TrustpilotDishonest - please avoid
Please... do not put yourself at risk by using these people.They had no idea about the property condition until 5days before moving in date, despite indicating otherwise The "virtual viewing" video they sent to me, was not filmed by them and did not represent the issues with the propertyThey "arranged" an in-person viewing a week in advance... well a week in advance with me, they apparently didn't call the tenant until that day and he understandably blew them off.They wanted me to drop 6months upfront rent because I wasn't moving out of my current property before moving into theirs... something I am very grateful for now.When they finally checked the property, they said it was uninhabitable, that issues had been outstanding for months but they would be sure to "raise the issues with the landlord"... My experience dovetails with Jonny's (below) so well that I might have been the one attempting to move into his place.

TrustpilotDo not use this agency
Do not use this agency. Awful and slow communication. We reported a major plumbing issue and after 9 months it was still not dealt with. Took 4 months to get someone out to see it, and then they were happy to let the Landlord just sit on the quote and not do anything about it. Moving out process was awful, we were asked if we wanted to stay 5 months prior to our tenancy ending only for us to here under 2 months to go the Landlord would be selling. Getting our deposit back has been a nightmare. All in all an awful experience and we will avoid any future properties that use this agency.

Outstanding service from the Shoreditch office. Nick was the most knowledgeable agent we interviewed and then secured us an offer after just 1 viewing, couldn’t have asked for more.

TrustpilotGreat staff (especially the women!)
I am not a fan of estate agents - as they are very expensive, but this has nothing to do with the staff, as they do not make up the fees. Therefore, I would like to say a BIG "Thank You" to: Samantha, Rebecca, Melissa and Erika. Each one of them is an asset to Stirling Ackroyd. Very efficient, hard working and always willing to help, even when I ask lots of questions. The four of them are amazing!

TrustpilotI Feel Sorry For My Landlord
I was a tenant for under a year at a Stirling Ackroyd managed property. We enacted our break clause, in large part, down to the poor service offered by the Stirling Ackroyd team.This poor service included:- Poor condition of the property on check-in (a hole in the front door, a cupboard in the kitchen left unattached to the cabinets for example).- Not fixing problems for months (in fact, two of three issues with the property remained even when we left).- Dreadful response times to emails. We'd often go a week or two, with chasing, before hearing back from our lettings manager regarding issues.Our poor landlord was charged a fee for a "service" that essentially pushed us away as rent-payers. I estimate from their website they charged our landlord £4k in management fees. That £4k was charged to deal with 3 problems, only one of which was actually fixed with (over 3 months and several emails of chasing later). Add to that the fact the property was left vacant for at least a month after we enacted our break clause, and that adds up to £6.5k that the landlord was left out of pocket. I'm actually angry thinking Stirling Ackroyd earned £4k a service that any landlord could easily manage to better alongside a full-time job!Landlords, take this from a tenant that's actually experienced their service: This is the worst property management company I have ever dealt with by a distance. I will never be renting another Stirling Ackroyd property again, no matter how nice the property is. With their abysmal Trustpilot score showing I'm not alone, it will only be a matter of time until you're scratching your head wondering why your tenant hasn't renewed their rental period again....

I had the pleasure speaking with Ellie Kozaki. I’m a first time buyer and she helped me step by step what to do as I felt so lost at the start. Very knowledgeable, approachable and always checked in to see how I’m getting on with the search. She made the process stress free and I couldn’t thank her enough and now I have the keys to my first home. Excellent service.

TrustpilotNightmare END of tenancy
All fine until I moved out and required my deposit back. 5 weeks since I left my flat, in the exact condition I received it in. Clean, tidy and fully paid up but am chasing and chasing with no success.
