I had a really good interaction with…

I had a really good interaction with Acorn recently. They were very accommodative and helped me alot in finding the exact place I wanted. Especially Crystal from Forest Hill branch was literally personally involved and drove me herself to all the properties. She’s continued checking on me even after i shifted and solved the issues I had. Highly recommended if you are looking for a new place to move .

Great team at strood!*****

We couldn’t be happier that we have sold our home with Acorn. The whole team have been absolutely amazing! We Didn’t feel pressured to sell at all, not like other estate agents you can feel pressured into being pushed for a sale. From start to finish you have all been so friendly. We couldn’t be more thrilled we have sold our home through You.Everyone has kept us so informed and every member we have dealt with has been so patient and professional. Our house sale Almost fell through and josh sladden kept it all together and always communicated with us to let us know what was happening. Josh went above and beyond for our house sale and we truly cannot thank him enough. He is a credit to the team! Thank you to everyone involved in our sale, Jonathan, Jamie, josh and anyone else who we have dealt with. You’ve all been amazing! Thank you Acorn I’ll definitely be recommending you. Mr & Mrs Temple :-)

We dealt with Eddie and Oliver over at Langford Russel for a recent house purchase in the Beckenham area and they were a joy to work with. Very friendly, accommodating and attentive throughout the process of what can usually be a stressful process. If you are looking to sell or rent a property then I would highly recommend their team as they go above and beyond for their clients and you can tell they get the job done by the sheer volume of sold signs in the area.

Putting the pandemic aside which made our propery journey very stressful in itself and taking a year to get to completion. In this time and before switching to langford Russell we subsequently endured a bad experience with another well known estate agent in beckenham high Street which led to us to terminate the contract after nearly losing our onward purchase. This was due to their negligence and deceit with our 3rd buyer, and our chain collapsing which at the time came as a shock to us as we found out through chasing our solictor and our seller who very nearly pulled the plug due to her own personal circumstances. We then made the switch over to langford Russell becoming their client too. This was the best decision ever and end to end transaction. Oliver drove the sale and sold our property to our 4th buyer within a week. Time was of the escence and we worked with Oliver to help him do this. Oliver is a great communicator and even drove aspects of the conveyancing on both sides which made things a lot smoother considering the stressful journey we had been on over the past year trying to move and with a shark of a previous agent. If you want to secure a property as quickly and smoothly as you can and beat the stamp duty Oliver at Langford Russell beckenham is your man, give this man a promotion I say! We love our new family home and had nearly lost all hope of securing it. So thanks again Oliver we hope you enjoyed the fizz well deserved! We never want to do this moving business again but will defintely be recommending.you guys if anyone else fancies their chances!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Avoid Avoid Avoid

We recently moved into a property managed by Acorn in East Dulwich, London - sold to us using images that were not truly representative of the condition of the house. We were incredibly excited to move into a clean, well maintained new property after searching for so long. We really felt like we’d found the perfect house to make a home in - this was NOT the case. 
Prior to move in it was stressed to Acorn that a professional, deep clean was imperative as one of us had recently been discharged from hospital having undergone life saving surgery on his lung. When we arrived, not only had the deep clean not happened, but we discovered numerous hazardous faults with the property. Acorn later admitted to us (Cailey) that nobody had actually inspected the property prior to our move-in. I believe the term used was ‘overlooked’.Hazards that we discovered:
- There was a faulty light fitting in the hallway with exposed live wires that were tripping the electrics in the house - the temporary fix was a small piece of cardboard between the live wire and the metal light fitting. Luckily one of us is a qualified electrician and safely dealt with this. - The outdoor decking (that was beautiful in the pictures) was rotting and soft to tread on in places - extremely hazardous. - Broken glass and ceramic tiles scattered in the garden.- Thick layers of dirt and dust behind furniture in bedrooms.- Black mould in the kitchen.- Cracked tiles on the bathroom floor. - Broken burglar alarm on the exterior of the property that was hanging off.The member of our household who had just been released from hospital was advised by his surgeon to vacate the property due to the thick layers of dust discovered in his bedroom. 
After a long stressful slog of us chasing Acorn to resolve these issues they eventually sent a maintenance man who was lovely. He told told us the property was unsafe and he’d been telling them for years that work needs to be done.Not only were Acorn incredibly unhelpful despite us being clear that we wanted to work TOGETHER to resolve the issues we had, they tried to tell us that the issues we had were ‘cosmetic’. Collectively, our experience with Acorn has been extremely stressful and has had a huge negative impact on us over the past few months. After a total lack of urgency from Acorn to solve the issues we had, we were given no choice other than to vacate the property off our own accord. The stress of living there with no hope of our situation improving became too much.Acorn are now trying to take our deposit off us to pay for the months rent we refused to pay.If you are thinking of letting through Acorn PLEASE reconsider - it really isn’t worth the stress.

