I have asked them several times to take me off their database which they agree to but never do. This has been going on for 2 years now snd even though I have blocked their number they are still able to leave messages.
This has never happened with an agent before except Hunters in stoke Newington who are also the biggest robbers and completely incompetent.

Stirling Ackroyd (Hackney and Clapton Branch) provided a very poor service for their price. If you're debating using this agent or doing it yourself and using a site like sellmyhome.co.uk, my experience would suggest you could save yourself a considerable amount of money and do the same amount of work.
In short, I signed on with one of Stirling's agents who I felt would do a good job, and appeared trustworthy. I did my homework, checking reviews online and feedback regarding the agent that I was being assigned.
Unfortunately, as soon as I signed up, I was immediately switched without consultation, to another member of the team, who would be best described as a caricature of a dodgy salesman. Callbacks were promised and never materialised, communication was curt and often downright rude, and I even ended up having to handle Stirling's show-arounds with prospective buyers myself.
As we got closer to exchange date, it became clear that not only myself, but everyone involved in the chain was getting either no response or strangely aggressive emails from Stirling Ackroyd in response to any query.
I ended up having to take on communication with my buyer to stop him from pulling out and the chain collapsing. My buyer seemed pretty relieved I had sought him out, as he also seemed to be having no luck getting timely information out of Stirling Ackroyd. He ultimately requested we not communicate via the estate agent for the remainder of the sale period.
The original estate agent I signed with has since left and the management weren't interested in making any attempt to compensate me for the stress and the work I had to put in to make the sale happen. Therefore I wouldn't assume this isn't an isolated incident, as that kind of service seems to be something Stirling support from the top down. I genuinely wouldn't wish this added level of stress upon anyone else, house moving is bad enough even with the best people involved. If you still would prefer to use an agent, Brickworks London, who were buying off, were nothing but professional at every point of the transaction, placing in stark relief the abysmal level of service we received from Stirling Ackroyd.

He was always available and liaised smoothly and cleverly with both us and the sellers.
This was our second property so stakes were somehow higher for us and we were getting very emotional at times, but thanks to Alex , it all ended well and we are very happy. We will be contacting Alex again when the moment for selling comes.

From the first meeting Huw was really pro-active, his priority was to get the flat out there and rented asap which I found refreshing. Before there was time for the flat to be advertised as we were still decorating we had multiple viewings which indicated to me that as well as trying to gain my business Huw was also keen to meet the needs of his rental clients by showing them all potential options. His rental potential estimate for the flat was the highest of all estimates I obtained and this was achieved. I believe his knowledge of whats happening in the local area and friendly attitude made prospective tenants comfortable and excited about renting our property.
