Absolute scammers

Absolute scammers! The original name of the company was Townedns ( check their reviews in Trust pilot) and because the have totally lost their reputation they decided to change the name to Stirling Ackroyd! Lied from the very beginning of the contract. When it came to maintenance it was absolute nightmare. We have been waiting for fridge replacement 6 months and at the we got ew fridge that was half of the original fridge size. We have been fighting for 1 year, 1 year, can you imagine , to get 1 sqm of shower ceiling that was moulded to be decorated, silicon, also moulded to be changed, they have sent 4 different people to finish the job alm of the absolutely out of the depth. 4 people to finish job for one for not more than a day. It turned out that they have charged the Landlord thousands for that , can you imagine! I would never ever recommend such a scammer even to my biggest enemy!

Freddie has been incredibly helpful

Freddie has been incredibly helpful. He organised valuations, gave me sensible advice and regularly checked in with me: never pushy, always polite and well informed.

Really great team at Dalston

Really great team at Dalston (Sufina, Yusuf ++), they are brilliant, efficient and seamless. I was really weary of the whole renting process, having had a poor experience with a different estate company last year. The team at Dalston took the time to listen, answer all my questions and understood where I was coming from, really helpful. They actually went above and beyond and helped me with a bit of advice on my tenancy rights, as I was having a hard time with my previous landlord. Thanks so much.

Great Customer Service from Abhijit Gooptu (Abby)

The Process could not have been made easier for me. Working with Abby was a positive experience. Communications were clear and timely. No surprises.

I strongly recommend against entrusting SA with your rental property

I strongly recommend against entrusting Stirling Ackroyd (prev Townends)with the management of your rental property. Their staff are poorly trained, inexperienced and lack a professional approach. They simply act as a postbox between landlord, tenant and contractors without any of the management you pay heavily for. Their contractors are overpriced and distance themselves from any accountability to you as the landlord.I was stuck with this shocking level of service for 3 years.Please think again and consider a small local agent whose staff cannot disappear within a large organisation.

Full Lettings Service - Poor

I had a tenant who stopped paying over 5 months ago. Lettings Team could not get hold of the tenant as she was in USA did not respond to emails or mobile messages. After 2 months of rental arrears a section 8 was about to be served by Stirling Ackroyd as a Full Management Client which after review by my solicitor, it contained errors so another one had to be served a month later. I requested on numerous occasions to view the property again the tenant did not respond. Stirling Ackroyd had to be emailed, called on several occasions and I had to visit the branch to escalate the viewing request.I have had to deal with 5 people at Stirling Ackroyd on serving of notice, viewing request, tenancy arrears and lettings over the past 4 months .The tenant finally responded a few weeks ago on the request to view the property. On visiting it looked as if she had left.Last week I asked if Stirling Ackroyd could confirm if the tenant has moved out. I am still awaiting a response back if the tenant has moved out. I raised a complaint over 4 weeks it is still not resolved due to Lettings Team and Tenancy Teams been on holiday at Stirling Ackroyd.

They have been owing us £600 for more than a month!

We've been renting through Stirling Ackroyd since 2014 and the overall experience wasn't the greatest but eventually, they helped with all problems we have had with our flat. However, we moved out of the property exactly 1 month ago and they still owe us over £600 which is an amount equal to what we overpaid for our last month in the flat! Our property manager promised us to receive this within 3-5 working days and even though I've called them numerous times, they always say someone will get in touch but they never will. They hold our money and there's literally nothing we can do about it. Think twice before using them as when a problem arises, they will simply ignore you!

As a portfolio buy-to-let investor

As a portfolio buy-to-let investor, I have relied on Gavin as my trusted residential lettings agent for over 15 years. I cannot imagine going to another agent as Gavin, Siobhan, Jad, and the rest of the team are exceptional at their job. Their dedication to serving landlords and tenants equally, ensuring that both parties are treated with care from the outset, is truly impressive. In fact, my tenants are so satisfied with their experience that they wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team to their friends and family.

From start to finish James and the team were extremely professional and helpful with letting out our property. They were able to find a secure a tenant for us in a very short space of time and communicated with us in a timely fashion regarding each step in the process. Overall, an excellent service.

Excellent service with Stirling Ackroyd!

My experience with Stirling Ackroyd was outstanding from my very first interaction at the valuation stage all the way through to completion. Victor and Jo were really communicative, knowledgeable, persistent and I really felt like I could trust them. The service they provided made the stressful process of selling a house for the first time so smooth and almost enjoyable. Thanks guys, I would recommend you a thousand times over :)

Cameron Dunning was extremely helpful in my search for a flat. His communication was brilliant and he went over and above to try and secure my property- working out of office hours and always being available whenever I called/messaged. I highly recommend using Cameron in your search for a property.

Had a very pleasant and efficient experience with Yousuf here in getting a flat. He was on top of all the communications, very friendly, professional, and very efficient. The move in process was smooth and there were no un-knowns at any point in the process. Thank you so much for your help!
