Disappointing service since my agency was taken over by Stirling Ackroyd

Stirling Ackroyd took over a brilliant small letting agency in Brixton, Beresfords, who were letting and managing my flat for me. While initially they seemed fine, it has now been over two months since I moved back in, and the basic things I asked to be fixed that my tenants broke still haven’t been sorted - despite paying Stirling Ackroyd myself for these to be fixed and endless, endless conversations, chasers and pleas of urgency for these to be done before I moved back in. I don’t know how complicated it can be to replace the missing bits of my fridge, stop my kitchen tap from spraying all over the kitchen, ensuring that I can have a shower that’s not boiling hot and getting the beds cleaned. Really disappointing experience, and my flat is still not in a liveable state as I move in, and I’ll have to pay for all this again and organise It to be done myself.

First class experience from Sophie

The annual renewal process can feel daunting with lots of decisions and admin, but Sophie Ekins not only ensured we were punctual with kicking off the process but also broke it down into manageable chunks and was more than happy to share her years of experience to support me in making the right decisions. Thank you so much Sophie for all your help, made my life so much easier.

Great service!

I rent my property out through Stirling Ackroyd. Being a first time landlord I didn't understand a few things on the contract. I ended up getting through to their head office where I spoke to Adnan in the Central team who was incredibly helpful in clearing up questions I had. He also helped me out with questions I generally had regarding building an investment portfolio. Highly knowledgeable and recommended.

They don't care about people. And they are not professional.

Be very careful in renting a property through Stirling Ackroyd. Or as a landlord giving them your property to rent out. Despite being aware of a change in our circumstances, and a stellar payment record even throughout Covid when I had lost my job, they put up the rent by 20%. And now they are taking their time in refunding my security deposit. It has been 2 weeks without an update. They don't care about people. And they are not professional. Conduct business with them at your peril.

I have used a local letting agent for my 2 flats for 25 years.A year ago the agent got taken over by Sterling Ackroyd.Months later my tenant emailed me to ask why the deposit provider had changed.I had to admit that I had not heard.I took it up with Sterling and found that they had not copied my email correctly from the previous agent.So although the landlord is legally responsible for deposits I had not been consulted.Then a short time ago I had a phone call from them to say that annual renewal was due.I was astonished to hear that my email still was not correct and that they were not aware that the tenancy was periodicAnd that they did not know the fees that applied to my account.This is a shocking level of incompetence Regards John

I have moved into my new tenancy one week after viewing it and I am extremely happy with the service I received from Dan and Danielle in the Stirling Ackroyd Streatham Office. They were extremely helpful, professional, friendly and communicative and helped me to get everything sorted out in such a short space of time. Thank you!

Excellent service

If only all lettings agents were like Stirling Ackroyd!They treat tenants like human beings, take time to properly register you, understand your requirements, and actually call you when they have a suitable listing. For landlords they make sure that they find the best tenant for the property. Nelsson and Leila were particularly fab! This firm will always be my first call when looking to rent or let accommodation.

I dealt with Mikesh Patel at Townends. Mikesh is friendly, very profesional and he listens patiently to what tenants had to say. It has been a pleasure to work with Mikesh and I am confident in recommending him to future tenants.

Not an ideal property manager

Unfortunately, I have to leave a neutral review after one of your employees was very unresponsive and rude throughout our rental period.Sereena, since the beginning of the tenancy, was unresponsive, and rude and would never include both tenants in her emails. I, the main tenant who had continuously asked to be included in her emails sent to the other tenant, had to figure out on my own that firstly the contact information was changed, and then at the end of the tenancy an amount was deducted without me confirming first and agreeing to the amount. You had one job, to be a PROPERTY MANAGER, and you failed terribly at doing it. Would not recommend her services.

Joel is extremely knowledgeable

Joel is extremely knowledgeable and very well informed about the property market. I have been dealing with him for some months now with a particularly challenging property and all I can say is he is a true professional. Im sure Sterling Ackroyd are delighted to have him on the team.

We are impressed with our recent dealings with the Streatham branch of Stirling Ackroyd. We faced a difficult tenancy changeover. Danielle gave us clear options that enabled us to make key decisions quickly. We were able to finalise everything within a very short timescale. We are delighted with the outcome and we look forward to increasing our portfolio with Stirling Ackroyd. Thanks Danielle!

Nothing but disappointment

Disgrace of a property management companyWhen first speaking with this agency, they were lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. Since signing into our rental, the property management side has been absolutely hopeless. We’ve had issues with our gas boiler which has now take over a month of anyone to get in contact with us or resolve. Instead you get emails from the staff saying your emails have landed in their ‘junk’ folders. When shown around the property, there were a few things they forgot to mention, the fact that’s sheds down the end are completely full and we cannot use and the garden was a tip. But we were assured this was a priority to get fixed. - this was promised 5 months ago. After 2 storms the garden needs a lot of work, we have a child under 2 and there 2 trees that’s about to collapse, a fence that has collapsed, etc - images have been sent to the company weeks ago with no actions to resolve so far. No sense of urgency to clear the garden from hazards.When calling you just get fobbed off and promised someone will call you back - this never happens.We love the property but is completely let down by this company. Would avoid in future no one seems to care once you’ve signed in.

Great service!

Liam was really fantastic. We were going through the experience of buying our first house and he was extremely helpful. He made it as stress-free as possible and was always there to answer any questions that we had. Would definitely recommend to other, thanks a lot!

Caring people!

Alex and Aimee were helping us figure out the next steps we will have to take, both selling our property and buying a new one. They have been very clear and straight forward and we really appreciated their onesty and professionalism. They are very present without putting to much pressure on the client. I would definitely recommend.

A First Class Agent; Professional and Tenacious

Dora from Head Office is simply remarkable in her ability to follow up. For over a year she has politely and professionally kept me up to date with everything. More importantly she actively listens and then takes the appropriate action. Given I am abroad this level of tenacity is critical to my business.

Always 5 Star

In the past few years I have received very good customer service from Stirling Ackroyd (previously Harrisons) especially from Rebecca Heslam. Rebecca has gone out of her way to problem solve and to help me as a Landlord. Rebecca is extremely reliable and excellent as a communicator. My experience has been a very good one and I would recommend Stirling Ackroyd without hesitation.

Letizia Lupi

Letizia Lupi - if you want something done right, ask for Letizia. Letizia is super efficient, communicative, polite, friendly, warm, understanding and most importantly, she gets things done. Couldn't ask for more!Stirling Ackroyd - send her up the management chain, she could teach some of the other agents a thing or two!

First Time Renter

Had an great experience with Chelsea from the Mitcham branch. I enquired about renting as I have never rented before so wanted some information. Chelsea was happy to help and explained everything from affordability, how to put forward an offer, referencing and deposits. I feel a lot more confident now about finding my new home. Can’t wait for any matches to be sent my way.

Kevin gets the job DONE!

We have just exchanged on a house because of the hard work and dedication of Kevin and the team. He has been persistent with some difficult solicitors, always been calm and reassuring throughout the stressful process and has kept all parties in the loop the whole time. He's always easy to get hold of and always professional. Couldn't have asked for a better estate agent.
