What we stand for
LETTINGS
- Effective Communication - we understand the challenges of being a landlord and of selling property. Having built a property portfolio over the course of the past 15 years, we have dealt with letting agents across the country who have been good, bad and indifferent. We aim to ensure that you are kept appraised of any developments with your property and tenants, both during the tenancy and when the time comes to re-let. We believe that good communication is vital and we will communicate with you as you would like us to, whether that is by phone/text/email or letter. Any property appraisal we conduct for you will be well researched and provide a realistic view of the best possible valuation of your property.
- Value for Money - we understand that all landlords are different in terms of the service levels that they require. We will discuss the support you feel that you need and tailor a solution based around this.
- Integrity - unlike our competitors, we don t mark-up property maintenance work. We continue to look for the best value service for you and ensure that the local tradesmen that we employ deliver this. We take no cut when fixing problems that you may encounter. We think that our terms of business are straight forward and without ambiguity. We hide nothing and you can rely upon us to have an honest dialogue with you. We provide realistic property valuations as part of our very thorough appraisals process.
- Minimised Void Periods - as fellow landlords, we know that it is the void periods that eat into profit from investment property. Martin & Co has some of the lowest void periods of any letting agents, with a national average of just 12 days. This bears testament to our proactive, early and effective marketing. Let us know who you let with currently and we ll let you know what their average time to let is.

That is why we keep our rates simple and transparent. Our appraisals are our opportunity to speak with you honestly and realistically about the valuation we recommend for your home.
- Flexibility all sellers are different. We will provide a service that is tailored around your needs. It is for that reason that we are the only high street estate agent that offers both a traditional and online sales service, where you can do as much or as little of the work involved in sales as you would like.
