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

I was completely new to the rental market and within days of visiting the Twickenham branch, Marcus arranged a viewing to a wonderful place which is now my home. He has been outstandingly helpful and accommodating of my preferences. Moving homes can be quite daunting, but particularly Marcus has made the whole experience so much easier and straightforward, which I am really grateful for!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you to Honor and the rest of the team (Marcus, Suzanna and Elena) at Stirling for doing such a great job re-letting our property. They have been brilliant at making everything happen at short notice and ensuring that everything was done properly. Much appreciated and well done!

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!

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 am very upset and disappointed with the treatment that I have had from Townends Estate agents in Twickenham. I recently had an offer accepted on a house and was very happy with the work that Morgan did to help me get my offer accepted. This was a first house for me and I am on a very tight budget. I went ahead getting the searches and survey done quickly so that purchase could move forward and once the contracts arrived found out that the property was misrepresented and I hadn't had all the information provided to me. It was being sold as Freehold and was found to be otherwise once the contracts came in. It also had a management company and fee which would effect my budget. At this point I had spent £1000 of my deposit and due to the freehold information, I was legally advised not to proceed. I had to make the difficult decision to pull out. Claire at Townends treated me with contempt despite it being potentially their fault that this information had been incorrect in the first place. I was made to feel like I was the villain for pulling out. I asked to have the opportunity to sell my searches and survey onto the next buyer and was told that this would be possible and she would let me know. I followed up 2 weeks later having heard nothing and found that the new buyer had already applied for their own searches and had had their own survey done. Townends had a copy of my survey sent to them from the surveyor when it was completed ( I have since found out that the company I was advised to use is actually part of Townends), so for all I know they sold that one on directly. This whole experience has been extremely stressful as I now have to move out of my current flat (I gave notice once my offer was accepted). I am down a large amount of money and I have had very little in the way of apology from the team at Townends. I will not be using Townends in the future and I definitely don't recommend Townends or Claire Comerford.
