TrustpilotGreat customer service
Firstly where to begin... Marty at head office has been fantastic following my recent valuation enquiry for my property. From the initial call where he explained what was going to happen and actually took the time to understand what my onward plans were, he then suggested registering me as a potential buyer to help with property matches. I hadn't spoken to a financial advisor or solicitor and he was again helpful in explaining the additional services that Stirling Ackroyd offer. Overall the process has been very smooth and resulted in one happy customer. Thank you to Marty and the local team!

It is my pleasure to recommend Jordan Taylor in Townends estate agent in Croydon. When we put our property to the market, he was in charge of selling our property. He was very helpful and friendly who always responded to our queries quickly. The best thing was I could call him directly and he always answered my calls even when he was on his days off. Highly recommend him and his branch which we have used many times over the years for letting as well.

Trustpilotworst agents ever stay away
I shall never rent through Stirling Ackroyd again, this company only thinks about two things protecting themselves and the landlord. it is disgusting the way they treat you; they do not care about you at all. fence down nothing done for nearly three months, had items damage in the garden as we lived next to an alleyway. bathroom shower was leaking, downstairs ceiling was going mouldy, in fact it was that bad we had to call council out in the end. we left 7 months later leaking shower and mould was the same and they even let the new people move in with lots of promises. do not rent off Stirling Ackroyd, you will be very sorry you did. yes, they should win a prise for worst estate agent out there. They threaten you if I stopped paying the £2800 a month rent, this is their behaviour.

A huge huge thank you to the Stirling Ackroyd team across the board. Every agent that has been in touch with us was super welcoming, kind and supportive! We’ve had a few obstacles along the way on our tenant side, and Stirling Ackroyd have been very patient and supportive throughout! Glad to be moving into a property knowing we’ll have continued support from Stirling Ackroyd!

Trustpilotfirst time that an agency called me back
It was the first time that an agency called me back to discuss a viewing of a property which I am grateful. Rino was an absolute pleasure to talk to as he was polite, friendly and helped me a lot with the process. I definitely felt easier to talk to him as he built good rapport. I will definitely use this agency again!

TrustpilotRent property bidding strategy
We was looking for property to rent in Croydon area this agency was like biding for a property. They asking from the client how much you can spend towards the rent for the month. Most they are going more than advertised price in zoopla or right to move. And the best part if you give a price if it out bided you don't know what was the final amount. End of the day every one trying to get a property of a reasonable price but in this situation this is terrible. And this agency doing it.Don't recommend this agency

Dear Amenu, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are currently experiencing a very fast paced lettings market where properties are being secured quickly and at times above the marketing price. If you viewed a property that you particularly liked and wanted to secure, advice would have been given to help you achieve this. We wish you the very best in your property search. Amber

TrustpilotONLY helpful BEFORE you sign
The agents were ONLY unbelievably helpful BEFORE YOU SIGN THE CONTRACT. After that they just disappeard. One area manager even tried to violate one clause in the contract, trying to make a view for potential buyers 3 months prior to the end. We reported that we need small fixes for the lights and NOBODY CAME. Horrible service. Complete fraud.

GoogleThe sterling Arckroyd Estate agents is the best among the best, their staffs manner of approach both physical and on phones is superb, the schedule of viewing is always on point, never waste of time or delay. The property display on their site is exactly the same with what we see.
The period of confirming the references is accurate. Till the schedule time of collecting the key.
They are honest and transparent, no hidden charges

Sandra was extremely professional, respectful and pleasant to deal with. I was undecided about selling our property, and Sandra has been extremely patient throughout, calling me just the right amount to stay updated. Because of the market, I chose not to sell at this time, but I was so impressed with the way that Stirling Ackroyd went about their business, they'll be the first port of call when I do.

TrustpilotStirling Ackroyd - DAY TIME ROBBERS
Stirling Ackroyd is a terrible estate and letting company. To be exactly accurate, Clive Martin is the worst when it comes to them lot. The check in and check out inventory matches with of course the additional normal wear and tear but he will force you to pay for it. What he is doing is called Day Time Robbery.Metro Central Heights Vantage Building is known for having black moulds due to the windows' inability to block moisture as the building is old but he will say that the moulds needs to be cleaned despite the moulds being already absorbed into the laminate. He will charge you for that. Again, Day Time Robbery. There are too many to mention when it comes to how bad Stirling Ackroyd is. I mean Stirling Ackroyd may be a good company but the people working for it are just too terrible especially Clive Martin. I don't understand why he is still there working for Stirling Ackroyd but if the workers are like that, the company must be bad too for retaining these kind of people, right?My advice to all is this: Avoid Stirling Ackroyd. There are better Lettings and Estates companies out there. If you see Clive Martin in the paperwork, information etc, better cross the road and go for the competition. Stirling Ackroyd is just bad.

I recently sold my house through Stirling Ackroyd Estate Agent’s Hybrid Head Office team. Rino, Ant, Adnan, Rhys and Matt were all incredibly helpful and knowledgable and, as a first time seller, they guided me through the entire process and were always there with any questions I had along the way. Above all, they were able to sell my house at a great price, I can’t recommend their services enough
