One of the worst agency experience…

One of the worst agency experience ever! do not trust or get involved with these guys in the Staines office, they play with your time and don’t treat you with respect, ignore your calls, and never call back, that when you have placed an offer.We were told we don’t have an answer as the owner is not replying, we through something is fishy, my wife called back from another number after two days and she was told that we have just accepted the holding deposit on this apartment. Shame on such agents! Fully story below:We viewed a couple of apartments with Sterling on Tuesday evening at 6 PM. Next morning we emailed them our offer at 9:00 AM. Kept following up with them for half a day to get an answer we have not seen the offer as we have been very busy. After they saw the offer, they said they will talk to the owners and come back to us. They knew that we wanted to close this quickly and were evaluating this vs. another property which was our second preference.Whole of that day and even the next day, the associates kept ignoring our calls. I got a message back saying he would call me back soon, but that soon never happened as well.We were just trying to revise our offer but they never wanted to talk. We were told the owner is overseas and is not replying. The next day when we were told that the owner is not replying, we felt something is fishy and my wife decided to call them to ask about this property, she was told they have accepted the holding deposit on this flat.Clearly we were treated super badly. we would never recommend this office to anyone else. You have 2-3 other agencies just down the road, you are better off going there. At-least we can assure you would be treated with respect and you wont feel ignored.

Marc Twinberrow associate property manager has always been extremely helpfully in resolving any issues I have and being a client who lives in America having someone like him on your team is a blessing

Terrible experience, avoid is possible…

Terrible experience with Stirling Ackroyd, particularly due to the poor management by our assigned agent, Dottie Wilson. Communication was consistently lacking, we had to chase her with multiple emails just to get basic responses, and even then, the replies were often vague or unhelpful. Throughout our tenancy, she offered little to no support, and never provided real solutions to the issues we raised. It always felt like she was acting entirely in the landlord’s interest, with no consideration for us as tenants. A very frustrating and disappointing experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this agency if possible.

I have always received an excellent service while working with Stirling Ackroyd. I have had tenants on and off for years even before the rebranding. Rino has been my main point of contact for a over a year and has been so professional, polite and more importantly is always quick to respond to requests whether for market rental reviews or just information. I would absolutely recommend Stirling Ackroyd to my friends because of quality service received.

Absolutely brilliant!

We dealt with the Egham office where Mark. Ben and the team were brilliant. Quite frankly there was no comparison when selecting the estate agent we wanted to use compared to others in the area. Mark & Ben were very professional and were always on hand to answer questions giving us so much support through the whole procedure. From the valuation, viewings, paperwork through to completion it was a pleasure to deal with them. Five stars plus plus from me!

I found Stirling Ackroyd to be great and I would highly recommend Jack who helped us find our new home. He was very helpful and very responsive to any queries and guided me through the process extremely well. Always kept me informed and explained everything so clearly. Thank you!

Stirling Ackroyd, Tania Pereira & Olivia Papps

Had 0 problems with Stirling Ackroyd from the beginning to the end of our tenancy. Signing and agreeing the tenancy was very swift. Thanks, Olivia for your efforts and excellent service. Our property manager Tania Pereira was outstanding at always being available and solving any issues that arose with the flat during the tenancy. Thanks for all the support and care Tania. Overall, highly recommend this agency. We had the best experience with them!

Professional and courteous from the start

After losing our mum, we were left with the incredibly difficult task of having to sell our family home. Joel Gooden from Head Office was our first point of contact and made us feel that we were being listened to and understood. Joel brought a gentle sense of humour, but with great warmth and sensitivity for our situation with a high level of professionalism, knowledge and confidence for the whole process ahead . We couldn’t have asked for better communication and support throughout and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Joel and the team at Stirling Ackroyd.

Stirling Ackroyd in Mitcham is the number 1 estate agents in the area. Previously had many dealings with goodfellows but thought I would give stirling ackroyd a go after Charles came round to value my property and I was so impressed with his manner and his knowledge of the market. I then stepped into office a week later and met Robbie who further explained what Stirling ackroyd can offer and also his market knowledge showed me that Charles and Robbie were the guys who should be selling my property. 2 weeks down the line I put my property online with them and they quickly sold it as promised. Their service and care was amazing !…will 1000% be recommending to friends and family. I also have other properties that I will selling through this branch. Thanks Robbie and Charles, you both made my experience so so much better !

