GoogleTownends have made our first property purchase a smooth and enjoyable experience. Morgan was professional from the start till the end and was happy to show us the property on many requests. Him and Claire were very easy to reach out to and always answered our queries with a matter of fact. We used both the Mortgage advisor and solicitor that Townends recommended which made the whole process even more convenient. Once our offer was accepted we had a completion date within 8 weeks! Both the estate agents and solicitors worked hard to make sure we had the process completed before Christmas. All staff in Townends were excellent at communicating and made sure we were up to date with all important information. We would highly recommend Twickenham Townends and would definitely use this estate agent again in the future.

TrustpilotGreat Service and Follow up
Rino Russo was fantastic professional. Arranging surveys , valuation and finding a good tenant really on time . We bought property and was in process of refurbishing, he was following up the whole process and manage to find a right deal . Had many offers from other agents but chooses Stirling Ackroyd because of Rino & Chantelle service ππ½

TrustpilotGreat Team!
I contacted Harrisons in August last year and Rebecca Heslam has been my main point of contact since. The process of letting my property was flawless and she has been very helpful throughout. Rebecca and her team have been nothing short of amazing and I would highly recommend Stirling Ackroyd (who have purchased Harrisons since). Highly professional and knowledgeable team, always on hand to make the landlord and tenants experience stress free.

TrustpilotGood renting experience
I rented a property through Stirling Ackroyd for a year and the property was managed by Rebecca Haslem. My experience throughout was very smooth. Rebecca was always quick to respond to all my questions and queries. I did not face any issues with either the tenancy or the move procedures.

TrustpilotFirst class service from Rebecca
Rebecca Heslam has managed my property for 4 years, before Stirling Ackroyd took over the agency she then worked at. She has been amazing, attentive and super responsive. There were some issues during lockdown with a tricky tenant, and she was really informative and helped me through a difficult time.

TrustpilotShambolic
Iβm letting a house through Stirling Ackroyd & paying 9% of the rent in management fees. For this I spend days on end chasing them to even reply to an email.The βcarefully vettedβ tenants they found are trashing my house. I raised this with them 3 weeks ago & they gave the tenants 2 weeks to clean the place. When this deadline had expired I chased the agent to follow up - there then followed 7 days of me calling them but the property manager still did not respond to me or the tenants. The deadline they set is meaningless: why should the tenants have any respect for my property when the agent clearly doesnβt?After 8 days without reply, at 9am yesterday I called Stirling Ackroyd to raise my concerns with Natalia who manages the property management team and was told sheβd call me back. She still hasnβt bothered to call me.I used to manage this house myself & got an agent in to lighten the load. Using Stirling Ackroyd has resulted in even more time, hassle and stress for which Iβm paying them hundreds of pounds per month. Theyβre a complete shambles.

TrustpilotTenant beware, unprofessional agency
Tenant beware - unfortunately after a decent lettings process with Melissa, the move-in and management since have been terrible. There were a number of issues upon move-in with no response from the company including regarding statutory obligations (appliances not working, pest problems, unsanitary conditions, mould), with only a "we are understaffed due to COVID". This is ridiculous given managed lettings is the only part of the company with guaranteed recurring income. Just as one example, I have not been able to sleep a single night and have resorted to sleeping in the lounge due to a loud, broken fan in the bedroom. It took 1.5 weeks before Stirling Ackryod (Sarah) finally scheduled an engineer visit. Now the day before the visit when I called the contractor to confirm (after 4 emails asking for the contractor details), I have been told the appointment was never made.

TrustpilotHouse buyers survey
House buyers survey done to a very low standard. I feel nothing had been pointed out that that we had not seen. Lots of recommendations to bring in other contractors. After getting the keys to property and spending a few hours in the property my untrained eye cracks in brick work as one example. If this is the industry standard it is a complete waste of money.

Hi Ryan, Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the survey carried out by our RICS qualified surveyor. We take a great pride in the quality of survey we offer as demonstrated by the many positive reviews posted by our satisfied clients. I understand your surveyor has been in touch with you directly to offer any additional information you may require and to outline the expectations of the different surveys available. I understand in this instance the correct information was presented to you inline with the survey you instructed. Thank you for choosing Stirling Ackroyd, Kind regards, Amber

Thankfully, selling my property was nothing but an easy, smooth sailing process. I have never worked with Stirling Ackroyd before and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. I initially spoke with Freddie, from their central team, who gave me advice on the current market and the best things to do with my property, he was phenomenally helpful with brilliant customer service skills. Thank you to Freddie and all at Stirling Ackroyd.

GoogleHaving recently purchased a flat through Townends I cannot praise the team high enough.
Morgan was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Whilst the sale was going through he provided great advice. Always very candid with no BS just to push the sale through. Heβs a credit to the estate agency profession. Claire too was also super helpful when Morgan was unavailable so overall a very positive experience so thank you all once again.

GoogleJust secured a second tenancy through Stirling Ackroyd Twickenham with the help of Lily Howe who's professional, courteous, super-friendly and has gone above and beyond to help me find a great flat! So thankful for the efficient service, it makes life in current times a little less stressful. Daniel has also been great and really helped me last year when I needed a flat after a property chain collapsed.

TrustpilotEfficient work from Clive Martin at SA
We noticed we had faulty appliances and we contacted our property manager Clive Martin from SA about it. Clive organised a contractor to come identify the problem the next day and the faulty appliances were replaced in no time. Clive was extremely helpful and swift in his actions, which made our life easier in a difficult situation. We find him an excellent manager who is easy to reach and efficient.

TrustpilotWarning: Shady Tactics Ahead!
Warning: Shady Tactics Ahead!Writing this review under the name Daniel to protect privacy. My experience with Stirling Ackroyd was a disappointment. They promise one thing on the phone but do another via email, leading to confusion. The agents are rude and arrogant, showing no respect. They also use manipulative tactics to push buyers into overpaying. Save yourself the trouble and avoid Stirling Ackroyd!!!

Stirling Ackroyd were very patient and thorough during the sale of my flat. I found that everyone I dealt with was very professional and courteous at all times too. It was a challenging task to sell my flat during a pandemic, but they gave me great advice the entire time and really helped guide me through the process. Special mention to Sam Currie for going the extra mile for me too!
