They gave me a bad reference just to keep me in my property. Used to FAKE reason of late rent payments (one that can be justified by them, the other two cannot even be counted - this can be proofed). Sought legal advice and as a journalist I’m burning to get them exposed for the ... Read Full Review

If I could give 0 stars I would, I have been lied to constantly, I was told there were no parking spaces being distributed until I spoke to a new Tennant who was given a parking space the week she moved in, I had been asking for 13 months, I only got a space because the office manager didnt put my ...

Having handed over a huge amount of money, we expected to enter our new property with minimal problems and the opportunity to move in all our belongings. What we found, was a filthy flat filled with the previous owners belongings, with a dirty fridge, covered walls. The flat had clearly not been ... Read Full Review

We was given all the old spill whilst Matt came to value our property, why they was worth the extra percentage etc as they go the extra mile, what fools we were. Totally unprofessional our property was non traditional construction, ( which is fine) but some mortgage companies won't lend on, he ... Read Full Review

First and foremost I am disappointed. I first view the property with Mo, and was pleased with what I saw. We asked mo some question about service charge and ect, we had to correct him, because we knew what he said was incorrect to our surprise. We made an offer. Then I got calls from Mo, pressuring ...

Fees are astronomical and you don't even get a clean flat. And apparently it's standard with Acorn, my friend rented through them in Croydon and the flat was also dirty. Why lie? call it anything else but cleaning fee because you are not delivering it. On top of that I've had to ... Read Full Review

It is by far the worst experience I have ever had with any tenancy. The lifts have only just begun to function and are still a bit dodgy after breaking down completely last June. For half the year the building had no working lifts. There are 10 floors. Repairs within the flats...they did not ... Read Full Review

Acorn Agencies probably vary from town to town but my experience with them was not pleasant, apologies after apologies proves they were wrong in the first place and as a reputable high street agent their attitude in customer service is very bad and communication between the office and client is ...

Waste of time. Agent was pesky throughout the week over phone and email, and then missed our viewing, made no apology, and acted put out that we couldn't just reschedule to his whims. We'd rented a car to get to five viewings that day and because of his failure to schedule his time, we ... Read Full Review

We were informed that Acorn already had several potential buyers ready to view the flat, so were very hopeful. We timed the sale of the flat with a holiday we had ... Read Full Review
