Spoke to David Harvey in the central office earlier today. Before transferring me to a colleague in a local branch, he was exceptionally helpful and provided some really useful information. Great customer service!

We recently started renting a property through Stirling Ackroyd and we cannot thank them and especially JAD enough for his help. From our first viewing through to us moving in, he has been exceptionally professional and knowledgeable and very easy to contact. The whole process was stress free with his help. I would highly recommend Sterling Ackroyd and especially JAD. SCOTT

We’ve just successfully moved office after working with Lucy Stephens at Stirling Ackroyd. Lucy is extremely professional, took time to really understand our needs as business and her knowledge and interest of the area really stood out. We were able to see a long list of properties, and second viewing of the short list at our convenience and multiple return visits to help us decide. Throughout the process, Lucy was able to guide us, answer questions at short notice and liaise with all parties.

Mohammed Amin

Mohammed Amin looks after our properties and he is brilliant. Very responsive both for me as landlord and also for the tenants so I feel very assured that I am on top of everything I should be doing. A real asset to Stirling Ackroyd. Aidene

I always felt they were on our side

Even though we were buyers not sellers, I always felt that they were on our side. Buying and selling are so stressful and they always treated us courteously and kindly with an acknowledgement of the difficulties that we encountered. Reassuring and with a great sense of humour. Feroza in particular was very warm, understanding and patient with each of our property visits as well as over the phone; Anthony made it all happen, was always very responsive and went beyond what he needed to do, on our behalf as much as the seller's. Thank you both!

If professionality, availability and good customer service is what you are looking for, you won't find it here. This is a warning for all sellers who are considering using this agency to get their property on the market. They will not communicate with keen prospect buyers and they will NOT make any effort to get interested people in for viewings, no matter how much one chases. I spent over a week calling the agents to book a viewing for a property I was interested in. I was bounced from agent to agent, all telling me they contacted me via email (which they DID NOT) and when I asked to get things sorted over phone they kept saying they would get back to me straight away and never bothered calling back. I also had this agency (another branch, though) come over for a valuation of my property and their big words and promises are in stark contrast with the service provided on the other side of the line. I am so glad I did not instruct them and if a serious team that can get things done is important to you, I advise you do the same and go with other, more committed companies.

***RENTERS BEWARE***

***RENTERS BEWARE***I am posting this review as a sincere warning to anybody thinking of renting a property with this grossly incompetent organisation.At the end of me and my partners tenancy we were disgusted to be informed that we would be only be receiving just over £100 of our £1600 deposit.The reasons stated were that the flat was left in an 'uninhabitable' condition. A statement which was completely at odds with the check out report. We were also informed that the place was 'riddled' with bed bugs. These bed bugs were supposedly situated within the sofa bed, one small issue (I'm being generous using the word 'small' here) is that we were never informed that the sofa was a sofa bed and never used it as such.This means that we moved into a property with a sofa bed that wasn't declared as such that was supposedly filled with bed bugs from a previous tenancy.We were charged over £1000 for fumigation services, sofa removal and purchase of a new sofa.So, this bombshell was dropped to us in a cold and informal email shortly after our tenenacy and we were informed that if we disagreed with their assessment we would have to follow the arbitration process.Me and my partner spent countless hours on this form providing irrefutable proof of lying, gaslighting and pointing out numerous instances of gross incompetence over the 12 months we had the displeasure of dealing with this trash company.The arbitration process was an unnecessary and extraordinary mentally taxing process which I will never forgive Stirling Ackroyd for making us go through.I'll end on some good news. The arbitration process was a success and we were found in the right and recovered the majority of our deposit.I really hope that someone reads this and decides to steer clear of renting from this company.I'd actually love more than anything if someone we had the displeasure of corresponding with during this process is reading.Thanks for returning OUR money (under duress) we're going on a nice holiday x

I am writing a review for David Harvey…

I am writing a review for David Harvey in particular at Stirling Ackroyd, rather than Stirling Ackroyd. We were having some issues with this company that were not being resolved and it was becoming increasingly frustrating. David happened to pick up the phone when I called in again and even though the issue we were having was absolutely nothing to do with him, he was brilliant - not only did he take my issue seriously, he dealt with it immediately and also followed it up until the issue was actually solved. We had been having problems resolving the issue since April/May, I tried to speak with 4 other people, but made no progress and David resolved it within 1 day. Not only are we really grateful for the issue being solved, but the speed and manner with which it was done - he was polite, calm, efficient and just a really nice person to deal with - thankyou!

