If I could give 0 star I would.

If I could give 1 star I would.. been their tenant for almost a decade and when the roof if the property falling down destroying my belongings and I had to move, the property manager Jessica based in Bromley gave the worst reference about me and 11 day rent arrears when in fact they have £1200 in deposit and choose to maliciously sabotage me is terrible when I have never missed a rent payment.

Hi "Lala". I am of course sorry that you have felt it necessary to leave the review you have as from what I can see, the circumstances leading to your tenancy termination are very different to what you have quoted here. Not appropriate to discuss on this open forum, however, if you would like to speak to me, please call 020 8315 6929 or email me at andrew.roberts@acorngroup.co.uk. Thanks.

DO NOT BELIEVE the fake reviews

DO NOT BELIEVE the fake reviews. Illegal gas safety checks, urgent repairs ignored, trying to extort monies for NO services rendered!!! Avoid like covid. This place needs shutting down and compensating the tenants who’s lives they risk just to turn a few quid. -100 review

My house valuation was carried out by…Leon

My house valuation was carried out by Leon. In my opinion, he carried out the most efficient service of the 3 valuations that I had requested. He was armed with documents containing similar properties to mine and a range of stats showing their sold prices.I felt that Leon’s valuation was the most honest and realistic valuation, based on other properties sold in my area.

The worst property agency

The worst property agency. They breached the tenancy agreement and they never responded to our emails and complaints. We have so many important issues running in the property (no fridge/freezer, no hot water, tap linking water). The most important is they got in the property a couple of times without giving us no access notice. They don't respect customers' privacy at all. If you don't want to get in troubles, definitely not recommended.

Absolutely dreadful.

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.. !

Lilia has been amazing in finding a tenant for me after I tried with other estate agents for more than two months without any luck. She got me couple of offers, shared valuable suggestions and I now have a tenant already check in. Pricey but very very effective service. Happy landlord :)

Great estate agents, get the job done!

Dealing with Amelia at acorn was a pleasure. She was proactive throughout and even though she wasn’t our agent (we were buying with acorn) she went above and beyond- doing things our agent should have! Would definitely consider using acorn if we decided to sell our property!

Leon in Streatham - very proactive

A slightly rocky start to the selling process, but Leon at the Streatham branch really came through for us and made sure our sale moved across the line. He was really proactive and made sure he had updates ready often before I asked for them. He was always up to speed and made sure everything went though. Thanks for the service
