Warning: Dodgy Tactics! I am writing this review under the name Daniel to protect privacy. My experience with Stirling Ackroyd was a disappointment. They promise one thing on the phone but do another via email, leading to confusion. The agents are rude and arrogant, showing no respect. They also use manipulative tactics to push buyers into overpaying. Save yourself the trouble and avoid Stirling Ackroyd!!!

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Danielle has been fantastic with renting my property. It had been on the market for over 1 week with another agency, she was very proactive and told me she could rent it within 24hrs. Danielle actually managed to rent it within 4hrs!!! The whole process was stress free and efficient. Thank you... Read Full Review
I don't mind the initial fees - it's the expected cost of business but I think the follow on annual costs when the tenant is renewing are high since the effort to renew is minimal.

Holding Fee is quite expensive but it does come out of security deposit to be paid anyway. Admin fees and referencing is similar to what I have had in the past.
