I was involved in a purchase through Sydenham branch of Acorn. We had an agreement with the agent that while we were on 1 weeks holiday if interest was shown on the property we were seriously wanting to buy, they would contact us and enable us to respond. There was no contact while we were away and ... Read Full Review

Worse service from a Estate Agent ever, never replies to emails or addresses issues we have experienced or raised with them. We have given them plenty of opportunities to help and resolve issues experienced after a leak. They just don't want to know as long as they get the rent money. Just fed up ... Read Full Review

Rented through acorn for two years, with very much support n help whenever we needed, but when we gave notice, we left the property in such a manner, that it can be rented straightaway. But they were not happy which is very usual I guess, and everyone wants to make money before they leave someone. ... Read Full Review

This is a awful estate agents!! I let a property from Acorn for 3+ years. The property was okay. They are reluctant to carry out repairs even essential ones. When they do accept responsibility for the repairs they are in no rush to complete them. Frankly when it comes to your deposit they can ... Read Full Review

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.
