Amazing customer service!
Within five minutes of sending my enquiry, I received a call from Ashley. What fantastic customer service! She asked me a few questions about what I was looking for and promptly sent me an email with further information about the property. She was very sympathetic and friendly.
Dear Talita Teixeira ItaliaCustomer 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, Customer Care Team

Rogues not paying back deposit money.
I am disgusted by the way I am being treated by SA. I rented a property which was mould infested, had to end my contract as despite raising the issue with the property’s manager, the landlord refused to fix the issue. No communication by SA. One month after vacating the property I have not received my deposit back. They did not email me important documentation as their system was down. I have to chase them to get updates as they do not email me or call me to update me. I’m being treated with constant contempt and disrespect for my dignity. These people are rogues. Avoid renting from them. I have complained, spoken to managers, emailed, called and nothing. Close to 4K on owed monies.

Unfair and Biased Survey
Had survey completed on back of cash offer received on property. Spent last eight years upgrading and improving all aspects of property. Having received the report it was totally biased, did not mention our immaculate property in any detail at all just focused on a landslip many miles away from us. We are built on rock so no issues at all neither with any surrounding houses in village some built in the 1800’s and still standing very solidly. This biased and unfair report led to our cash offer being reduced by £65k on what was an already reduced offer from a cash sale company leading to us losing the property we had reserved. Is one in the hands of the other? It is peoples’ lives you’re messing with remember that.

CAMERON JONES
CAMERON JONES I have had a portfolio of properties that have been looked after by Cameron and the team at Stirling Ackroyd over the last 6 years. Cameron has always been extremely helpful going above and beyond his responsibilities with the upmost professionalism. Accounting and finance has never been my strong point, so having an expert like Cameron patiently dealing with my requests has been crucial to managing my accounts.

I strongly recommend against trusting SA
I strongly recommend against trusting Stirling Ackroyd with the management of your house. Their staff are poorly trained, inexperienced and lack a professional approach. They simply act as a middle man between landlord, tenant and contractors without any real management expertise. I was stuck with this outgoing repairs including a freezing house during 2 winters in a row yet still there are an obscene amount of things which require repair. I had a broken window for 3 months as well during summer (luckily) and had to deal with all sorts of issues because of that. Property manager went on vacation only to forget about this issue completely. Their only goal is to save their landlords some money. Now they are trying to make it a condition that only if I renew my contract will they fix the freezing temperatures I have been dealing with for more than 1 year and a half.

Just wanted to give credit where it is due...
Really pleased with the service provided by Tim Nagamani (Senior Property Manager)Unfortunately there were a number of issues with my property let which left me totally deflated and disappointed with how matters had been handled previously. Tim came along and resolved them all without much reference to myself. It was amazing! A real credit to the company.Thank you Tim!

Recommend to avoid
The onboarding process was smooth, but unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended. Communication throughout the sale was poor, and it took far too long for them to even put up a “For Sale” sign at the property.

Jack was a star!
Jack was super helpful, asked lots of great questions and made me feel very listened to. Communicated clearly and made quick actions to organise not just my viewings but my needs with potentially selling as well!

Don't bother doing business with this real estate agency.
Don't bother doing business with Stirling Ackroyd!They would advertise a place at a certain price, take 20 offers on it and then entertain every person who placed an offer to bid against others which will ultimately raise the asking price of the propriety by 20%. They are doing nothing but damaging what is already a difficult real estate market.Communication is extremely poor, they won't keep you in the loop nor inform if your offer was successful or not.To be frank I doubt they are even presenting all the offers to the landlord, they would most likely show off by putting forward only offers way above the asking price. I've been working with other agencies who have made it very clear they would be unable to do any viewings or take offers once a propriety is under offer but Stirling Ackroyd works like no one else on the market and I mean it in the worst possible way.If you are a landlord or a tenant looking for your next successful rental please take your business anywhere else but Stirling Ackroyd.

Big thanks to Abby!
Thank you to Abby who made our last minute tenancy change over as seamless and simple as it could have been. We know it normally can take up to 7-10 days to change over a tenant with referencing etc. Abby was always very responsive and kept in touch with me to ensure the process would be dealt with quickly. Thanks so much Abby, we all really appreciate your help.

Very responsive agent
We had to change the names on our tenancy contract. Rahat has been super helpful, maintaining a clear and transparent communication with all parties involved and making sure that everything was done quickly. Thank you so much Rahat!

Henry and team at SA worked hard to find a new tenant before expiry of previous lease. They snapped to work like a well oiled machine, combining great personal service with commercial efficiency. Many thanks, can't recommend enough.
Thank you for taking the time to leave the review Patrick, we appreciate it

Kyle Moran was great
Kyle Moran was great. While the process is never easy, he was very good at keeping me informed throughout and also very responsive which helped to take some of the pressure off. Not pushy either and would recommend.
Thank you Graham, we appreciate your comments

Never use this agent
This is the worst agency I have ever worked with. We are paying full management fees, but everytime there is a problem with our property they do absolutely nothing. I have to chase them constantly for getting the barely minimum done. They have also messed up in accounts in the past. Unresponsive, unprofessional. If you want to let your property, I recommend to stay away from them.
Hi, I am sorry to read your feedback. Please contact us using help@stirlingackroyd.com as we would like to understand what may have happened and offer any further support that may be needed. We look forward to hearing from you - Amber

My experience with Strling Ackroyd & specifically Yusuf, James & Jade was amazing. The team helped me and my partner move into our first flat and kept us well informed, at peace and relaxed every step of the way. Yusuf especially provided great support and a warm & pleasant experience, it's like he'd known me for years! Would definitely recommend the teams services