Amazing Service

We recently sold our Flat and bought a new one and had a fantastic experience with Acorn. The process was smooth from start to finish, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. A special thanks to Lamar and Katie, who were absolutely amazing, professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. Highly recommended!

Strood Office

We previously had negative experience with another agent and lost time trying to sell the house through them.As soon as we realized that the sale was going nowhere we change the agent to Acorn (Strood) who remarketed the house for us.From the moment Acorn representative Scott visited us and took the pictures the whole process right to the exchange and completion was absolutely pain and stress free.We personally have delt with Jon and Jamie who are not only professional, friendly and just pleasant guys to deal with, but are also very handsome 😁😁( hello Jon and Jamie and thanks for everything you have done!!).If we were to sell the house again there would be no other option to choose from - we would go with Acorn again!Once again we want to thank Acorn and everyone in the company for their hard work and whish them all the very best in their personal life and the business.Thank you!Karina and Natasha.

Rainham Acorn

Rainham Acorn - I was purchasing a property they had up for sale. Mark and Abbie have been absolute godsends, my solicitor lacked a little with communication but they were so informative & supported me and their seller massively. Spoke almost daily, some times more keeping me updated. Very happy first time buyer. Thanks Mark and Abbie, I owe you!

Great experience with Blake

We will shortly be moving into our new rented property, which has been organised through Blake. We have used many of the big agents in the past, and this has been our most positive experience by far - after seeing the flat on Rightmove, Blake arranged a viewing for us within a few hours and by the next day had secured the flat for us. He has been extremely responsive whenever we have had questions, and generally everything has progressed very smoothly and quickly. We've also dealt with Sian who has also been very professional. From a tenants perspective I highly recommend.

Acorn at Blackfen are wonderful - 10/10!

Acorn at Blackfen are wonderful! Don’t be put off by their fees, there is always room for negotiation, but bear in mind, you do get what you pay for and I think Acorn are worth every penny.From the moment we were introduced, and we discussed the terms and conditions, I went away and compared them to other local estate agents who we had around. Despite coming out as the dearest in commission, I felt a confidence with Kevin (our sales rep) that he meant every word he said and I trusted him to sell our house.Once signed up, Kevin and the team worked together. Kevin was always calling to keep me updated with house viewings, progress etc. If I called Kevin and he wasn’t available one of his team (namely Poppy) would be available to chat. Likewise, when it came to viewings, if Kevin wasn’t able to make the date/time arranged, Poppy would step in. There was even an occasion when the receptionist Tegan stepped in to drop off some keys as Kevin and Poppy were unavailable. Great teamwork! When it came to exchange and completion Kevin was always in contact with our solicitor and also kept us in the loop at all times. If there were any questions that needed answering from our buyers, Kevin would immediately inform us, so that we could get these answered straight away to avoid any hold ups.I would happily (and do) recommend Acorn! 10/10!

Best service a landlord can get

I am an overseas landlord. Acorn team especially Lilia Ghenim and her back office team has been so helpful in coordinating the move with old tenants to new tenants. She made sure me being so far away is not a concern for anyone. Communication has been crystal clear, service provided is professional and moreover hassle free which is very important for an overseas landlord. Thank you Lilia and team for all the support.

FABULOUS FIRST CLASS SERVICE

Ok I recently purchased my new house through Dan in the Dartford branch. I can say that he was down to earth and very helpful in every aspect. He was continuously contacting me and updating me every step of the way. Sorting out numerous problems that unfortunately unfolded through the covid 19 with my purchase. I would thoroughly recommend them if you want your sale pushed through with no messing about. Dan was available on his personal mobile at all hours. He is very knowledgeable about all the criteria that I needed advice on and very personable. His professional attitude was second to none.... Acorn are Lucky to have such a driven member of there team. So was I. 😊

