Disappointed

I have sold many properties using several different estate agents. I am sorry to say that Stirling Ackroyd Sales were uncaring, arrogant, and unhelpful and caused a lot of stress for the parties involved. They managed to get us a buyer within a week, which was great, but then did nothing. Their communication was disgraceful. When we emailed them we got no reply or an auto-return 'we are busy and will get back to you in 24-48 hours', which they never did (4 times!). We paid a lot of money for this lack of service.

Thank you Ellis

I spoke to Ellis Craig this morning when I was trying to book in a house viewing. He was very nice, helpful and happy and was able to get the branch to offer me a viewing at a time to suit me. Thank you

Rafael has been amazing all the way. Organized, professional, very responsive, problem solver. We have been delaying the process due to heavy workload but Rafael was patient and helped us complete all tasks step by step. We had been dealing with the complete opposite of Rafael for so many years that we almost forgot how is it to deal with a responsible, responsive and helpful professional. Thank you Rafael and Stirling Ackroyd!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I had a deeply disappointing experience…

I had a deeply disappointing experience with this estate agent. From the moment I submitted my offer to purchase a property, I was repeatedly given misleading information. When significant issues were raised by the surveyor, the agency continued to be evasive rather than transparent. Their handling of the entire process felt highly dishonest and left me unable to trust anything they said. I ultimately withdrew from the purchase because of their behaviour, and I would strongly advise others to approach this office with caution.

Appalling dreadful company

Appalling dreadful companyAppalling dreadful company - inefficient, rude & utterly incompetent. From the get go, Ackroyd Legal were just hopeless - stupidly I thought I would give them a chance Very bad move on my part. Very quickly red flags were appearing.You would ring up & reception would answer, you would ask to be put through t your designated person - you would wait 5 minutes or so & instead of getting through to her, back you would come to reception & so it would go on - round & round. Of the 14 times I phoned e I got through once, even after leaving innumerable messages & emails. When I did, she was not only rude with an attitude, but had no idea of either my property or could even answer my simple questions. She simply didn't understand what selling a flat entailedIn the middle of all this the designated person went away on holiday & couldn't even be bothered to pass my details on to anyone else or let me know. I was just told by the company that I would just have to have to wait till she returns. We are talking about selling a property here, which sometimes requires fairly instant decisions. After weeks of utter frustration, I was finally put firmly in the picture by my agent who said in the weeks that they had been dealing with Ackroyd,Legal, they had neither replied to any email or telephone message left either by themselves or the buyer's solicitors & that my buyer was about to pull out of the deal unless I changed my solicitors that day.I left Ackroyd Legal that afternoon. I was recommended Adams Kaye Solicitors Now this is what solicitors should be. if you want superb conveyancers, here is a company that really know how to deal with clients - they are efficient, clever, know everything about conveyancing & you are given a direct line to your personal conveyancer - I was lucky enough to be given Ben cooper who was not only excellent but charming & cleverI can't say enough good things a bout them & compared to Ackjroyd Legal they were literally an eye opener.Please, please for your sanity do not use Ackroyd Legal - how they are still in business is a complete mystery. They give solicitors a bad name & are an appalling company. AVOID

Do not instruct them to let out your property

Their purportedly fully managed letting services involved no inspections (automatically or after asking for one to be undertaken), resulting in 6 people residing in my flat - as opposed to the 2 people named on the tenancy agreement - who trashed everywhere and stole my belongings. Stirling Ackroyd's lack of advice or proper service meant I could not claim back a fraction of the damage and loss from the deposit. They also failed to serve notice to terminate the tenancy on time. Stirling Ackroyd committed serious failings, causing me an immense amount of misery and loss.

AVOID AVOID AVOID - ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE - UNPROFESSIONAL

Rey Caliskan was my Conveyancer - incompetent and useless, I lost my first house because of her, after 6 months of praying to her to answer back or to do anything, I was almost kneeling on my emails for an answer. Then I discovered that the seller sold to someone else because of lack of communication and was unhappy with my Solicitor.My Solicitor was greedy, was overloaded with cases and was unable to manage the pressure from all the clients. She was also admitted to hospital as a result. Shame on you, you ruined everything, was my first dream that you turned into a nightmare. Till today I'm still on rent because of Ackroyd Legal. I'm wasting all my savings on rent instead of spending on my house, it's Karma.Only two things needed for this review-1. There should be a ZERO STAR option.2. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.If you want zero communication and complete incompetent conveyancers then go ahead and sign up.

Fantastic Estate Agents and even better staff - Thanks Sarah!

I do want to say, genuinely, that I've loved living in my property and having Sarah Jones as my property manager with Stirling Ackroyd. It's been a great place and I've been really happy in it. More than that though, I want to thank you for everything over the course of the tenancy. You've been brilliant to deal with throughout and I really do appreciate it, Sarah!

Awful estate agents, steer well clear

Awful estate agents. Avoid at all costs. Lied from the start, were incompetent throughout and never got the job done. The initial sales guy was useless, and so were all his colleagues.Part way through they were taken over by another company and no-one told me. Despite me telling them to leave me alone I still get regular calls from them harassing me. Next time I will put a restraining order on the companyUpdated: thank you Amber for your response, and effort to try and find out where your company went wrong. Sadly, I have already told several of your colleagues this information, and if it hasn't been filtered down through the company that is unfortunately a prime example if my point, and reiterates why I will never use your company again, and will advise anyone I meet to do the same.

Dealt with Rafael Zampieri on a apartment let, and couldn’t have asked for a better service. In difficult times for all landlords he managed to secure a tenant within 5 days, and it was completed 2 days later. Solid account management, and attention to detail are the qualities I look for in agents, while being responsive to phone calls, and not leaving it 24 hours before calling back. Nothing was to much trouble for Rafael, and I can’t praise him highly enough. Stirling’s weren’t the only company I engaged for my let, but they out shone the rest. Highly recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We couldn't have been more satisfied with the costumer service we received by Stirling Ackroyd Clerkenwell so far. Moving flats can always be quit stressful but the letting agent that helped us find our next home was a gem. Always super responsive, even outside of working hours, eager to find us a place that fitted our criteria and very efficient with accomodating our requests for the viewings . Not to mention his great negotiating skills. What we really appreciated is that he went above and beyond to find out for us some extra information about the apartment we finally agreed on. Rafael Zampieri thank you! You made an excellent impression on us and we recommend Stirling Ackroyd Clerkenwell.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Great Customer Service and Efficiency

I recently moved and as you know moving can be extremely stressful. Thankfully Victoria was able to help my journey run a lot smoother. She explained everything I need to know & do and her endurance on chasing up requests was super efficient and timely. Thank you so much!

I have been using Stirling Ackroyd Clerkenwell as my letting and managing agent since 2005. Quality of tenants have been good and have no complaints about management of the property (including feedback from tenants). Richard Mackerel and team (including their predecessors) are very experience and very responsive to my queries and issues relating to the property.

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.

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.
