Townends were great to work with - really listening to our needs and offering a tailored service and not aggressive like some of the other famous agencies we were exposed to. They were able to find 3 tenants since we have owned our property and it was a pleasure working with Diana Kovacheva. Now that we are selling our flat, we are delighted to be using Townends as our preferred estate agency. I Highly recommend them.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Highly recommend

Super helpful and knowledgeable agent, Cole made the experience of speaking with estate agents actually enjoyable 😉. He listened to my needs and concerns and provided useful information and feedback so that I wasn't left feeling irritated. I highly recommend this agent.

Would like to say we had a very pleasant experience with Stirling Ackroyd, Maria in particular. She was very helpful, informative and worked tirelessly to get everything pushed through in a timely manner. Now moving into our happy place myself and my partner would like to say thank you Maria :)

Very supportive and personal service from this branch, in particular from Sardorbeck. I had previously enquired about a property that was already under offer, which I was disappointed about. However, Sardorbeck kept me in mind for months later and called me up when that deal fell through, and now I'm in the process of purchasing. Good, personal service - would recommend to others looking to purchase in this area.

We have been renting with Townends for over 3 years now. Diana is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very quick to respond and always willing to help. Diana is also very in touch with the rental market and what its movements are. She will be straight-forward and steer your search well. We had a fantastic experience with our latest move and couldn't have lucked out more with how it turned out.PositiveQuality, Professionalism, Value

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.

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.

Responsive agent

Got a call a day after sending in my enquiry! The whole process of renting and gaining information about the property was prompt and swift thanks to Guy Gregory. He was very responsive and helpful in answering my questions. Highly recommend Stirling Ackroyd!

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

Keo was hands down the best

Keo was hands down the best agent I’ve spoken to so far. Highly recommend him as an agent, helpful, knowledgeable and super patient considering I’ve never purchased a property before!

I’ve used Townends as a Sole Agent to market my rental house for at least in the last 4 years. So far, they’ve been successful in finding good tenants in a timely manner. This is particularly applicable when Southfields Branch was relocated to Earlsfield and Diana took over as a Manager. Diana & team (Ivana in 2020) have been helpful and tend to go the extra miles for their clients. So, keep up the good work, ladies!!

Ivana was brilliant and we really felt like she was working with us rather than treating us as another sale like a lot estate agents. There are always some issues with moving in to a new place but she made the experience as seamless as possible and a really positive one with all the effort she put in! Townends in general has been a pleasure to work with and we're really happy they're managing our property as well, as they've been very quick to sort things out and mediate between us and the landlord. I just wanted to add Katy in particular has been awesome so far with this and managing this property!

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.

“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.

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.

The worst renting experience I have…

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.
