It was a very difficult time for me
It was a very difficult time for me, my mother had just passed and her house needed to be sold. I dealt mainly with Joel Gooden at the beginning and he was excellent in explaining everything to me, keeping me informed. The rest of the team were amazing, informative, helpful and made the process one less thing I needed to worry about. Very happy with the service and more than happy to recommend.

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. I received an expalnation about what happened and okay with explanation.

Give you no option but to use ‘Tink’ as a financial guarantor stating sensitive data outside of the UK. Even when you select the manual option it prompts you immediately they have been unable to obtain a reference when it has only been requested of the nominated referee. This should be investigated by an independent Ombudsman or Which Magazine.

The Stirling Ackroyd Streatham estate agents team
The Stirling Ackroyd Streatham estate agents team (Lee, Wayne, Hussain & headed up by Anthony) were all extremely professional, friendly and experts in the London housing market and monthly trends. The process of selling a property in the UK is not an easy one but they remained dedicated and committed to completing the sale using their negotiating skills to ensure you achieved your desired price whilst being supportive throughout the whole time. Highly recommended!

House Purchase in Twickenham
We purchased a house via Sterling Ackroyd in Twickenham, Richard the sales manager was superb from start to finish. During the transaction we were passed to a sales progressor which we were a bit sceptical about however the service/ communication we received from Sandra was excellent.

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.

Ellis Craig called me this morning in response to a message I had left for a local branch. He was very helpful and cheerful and explained he was from head office and was able to get the branch to offer me a viewing at a time to suit me. Also not a lot of London estate Agents bother to call back so was good to hear from him. Thank you

Solid property agency that does not seem to seek profit at all cost and as fast as possible, not a common occurrence in London.
