TrustpilotOne of the worse estate agents
One of the worse estate agents. Agents would tell us we had a viewing with just one day notice and on top of that would tell us to show the buyers around. I've never heard of estate agents say could you go through your property with the buyers because they're too busy. Would not recommend, total waste of time
Hi "G". It is quite normal practice for sellers to show potential buyers round their property, although if you would prefer us to do this then I am sure that the branch would be happy to accommodate. With regards to the other issues, please drop me a line and I will investigate further. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - Customer Relations Manager - andrew.roberts@acorngroup.co.uk

One of the worst Agents I have come across in my life. Sold me a property on misleading letting valuations and got into 2 years tenancy agreement without break clause. and the nightmare started for me. Further information to follow.

TrustpilotSold a lie
Sold a lie ! Property still has single glazed, none of the radiators worked, plumbing barely coped with water pressure, landlord not interested whatsover in spending any money on the property and refuses to refund the deposit so TDS in arbitration for months one end.

TrustpilotAdvertised the wrong flat
Advertised the wrong flat - and I only found that out on viewing the flat, finding it was half the size and the communal garden advertised wasn't accessible at all. The agent wasn't aware until people started turning up for viewings. I believe the re-advertised flat is now also being advertised for more money, despite being smaller and in poor condition.
Hi KC Sunshine. I am sorry to hear this. Could you email the details of the branch your we’re dealing with and what the property address was and I will investigate. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - Customer Relations Manager (andrew.roberts@acorngroup.co.uk)

TrustpilotImmoral and untrustworthy estate agent
Absolutely terrible estate agents for renting. Took holding deposit from my sister, dragged their feet ‘chasing the landlord’ and then continued to hold an open house a week later to hold out for more money for the landlord. Immoral and greed driven from both estate agent and landlord
Hi Danielle. I am sorry to read your review but as you mention that the experience relates to your sisters tenancy and not yours, I am unable to investigate your issues. I can assure you though that this is not indicative of the service most of our clients experience... as you will see on Google. Could drop me an email with the details so that I can look into this and feedback to your sister. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - Customer Relations Manager (andrew.roberts@acorngroup.co.uk)

TrustpilotGreat support
Great supportMy sale turned out to more complex and drawn out than first expected and the support given to resolve issues and expedite the process wherever possible was greatly appreciated .Definitely not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and in this instance fee was very well earned.I would not hesitate to recommend.

TrustpilotThe worst agents ever
The worst agents ever. They are unorganised and once they take your money they don’t care . Will never use them again. Their head office was extremely rude did not help in a situation that was completely their fault. Will not use them or recommend them to anyone.
Hello GK. I am sorry to read this review and would like to understand a little more about the issues you experienced so that we can learn from where mistakes may have been made. I am unable to find you though on our system from your initials and wondered if you could drop me an email so that I can investigate further? Thanks in advance.

TrustpilotTerrible
Terrible! Avoid at all costs. I paid my rent late three times in the course of two years. Twice due to change in jobs and there was nothing I could it about it. They failed my reference for a new flat and was unapologetic. Extremely dismissive and rude staff. Took a year of being here to get a toilet seat fixed let alone other repairs. I’m a journalist so I’m planning to expose them soon if they carry on this way. Complete and utter disgrace of a company.

TrustpilotAbsolutely fantastic
I would like to thank the entire team for all their hard work and efforts throughout the whole buying process. They were amazing. I wasnt selling through them i was buying. Mark showed us around the house and even layed on the floor to show us a bath would fit 🤣. Speaking to Hayley and Mark throughout the whole process was fantastic. Every time I rang I got an answer straight away. Spoke to megan a few times and she was fantastic as well. These guys really know how to look after people and are really good estate agents ! Would definitely sell with them in the future. Thanks again for all your hard work

TrustpilotIncredibly poor experience as a tenant
Incredibly poor experience as a tenant. Consistently not answering to emails, many broken promises and frustration. After a month in the flat, some things promised to be fixed when we moved in are still broken. Takes a lot of time and effort to deal with, avoid if possible.
26/03/19 Dear Renato. I have spoken to the Property Management team and I believe that you have now spoken to one of our Team Leaders. The items that were conditional on the let being agreed were dealt with promptly, but I do understand that you raised a number of issues after you moved on. Obviously agreement on these items is required by the landlord and our PM team had attempted to achieve without delay but appreciate that our communication could have been better. I can only apologise for this and am sure all items will be resolved very soon. If I can help further please let me know. Thanks. Andrew26/03/19 Dear Renato. I am sorry to hear about your experience. I will investigate and come back to you. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - Customer Relations Manager

This was by far the worst tenancy and property management experience I have ever endured in my 10 years of living in London and now Sutton at Northumberland House. I have recruited roles in PM and can assure you that the standard of property management is exceptionally low, it was rarely visited, and security was frequently used to fill in the gaps. It takes months for anything to get fixed and communication is at a minimum. Tenants should be at the heart of the business, not a number and forgotten about. My advice would be to go to a more reputable property agent. Avoid, you will regret dealing with them...

TrustpilotUnprofessional liars who try to take your money before an offer is even accepted
A very unprofessional company with very unprofessional staff, Nicholas impartcular. I asked to put an offer on a flat. An email was sent immediately telling to make an offer and to transfer £500 deposit. Of course I was not going to give them my money until and offer was accepted. I never got a response from the email so emailed him to confirm he had received it. Still nothing. After not hearing from him at all for two days I called the office and spoke to A colleague who said it was pending and Nicholas would call me. 2 days later my boyfriend called up to chase the offer again. Nicholas then lied to my boyfriend and said he had already called me to tell me our offer hadnt been accepted. He then spoke to me very rudely still saying he had called me to tell me that. Such a liar and totally rubbish at his job. Stay clear of these and I’m now really glad that I didn’t get the flat as having this company as your estate agent would be a nightmare.
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.
