Acorn New Homes Bromley reviews

Liz was outstanding from the start, she was friendly, welcoming, highly knowledgeable in her field but not at all pushy. It was a rather lengthy journey getting to completion on my new home purchase due to various issues and delays in the chain but Liz kept in regular contact and worked with me through the challenges we met. Liz has recently moved to a different role but was still kind enough to keep in touch and congratulate me on completion! I also dealt with Imogen and Akin at Acorn and they were just as helpful and responsive. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Acorn to friends or family in the future - thank you all 🏡

Alfie was absolutely outstanding throughout my property search, always incredibly patient, kind, and highly professional, even when I was honestly comparing multiple properties. He took genuine care to talk through every option with me and also kindly handled communication with the estate agent representing my own property, which took a lot of stress off my shoulders. When he was away, Liz stepped in seamlessly, showing excellent teamwork. Even though I eventually chose a different property, I truly felt supported and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest and supportive estate agency team.

From walking off the street on spec all the way to completion, Liz has been a real star. From understanding our needs, to advising us on how to make the most of the space, she has been super helpful. Most importantly of all, Liz was instrumental in keeping all the other moving parts of the chain pulling in the same direction - no mean feat!

I found myself in the nightmare position of finding a new home I loved, but running into endless problems selling my current property. The whole process eventually took 18 months and throughout it all, Liz Briselden was magnificent in keeping me updated, offering advice and solutions. I would go as far as to say that I don’t think I would have the home I do now without her support.

Liz was so incrediblely helpful throughout the whole process of purchasing my first flat. She was very quick with replying any queries I had and even ended up helping me move my sofa! I was very grateful for her help. Sam also helped liase with the solicitors when complications arose and dealt with all issues very efficiently

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!

GRAVESEND OFFICE AWLFUL SERVICE (OR SHOULD WE SAY LACK OF SERVICE) FROM THEM!If we could give them 0 stars we would!Kevin the sales manager was suppose to be valuing our property on Saturday 19/10/2024 at 11am, however even though this date & time was confirmed by email, we got a voicemail asking to change the time, we then got a text stating the original date & time! When we called the office to find out what was going on, no one knew anything about it & then we got a phone call from Kevin on the day of valuation saying he had no idea where that information came from & after taking loads of details from us, he said he would be with us at 11am, if the traffic was ok.25 minutes after the time Kevin was due we got a phone call from the office stating he had broken down!!, cannot understand why he didn’t have the courtesy to call us himself! The office said someone will call us on the Monday to rebook an appointment, this never happened, we did not receive an apology from Kevin & considering he is suppose to be a manager, he should have at least contacted us explaining himself! We have not heard from him or the office again.Absolutely unprofessional & so much negativity even before they crossed our threshold! We would never recommend Acorn following this awful experience!

Brilliant service from Liz and the team. Tricky periods navigated and moved in now finally. Liz was always available to help steer the process and was a reassuring presence throughout. Went above and beyond often replying on her days off and out of hours.

Disappointing selling experience

I was trying to sell my flat using the Acorn Peckham Estate Agent. I was disappointed in the service. - The flat wasn't valued correctly, delaying the amount of time it was on the market at the right price. This should have been an honest conversation with me up front. I would have welcomed that. - There were lots of system errors initially which again delayed my property being listed.- During the negotiation process I was assured that I would be speaking to the manager of the branch on a weekly basis. This didn't ever happen. - I never felt there was particularly fast feedback on viewings with clear recommendations for how to address for the next viewing.

Acorn - terrible agent

Joy Davies, is one of the worst agent I have met. Very rude, aggressive and uses scare methods to getting her way. How is this person still employed here? The lies that she tells to try to get her way is shocking. Don't use her there are better people to speak with there.

Very disappointing experience with…

Very disappointing experience with Acorn Estate Agents. As a landlord, I found their management service highly unprofessional, dodgy, manipulative and poorly handled. There were deductions made from my rental income that were not clearly authorised or properly communicated, which caused unnecessary frustration and a serious loss of trust.

