonable.

Jo, Angela, Ben and Harry are named for their helpfulness and readiness to arrange viewings at short notice. Reviewers repeatedly mention how well the team coordinates, keeping landlords informed throughout a tenancy and stepping in when complications arise in the closing days before a move, while valuations for sales are described as sound and instructions said to progress quickly. Both tenants and landlords return for further properties, and the readiness of staff to answer questions and assist whenever needed runs through the accounts of the service.

I’ve rented out my property twice with Martin & Co York now having lived in it myself inbetween and both times they have been excellent. When the idea of renting out your property is daunting they make it so stress free and easy . Always happy to help with everything and I love how much they keep me updated with everything. I wouldn’t use another agent 👍🏻

Sent harassing emails to entire flat building during tenancy; expecting tenants to maintain the building in a way that is clearly the landlords responsibility. Would also try and sell us 3rd party insurance coverage to cover "damage" that falls under wear-and-tear, so the cost would not fall onto them. When we first moved in there was a clear fire hazard (exposed wires hanging from the ceiling with running electric), that after requesting maintenance for, was told it was a known issue for months. Oven upon move in was essentially broken, with the top heating elements bent at a 90 degree angle into the oven, and it produced a bad smell. Hob on top was rusting off. Was told that because it was "technically working" they didnt have to replace it. They finally replaced it after 6 months, but only when we emailed them saying they were infringing on our rights as tenants. Bad at communication for viewings when we were moving out. Also, the woman I turned my keys into on the last day was EXTREMELY rude, mocking me, and overall completely condescending and snarky for no reason when there was a small issue of keys not matching their inventory. The keys issue was resolved quickly as it was my housemate who had misplaced a key, but Martin and co were absolutely no help in resolving it and were horrible to deal with. Landlords are evil.

Having rented for nearly 10 years, I was pleasantly surprised when I contacted Martin & Co at the excellent service I received to help my partner and I to find a property. Ben has been absolutely incredible at looking to find the right place for us and his communication during the process was second to none. Thanks Ben 5 stars!

Such a pleasant experience with Martin and Co. A special mention to Ben who made it his mission to get us into the property in under 2 weeks! We appreciate the dedication massively. An excellent company, easily contactable and helpful staff members.

I came across the wonderful team at Martin & Co, whilst looking for a flat for my daughter to rent in York. Everyone was extremely helpful from the start and what was most impressive was how well everyone worked together as a team to ensure that the process ran smoothly. I would like to thank especially Angela and Ben for going out of their way to view the property we were interested in at short notice and for the rest of the team for being so helpful whenever I phoned up. A great and warm family business and I would recommend them highly. Keith
