TrustpilotBest service you could ask for
I can’t thank Mark and Hayley and all of the team at Acorn Swanley enough! Always chasing on our behalf and updating us regularly. Buying your first home is tough as you have no idea what is supposed to happen but these two kept me sane throughout the whole process and I would recommend them to everyone! Thanks again!
Dear Sophie. I am very pleased that you were happy with the service you received from Mark and Hayley and thank you for leaving us with a review. If I can help further, please do let me know. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - Customer Relations Manager

TrustpilotAvoid Acorn Estate Agent Group - I wish to express my serious concerns…
I wish to express my serious concerns regarding Acorn Group's handling of my deposit for a rental property in Erith. The agreed-upon monthly rent was unilaterally increased after deposit payment. Following the end of my tenancy in December 2024 and my departure in February 2025, Acorn Group has withheld my £2,423.07 deposit since February 26th, 2025. I fulfilled all my contractual obligations, including leaving the property clean and undamaged. The absence of any justification for withholding my deposit and the lack of interest accrued raised significant concerns about their practices. I strongly advise against engaging with them.

TrustpilotTerrible Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!!!
Much like the comment below at time of writing this, I would also put Zero if I could. We have had the misfortune to come into contact with acorn, the lack of communication, and rudeness over the phone when you do finally get to someone is a joke. I think the staff forget they are speaking to humans, maybe they have too many clients as they cannot juggle Tenants and landlords at all. This has been the same for everyone we have had the misfortune to speak to. I would choose any estate agent over these, they are just looking to exploit tenants and landlords whilst providing no service at all!
Dear Cameron. Firstly apologies for the slow response to your review. I have ivestigated this and unable to see any evidence of what you suggest. I can see that you wished to terminate the tenancy early and that there was some confusion over this process. We apologise if the process was not clear and if the way in which it was communicated was no acceptable to you. You have received correspondence from a department manager who I know did try to speak to you on the matter. Apologies again. Acorn Customer Services.

Thank you Lisann for leaving us a 5* review. We are really happy that you were pleased with the service you received from Vincent and if I can help further please do let me know. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - Customer Relations Manager

TrustpilotIf I could rate this company a zero, I would.
If I could rate this company a zero, I would. We had a viewing booked for 5:30pm, we arrived at the property on time and continued to circle the building looking for the estate agent. At 5:40 I began calling the branch to find out where the estate agent was, I called a total of 15 times (the branch does not close till 6) and failed to reach anyone. After driving to the property, paying for parking, calling the branch, circling the building for half an hour, we gave up and returned home. I then called the branch the next morning to be told, the agent was at the property till 6… however we called the doorbell of the property many times and called the branch 15 times, with no success. The company is unprofessional and lacks any knowledge on how to communicate. WILL NOT USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.
Dear Jamie-May. I am very sorry to read your review and know that you have spoken to a couple of our team who have apologised for what hapened. Whilst I have not been able to identify the missed calls you mentioned, made to our office, via our call log on that evening, I do fully appreciate the inconvenience and frustration this issue would have caused you. I have tried to call you myself but if I can help further please do drop me a line. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - andrew.roberts@acorngroup.co.uk

TrustpilotExcellent service.
We used Acorn Gravesend to sell our property. William Cornwell (Will) was both personable and professional in all our dealings with him - to the extent that, if needed, he contacted us even on his days off. We had valuations from 5 agents but Will/Acorn really stood out and we are delighted we chose them. Our neighbours saw how quickly our house sold and have now also sold their house with the Acorn Gravesend team - can't get a better recommendation than that.
Hi Kate, thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that Will provided a personable and professional experience throughout the process. It's great to know that our service stood out among other agents and that your neighbours have also chosen us. Thank you for your recommendation!

TrustpilotOnly interested in their fees
Avoid Acorn , they are purley there to grab as much money out of Landlords as possible, no interest in managing the Landlords property as it should be, when problems arrive they ignore emails and calls, and let defaulting tennants continue to not pay with little or no interest in chasing or persuing. Dont do anything proactive always wait for the landlord to push them before they act, cause more issues than they solve. Could not care less about the client, and hide behind the small print to expunge all responsability, All they want to do id charge fees for anything they can think off, AVOID at all costs

TrustpilotAVOID TO RENT WITH THIS AGENCY!!
AVOID TO RENT WITH THIS AGENCY AT ALL COSTS!! COWBOY CONTRACTORS LEAVING YOUR HOUSE WORSE THAN WHEN ORIGINALLY MOVED IN!! I have rented off this estate agents for 3 years, The maintenance is absolutely diabolical the worst maintenance service in my 8 year of renting properties! Lost count on the amount of times I have had to ask for a damp proof course to be carried out and for 3 years all I've heard is " open your windows 365 days a year give your wall a wipe it'll be fine".. FINALLY got a damp proof course this week, the cowboy contractors have left me with no Internet as they have had to take the socket off the wall and then put back on resulting in them breaking it and doing a shoddy job, sockets hanging off the walls were they have had the audacity not to sort the matter and dirty food bags left on my bedroom floor for my dog to eat out of when I came back in!! I have young children and dogs and the service that has been provided I wouldn't let a homeless person live in here let alone my family!! Shocking shocking service and I will be taking all of this along with the other problems yet to have been solved over the 3 year to the housing ombudsman. DO NOT rent off of this so called lettings company!!

TrustpilotWe recently contacted Acorn regarding a…
We recently contacted Acorn regarding a flat for rent in Tamworth Place, Croydon. From the beginning we told the agent that we were family (2nd cousins). We arranged the viewing, when we arrived they didn’t have the keys to the flat so we rearranged to the following business day and they cancelled again as they didn’t have the key. Since we liked the building, we submitted our offer after the letting negotiator suggested that the landlord was offering discounts to most tenants. Next minute, the landlord rejected it due to the cost (bearing in mind it was the same reduction given to everyone else but whatever, that’s fair enough). Next minute, the landlord said he doesn’t allow HMOs, at this point we had already made it clear that we’re family and if that’s the case they didn’t specify it in the property advertisement. We thought that either the landlord or the agency were making excuse after excuse to stop us from renting that place. We cleared it again, confimed we’re family and didn’t hear back from them at all. I called again, spoke to a senior lettings negotiator who advised they need evidence that we’re family such as a DNA test or our birth certificates to prove we have the same surnames. Obviously being second cousins we won’t have the same surname, so I offered to write a binding document which they refused because they wanted our parent’s birth certificates (bearing in mind we’re not underage and we’re NHS nurses). Under GDPR, it’s not legal to ask for someone else’s data without their consent especially without telling us how you’ll handle that data. It’s very clear they didn’t want to rent to black Spanish people but what do you expect if your property is in Croydon, Acorn could have been honest about the situation instead of running us around for a almost a week and to be honest they shouldn’t be taking on racist landlords with ther gentrification plans. Integrity over money. Safe to say we won’t ever deal with them again.
Hi Maymouna. I can assure you that the succes or failure of your application was not as a result of race. It was because you were unable to provide evidence that you and your co-tenant are related. Without this evidence the landlord would be at risk of renting the property illegally resulting in potential fines. I am sorry that your application was unsuccessful but wuld be very happy to help you find a property that has the necessary licence. Thanks

The worst letting property management I have worked with. My property manager goes for weeks without contacting you, emails ignored, property in a bad state and no responsibility to help you. I have chased my property manager for months now, you call the head office it seems either your messages are not passed on. The worst experience!
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