It was a very difficult time for me

It was a very difficult time for me, my mother had just passed and her house needed to be sold. I dealt mainly with Joel Gooden at the beginning and he was excellent in explaining everything to me, keeping me informed. The rest of the team were amazing, informative, helpful and made the process one less thing I needed to worry about. Very happy with the service and more than happy to recommend.

Great customer service from Ryan at Sterling

I dealt with Ryan Johnson at Sterling Ackroyd in recent month and he offered stellar customer service. He kept in touch regularly with me over years, after I first contacted him a few years ago mentioning that I would sell my house at some point; this shows great business acumen. More recently he advised on current house prices in my areas and what a good price for my flat would be. He was always kind, approachable, prompt and helpful. Excellent service

I don’t usually write reviews and recommend businesses to go through for other people but , Stirling Ackroyd’s service , in particular by a man named Jad was beyond great. My first encounter was when I was in Brixton (Being from north, I’m sure you can guess I’m not familiar with Brixton). I was lost . I went into a few shops and they disregarded me for directions to get to the place I was traveling to. Then I went into Stirling Ackroyd where Jad had just finished a phone call. Well presented , he stood up, greeted me and showed me how to get where I wanted to end up. The second encounter was when I was trying to find a property in the area. He was very helpful on the phone and is keeping me updated for the properties that may be of interest. This constant update is helpful in keeping stress levels down as I know someone is trying to find the correct property for me that I can call a home. I would definitely recommend going to at least Stirling Ackroyd, if not Jad for services.

Taija has been absolutely fantastic in dealing with finding a tenant for my property. She's on the ball, has good communication skills and was happy to accommodate our different time zones while I was away. I highly recommend Taija and Stirling Ackroyd in general. Thank you kindly😁

Great personalised experienced and seamless process! Jad was an absolute star througout the whole process, from viewing, to offer, to references and contract follow-up. He kept me informed through what can be a pretty stressfull experience and helped to accommodate my requests. If you are looking to let a property, look no further than the team at Stirling Akroyd!

Abysmal Service

Stirling Ackroyd was absolutely wonderful when I signed my tenancy with them. However, now that I’ve ended my tenancy, I am having to fight to get my deposit back - like many others have reported in their previous reviews. There is no communication unless I chase. I have had to call and email - all of which are ignored or when I do get a response, it’s over 3 weeks later. I have only recently received the inventory report from check out (I left my flat over a month ago, so why am I only getting the information now), and it’s because I had to chase. Despite my emails including my address in the subject and message, I have been asked for the address several times, as if I hadn’t included them. Unfortunately, I will now have to file a dispute, and will be contacting the Ombudsman and my lawyer, to see what the next steps are, as it’s clear that while Stirling Ackroyd may have good reviews, they have no interest in helping me, have let me down and I cannot recommend them.

Bad management service and very slow

Usually I never write a review, but this agency is let me down many times with propriety management .I been with many agencies the worst I deal with it it’s Stirling Ackroyd.I rent a house with them around 3 years.And due this 3 years 4-5 times they changed property management and they didn’t notice the tenants, when I have problems in the property and try to contact the property manager they left the company. Also it’s very slow service if you have in issue in your property when you phone them they will ask you to write in email, and they respond to your email after one week .However any issues in your property it takes more Thant 4 weeks to sort if you are lucky.My advise from my experience if anyone have a chance with another agent please avoid Starting Ackroyd.

House Valuation

I received a call from Sandra Holmes at Stirling Ackroyd on Monday regarding my property, Sandra ran through several services that Stirling Ackroyd offered and asked me what plans we had if any with regards to our house. Unfortunately this time we were not in the market to sell but knowing that we were due to be renewing our mortgage sometime soon I asked if a valuation could be organised for us. This was carried out the very next day as I was very busy at work myself, and conveniently Sandra managed to book in a survey to fit in with my work schedule which was great. This was carried out by Matthew Parr, one of the sales directors, very professional and knowledgeable. I would like to thank Sandra for all her help and impeccable customer service, a true asset. A great team to deal with.

Great Property Management Service

Stirling Ackroyd have managed our portfolio of properties for a few years now and we are very happy with the service provided. Our property managers Lisa and Samantha have been extremely helpful. Very well organised and always very attentive. Assistance and response is very prompt and handled with care. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

She checked in prior to the move to introduce herself and is so responsive if I have any questions. I am very pleased with Stirling Ackroyd and more specially, having Melissa as my property manager.

Alpha thank you so much for all your help in selling our house, couldn’t have done it without you. I can’t recommend Towends enough. They always gave us feedback after each viewing and kept us up to date with everything throughout the whole process. Even after the sale I had a few enquiries which they dealt with efficiently. Also, thanks to Ashley and Aaron for all your help. Thanks guys! Alima
