We just moved in our new house and were very well supported along the way by Harry H. and his team. We had a tight timeline and he had answers to all our questions quickly and efficiently which facilitated the process for us first time buyers. It was a pleasure working with him!
Hi Letendre, thanks for taking the time to leave feedback for Harry. We wish you all the best in your new home - Claire, Customer Engagement

Tajiah and her team in Mitcham
Tajia and her team in the Mitcham branch were incredibly helpful and kept us updated regularly on all that was happening. Tajia was brilliant at understanding the complexity of our situation in renting out our property. We managed to get all the remedial works done on time and get the property rented out at a better price then we had original bargained for. Would definitely recommend using Tajia and her team at Stirling Ackroyd again.

Great Service and Follow up
Rino Russo was fantastic professional. Arranging surveys , valuation and finding a good tenant really on time . We bought property and was in process of refurbishing, he was following up the whole process and manage to find a right deal . Had many offers from other agents but chooses Stirling Ackroyd because of Rino & Chantelle service ππ½

Good renting experience
I rented a property through Stirling Ackroyd for a year and the property was managed by Rebecca Haslem. My experience throughout was very smooth. Rebecca was always quick to respond to all my questions and queries. I did not face any issues with either the tenancy or the move procedures.

First class service from Rebecca
Rebecca Heslam has managed my property for 4 years, before Stirling Ackroyd took over the agency she then worked at. She has been amazing, attentive and super responsive. There were some issues during lockdown with a tricky tenant, and she was really informative and helped me through a difficult time.
5/5
Great Team!
I contacted Harrisons in August last year and Rebecca Heslam has been my main point of contact since. The process of letting my property was flawless and she has been very helpful throughout. Rebecca and her team have been nothing short of amazing and I would highly recommend Stirling Ackroyd (who have purchased Harrisons since). Highly professional and knowledgeable team, always on hand to make the landlord and tenants experience stress free.

Shambolic
Iβm letting a house through Stirling Ackroyd & paying 9% of the rent in management fees. For this I spend days on end chasing them to even reply to an email.The βcarefully vettedβ tenants they found are trashing my house. I raised this with them 3 weeks ago & they gave the tenants 2 weeks to clean the place. When this deadline had expired I chased the agent to follow up - there then followed 7 days of me calling them but the property manager still did not respond to me or the tenants. The deadline they set is meaningless: why should the tenants have any respect for my property when the agent clearly doesnβt?After 8 days without reply, at 9am yesterday I called Stirling Ackroyd to raise my concerns with Natalia who manages the property management team and was told sheβd call me back. She still hasnβt bothered to call me.I used to manage this house myself & got an agent in to lighten the load. Using Stirling Ackroyd has resulted in even more time, hassle and stress for which Iβm paying them hundreds of pounds per month. Theyβre a complete shambles.

Tenant beware, unprofessional agency
Tenant beware - unfortunately after a decent lettings process with Melissa, the move-in and management since have been terrible. There were a number of issues upon move-in with no response from the company including regarding statutory obligations (appliances not working, pest problems, unsanitary conditions, mould), with only a "we are understaffed due to COVID". This is ridiculous given managed lettings is the only part of the company with guaranteed recurring income. Just as one example, I have not been able to sleep a single night and have resorted to sleeping in the lounge due to a loud, broken fan in the bedroom. It took 1.5 weeks before Stirling Ackryod (Sarah) finally scheduled an engineer visit. Now the day before the visit when I called the contractor to confirm (after 4 emails asking for the contractor details), I have been told the appointment was never made.

Great estate agency
Great estate agency; very polite, professional and helpful in their approach. Estate agent took his time in explaining the process and made a valuable recommendations to me. I didnβt feel pushed or rushed in making any decision which is very unlikely to other estate agencies we came across lately.. Thank you for your great service! much appreciated
Hi Elvira,Customer care is important to us so we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and for giving us a 5 star rating! Many thanks, Claire

House buyers survey
House buyers survey done to a very low standard. I feel nothing had been pointed out that that we had not seen. Lots of recommendations to bring in other contractors. After getting the keys to property and spending a few hours in the property my untrained eye cracks in brick work as one example. If this is the industry standard it is a complete waste of money.
Hi Ryan, Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the survey carried out by our RICS qualified surveyor. We take a great pride in the quality of survey we offer as demonstrated by the many positive reviews posted by our satisfied clients. I understand your surveyor has been in touch with you directly to offer any additional information you may require and to outline the expectations of the different surveys available. I understand in this instance the correct information was presented to you inline with the survey you instructed. Thank you for choosing Stirling Ackroyd, Kind regards, Amber

Thank you so very much
Thankfully, selling my property was nothing but an easy, smooth sailing process. I have never worked with Stirling Ackroyd before and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. I initially spoke with Freddie, from their central team, who gave me advice on the current market and the best things to do with my property, he was phenomenally helpful with brilliant customer service skills. Thank you to Freddie and all at Stirling Ackroyd.

Efficient work from Clive Martin at SA
We noticed we had faulty appliances and we contacted our property manager Clive Martin from SA about it. Clive organised a contractor to come identify the problem the next day and the faulty appliances were replaced in no time. Clive was extremely helpful and swift in his actions, which made our life easier in a difficult situation. We find him an excellent manager who is easy to reach and efficient.

First time buyers experience
We are on the process of buying a property sold via Stirling Ackroyd. Spencer de Jonge has been our main point of contact, so far we are happy with the process.Overall:- Polite when showing us around, not pushy- Good at responding to emails- Did try to get us validated by their own mortgage advisor, but we had no issues when we decided to proceed with our own.

Natalie David from the Byfleet officeβ¦
Natalie David from the Byfleet office was very good in a very difficult situation. She always replied to my emails promptly, was always polite and patient and was the only one who gave us confidence that something would be achieved and followed through with. We were not at all pleased with the service from Stirling Ackroyd, but would like thank Natalie for everything she did to help us.

Warning: Shady Tactics Ahead!
Warning: Shady Tactics Ahead!Writing this review under the name Daniel to protect privacy. My experience with Stirling Ackroyd was a disappointment. They promise one thing on the phone but do another via email, leading to confusion. The agents are rude and arrogant, showing no respect. They also use manipulative tactics to push buyers into overpaying. Save yourself the trouble and avoid Stirling Ackroyd!!!
Dear Daniel, please get in touch using help@stirlingackroyd.com to share your experience with us where we will offer any support that may be needed. Kind regards, Amber

Stirling Ackroyd were very patient andβ¦
Stirling Ackroyd were very patient and thorough during the sale of my flat. I found that everyone I dealt with was very professional and courteous at all times too. It was a challenging task to sell my flat during a pandemic, but they gave me great advice the entire time and really helped guide me through the process. Special mention to Sam Currie for going the extra mile for me too!

James Banister - highly recommended!
I've been renting my flat through Stirling Ackroyd for the past 4 years, James Banister is the managing agent of the flat and I can highly recommend him. He promptly responds to all my emails about issues I may have with the flat (e.g. hot water or boiler related) and every single time he has sent maintenance to fix any issues as soon as possible. I can always rely on James.
