I don't normally write reviews, especially bad ones, but my experience as a potential buyer with the Acres was diabolical, so I feel I have the duty to warn those who might want to hand their porperies for Acres to sale. From the first point of contact: I rang 4 times over two weeks to book my viewing but every time they answer the phone I be told the lady in charge of that property wasn't available,sometimes they will tell me they will get back to me but I never heard anything back. Until I...

I wouldn't normally write a review but I feel that strongly about the experience. I've never known anything like it! Staff were rude, unprofessional and unhelpful. Tenants treated as second class citizens - seriously do not waste your time and money on them! Go to a properly run agency where they know what they are doing and also value you as a tenant and customer!...

absoloute shocking level of service from this estate agent all nice when they are getting money of you but that soon changes. They are very rude and do not have private rented tenants interests at heart! i would never use this estate agent again and would advise most not to use it either! they are very unprofessional and Julie especially is very arrogant if you want anything done as a tenant dont expect them to help in anyway and dont expect to hear of them until your rent is going up! will be g...

PLEASE NOTE THAT ACRES FOUR OAKS HAVE 2 ENTRIES ON THIS WEBSITE - ONE FOR LETTINGS AND ONE FOR ESTATE AGENCY. THE ESTATE AGENCY ONE HAS MORE REVIEWS ON IT. Acres Lettings are the most appalling and unprofessional company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with in my life. I was a tenant of theirs and the number of unresponded to emails and phone calls is beyond belief. The manager of Lettings (Julie) is incredibly patronising and impolite. We had various issues with them, and ended up dec...

If you want to have to chase basic things like your statement and rent every month then Acres are the ones for you. All work quoted for at the premises goes to the same firm and always comes back very expensive, fence job quoted at £ 400 plus eventually organised by myself for £ 150. And don\'t dare question its quality once it is done.I\'m sure acres are great if you are a tenant however if you are a land lord honestly don\'t bother they are not interested in what you have to say....

Acres response to this review states "We always try to source the best possible quotes for our clients and where possible obtain two quotes.". From personal experience as a tenant of theirs, this is absolutely rubbish. We didn't once have 2 quotes carried out for any single job that was carried out at the property in 15 months (and there were alot jobs carried out unfortunately). Most notably was when a company came around to repair electric gates and quoted £600 for a new circuit b ...

I have to address the comment relating to the admin fees being £2100. This figure includes the rent and deposit which was the majority of the charge mentioned. Unfortunately, we have a number of tenants who contact us regarding damp in their property. We have found that due to lack of ventilation and insulation this is the main cause of black spot mould. We always investigate this and advise tenants the best way to eliminate this in the property to enable them to live comfortably. It ...

Their only interest is to let the property and get the commission. They did lie about maintenance work that they said the landlords would carry out but never did. They also put in the inventory a washing machine that wasn\'t there at the time. They always side the landlord regardless if right or wrong because, as stated by themselves, "the landlord is the client". On top of that they do have a very patronising attitude borderline unrespectful. Definitely I will never use them again. A...

I am afraid that the information stated by the agent is wrong, the tenancy was fully managed by ACRES Lettings and I am actually shocked that it has taken them 3 years to reply to my review. ...

Acres Lettings charges extremely high fees for the poor quality of service they provide. They charge the highest fees in the area and you would expect first class service for that money. Just to mention a few examples: the inventory lacked detail and was "extremely" inaccurate, the utility bills were incorrectly transferred and I did not get to see the tenancy agreement until the day I moved in. Whilst they have been appointed to manage the property, they do very little to solve proble...

Absolutly terrible. The staff are all 2 faced, and definatly dont have the customers best wishes, as they should. We bought a house, they did not help us negotiate, lied to us about how long the house had been vacant for and the state of heating etc. they know we had children and only 2 days to move in, but do decency at all. we moved in to be landed with a £2500 bill, for the electric work, boiler work and huge water leaks in the bathroom and kitchen. They lied outright. would never use ag ...
