Martin & Co Huddersfield Lettings & Estate Agents

We sold our property with Martin & Co. and the service was outstanding from start to finish. Zac did an exceptional job securing a sale price very close to our asking price, his negotiation skills genuinely exceeded our expectations. Helen was equally brilliant, keeping us updated at every stage and liaising with solicitors, our buyers and agents on all sides, which made a complex process feel much smoother and less stressful. Professional, proactive, and truly committed to getting the best outcome — we couldn’t have asked for a better team. Highly recommended.

A Case Study in “Professional Responsibility” — Courtesy of Martin & Co, Huddersfield It’s truly reassuring to know that when you deal with Martin & Co, Huddersfield you can expect a masterclass in how not to take responsibility for your own advice. Before even moving into their new flat at Gate Residence Ltd, Huddersfield, my friend did exactly what any responsible tenant would do — they checked with their letting agent, Martin & Co Huddersfield, about the parking arrangements. Given that the development has both resident and visitor bays on privately managed land, and that a resident parking permit had already been issued to them, it was entirely reasonable to ask whether a separate visitor parking permit was required. Martin & Co confidently replied that no visitor permit was needed. After moving in, my friend noticed that the parking signage around the visitor bays clearly stated “Private Land — Valid Parking Permit Required.” Acting responsibly, they contacted Martin & Co again for clarification. Yet once more, Martin & Co reassured them that no visitor permit was required — that visitors could park freely on a first-come, first-served basis. Relying on that information, when I visited my friend, I parked in one of the visitor bays. Unfortunately, I received a fine from UK Parking Control (UKPC), who manage parking on behalf of Gate Residence Ltd. When the matter was raised with Martin & Co, they claimed they had never been informed that a visitor parking permit was required and, in fact, had parked there “many times” without incident. A fascinating standard of evidence, one might say. It was only when they contacted Gate Residence Ltd (and copied all involved parties) that the truth surfaced. Gate Residence Ltd confirmed that they had, in fact, informed Martin & Co back in 2019 that all visitor bays require valid permits, even naming the Martin & Co staff member who received that communication. Gate Residence Ltd rightly pointed out that if Martin & Co had failed to maintain continuity of information within their own team, that was not their problem. In other words, the information was there — Martin & Co simply lost it somewhere between 2019 and the present, and then confidently misinformed their tenants. Even after this, Martin & Co refused to accept responsibility, choosing instead to advise that “the signage should have been read.” Ironically, it was because the signage was read that my friend asked them twice for confirmation — both times being reassured incorrectly. Frankly, even children know how to admit when they’ve made a mistake — even kids do it better. Martin & Co Huddersfield have truly redefined professionalism — blending confident misinformation with a steadfast refusal to accept responsibility. Their internal communication may be patchy, but their ability to shift blame is seamless. If you’re seeking a letting agency that can assure you of one thing while proving another, and then gracefully step aside when consequences appear — Martin & Co Huddersfield are your perfect choice.

Great service with Martin and Co, Zak did several viewings for us at our new property. I was always kind courteous and on time. Himself and Helen took care of all the sales progression and ensured a smooth transaction in just over 5 weeks . Thanks Guys !

I truly want to thank Zak, Simon, Helen, Jane, and the rest of the team at Martin& Co Huddersfield for all their assistance with my house purchase. They made sure that I was updated and kept informed every step of the way, and made the whole process as easy as possible for me. Their service is outstanding, and I'm also very happy with my purchase. Thank you all so much!

Told them I was coming from Manchester to view a property (1 and a half hour drive). Had the viewing. Said I wanted to apply the same day and immediately got a response of - Thanks Adam, the property has now LET. Not even a ‘sorry but unfortunately’. And when I called and addressed the issue it was met with a dry attitude.
