Martin & Co. is looking good financially, so probably an admin cock up.

Do others here have experiences of them to speak of? It's becoming tiresome now.
Both became complacent after a few years (and we were amongst the first clients for the Leicester branch). We ended up spending as much time managing them as we would have managing the properties ourselves.
We sacked them both (several months apart) and have replaced them with two fabulous local independant agents.

All these chain letting places feck you over, they just hire in completely inexperienced office juniors to manage the accounts. Always go with someone local.Comment

A Scottish mate is forever moaning about his agents (he's tried a few) and he blames crap customer service north of the border.
Mine (Temples, in Cheshire) have been pretty darned good. My only gripe has been their willingness to charge more if they have to do more than normal yet they don't give me a reduction in months in which they do naff all. But I grudgingly tolerate this as I don't want to face the experiences described by some on this thread.Comment

Wish someone in silicon valley would do a airbnb.com equivalent for long-term lets, 3% commission all round employing local trades people as required. I do get naffed off myself with agents collecting 12% off my monthly rent for picking up the phone and giving me a hard time.

My am I super flying TNT with this lot.
I'm trying to change the management of the flat. They're claiming it's their tenant I'm using, and as such shall have to pay a finders fee. I retorted, it's my house you're using!
