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.

We had an outstanding experience with Stirling Ackroyd, thanks to Ellis. Ellis was incredibly helpful and professional. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently, and I felt confident and supported at every step. I highly recommend Stirling Ackroyd.

Tas Uddin, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is calm, friendly, thoughtful and most importantly understands what I wanted in terms of services. My services were tailored as per my needs and assured with utmost commitment. It was very easy to talk to Tas too. She is patient and constructive. Thank you Tas.

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.

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

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.

Excellent account manager led by Sarah Jones

We have used Sterling Ackroyd for a number of years to manage our BTL property. Sarah Jones who is our current property manager is excellent. She is professional, knowledgeable and friendly and has provided strong continuity with the management of our property. We cannot speak highly enough of the service they offer which is tailored to our requirements. Communications are prompt and tenants issues are relayed to us promptly and dealt with quickly in line with our authorisation. There has rarely been an issue where we feel that we can obtain better value by actioning things directly and this is definitely the exception to the rule that Sterling nonetheless work with us on. Their finance department issues detailed monthly statements of account with rental income always being paid on time. We can accordingly recommend them without reservation

“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.

Marcus was extremely helpful, answered all of our questions and has been very understanding with what we require and our situations. We unfortunately couldn't go through with the property we loved but will definitely be getting back in contact with Stirling Ackroyd when we are looking for our next home.

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.

My partner and I were looking to move in together last summer and Aaron was the most helpful person we've had the pleasure of dealing with. He was very professional and knew what we were looking for and we found a place that we fell in love with immediately. I would definitely recommend working with Aaron and Townends to search for a home. Thank you guys so much!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

The worst renting experience I have ever had. I have rented through Stirling Ackroyd (Bermondsey branch) for the past 2+ years and have dealt with several individuals. I have constantly been met with unprofessionalism and unhelpfulness. The worst of our situation during our tenancy was when our boiler broke in January and Stirling Ackroyd left us without hot water and heating for 30 days due to their lack of communication and urgency. This resulted in us reaching out to the landlord directly who dealt with the situation immediately. I genuinely do not know what they do on the daily as it does not seem to be managing properties. They also cannot read their own contracts they drafted and tried to take out money unnecessarily from our deposit at the end of our tenancy. Would never use again.

Undervalued property after their initial "the property is worthless" valuation

Shocking. Run away if they come to value your property! My experience with Stirling Ackroyd Surveyors property evaluation service, who acted on behalf of HSBC, was shockingly unprofessional. The evaluator arrived late, dressed inappropriately with trousers around their bum and not being friendly. The initial evaluation inexplicably valued the property at ZERO, displaying a severe lack of competence and attention to detail.Despite providing further documentation, Stirling Ackroyd's response was to undervalue the property without clear justification, undermining our confidence in their process. The lack of transparency and accountability throughout was deeply concerning. For anyone considering HSBC for property evaluation through their agents Stirling Ackroyd Surveyors, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a more professional and reliable service.Update. Look at their AI-generated response. They can't even write a proper, more human response. So robotic. Just appalling.

Tasnim has been really friendly and helpful throughout my whole rental experience. A lot of agents I’ve gone to in the past have always been so up tight and speak to us like we’re robots but Tasnim has been so kind and cheerful and made me feel very comfortable.
