My initial contact with Acorn was August last year when I needed to find a new one-bed flat for myself only. I gave them my specification with particular emphasis that I wanted a long-term contract, min 3 years. No problem they said. I viewed a nice flat and agreed to take it. They said they would try for 5 year tenancy and would speak to the landlord. I paid upfront

The only good thing I can say about Acorn is that we are no longer letting our flat through them. FAIL ONE: Their very aggressive letting agent offered to discount our first month set-up fee from £360 to £199 but they charged us £360 regardless. The letting office ...
