In the complicated and stressful business of selling a house Nathaniel and Katie were helpful, calm and supportive throughout - and they got the job done!

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

Excellent service from start to finish! Communication was very clear and everything was articulated in a professional and friendly manner. Would highly recommend using this Estate Agency to all. William Chidley was my personal contact, he was exceptional throughout, very knowledgeable and approchable which made for a good working relationship. Many thanks a job well done.

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

Smooth process of buying my new house and home in Plumstead with the excellent help of Nathaniel from John Payne. Nathaniel was always available to talk with his good nature and attitude at all times. Reducing some of the inevitable stress that comes with moving was what I hoped and Nathaniel and John Payne Estate Agents delivered on that.

Property Manager Gisella Rappa is unprofessional and incompetent. She does not liaise properly and timely between landlord and tenants. She also provides misleading information. If you are a landlord or tenant, please beware with her.

I recently made a formal offer on the River House in Eynsford through Bromley branch with Daniel, the agent handling the property. Despite making five separate attempts to follow up, via email, voicemail, and messages left with his colleagues, I have received absolutely no response whatsoever. This complete lack of communication is utterly unacceptable and highly unprofessional. It has left me with the strong impression that my offer was never even presented to the seller. The total radio silence raises serious concerns about the agent's competence and integrity, and the entire process has felt somewhat dodgy. I would strongly caution any potential buyers against dealing with this agent. Basic courtesy and professionalism appear to be entirely absent

Top marks to Blake Kingston

Blake Kingston is the guy you want when you need help. There was a difficult tenant leaving, incurred a debt with EDF and EDF disconnected the gas supply to the property. It proved almost impossible to get it reconnected - hours of phone calls, e-mails and messages over three weeks did not work. (Avoid EDF if you can). Blake provided an enormous help and managed what I was unable to achieve. He also provided competent advice and help with several other issues - cannot praise him high enough.

Great service

I found the process of selling my flat through acorn easy. Both Kevin and Lamar were very professional, responded quickly,and impressed me with their knowledge of the market in the area, and also honestly guided me on the best price. I also found their colleague Katie really great - she kept me in the loop and was always responsive. Will definitely use again!

Bad first time buyer experience

We’ve a very bad experience with their Gravesend office. Made the offer in August, my solicitor received the draft contract pack only in November, according to the estate agents (Ezze and Kevin) the management pack was ordered in September. This week Kevin called me stating the seller has financial issues and not able to pay for the management pack?! Fair enough, but they insisted on that I can pay for it and then it’ll be deducted from the purchase price. But what happens if one of parties pull out before exchange or I don’t get the mortgage (it was still pending due to cladding issues in the building), there’s no way I can legally claim back the price of the management pack. The seller asked us to have a meeting in the agency office then didn’t show up? The whole situation and the attitude of Kevin, the sales manager, was really cheeky - I’m not ready to pay the sellers conveyancing fee, I’m sorry. The property is back on the market as I see but with misleading info, it says it has riverside view which is not true! Very bad first time buyer experience… not recommend Gravesend office at all!

Racist group

Had a viewing booked recently and a couple (asian) had viewed the property before us arriving and had said in passing that the agent was very rude and had made remarks assuming that this was NOT the place for them. Of course me and my partner (black) decided to judge with our own selves and from the get go the agent in particular gave a frosty reception when seeing us. I went to put my hand out to shake and was rebuffed and when saying hello the reply was just straight to showing us the property. There was no eye contact or friendly smile and when we asked questions we was hit with blunt and to the point answers. There definitely was a air of that this place was NOT for us also and not even a goodbye or next steps if we was interested.When trying to ring through, the agent was never available and when speaking to someone on behalf of the agent we was hit with rudeness and abruptness and to this day have had no response from thr agent or company.Of course you can judge for yourselves but I would save yourself the bother and go elsewhere or suffer the same fate as the other couple as well as ourselves.

Tailored approach, friendly and proactive.

George and James were fantastic through the sale process. As a first time seller they explained the process clearly, were proactive in marketing the property and were always focussed and engaged during the sale process. I really valued the way they tailored the marketing to the house rather than taking a generic approach, and was very grateful of their help in overcoming obstacles as they arose during the conveyancing as needed. Thank you!

I had the best experience with Robin, I couldn’t have asked for better. He was completely professional at all times , extremely personable and accommodated all my requests. On the odd days where Robin was off work, his colleagues Nathaniel especially was always on hand to assist in Robin’s place. Thank you so much Robin and team, the purchase couldn’t have happened without your hardwork and persistence

Jamal - Brockley acorns estate agents

Jamal is such a fantastic estate agent, as with all dealings with Acorns they’re very family orientated and look out for you. He helped me in my recent move to a family flat enabling me to stay in the area which was no easy feat. Also, he’s recently helped my friend’s mum in looking for a suitable flat to rent. Really highly recommend Jamal, such a professional, warm person.

We had a fantastic service from Jack Mallon from the Peckham office showing us 2 properties in the area. Jack went out of his way to explain and answer all we needed to know about the properties and the area. He understood very well the type of properties we are looking for and was really willing to help. We were very impressed with his skills, knowledge and politeness. Me and my partner agree that Jack is by far the best estate agent we encountered.

Great experience with Blake

We will shortly be moving into our new rented property, which has been organised through Blake. We have used many of the big agents in the past, and this has been our most positive experience by far - after seeing the flat on Rightmove, Blake arranged a viewing for us within a few hours and by the next day had secured the flat for us. He has been extremely responsive whenever we have had questions, and generally everything has progressed very smoothly and quickly. We've also dealt with Sian who has also been very professional. From a tenants perspective I highly recommend.
