Martin & Co Paisley Reviews 

Martin & Co – AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Martin & Co is nothing but a greedy, dishonest letting agent that scams tenants out of their deposits. After renting a property through them for five years, leaving it in better condition than I received it, they are now trying to steal £546.58 from my deposit for so-called “repairs” that the property owner himself confirmed he would cover—which I have in writing!

They left my family without heating or hot water for 9 days, forcing us to relocate, and as a result, my daughter developed bronchitis. No apology. No compensation. Just complete disregard for tenants’ rights.

Looking at their terrible reviews, I now see I’m far from the only one they’ve done this to. Their business model is built on ripping people off. If you rent through them, be prepared to fight for your own money back.

I will be escalating this to Safe Deposit Scotland, the Property Ombudsman, and my solicitor—and I suggest anyone else scammed by them do the same.

DO NOT RENT WITH MARTIN & CO. You will regret it.

I'm a landlord and had Martin & Co Paisley rent out my flat. They found a couple with a 5 year old child and said they had been vetted etc. Turns out it was a family with 2 small children. Who completely ruined my flat: Large red stains on carpet which needed replaced, food crushed into carpets, chewing gum stomped into carpets, handles off walls, food splashed up walls, paint ripped off walls. This list was endless.

Fortunately we had a trades person that we know to go in and replace thermostat valves on the radiators (still unsure how they were all missing??), because the gas engineer that M&Co. had to quote decided we needed a new radiator etc etc and the quote was over a grand! This was not required at all!

Our gas engineer advised us on the very bad situation in our flat and I requested M&Co. carry out an immediate inspection. A week after the inspection I had to contact them to request an update. Shockingly, the agent I spoke to said that there was nothing wrong with the flat and that 'some people have higher living condition expectations than others'. Hmmm. yes tenants ruining my property is certainly my problem. As expected I challenged the agent's report to only be told that he had made a mistake and that the report he had given was of the flat above. The audacity of this company is next level.
Eventually they admitted that there was a problem in the flat and that they had spoken to the tenants that they needed to clean up the mess.

Thankfully these awful tenants moved out but I was left with a big mess and had to redecorate, replace carpets, take their broken belongings to the dump (yes the disgusting tenants left all their crap for me to dispose of, like I was their personal slave). They didn't even pay their full rent for the last month. Horrific creatures. And all along M&Co. kept taking their fees and making claiming the measly deposit and my rent extremely difficult.

AWFUL COMPANY. NO PROFESSIONALISM. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS LOT. COULDN'T ORGANISE A P*SS UP IN A BREWERY. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!
