Systematically incompetent – Stirling Ackroyd is a slow-motion train wreck that lost my deposit TWICE in the space of a year.
Poor tenant selection:
Stirling Ackroyd assured me that their recommended tenants would be OK. I trusted them, and it was a big mistake. The tenants ...

Jerome has been managing a flat of mine in London for several years now. The thing I find most helpful is how efficient he is, and how good his communication skills are. His responses are always timely and helpful.

Townends are by far, in my opinion, the worst Estate Agency out there, and have been an absolute nightmare, as tenants, to deal with. The majority are unprofessional, unreliable, utterly useless and complete liars. I will never, ever, use this company for anything ever again.

You are incorrect Mark, my initial comments are all true and accurate. How do the comments in my review relate in any way to not receiving the deposit back? It is more that I was willing to let all of this go if we were able to leave the property without any problem and get our deposit back. This did not happen due to Michael telling me incorrect and misleading information and not doing anything to resolve the situation.
The fact that you have replied here referring to the deposit and not ad ...