Efficient and thoughtful

As a first-time buyer, Mark Sugarman was helpful and made the process a walk in the park.He was professional and followed up as needed to ensure I was at ease and understood each step. Mark was friendly, transparent, and communicative, and I felt fully informed and knew what the next steps were with the mortgage. Each person approaches buying a house differently, but Mark made my experience awesome (the man who lights up the room is what I called him). I felt listened to in every conversation.His thoughtful attitude is much appreciated, and I’ve been very pleased with how smooth the process has been and how quickly! Thank you, Mark and your team in Rainham, Kent.

I had an excellent experience with Acorn New Homes, especially thanks to Liz. Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly supportive, making the purchase of my first home seamless. Liz went above and beyond in every aspect, demonstrating remarkable kindness, patience, and exceptional organisation. She was always prompt and ready to assist. Her dedication, efficiency, and attention to detail were truly outstanding and made all the difference. Exceptional service from start to finish. Highly recommend.

We recently bought a new apartment through Acorn New Homes and Liz helped us throughout the process. Liz was very supportive and patient with all questions as we were first time buyers. She guided us of the entire process and supported all our requests from viewing to completion. She was very organised and diligent with the activities involved in the end to end process. We greatly appreciate her support and for making the entire process extremely smooth. I would definitely recommend her and wish her all the best!

Worst of the worst

Worst of the worst. Tried to sell me insurance and when I confronted them as this is not required by law , they tried to extort it by making me sign a waiver which creates a different legal basis , when I told that that this too isn't required by law and illegal to enforce, they made everything possible to make the rent hard. In each step I came back just by following the law so in the end they tried to erase my holding deposit and gain money out of a moving date that was days before I even moved in. This is a scam agency

Esther Kerenge has been excellent

I've been very impressed with Esther Kerenge, who took over as my property manager for my rental in London. Since she came on board, she's followed up directly with my tenants to manage the handover of the broadband contract, and she's been proactive about getting my appliance insurance paperwork properly logged with Acorn, including making sure she has direct access to the insurers should anything need handling. We're also working together to keep all the safety certificates up to date and my property folio in good order, especially with the Tenants' Rights legislation that came into force in May 2026.

Stay away from these cowboys

Stay away from these cowboys. Bunch of liars and useless. Had so much trouble at leaving a property I was renting because their new tenant failed to move in to a moldy house. Even after I gave all keys and cleaned house still tried to make me liable for rent & bills. Now after 2.5years I get letters to pay bills that the property was empty. Do yourself a favour and stay away.

Appalling service from Acorn in…

Appalling service from Acorn in Gravesend. My husband and I were the buyers, for a property, that Acorn Gravesend were marketing. My husband and I made an offer, for the property we liked and Acorn informed us that if we wished for our offer to be accepted, by the sellers, then we would need to use Acorn/Langford & Russell as our agents. As we loved the house, we agreed to proceed with this condition. Thereafter we made a second visit, to the house we was buying, and we asked the sellers if this was the case … which they stated was not the case and in fact would of preferred we used Wards (which was already lined up) as they are a lot more efficient etc.

Excellent communication and service!

Very pleased with the service!Big thank you to Mark Sugarman, Kieran Thomas and Rachel Smith for their support with the transaction!I am a first time buyer and when I first called to enquire about viewing the property, I spoke to mark who was very warm, bubbly and friendly. He called me regularly to keep me updated on progress which was appreciated. He made sure I was happy and addressed any concerns/questions I had. When I viewed the property, Kieran Thomas showed me around and answered all my questions really well. He was patient, I didn’t feel rushed at all! Kieran made sure I’d seen everything I wanted to see and had enough information about the property and the area. Also, he was friendly and dropped me from the viewing back to the town centre saving me a 30 min walk.Towards the end of the transaction, Rachel kept me updated via phone and the case management system. She was polite and the notes I’d receive were very useful and kept me well informed. When we had blockers (things holding us up) Rachel would push to get things progressed faster.They all made it as stress free as possible! Excellent customer service

Dammy was incredible

Dammy was incredible, he was so diligent in making sure that all the T’s were crossed and I’s were dotted to make the sale and purchase progress. He replied to every email, phone call, chased up solicitors, helped me complete legal documents. Without him the sale wouldn’t have gone through and he was far more conscientious than my solicitors in following everything up. I thoroughly recommend Dammy 100%. He is also very upbeat and positive, you really feel he has your back during such a stressful time. Best estate agent ever, he really is fantastic.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend Acorn

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend Acorn for selling your property. Arikson Franco was absolutely fantastic at getting a lot of quality viewings - people who were genuinely interested in the property and who could put decent offers. They are definitely ahead of their competitors in the market with the quality of delivering what they promise. They are the best in South East I just can't recommend them enough. Arikson Franco is an absolute Super Star 🌟 Thank you so much for all your help and efforts for getting this across the line.

