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.

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 :)

Flat hunting with Luke was a lot of fun! He was very attentive making sure we only visited the kind of places which met my criteria. Always patiently responding to all my questions and easy to communicate with. He knows the area very well and gave me a lot of useful tips.

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.

Fantastic team - made a real difference

Ashley-Jane at Stirling Ackroyd was exceptional during my flat purchase. She was incredibly knowledgable, compassionate and patient throughout, even when it seemed the sale had fallen through, she was as committed and available as when it was in process. I genuinely think that without someone as trustworthy, empathetic and experienced as Ashley, the sale would not have recovered and completed. She was able to bring creative solutions, keep morale up and foster an attitude of trust and compassion during a stressful time. Can’t recommend enough! Compared to other places where basic errors are made (e.g., the wrong property address is entered…) and communication is poor, this was a total gold standard service. I genuinely recommend registering with Stirling Ackroyd. My inbox is full of emails advertising ‘properties that might be of interest’ containing properties the polar opposite of what I’m looking for. When Ashley-Jane showed me places, I loved them, made offers, and bought one!

Stirling Ackroyd sales department was amazing! Joanna, I wanted to mention you a personal note to say a huge thank you for all you have done with our sale! You have been highly professional, supportive and friendly throughout the entire process. In particular, your determination and genuine intention for wanting to sale the property for us. It hasn’t been an easy journey, however, knowing I could call you or Victor at any point and the fact you always kept me in the loop and returned all my calls/emails so promptly, made the experience far less stressful. Thank you Jo & Victor and I wish the whole team the very best in future.

Letizia Lupi is a rockstar

Our initial relationship with Stirling was a bit rocky as one of associates assigned to us wasn’t responsive to our email and required us constantly follow up with them.However, things turned around after Letizia Lupi took over as our property manager. She was a god sent and was highly accommodating of our requests when we had maintenance requests with a new born.I’d have given a 5 star if only we got Letizia as our property manager from the beginning.Highly recommend her!Thank you!
