GoogleI expressed an interest in a flat in Hackney and within an hour Ross had already made contact and the next day I had not only viewed the flat, but Ross had already begun the process for me to rent it. I have found Ross to be professional, competent and blessed with a friendly and helpful manner. He has gone above and beyond in helping me sort out the paperwork needed and I would recommend Sterling Ackroyd to anyone needing to find accommodation. Thank you again.PositiveResponsiveness

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.

We strive for nothing less than excellent service, and we always take it very seriously when we hear of any dissatisfaction from our customers. We are sorry we did not meet your expectation in this instance. If you would like to contact us at customercare@lrg.co.uk we will be happy to look into this for you.Many thanks, Customer Care Team

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!

TrustpilotHighly professional, respectful agency
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.

TrustpilotCan't recommend enough
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

Rebecca Heslam has been looking after our flat for many years. She is always available if we have any queries and is quick to let us know if the tenant has any issues which we then try to resolve promptly. Rebecca is competent, reliable, always polite and very easy to talk to.

TrustpilotAWFUL - JESSICA LEBBA
AWFUL. Would give 0 stars if I could. I will never rent with them again. Jessica Lebba was our property manager and was completely useless. Took ages to respond to emails/didn't respond at all. Repairs either weren't carried out or took forever to be completed. Our balcony door was broken when we moved in and it took almost a year to fix (was fixed 2 weeks before we moved out), despite the multiple promises to repair it when we moved in, meaning we froze during the winter with a constant draught and minus degrees, meaning our heating bills were sky high. We had horrible broken beds which took a month to replace so we had no sleep for the first month of the tenancy. The ensuite toilet was also broken and despite many attempts to get Jessica arrange a contractor to fix it the repair was only done when the other toilet broke months later during lockdown leaving us with 0 functioning toilets. Stirling Ackroyd falsely advertised the flat with a roof garden which we found out we had no access to when we moved in. They are now trying to blame us for damage that was caused by previous tenants and was evident in the check-in inventory, despite our efforts to keep the flat immaculate and leaving it in better condition than it was when we moved in. I could go on but I don't want to waste any more of my time on them. Honestly AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

GoogleSo glad I chose to work with these guys as opposed to others in the marketplace that had promised more, but would likely have underdelivered. James, Yusuf and Tom are a pleasure to work with and have been quick to respond to all questions/queries and have gone above and beyond- they definitely provide the human touch , and are trustworthy and very easy to deal with. Absolutely superb service. Thank you all.
Dear Amar, thank you for taking the time to share your experience while working with James, Yusuf, Tom and the team. Great to hear how easy you found the entire process and that you felt supported throughout - Amber

TrustpilotAmong the worst for service - not recommended
Among one of the worst estate and lettings agents I have ever come across. As a landlord the most important thing is to have proper vetting of proposed tenants. Stirling Ackroyd managed to find a tenant which passed their 'stringent reference check', which of course you pay for - but it turns out after the contract had been signed, that there were multiple red flags. They then denied any responsibility for the poor quality check. Then is the responsiveness - it takes about a week for them to reply to an email, and they rarely return phone calls. Despite paying for a fully managed service, it's often up to me to chase the rent - only when you email / try to call them to ask where the rent is, do they then realise you're owed arrears. This is tip of the iceberg. I am looking to sell the property, as well as buy a few more, but there is no way I am using them.

Trustpilot5 Star Rebecca
Rebecca is always responsive, cheerful, helpful and willing to roll her sleeves up. I have had a few tricky tenants recently, who have not been honest or respectful and Rebecca has helped me resolve issues and achieve the desired outcome. She's a competent and knowledgable property manager and can be recommended.
