Stirling Ackroyd West Byfleet reviews in Woking

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

We viewed a property that was advertised for sale by Waterfalls and from that very point right up to completion the customer service provided by the team was nothing short of amazing. Bianca was always there at whenever needed and was actively involved in helping us drive & push towards completion, what you want from an Estate Agents is to know that they're fighting for you all the way and Bianca couldn't have done that more.

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.

Fantastic Estate Agents and even better staff - Thanks Sarah!

I do want to say, genuinely, that I've loved living in my property and having Sarah Jones as my property manager with Stirling Ackroyd. It's been a great place and I've been really happy in it. More than that though, I want to thank you for everything over the course of the tenancy. You've been brilliant to deal with throughout and I really do appreciate it, Sarah!

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.

These guys were great all the way through. To start with Ryan brought around paperwork to show me what similar houses had sold for around the area - this was more prepared and professional than most other estate agents had been. There were lots of viewings coming in - Tim always let me know any updates and always arrived on time for said viewings. The team took into account specific requests that I had and always did what I asked. And when my first sale fell through they found me a new buyer within a few days. Bianca was fantastic at keeping on top of all of the solicitors and other estate agents in the chain and kept everybody in the loop at all times. Brilliant service from start to finish. Exceeded all expectations. Would totally recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We have just completed a purchase on our first home! And without the help of Bianca, I don’t know what i would of done! The purchase wasn’t as smooth as we all would of liked, but Bianca was always there to keep us updated with the progress and reassure us along the way. Such a pleasure to of gone through this with her and Waterfalls. She has definitely taught me a few things for future purchases, as being a first time buyer i was pretty clueless..PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

I have just purchased a property through Waterfalls and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Bianca has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and has been extremely helpful throughout the whole process. She was at the end of the phone for every query and supported us from start to finish. If I’m every selling a house in the future I will definitely be using Waterfalls, so I have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody looking for a sales agent.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We purchased a house through the West Byfleet office. Daniel, Noah and Antonios were key to our success, especially when some negotiation was necessary. They were also scrupulously honest about bringing a difficulty to our attention. Altogether a very good team!

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.

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
