Agency opens flagship office in Plymouth

One of the UK’s largest letting agencies has opened up a flagship office in Plymouth.

Located on Mutley Plain, Martin & Co Plymouth specialises in providing a comprehensive range of lettings, sales and property management services.

The owners, Chris and Merolyn Whitaker have been involved in property investment for over 15 years and are now using their experience of being landlords, tenants and investors to run their own successful Martin & Co franchise in Plymouth. They’ve found that the service from estate and lettings agents varies widely and they intend to draw on this knowledge in order to provide a top quality service to clients in their area.

“Given our past experiences, we feel that we are in a privileged position to understand many of the often overlooked needs of both landlords, tenants and vendors. We feel that we have a good understanding of the importance of applying attention to detail and ensuring that our business interests are well organised and effectively managed.”

“For us, integrity and great service are at the absolute core of what we want to achieve.  We want our landlords and tenants to put their trust in us and know that we will offer them a service that is both professional and efficient.”

Former British Army Officer Merolyn grew up in South Devon and she and Chris, who has just retired from the military after 16 years’ service, have just moved back after working overseas. Plymouth is an important and vibrant city with great potential. With significant finances being invested in regeneration, landlords and tenants can be assured that Chris and Merolyn will be offering an excellent service as demand in the area rises.  They will also be putting their experiences of buying, selling and renovating their own properties to good use with a comprehensive property sales service.

“We understand that landlord and tenant opinions of estate and letting agents vary widely. We aspire to offer an efficient and customer-focused service that is based on mutual respect and communication. We will offer transparency in everything we do and our military attention to detail will really mark us out from the crowd.”

“Unlike many of the other national operators providing a property management service we, as the Directors of Martin & Co Plymouth, will be intimately involved in the day-to-day management of the properties we are responsible for and we are financially invested in the business. This ensures that our interests are solely aligned to those of our clients. Although we are local and independent, we also have the backing of the national Martin & Co brand, with over 280 offices nationwide. We get all the benefits of national advertising and support systems, allowing us to focus on ensuring the highest standards of customer delivery.”

The office was officially opened on Thursday 30 April 2015 by Oliver Colvile MP, who popped-in to cut the ribbon and discuss some of the current issues facing the Private Rented Sector in Plymouth.
