BEST LARGE LETTING CHAIN
Martin & Co confirmed as Best Large Letting Chain
Letting agency Martin & Co has just been awarded the UK’s “Best Large Letting Chain” at the Estate and Letting Agency Awards (ESTAs) in London on 8th April.
The prestigious award was presented to Ian Wilson Managing Director of Martin & Co 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 on excellence in customer service as they are the only awards in the industry which are voted for by the landlords 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
Phil added, “It’s fantastic to see agents getting the credit they deserve after all the negative press they receive. Throughout the property industry there is a constant need to improve customer service and these awards go along way to help agents focus on keeping clients happy. He adds “After all the most powerful marketing tool for Agents is word of mouth so customer satisfaction is key.”
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 staff, But more than that, it is a reflection of a blend of the proven system of which we are very proud, with our unswerving aim only to recruit, and help our franchisees recruit, the very best in the business – those who really care! In an industry where numerous sales-base estate agents have recently forayed into lettings, the award has clearly demonstrated that people prefer to work with a dedicated lettings specialist. 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 to show their appreciation by taking part in the independent survey.”
The sponsors of the 2009 event included Globrix, PSC, RICS, Estate Agent Today and The London Paper and the Awards were organised by Awards for Business Ltd (http://www.estateagentoftheyear.com/previous-winners.html).
(No strangers to awards success, Martin & Co also won Franchisor of the Year last November.)

Surviving a Recession
LOCAL letting agency Martin & Co, with offices in Jewry Street, Winchester, has just launched its 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 franchisee Tracy Blick said:“We trialed a newsletter for our clientsl ast 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 Winchester and the surrounding area.” Contact Tracy Blick on 01962 843346 or call in to the office at 40 Jewry Street, Winchester to collect your free copy.

Best Franchise !!
Martin and Co – “A Shining Example”
Martin and Co, the UK’s No 1 letting agent, has just been honoured as “Best Franchisor” at The Negotiator Magazine awards ceremony at the London Park Lane Hilton Hotel. The award recognises excellence in the property services sector, and was presented by TV celebrity, Rory Bremner. Clearly he’s not the only one who makes a good impression!
The judges were “most impressed” with Martin and Co, which since 1986 has remained a family owned business, and now has over 150 franchised offices throughout the UK, including Winchester Martin & Co office. They highlighted the company’s passionate approach, along with its commitment to professionalism, customer service and training, which were described as “exemplary” and a “shining example” of a progressive lettings agency that “has a formula for success”.
“It was Martin and Co’s first time of entering the awards and was prompted by the upbeat feedback we consistently receive from franchisees, landlords and tenants,” commented Managing Director Ian Wilson. “We fully recognise the responsibility everyone in our organisation has to enhance the letting experience. This comes at a time when many new landlords are entering the market and require the security of a confident and competent approach from a committed and professional letting agent”.
“We are very proud to play a major role in driving lettings standards upwards, and we are already campaigning for greater regulation in the industry at the earliest opportunity. In the meantime, this award will hopefully provide our clients and prospective clients with the assurance that they have chosen the letting agency that our own industry has recognised as the one that receives the highest level of support from its franchise operator.”
