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.

No change to gas safety duties for landlords when gas safe register takes over
Gas Safe Register, the new gas safety body replacing the CORGI gas register in Great Britain on 1 April. Only Gas Safe registered engineers will be authorised to carry out this work from the beginning of April.
If you let a property, you must make sure that pipe work, appliances and flues provided for tenants and customers are maintained in a safe condition and you need to have an annual gas safety check.
Kelly from Martin & Co Southsea commented “Landlords have a legal duty to keep tenants and customers safe by making sure the gas appliances in properties are suitably maintained. As part of the fully managed service we offer, we can arrange for this to be carried out by one of our approved Gas Safe registered engineers on behalf of the landlord”.
Kelly added, “Landlords and tenants should never attempt to install or repair a gas appliance themselves. This is breaking the law and puts lives at risk.”
“Our tenants and customers safety is a top priority for us at Martin & Co Southsea.”
We will ensure that any gas safety record provided to our clients from 1st April 2009 will only be produced by engineers approved and listed on the Gas Safe Register.
