Martin & Co Honoured as Best Letting Agency
Letting agency Martin & Co has just been awarded the UK’s “Best Letting Agent” at the Estate and Letting Agency Awards (or ESTAs) in London this week.
The prestigious award was presented to Martin & Co’s Managing Director Ian Wilson by media personality and journalist Phil Spencer of Channel 4’s “Location, Location, Location”, who said “these awards are particularly special, and a true reflection of excellence in customer service as they are only awards in the industry which are voted for by the landlords and tenants themselves.
They are not easily won, and require a letting agency to achieve a consistently high level of service to their clients over a 12 month period.” Over 30,000 questionnaires were sent out to customers across the UK.
On receiving the award, Ian Wilson said “it is a privilege to win such an award, and it is a tribute to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our franchise owners and their staff.
We aim only to recruit, and help our franchisees recruit, only the very best in the business – those who care about giving great service! In a property industry where many sales-based estate agents have recently forayed into lettings out of necessity, this award has clearly demonstrated that landlords and tenants prefer to work with a lettings specialist who will be around next year and the year after.
I am especially pleased that it was our customers themselves who voted for us, and I’d like to thank all those who took the trouble by taking part in this independent survey.”
This award comes only months after Martin & Co scooped a Franchisor of the Year award at the end of 2008.

2009 Landlords Survival Guide
Local letting agency Martin & Co, with offices in North Hill in Colchester have just launched their latest update for anyone currently letting, or thinking of letting, a residential property in the area.
The no-nonsense “Survival Guide for Landlords Living in Recessionary Times” offers straight-talking, good advice and is highly relevant for the current market. It certainly pulls no punches and addresses various issues head-on, such as “Do you Own a Disaster?” and “Coping with Voids”. Fortunately it also provides solutions, based on the extensive experience of Martin and Co, gleaned from over 150 offices throughout the UK network.
Commenting on the publication, local Martin & Co Proprietor Gary Everett said, “We trialed a newsletter for our clients last year entitled “What is happening to the UK Housing market?” which was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. It appears that landlords appreciate our head-on approach to the issues of the day, which other commentators possibly avoid as contentious.”
“We are therefore committed to continuing to provide relevant and meaningful advice to anyone with an interest in letting issues. This is a specialist field, and many are jumping on the band-wagon. However, in view of the turmoil in the property market and increasingly complex legislation, we are passionate about ensuring that our clients receive only the very best, up-to-the-minute advice from trained letting professionals who are here for the long term.”
“This newsletter will therefore be updated quarterly, and is available, free of charge, to all landlords in the Colchester area.” Please contact Gary Everett on 01206 760950 to order your copy.
