Thank you!

After loosing a flat we loved, Adam showed us a place that wasn’t even on the market yet. He had got to know exactly what we were looking for and this place was perfect for us. We have now moved in and couldn’t be happier! A massive thank you to Adam from the Forest Hill office for helping us out!

We are currently in the process of purchasing a property with JW Wood estate agent. Kerry helped us navigate through the purchase of our dream property, which was difficult to secure due to the level of interest. Excellent communication and transparency was demonstrated. We would not hesitate to engage with JW woods in future providing the rest of the process is a smooth transition going forward. Thanks again to JW woods

Absolutely dreadful.. acorn got everything wrong they could have. Communication was shocking, contractual agreement was wrong, late rental payment.. I could go on. Estate agents generally have a bad reputation and acorn are a classic example. I’d recommend going alone.. ! THIS COMPANY IS A TOTAL JOKE AND SHOULD BE BANNED IN THE UK FROM SELLING PROPERTY AND RIPPING CUSTOMER OFF SELLING £8000 FEE PEOPLE WALK AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THIS COMPANY IS A 0. IT A SHIT COMPANY THE COMPANY HAS BEEN REPORTED AND ACTION WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

To Mark and Kieran

To Mark and Kieran What can I say... I've always sold through purple bricks as I thought it was a lot of money to give to an agent. But after the last week you and your team hsve been amazing. This last few days with the bottom of the chain not very pro active, your team have pulled it through and it hasn’t been easy . Your constant calls emails and communication and patience's ! has been spot on. We are both extremely impressed with the honestly of the team. I have always known what's happening where which cant be easy with a chain. With the way solicitors are now with being afraid of being sued, we seem to have indemnities and waivers all over the place. such a night mare. I would highly recommend your company and above all your team with there professionalism,( even calling me out of hours on there mobile wow to keep me updated on the progress ) So Glad you cold called me that day back in February.

Natalia is excellent

Natalia is excellent. She was on top of everything, and very good to deal with. Very pragmatic and strong communication. There had been a huge issue with the prior management team and she did a lot to turn things around. You will be lucky to deal with her.