Part 2 as promised

I guess this is a monthly update to the still on- going 'Joy' of renting via Acorn.I stand by my 1st review and I will stand by this one... I will not remove just because you want me to.I will start by saying there is a property file with Medway Council if you become the future Tenant of this house.. there has been previous contact made for you, I've now vacated for 3 1/2 weeks the house sits empty.Also love nothing more than walking to booked viewings when nobody arrives! Brilliant waste of time. To the one person viewing who walked out after saying to much work.. I salute you sir your correct.No further on for a useful meaningful solution, there have been viewings and offers made to the landlord for said house on market which has been on market since 19th October.. but the offers not accepted even at a higher rate of rental than I paid, guess when someone who doesn't live there still pays rent why would you want to, so easier to refusing future viewings and making myself available until its returned in April.In the same hand I'm certainly not going to be scrubbing anymore damp/mould off walls which is clearly not the 'condensation how you live lines' might be something more to do with water ingress... like the stains on bedroom ceilings not made good... certainly not something that I will sorting. Check the GSC for this house as the recommendations for age of boiler from the proper Gas safety test have clearly been ignored it's not been serviced for many years of which a landlord is legally responsible to service his boiler (it's 30 plus years old!) There was supposed to be a mutual date set for an early end of tenancy, my reasons for early ending were repeated non repairs and false Gas safety certificates.I'm in process of compiling my report to Housing Ombudsman, broken locks will be refitted and the keys for said lock returned in April.I'm sure next update will follow as this is the 'gift' that just keeps giving...

I was very pleased with Acron

I was very pleased with Acron; William who had initiated the property sale, was excellent and was great in his approach and handling at the start. Daniel Langiano, who followed this through, was brilliant as he had a difficult task but persisted and handled the sale with great professionalism and sensitivity. Dan kept us updated through great communication and, at the same time, made sure proper processes were followed. We were grateful for his help to see this through completion

My new Flat 😁

I’ve been in the process of buying a flat, and had numerous challenges along the way. However two agents in particular Kieron and More recently Remmi have been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND SOO HELPFUL. They’ve been with me every step of the way and made sure there was no issues and if there was any they’d do their utmost best to rectify this for me. Thanks

Avoid at all costs!!

Avoid at all costs!!Acorn, or is it A Con, and especially Sales Manager William Cornwell at their Gravesend branch, should be avoided if you’re keen to sell your property. Although William has now transferred to Acorn Strood branch, he was meant to have handled our property sale and purchase of another property also sold via Acorn. Both fell through due to a multitude of issues badly handled by William and Acorn. This must have cost them in excess of £15,000 in sales fee earnings. Lies after lies and excuses that we caught him/them out on and just a lot of big words with no substance. Many mistakes were made and the communication was aside from full of fibs and bs, just plain awful. Unprofessional and amateurish from an allegedly experienced manager, but also shocking from an established agency like Acorn. After 5+ months on their books, in excess of 25 viewings and only 1 meaningful offer, our buyer pulled out and informed Acorn/William on a Thursday afternoon, no information was shared with us. We contacted our buyers directly a day later as we were ready to proceed and they told us they had withdrawn the day before. William doesn’t work Fridays so he replied to our email request for explanations on the Saturday with more fibs and excuses and said he’d get the property back on the market and crack on with finding us a new buyer. William also said he had an interested potential buyer already, but no viewing was booked in at all. Just another lie!The Thursday after, almost a week after he knew our buyers had withdrawn, our property was still showing on their sales platforms as SOLD STC despite we again on the Monday before had given instruction to reduce the price. Needless to say that we terminated our agreement with Acorn immediately and sent an email expressing our disappointment, but guess what? No reply of course. Cowardly sticking his/their head in the sand and simply just removing our property this morning. A formal complaint is being processed, but save yourself the agony and frustration by using a different and proper professional agency.
