Terrible letting service from Stirling Ackroyd

I contracted Stirling Ackroyd to manage my property when I was letting it.The experience was terrible, as they were really hard to communicate with as I usually had to leave several messages and chase for a response. They made a terrible mess of renegotiating the contract at the end of the first year, so I then terminated my relationship with them and found it much easier to manage the property myself. Over 12 months later I am still waiting for them to transfer the deposit to my account with the Deposit Protection Service and have been making nearly daily calls for the last month to try to get this done.

Left in the rain - no communication from the agent

We had a viewing yesterday, we were stood outside the property in the pouring rain for 25 minutes and I could not get through to anyone on the phone, nor was anyone answering the buzzer. I spoke to the agent this morning, and they said they forgot to tell me yesterday that the viewing was cancelled. A waste of 2 hours of travel, money and ended up soaking wet.

Very happy with the high standard of service offered by Nick and his team. Communication was excellent and all my questions and queries were dealt with promptly. I would thoroughly recommend Stirling Ackroyd/Shoreditch to anyone wishing to sell their property in the area.

Amazing Service

Renting with Townends has been amazing from the Start. Nadine and Katie in Sunbury helping find a great home and making it easy to go through the process especially when it was our first time renting while expecting our first baby. We had a few little maintenance requests which we had to contact Katy Harris from property management to help organise it and she has been a delight to deal with being fast with responses and keeping us updated. Such an amazing team

Calm, polite and professional.

As a new property manager Saffah is no doubt finding it a challenge faced with do many tenant and landlord issues and a groaning email inbox every morning. In spite of this Saffah manages to retain a calm approach and patience. Communications with the agents in general and action on issues have been a little iffy in the past but Saffah seems professional and efficient. I think there is room for improvement overall in the property management department of the company but Saffah is obviously trying her hardest.

Spencer du Jonge is an efficient agent

We have been dealing with Spencer du Jonge to purchase a property and he is a very good efficient agent. What we have found most helpful is he always responds quickly to phone calls and messages, so we are not waiting around. If he can not take a call he will message straight away to say why, not leave you hanging. He has also been hard working to update us with news late in the evening (our of hours) so we can get on with things the next day. Spencer was also successful in completely diverting us to another type of property which I didn't originally want to see but have now changed my mind and am buying that place- if you are selling somewhere then that is the type of agent you need!

Have not had a good time under them as…

Have not had a good time under them as tenants. We have just moved out of our property let by them and it has been a nightmare. As soon as you sign the tenancy agreement, they don’t care.Once we notified that we were not renewing our contract and they put it back on the market, they would constantly try to arrange viewings a couple of hours before, despite us saying that we need 24 hour notice.The biggest thing however is our deposit. Our landlord authorised release of our deposit two weeks ago, we have emailed and called multiple times with no one answering where it is. We finally managed to get through today to a quite rude woman who said there was no record of this but looking back, she didn’t even ask for any further details or our address.Really disappointed and still awaiting our deposit.

Don't Use This Company For Anything

Would give them zero stars if that was an option but need to tick at least 1 star to register a review. Appalling service & shocking treatment of customers. Really poor internal processes which they then make their customers problem. Zero accountability for their own internal errors. While they're after small amounts of money in the short term, (multiple small amounts add up to them), it will come to bite them eventually as folks will write honest reviews like this - reading reviews, sounds like I'm not the only disgruntled customer, doesn't surprise me. Shame they don't understand the saying "what goes around comes around"

Arti is awesome

I must say Arti is the nicest and most helpful estate agent I have ever met. An absolute pleasure to talk to and he answered every single annoying question I had! Our whole experience has been positive and I highly recommend this agency for your letting or sales needs. Arti is the absolute boss... he rocks.

Alpha helped us find our house!

When we started with Stirling Ackroyd, they were called Townends.After meeting us on a few viewings, Alpha phoned me to let me know of a property about to return to market. He really knew what was important to us after collecting feedback from previous viewings and he knew we'd like this property. Our schedules were difficult to align with the sellers, but he was persistent and managed to get us in to view before anyone else. We're picking up the keys to that house today!Alpha and his team helped to make the very stressful process of buying a house as easy as he could for us. He was accommodating, understanding, and communicated very well and promptly all along the way. His handover to sales progressions was seamless. From that point, Sophie took on a lot of responsibility, especially when the sellers solicitor stopped responding to all communication from every side. She helped to keep communication moving between ourselves and the sellers. We exchanged from about 11 weeks of our offer being accepted and completed 3 weeks later (due to the Christmas holidays). I would use them again.

