Stirling Ackroyd Hackney reviews

★★★★★ 1/5

Horrific experience with Stirling Ackroyd Hackney. We will be avoiding them in our onward search and strongly advise that you do not use them. Whilst they initially appeared extremely responsive, friendly and professional, they failed to meet their legally obliged responsibility to ensure a property is ready to be let BEFORE agreeing to let it (and asking us to be ready to move in within 6 days). As a result of these failures, our move was postponed twice, even once we signed our contract and our full deposit was accepted. They took no accountability, denied responsibility, exclusively blamed the landlord, and ultimately left us housing insecure, living out of boxes, and without access to our funds for several days. They seem lovely, but unfortunately, were hugely irresponsible and by their actions demonstrated that they care more about getting tenants in quickly for the landlord's financial gain, and have little respect for tenant security when things go wrong.

exelent, professional and very helpful

From the first day I spoke to Magdalena Sadkowska on the phone, she demonstrated professionalism and efficiency. Magdalena was calm and explained everything to me about their properties and offers and gave me advice. She also suggested a broker advisor. Whenever I emailed or called, she was available or called straight away when she was free to talk. Magdalena shows calmness, patience and professionalism at all times. Very caring, helpful, knowledgeable and available all the time. I wish the world was surrounded by people like Magdalena, we would live in a better place.

I’ve been dealing with Harris from the Hackney branch while securing my rental property, and he has been fantastic throughout. He’s been very professional, communicative, and helpful at every stage, which made the whole process much easier.

Amazing service from Jack at SA Hackney. I was super anxious about securing my place and getting all of the appropriate papers/payments sorted in the weeks coming up to moving and he was available, friendly and efficient every step of the way. I felt supported and kept in the loop the entire process and made my moving experience (usually very stressful) wayy easier! Thanks Jack :)

My details passed on to an energy company without my consent

My energy contract was taken over by an energy company without my consent and without Informing me. When I challenged them, they said that my letting agent for the property in this case one of Stirling Ackroyd agents had given my details to a partnership that has an agreement with the energy company. I was not very happy about this as this energy contract transfer has caused issues for me. The letting agency obviously has this agreement. I found it shocking that they told this partnership the date that my flat was going to be empty and when to take over the energy supply without notifying me and without my express consent.This is very upsetting. Not sure I can trust them again.

Experienced and professional service with a complex portfolio

We have been clients of Stirling Ackroyd (with their letting service) for about two years, and they have been highly professional and knowledgeable. They have managed property issues in a timely fashion as they arise, including handling a complex refurbishment, transferring from a previous (and inept) managing agent, and some slightly difficult tenants. They are also on top of all of the relevant regulatory matters, and do everything in a legally correct manner (to the best of my limited knowledge). I would happily recommend their services.

Responsive agent

Got a call a day after sending in my enquiry! The whole process of renting and gaining information about the property was prompt and swift thanks to Guy Gregory. He was very responsive and helpful in answering my questions. Highly recommend Stirling Ackroyd!

Certainly

Certainly! Here's another review:"We had an outstanding experience working with Omar during our apartment search. From the moment we met, Omar demonstrated a deep understanding of the rental market and took the time to truly understand our preferences and needs. Their attention to detail and responsiveness made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Omar was always available to answer any questions we had and provided valuable guidance every step of the way. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, we found the perfect apartment that exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Omar to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable agent.Emmanuel

Good service from Omar

We were fortunate to have Omar Robertson assist us in finding our new home. From the initial contact, Omar was professional and efficient. He sent us a detailed list of properties that matched our preferences, and once we made a selection, he coordinated the visit.From there, the process became somewhat tedious as the reference company took longer than expected. However, throughout this time, Omar demonstrated exceptional patience and a polite attitude towards us. He advocated on our behalf, doing everything possible to overcome any obstacles that arose.I would like to highlight Omar's proactiveness and kindness towards clients. He was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and providing exceptional service. His positive approach and willingness to overcome challenges made the entire process much more manageable. We are very grateful for his professionalism and highly recommend him as a real estate agent

Keo was hands down the best

Keo was hands down the best agent I’ve spoken to so far. Highly recommend him as an agent, helpful, knowledgeable and super patient considering I’ve never purchased a property before!

2 properties significantly undersold by £90,000

I owned two new build properties in the Witton area which were taken over by LPA receivers whilst almost completing exchange of contracts. The LPA receivers appointed Stirling Ackroyd and did not appoint anyone in competition which in my opinion should have been done. Sterling Ackroyd stated over a period of 4 to 6 months that they were unable to find a buyer and that they could only find buyers for the properties £90,000 below its actual market value that they were being sold for. It seems that the sales reps either lack experience or this is a sale of serious convenience !!The properties were sold without a completion certificate in place, therefore an illegal transaction. The buyers of one of the houses were told they could remove the disability ramp, which they did. This is a condition of the completion certificate and local authority requirements and therefore a legal requirement. Both the LPA receivers, and Stirling Ackroyd were fully aware of this fact. Perhaps they need to explain to the new owners that they will need to rebuild the disability ramp at their expense. There are other factors still to be complied with in return to obtain a completion certificate.

Aimee and her team were brilliant throughout my sale. Would definitely work with them again and would recommend. Trustworthy, knowledgable, very proactive, and cool headed, just what you need throughout the property process.

“Delayed Deposit and Poor Communication: A Frustrating Experience with Stirling Ackroyd”

I moved out of my property on August 27, and as of today, I still haven’t received my deposit back. Stirling Ackroyd informed me that they were waiting on my final bill from Vital Energi to deduct any outstanding amount. After contacting Vital myself, I discovered that Stirling Ackroyd didn’t submit the required information until the beginning of October. Although the bill was sent to the agency on October 8, Stirling Ackroyd continues to deny they’ve received it.Be cautious when dealing with this agency, as their responsiveness to emails is notably slow.

Extremely poor experience

Extremely poor experience. They really push to get the holding deposit, but once that is done the agent disappeared. No information was provided earlier about the agent going on a holiday, and no one else was assigned to take over the task once they are on a holiday. I had already paid the deposit so couldn’t back out but also couldn’t get any further details to finalise the tenancy. Spent the whole week in uncertainty. Worst people ever.
