We encountered nothing but stress and incompetency from the team in Crystal Palace from start to finish. They were not transparent and were not interested at all in acting in our best interests . As soon as our offer was accepted they withdrew all assistance and were non responsive for the most... Read Full Review

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... Read Full Review

Ricky the Branch Manager said he could sell our property within 7 days at full asking price and we saw he sold a couple in our neighbourhood in the previous weeks so decided to opt for Acorn. Within 7 days we received a somewhat fraught phone call from Andrew the Assistant Manager saying we needed... Read Full Review

We instructed Acorn to market our flat in June. Laura was very helpful to complete the advert promptly, which looked very professional. 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

Dear Belinda. Having you head our sale meant the difference. Good team work. Today, we finally exchanged, over 4 tortuous months after acceptance of offer.

Absolutely fantastic at getting back to you ASAP to move you in and take your money. Non-existent after that. Endless emails and calls to try and get issues with the flat sorted and nothing all back from them. The conditions of us moving in were not met, that being we didn't want a broken fridge...

Bad, overpriced. Professional cleaning fee for 2 people who took an entire day to mop a floor!

They rented me a property without hot water, central heating and when the electricity went off I moved out. I used the property as storage while they tried to sort. After 4 months of living with my SO I moved out (I freelance and there was a death in my family meaning it bothered me less than... Read Full Review
See was nice and offered my fees back. But ultimately had no power and should never have letted the property unfinished.

We had nothing but problems from the start with Acorn. The girls at the local branch were fine, but any dealings with head office such as when the fridge broke down took weeks of us contacting them again and again to try and resolve the problem. Each time we called we had to repeat ourselves and... Read Full Review

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...

Their attitude is very good and act professionally and promptly. The agent we deal with is experienced and understand our goal well. She managed to acquire the price for seller to put the property off market and we match the offer and secure the offer! The agent website also updated immediately... 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.
