To protect the health and safety of all clients and staff we are implementing our own restriction now and have decided to close our office for personal visits by clients, tenants and contractors other than for emergency/access reasons. Our office is fully staffed and able to deal with all day to day enquiries along with all property related matters as normal, over the phone, email and if required through a conference call.
Appointments for viewings are unaffected at this time but we would ask that any person who have any symptoms please advise us immediately and prior to the viewing. We are unable to take any cash payments during this time and would ask you contact the office to arrange payment by debit card over the phone or other alternative means, please call for further details.

I have been a model tenant in one of the 'penthouses' in Baryta house.
I have endured 14 months of sheer hell from antisocial behaviour by neighbours on the adjoining balcony. Ayers and Cruiks have consistently failed to enforce the lease or deal with extremely distressing behaviour by these neighbours....They make excuse after excuse for these people and clearly do not care! I have been forced to listen to screaming/swearing/shouting/wailing/retching/vomiting etc, sometimes until 2/3 am. God help whoever moves in after me as I am leaving!
The arrogance of the 'team' at Ayers and Cruiks is breathtaking

Can I just say that you have been one of the nicest and easy to deal with Estate Agents i've ever used. I thank both Jo and Carol very much for all their help and hard work. I'm well aware that during this time it can be very hard for a lot of business, but I have only ever found you to be extremely friendly and ultra helpful. I hope you all keep well and thanks again.

We have been dealing with Ayers and Cruiks for 18 months now as our office servicing agents. They are professional and very helpful. If there are any issues or questions they response the same day, and visit the premises on a regular basis to check everything is ok with the tenants. Julia Richards is my contact and I cannot fault her at all. She is extremely helpful, knowledgable and nothing is too much trouble for her and sorts out all my concerns, even the minute ones!!

Having worked with Ayres and Cruiks for over 20 years. The Property management team consisting of Harriet, Julia & Kevin work hard to maintain their properties, providing the best possible service to their customers. This team is highly professional, friendly, focused in delivering the requirements of all their properties and work to support individual needs. We would highly recommend their services to all.

I live in one of the flats managed by Ayers and Cruiks and they are diabolical. In March 2019 we received a £1,500 invoice for a service charge excess dated 2017 that we'd had no previous contact about. If we were due to pay this they had waited 2 years to contact us?? No explanation in the invoice either as to why we'd had to pay an additional £1,500 on top of our regular service charge, just hit with it out the blue. They are always rude and obnoxious on the phone as well. Avoid at all costs!

I have used Ayers and Cruiks to manage the letting of a residential property for nearly 4 years. They have been quick and pragmatic to resolve any issues that have arisen with the property without involving myself as I originally requested, they carry out regular inspections and clearly are professional in the lettings service they provide. They were recommended to me and i certainly recommend them to you.