Asked if it would be OK to breach lockdown guidance

Our experience with Acorn has been an endlessly shambolic mire of incompetence and disregard.At numerous points, our multiple property managers (6 at last count) have outright flouted the guidance for letting agents and most recently asked if we could breach the Tier 4 lockdown in London before Christmas 2020 as we were moving out by asking if the landlord's son could visit (we have written correspondence to show the ombudsman should they try to reject this). All of this was done whilst witholding a fee they claim they are due, despite guidance saying otherwise.We've had to submit at least 3 formal complaints in the last 2 years and that doesn't count the constant battle to get anything done when something breaks. In the last 3 years they have:1. Refused to provide rental agreement after payment was provided.2. Left us almost 2 months without a working front door & over a week without heating.3. Sent an email saying our rent wasn't paid despite our bank statement saying otherwise. When they realised the error, they simply recalled the email and never even sent a courtesy apology.4. Asked if the landlord's son could visit December 23rd as we were moving out, despite Tier 4 restrictions in London.We have written correspondence confirming all of the above should they feel the need to argue.Avoid these guys at all cost.

Acorn Kennington

Acorn, and in particular Adam Gould and Godefroy Herissay from their Kennington branch, come highly recommended. They were honest, professional, responsive and good-humoured throughout the entire process and were instrumental in getting the deal over the line. Not sure why buying/selling a property is as hard as it is, but the value of a good agent was made clear to us. If you are in Kennington and, like we were, overwhelmed with the number of property agents (every second shop seems to be one), would highly recommend dropping in to see Adam.

A person called Vincent as an agent…

A person called Vincent as an agent from Acron Crystal Palace was extremely rude, was not wearing a mask during covid, wanted to compare my earnings against me. Contacted the office to complain about this person they hang up on me then I called again and spoken to a manager and still waiting for his call. Based on Vincent conversation he records all voice calls without any disclaimer, I told him it was out of law he did not care and wanted to argue showing he was better off them me. my and my friend was just stating that the flat looks different from the picture but he still argues and disrespects me ... I assumed customer service was number 1 but thought wrong ... I am still waiting on the Manager call. ... Contacted Yousef Branch Manager but seem for Him i am the wrong person as Vincent is never nasty ... I and my colleague are the victim here but seem they just want the sell of an apartment and let Vincent not to apologies for his behaviour. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Really great experience… Not!

We've had a really great experience finding and putting in a rental offer with The Acorn Group. In particular, Vincent Bui helped us through every step of the process and was always on hand if we had any questions or concerns. Thank you so much Vincent and the rest of the staff at the Catford branch!Edit:I've had to come back and edit this to reflect the continued service my partner and I have received, which has sadly been incredibly poor. Once we were passed on from Vincent to other members of the team (Connor & Ryan) our service has declined massively. We were promised a complete repaint and clean of the unfurnished property when we put the offer in (2 months before moving!). When arriving on the move-in day we found that not only had the flat not been repainted, it was full of the previous tenant's furniture and discarded personal items! Also the en-suite bathroom (despite apparently being professionally cleaned) was full of black mould - which was majorly concerning as I suffer from asthma due to our previous flat's black mould infestation. Because of this we'd emphasised the importance of having a mould free flat to Acorn multiple times and they'd been really sympathetic, so to arrive and find this was really upsetting. It was clear that no one from Acorn had been round to inspect the property since the previous tenants had moved out. Thankfully Acorn did arrange for the old furniture to be removed, but this took incessant emails, phonecalls and even marching down to the Catford branch to speak to them in person for this to be sorted, which was not what we needed on an already stressful moving day. We never got a further response on the mouldy bathroom other than 'well it was professionally cleaned', despite the fact that the inventory description and photos also show it being mouldy. As of this point, nearly 2 weeks after we moved in, we are seemingly no closer to getting the paintwork completed despite also regularly pushing for it and enquiring about it. Overall a real letdown from a company that (at first glance) seemed quite good.

They love wasting everyone’s time

They love wasting everyone’s time. Just rented a flat though them and they are extremely slow, we had to chaise them over 100 times to give us any updates on the status of the flat. After i have signed the contract and made the payment they wouldn’t relieve the key until I go to their office with my passport ( which was never a discussion before I made the payment) also I don’t understand why they couldn’t meet me at the property I won’t recommend them! Jayne was extremely unprofessional and slow replying to my emails!

Great experience with Acorn Dulwich

Great experience with Acorn Dulwich. My flat was sold quickly following good marketing. The buyers solicitors dragged the sales process out but George was really on top of it - chasing them and prompting me when there were things we could try from sellers side to help move things along, drawing on experience and providing good advice. Would definitely use Acorn again!
