Stirling Ackroyd Clapton reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

I didn’t end up buying a property from Sterling Ackroyd, but I still wanted to write a review to warmly recommend Aimee and Victoria at the Clapton office. Throughout my search, they were wonderful. They stayed in touch and kept me abreast on new properties arriving on the market, and very generously offered their advice when I offered on flats represented by other estate agents, something I deeply appreciated as a first-time buyer.

Awful company. Severe lack of professionalism and etiquette.

Awful company with a severe lack of professionalism and etiquette. We purchased a property through this agent, and their rudeness, constant threats, unprofessional emails, false accusations, and overall treatment of buyers are terrible. When raised with their area director, our email was ignored. In addition, their description of the property was inaccurate and they refused to hand over the keys on the day of completion, forcing us to go to the property and speak to the previous owners directly. I would never use or recommend this company. They turned what should have been an exciting period into a more stressful, anger-inducing experience. To add, they even contacted our estate agent and criticised us, the buyer, referring to us as liars. I have reported their actions to the Property Ombudsman.

Exceptional service

Aimee and the team at Stirling Ackroyd in Hackney achieved the full target price in a very challenging market, but what really impressed me was the rest of their exceptional service.

Very impressed and highly recommend.

We sold our house via the Egham team last year. Mark, who is the Regional Manager, and Harry who was our Sales agent were both excellent, very professional. We had three valuations and Stirling gave us the highest of the three. Normally the advice is to not just go with the highest price, but Mark, Harry and Ben who came to see the house, all genuinely had such enthusiasm and confidence in finding us a buyer, we took the leap. They did not disappoint and we sold for just 5k under our asking price, far more than we expected. Harry kept in regular contact and always called me back if he was out of the office. If you are selling in the Egham area I would highly recommend Stirling Ackroyd over the other prominent agent in the area who did not even bother to to call us back after their much lower valuation.

I recently purchased through Stirling Ackroyd as a first time buyer, and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of service. Victoria, Jan, Saima and the team were fantastic at ensuring things were pressing along in a timely manner, chasing sellers and solicitors likewise. Whenever there were issues, they were quick to communicate and iron things out with transparency. I can't recommend them enough, they made a stressful process seamless. Thank you so much to the team.

Letting agents

We’ve had Stirling Ackroyd as our letting agent twice and they never disappoint. They are very reachable and easy to work with. Briana is the best property! She replies promptly to our emails and always has answers with our questions. All that we need fixing in our flat, she sorts it out immediately. We are very happy to have worked with her from beginning till the end of our tenancy!

Holding Deposit without reason

We were in a non-deposit scheme, and opted for leaving it. The company accepted our deposit, but at the end of the contract, they retained the money equivalent to as if we were to keep paying it. They recognize that it was a mistake, but after 3 months, there is no payment still. Every time we go there they say that they will solve it, but never happens.

I would say this is the worst agency in…

I would say this is the worst agency in my whole life with whom I have to deal. We rented an apartment 5months ago. The condition in which apartment was given to me was inhabitable. There was mould dampness all over the apartment. Inventory was not even provided as promised. There agent lied to us on so many levels, and when we raised complaints they were ignored as it was verbal discussion.

Our experience with this Surveying…

Our experience with this Surveying Company was excellent. Not only did they do the survey quickly, but the report was emailed to us within 2 days. The Surveyor (Jeff) did a very thorough survey and we couldn't have been happier. Thank you very much - we would recommend you to anyone wanting a survey.

A good job well done…

Anthony Wilkinson-Denny and his team have been absolutely brilliant handling the sale of my flat. The communication from start to finish was clear and timely. It was a difficult and stressful time due to unavoidable circumstances but Anthony saw us safely through to completion. Thank you.

5 star

I have my property let through Stirling Ackroyd. I have been with the company a number of years. The past few years Sarah Jones has been my property manager and she has been outstanding. She always phones me to explain any issues and then keeps me updated until any issues are resolved. She had to deal with quite a big issue over a year ago and had to deal with the tenants on a daily basis for some time. She did so professionally and kept me updated every step of the way offering advice. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a 5 star property manager!

I had a very pleasant experience with Stirling Ackroyd

I had a very pleasant experience with this agency, they were attentive from the beginning and were very communicative, even in my abrupt departure due to unforeseen circumstances they were very helpful in handling the process to ease my transition.

Sheldan Bechie was the best

Everything with SA was so smooth. Sheldan Bechie​​​​, Letting Consultant was AMAZING! He was quick to arrange several viewings into one day, which is extremely helpful when you have a busy schedule. He drove us around and I was extremely happy when he found the perfect one. From that point onwards, the team's communication was great, with them arranging a call with the landlord and efficiently completing all the referencing and admin work within a week. Their online portal is easy to use and very helpful. The team kept me updated throughout. I can't recommend them enough.

I recently bought a property via the Clapton Stirling Ackroyd branch. As a first time buyer I found the process pretty daunting, but the team were always easy to contact, supportive and professional. It was a pleasure interacting with Aimee, Victoria, Marty and Sophie and I could not recommend them highly enough. My experience was greatly improved by working with a team who were switched on and capable, but also kind and friendly. Definitely a much better experience than I have had with other estate agents! Thank you for all of your help

Awesome results in a very tough market! Saima and the team have been an absolute joy to work with. While market conditions were against us, they sold our property within the promised timeframes and at a great price. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly, they went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel looked after and confident in our decisions throughout what can be a very stressful process. Their genuine empathy, friendliness and trustworthiness is an outstanding example for the industry. Thoroughly recommended.

Delays - Due to poor report

Having used Stirling Ackroyd to value our houses via MHBS, we would not recommend this company. It took their surveyor six attempts to write a satisfactory report for MHBS before funds were released, causing a long delay and issues with our New builders having to find other financial routes to keep our new build project going. There were no issues with the LTV but poorly written report caused delays

Polite and personable

David was polite and helpful and importantly struck the right balance between being personable and fostering a good relationship and being to the point with answering queries. Not only did he sort my viewing times out rapidly, he also recommended another property that I actually liked even more than the first, his colleague who picked up on the lead was also really helpful during the viewing tour that David organised.