Excellent service from Ashley-Jane, Simon and Team

Excellent service from Ashley-Jane, Simon and the team in the sale of my property. I achieved the sale price I wanted and the process was good due to the highly responsive and professional team. Good communication ensured I was kept updated on all aspects of the sale, and the sale completed, even though it was a difficult time in the market. Excellent experience and I would recommend their services 100%.

Do not use

Used the survey to purchase a property recently and they simply did not do their job. The house was full of damp and mould, the interior walls were rendered instead of plastered and the surveyor stated he did not see any of this. I have had 4 damp experts all telling me to chase up this problem with the surveyor as it should have been spotted. They have been completely unhelpful and do not participate in any responsibility. I do not believe they even viewed the house to survey it. 100% do not recommend.

I had a lady called Jessica Wright ( surveyor) to inspect the property, to be honest it was such a awesome experience for a change , why , to actually meet someone who was extremely professional in every mannerism, very polite and talkative so it made myself feel at ease , it was such a lovely experience because Jessica was actually talking about her job and also about the town , Jessica looked really happy and extremely content doing her job , what was also nice to hear that Jessica was talking about the company itself so it also gave me great insight how professional the company is , T’s crossed I’s dotted , Jessica had a excellent Personal attitude, she listened to all questions and feedback with no hesitation, Another Brilliant point which I would like to mention: because of these extremely uncertain times regarding COVID, we all need to do our part , unfortunately a lot of peoples are becoming complacent, Jessica could certainly do the catwalk for PPE , wearing the mask correctly covering nose and mouth , excellent choice of mask because it didn’t muffled her voice , plus she was wearing gloves at all times ,Just like to say well done to Jessica because the way she conducted herself in such a professional way , which I have always said over the years regarding different industries, each individual represents the company who they work for and each individual can make a company stand out from the rest and put them a head of the game , so we’ll done Stirling Ackroyd keep your standards high and look after staff and they will bring great rewards to the company, remember no ( i ) in team , it’s i and you that makes the TEAM, so that needs to be always implemented from the TOP to keep successful, Excellent Kind regards Mr S porter Atlas mill Bolton

Impressive rental service

Very focussed and dynamic agency. They contacted me and said they could rent my one bedroom flat in Covent Garden quickly. They delivered within a week: first a short let to keep up the cash flow (I was reluctant to do so, but Henry went out of his way to help with purchases), immediately followed by a long let. Impeccable.

5 Star Service

Stirling Ackroyd lives up to its claims as an experienced, professional company with a knowledgeable and dedicated staff. In all my dealings with members of their Lettings team I have found them to be prompt, reliable, polite and friendly. I would especially like to acknowledge Clive Martin who has been the point of contact as my Property Manager since 2012. As I live overseas, it is particularly important that I have someone that I can rely on and trust to have my best interests at heart. Over the past nine years, Clive’s ongoing assistance and support has been invaluable. Clive always deals with any queries or concerns promptly and he efficiently resolves any problems that may occur. I am also kept fully informed of any procedures or actions that need to be undertaken, which is reassuring and very much appreciated. I would strongly recommend Stirling Ackroyd.Thank you, Clive and the team.Elaine (Australia)

Rahat Mazumder is incredible!

A huge huge thank you to the Stirling Ackroyd team across the board. Every agent that has been in touch with us was super welcoming, kind and supportive! We’ve had a few obstacles along the way on our tenant side, and Stirling Ackroyd have been very patient and supportive throughout! Glad to be moving into a property knowing we’ll have continued support from Stirling Ackroyd!

worst agents ever stay away

I shall never rent through Stirling Ackroyd again, this company only thinks about two things protecting themselves and the landlord. it is disgusting the way they treat you; they do not care about you at all. fence down nothing done for nearly three months, had items damage in the garden as we lived next to an alleyway. bathroom shower was leaking, downstairs ceiling was going mouldy, in fact it was that bad we had to call council out in the end. we left 7 months later leaking shower and mould was the same and they even let the new people move in with lots of promises. do not rent off Stirling Ackroyd, you will be very sorry you did. yes, they should win a prise for worst estate agent out there. They threaten you if I stopped paying the £2800 a month rent, this is their behaviour.

Big shout out to Clair and Jordan…

Big shout out to Clair and Jordan regarding the sale of my property, at times I felt I was going to have a nervouse breakdown, and the solictors drove me up the wall they was so slow. If it wasnt for the help I got from Claire and Jordan I would've pulled out, any anxiety I had they was at the end of the phone carming me down. Sophie who dealt with sales progression was also a great help. if I was ever going to sell my new house I'd let Claire and Jordan handle it for me 100%