Great job Stirling Ackroyd

Recently re-engaged Stirling Ackroyd after having used another agent to manage my property for a number of years.Achieved a significant increase in rental return. Turned the property over within 2 weeks, including a full refurbish .. painted through-out, floors polished, smoke detectors, globes, cleaned top to bottom … Particular thanks to Sam Humphreys & Victoria Aderibigbe for their hard work - very responsive, great communications - as a remote landlord, couldnt ask for more.

Incredibly generous and insightful

Jad was one of the most honest and helpful Estate Agents I’ve ever come across. He’s incredibly generous and transparent, and every step of the way he pays attention to detail in catering to your needs and requirements. He listens and makes sure all things are being heard and taken care of. It’s rare to see someone with so much dedication, clarity and professionalism, so I highly recommend.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!! Please read in full!!!!!

Since signing our tenancy agreement we have had NIGHTMARES with this scam company. Now been over 2 weeks and still no news when we will have our deposit back. Apparently Katy Harris has been trying to call the landlord but it’s table tennis, they keep missing eachother. In all my years at customer service and using a telephone I have never known a company incapable of contacting a landlord for feedback regarding releasing a deposit. Currently I’m sat on hold only for her colleague Amy to say she’s on a lengthy call so is unsure when she can put her through or even if I can get through. After waiting on hold for nearly 10 minutes Katy has managed to get a response from the landlord stating she will have answers at 4:30pm.. very close to the end of the day funny enough. She’s also requested that I do not chase her until after 5pm??? What a strange thing to request especially seeing as that’s when they will close for bank holiday. I’m sick to death of the pathetic excuse of an estate agency. Nothing but liars who get pleasure at messing people around, fobbing you off and failing to do their jobs time and time again.Stirling Ackroyd also ensured I would not need to conduct a professional clean as the property was so disgusting when we initially moved in. Confirmed by Becky - the lettings director and also Arran who was a Property Manager, even after having written confirmation of this agreement and providing this. Katy Harris still has to speak to the landlord to see whether she would charge us? I’m pretty sure if the landlord wants to go down this route even though it’s illegal considering we have a written agreement from 2 Stirling Ackroyd employees. They still said she can charge us? AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!!!! They will cause you nothing but stress and hold onto your money just simply because they are nothing but terrible people.AVOID AVOID AVOIDWon’t hold my breath on a resolution today or in the next week in fact.

Incompetent and unprofessional

I rented out my property through this company and it was a nightmare. The tenants were not properly vetted and almost every item of furniture in the property was either destroyed or soiled beyond salvage during the course of the tenancy. I paid for background checks and inventory check, in and out. It was an utter waste of money as although damage was noted, I was not reimbursed at all. A lot of damage was missed at inspection, including a door taken off it's hinges and a completely broken dining table.

Joanna is definitely an asset to Stirling Ackroyd

Had such a great experience with Stirling ackroyd. Had the privilege of working with Joanna who made our experience in such a tough market worth while. Although we didn’t end up buying a property through Joanna (due to the marketplace being super super competitive) I wish we had as she is such an incredible agent. Really fought for us to get a property, gave us regular updates of new properties coming in! Always answered the phone or called back quickly (which is super important and can be rare in this market.. very friendly, honest and have given us such great advice throughout our process.. really thought about and cared for our needs which made such a stressful process much more bearable. If I ever sell or buy in the future Joanna will definitely be our first point of call! Joanna is definitely an asset to Stirling Ackroyd!! Thank you Joanna

Excellent Service

We recently bought a property via Stirling Ackroyd, with Feroza Ahmed as our agent and we were very happy with the service that we received. From the moment we viewed the property, Feroza was informative, patient and extremely helpful. During the search for a new house, we dealt with a large number of estate agents over a period of 6 months and Feroza's approach was honest and personable; which was extremely refreshing. Unfortunately, our house purchase became somewhat complicated and Feroza was such a support to us - we really felt that she went above and beyond to do her best for us. We are not sure we would have continued with the purchase at times if we had been dealing with another agent.Based on our experience, we wanted to communicate that she is truly an asset to Stirling Ackroyd we will be recommending Stirling Ackroyd to any potential buyers that we meet.

William, the best agent!

William was very helpful throughout the whole renting process, explaining and helping with everything from the renting processes to just how things work in the UK. He also provided reassurance and soothed our nerves, even on the weekend! He was our agent, adviser and psychologist at the same time during these two weeks. He deserves a hefty raise! If on a viewing you see him, you can be sure it will be a good experience!Thanks a lot, Daniel
