I also phoned in sept to say the floor was crumbling by front door my disabled partner is house bound because I can't get wheel chair over floor. Heard nothink back till I phoned at end of nov to tell them I've got the council involved and goin to solicitor to be told she was gunna phone u today get a contracter out to "assess'' the floor. Who came out on monday said he'll be back Wednesday but did not return till sunday. We also had a flood in kitchen there was no stôp cock I phoned and phoned and phoned 4 hrs later and water still flooding out.they contacted landlord who came out. The landlady phone them in front of me onspeaker phone. To har the agents say ''did 'she' break it'' the landlady sàid no please send plumber out as soon as possible. He came fitted stop cock. I received a phone call in dec the landlords selling. I'll bring ur notice on wed. She did not come following fri sent another lady from scott arms branch with it.I moved out on 24 jan told the agent 'who has a key' property would be empty for 1 month and I'll return keys. . On 18 feb I went to property. Done cleaning. Fixed shed windows that were broke when we moved in. Changed light bulbs. Shampooed carpets. I returned keys. Late sàturday afternoon just before close. I phoned 2 weeks later for them to say they will veiw monday 2 week later I phoned again gave them my new address again . She said she would send paperwork out for me to sign 2 weeks later I phone again to tell them I have not recèived paperwork still. Gave them my new address again finally recîeved it tody going to see ee a solicitor they want neally £1300 of me saying place needs a lot doing to it because of us.

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 is always a stressful time moving home, and the returning of tenants deposit can be a lengthy process as both tenant and landlord must be in total agreement as to any deductions and refunds. However, I am pleased we were able to come to a satisfactory agreement in the end.

It took Acres 2 years to reply to this comment to " defend" themselves! Says it all really , dealt with them on a number of occasions and the manager is rude, arrogant, tells lies and couldnt organise an egg and spoon race!

So pleased with the service I have received off Nigel and the team at acres four oaks. put my house up for sale, got a great price and a sale within 2 weeks. The office was very professional and dealt in my best interests, not the buyers, which makes a change from most agents I have found. Seen a... Read Full Review

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... Read Full Review

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... Read Full 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... Read Full Review
