Useless and no help what's so ever. Agencies have made it expensive and prohibitive to getting a rental property

Report
I had been a tenant for nearly 2 years with Martin Pendered and I had the best experience with them. The team were responsive on any issues that arised with the property. Every phone call was followed up with dates and times. Judith was amazing. She had the time to go through everything with me when I had personal issues, aliased with the landlord, and nothing was to much for her. I was sad to move but unfortunately the home wasn't big enough for us. But I would recommend them 100%. A letting agency that I would 100% go back to.
