I decided to move and find a bigger home due to the madness of COVID and now working from home more. The Letting team at South Norwood were great, from showing the property right through to handover, it was all very easy and they were always happy to deal with my questions and assist with whatever I needed. Thanks to Gavin and the other team members who all helped to ensure everything was ready so I could pick up the keys today!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Value

I dealt with the sale of the property on behalf of my brother who initially dealt with Ashley prior to her move to the Brixton Branch. The smooth transition from Ashley to Simon went well and the sale was completed to my satisfaction within a short space of time.

My details passed on to an energy company without my consent

My energy contract was taken over by an energy company without my consent and without Informing me. When I challenged them, they said that my letting agent for the property in this case one of Stirling Ackroyd agents had given my details to a partnership that has an agreement with the energy company. I was not very happy about this as this energy contract transfer has caused issues for me. The letting agency obviously has this agreement. I found it shocking that they told this partnership the date that my flat was going to be empty and when to take over the energy supply without notifying me and without my express consent.This is very upsetting. Not sure I can trust them again.

Responsive agent

Got a call a day after sending in my enquiry! The whole process of renting and gaining information about the property was prompt and swift thanks to Guy Gregory. He was very responsive and helpful in answering my questions. Highly recommend Stirling Ackroyd!

Experienced and professional service with a complex portfolio

We have been clients of Stirling Ackroyd (with their letting service) for about two years, and they have been highly professional and knowledgeable. They have managed property issues in a timely fashion as they arise, including handling a complex refurbishment, transferring from a previous (and inept) managing agent, and some slightly difficult tenants. They are also on top of all of the relevant regulatory matters, and do everything in a legally correct manner (to the best of my limited knowledge). I would happily recommend their services.

Certainly

Certainly! Here's another review:"We had an outstanding experience working with Omar during our apartment search. From the moment we met, Omar demonstrated a deep understanding of the rental market and took the time to truly understand our preferences and needs. Their attention to detail and responsiveness made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Omar was always available to answer any questions we had and provided valuable guidance every step of the way. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, we found the perfect apartment that exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Omar to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable agent.Emmanuel

Good service from Omar

We were fortunate to have Omar Robertson assist us in finding our new home. From the initial contact, Omar was professional and efficient. He sent us a detailed list of properties that matched our preferences, and once we made a selection, he coordinated the visit.From there, the process became somewhat tedious as the reference company took longer than expected. However, throughout this time, Omar demonstrated exceptional patience and a polite attitude towards us. He advocated on our behalf, doing everything possible to overcome any obstacles that arose.I would like to highlight Omar's proactiveness and kindness towards clients. He was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and providing exceptional service. His positive approach and willingness to overcome challenges made the entire process much more manageable. We are very grateful for his professionalism and highly recommend him as a real estate agent

2 properties significantly undersold by £90,000

I owned two new build properties in the Witton area which were taken over by LPA receivers whilst almost completing exchange of contracts. The LPA receivers appointed Stirling Ackroyd and did not appoint anyone in competition which in my opinion should have been done. Sterling Ackroyd stated over a period of 4 to 6 months that they were unable to find a buyer and that they could only find buyers for the properties £90,000 below its actual market value that they were being sold for. It seems that the sales reps either lack experience or this is a sale of serious convenience !!The properties were sold without a completion certificate in place, therefore an illegal transaction. The buyers of one of the houses were told they could remove the disability ramp, which they did. This is a condition of the completion certificate and local authority requirements and therefore a legal requirement. Both the LPA receivers, and Stirling Ackroyd were fully aware of this fact. Perhaps they need to explain to the new owners that they will need to rebuild the disability ramp at their expense. There are other factors still to be complied with in return to obtain a completion certificate.

“Delayed Deposit and Poor Communication: A Frustrating Experience with Stirling Ackroyd”

I moved out of my property on August 27, and as of today, I still haven’t received my deposit back. Stirling Ackroyd informed me that they were waiting on my final bill from Vital Energi to deduct any outstanding amount. After contacting Vital myself, I discovered that Stirling Ackroyd didn’t submit the required information until the beginning of October. Although the bill was sent to the agency on October 8, Stirling Ackroyd continues to deny they’ve received it.Be cautious when dealing with this agency, as their responsiveness to emails is notably slow.

Extremely poor experience

Extremely poor experience. They really push to get the holding deposit, but once that is done the agent disappeared. No information was provided earlier about the agent going on a holiday, and no one else was assigned to take over the task once they are on a holiday. I had already paid the deposit so couldn’t back out but also couldn’t get any further details to finalise the tenancy. Spent the whole week in uncertainty. Worst people ever.

Exceptional Service. The follow up was amazing. very friendly and intuitive staffing. Cheers to @Frank and @Omar truly the Gold standard in the real estate business. I believe you make many lives easier in navigating the letting space. Couldn’t be more grateful for the attention to details from start to finalization.

The worst renting experience I have…

The worst renting experience I have ever had. I have rented through Stirling Ackroyd (Bermondsey branch) for the past 2+ years and have dealt with several individuals. I have constantly been met with unprofessionalism and unhelpfulness. The worst of our situation during our tenancy was when our boiler broke in January and Stirling Ackroyd left us without hot water and heating for 30 days due to their lack of communication and urgency. This resulted in us reaching out to the landlord directly who dealt with the situation immediately. I genuinely do not know what they do on the daily as it does not seem to be managing properties. They also cannot read their own contracts they drafted and tried to take out money unnecessarily from our deposit at the end of our tenancy. Would never use again.

Undervalued property after their initial "the property is worthless" valuation

Shocking. Run away if they come to value your property! My experience with Stirling Ackroyd Surveyors property evaluation service, who acted on behalf of HSBC, was shockingly unprofessional. The evaluator arrived late, dressed inappropriately with trousers around their bum and not being friendly. The initial evaluation inexplicably valued the property at ZERO, displaying a severe lack of competence and attention to detail.Despite providing further documentation, Stirling Ackroyd's response was to undervalue the property without clear justification, undermining our confidence in their process. The lack of transparency and accountability throughout was deeply concerning. For anyone considering HSBC for property evaluation through their agents Stirling Ackroyd Surveyors, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a more professional and reliable service.Update. Look at their AI-generated response. They can't even write a proper, more human response. So robotic. Just appalling.
