They manage property remotely from HQ in West Byfleet and the head office has almost zero communication with the branches. This means every time a property is let the negotiator has made a million promises to the new tenant that neither the property manager nor the landlords know a thing about. It's a circus routine that costs landlords an arm & a leg. As a private landlord myself with a modest portfolio, it was a real eye-opener to see how they get away with charging landlords as much as 17% to manage a property in addition to taking a top slice off maintenance of 20%. Unless you use INEX, their preferred supplier who is also based at the same head office and all INEX does is sub-contract jobs to external contractors meaning not only is the landlord over-charged by INEX but INEX also pays the top-slice to the agency. It's quite a successful money-maker and I must salute them for rinsing landlords and getting away with it. I worked there for about 18-months and they are the stereotype of a poor lettings agent. I do occasionally receive marketing calls from their teams with reference to my properties but as I know how hugely they overcharge, I'm obviously not going to sign up. If you have money to waste and little-to-no common sense they are the right agent for you.

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.

I purchased my property from Simon at Stirling Ackroyd almost 20 years ago. When I decided to sell I called Simon back to allow his company the opportunity to get my house sold which they achieved in approx 4 months. Aron & Alpha Sales Team were courteous and kind and most importantly they respected my home, it’s the small things taking their shoes off, greeting guests and carrying out the viewing without pressure to clients to make a sale which made the process seem easy. The sales team were transparent at all times. They also got the result and had foresight when we spoke after viewings as the sale was predicted based on body language and communication. I couldn’t rate these guys any higher # A STERLING JOB & SERVICE!

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

Professional and great communication. My request, to Stirling Ackroyd, for a property valuation was a little different to the norm, in that it was for my elderly father's property, in preparation for when we have to sell his house to pay for care. Terry came along to the house, to undertake the valuation and explained the whole selling process in terms I could understand and answered any questions that I had. I was impressed and felt I was treated exactly the same as someone who was in a position to sell immediately. I have spoken to Cheveiz a couple of times who always offers support and help should I need it. I will not hesitate to use Stirling Ackroyd when the need arises to sell my father's house.

I dealt with many different estate agents over months of searching for properties in East London, and Stirling Ackroyd (Dalston branch) were fantastic to deal with throughout. Silviu Strufanga was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and patient with regard to the viewings themselves, the offer process, and the subsequent exchange and completion. Liam and Beckie were also very helpful during this process, and communication was excellent throughout. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Stirling Ackroyd to a friend or family member.

Nia in the renewals team is a superstar, very helpful, extremely professional and an overall friendly and highly competent individual. She stepped in to help me with a renewals issue that was causing distress she quickly understood the situation and resolved it in a matter on minutes. I appreciate her help and will be recommending Stirling Ackroyd to others because of her. Thanks again!

Stirling Ackroyd is a fantastic agency that I highly recommend. I was incredibly fortunate to have Ella as my estate agent from start to finish. She was both friendly and professional, and her expertise and attentiveness made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction, and I'm truly grateful for her. While Stirling Ackroyd is a great agency overall, their true strength lies in hiring exceptional people like Ella.

It has been our first meeting with an estate agent for a letting and turned out very well. Explanation of procedures and different options were outstanding.

I can’t rate as 0 star, otherwise I would give them this rate with pleasure. I had the worst experience ever with this agency. One agent completely unprepared tried to guide us through one of their houses available in Horsford Road, London. We arrive there, he was hurrying to show us the house, I did not had time to ask him questions about the property, I had to chase the agency next day to know the follow-up about our offer placed and no one was able to let us know. Customer service is very poor and this starts with the secretary until the agent responsible for guiding your view. I would avoid this agency, as the experience that we had through them was a complete time waste.

Freddie contacted me immediately after I had shown an interest online. He was helpful in taking down pertinent information concerning my search. The property in question was not suitable but I would consider using Stirling Ackroyd again should they be handling a property I am interested in.
