TrustpilotExcellent service from Acorn Estate Agents in Stroodhe service from Acorn Estate Agents in…
The service from Acorn Estate Agents in Strood was exceptional from the start to when the house was sold. Kieran listened to what I wanted to achieve from the sale and introduced appropriate buyers. Personnel at the office always greeted me positively and queries were answered timely which kept my mind at peace during the sale process.

TrustpilotAbsolute disgrace
Absolute disgrace. After getting pulled pillar to post with loads of different properties and then not actually getting one. The last one topped it for me and my partner after signing a tenancy agreement for one property the landlord changed his mind and then the holding fee got moved onto another property. We then signed another agreement and got the house. Even got a moving date. So we made arrangements with a removal company and both cancelled the tenancy agreements on the properties we were both in. The landlord had used two letting agency’s and dropped us too so our holding fee meant nothing. Acorn were prepared for us to be homeless. They still owe the holding fee and it’s been a month. What if we needed that for a holding fee on another property? Disgraceful

TrustpilotSelling my home
I invited several Estate Agents to my home with the aim of choosing one. Adam from Acorn was the clear favourite. Adam was very knowledgeable and knew the area having sold property nearby; he answered all my question and made me aware of things I had not even thought of; he was respectful of my home of many decades and demonstrated a real enthusiasm in making the sale. Adam reassured me that he would be involved in every step of the process including liaising with solicitors. He was true to his word as when the sale was stalling due to the solicitors, he managed to push things through to completion. Adam and Sophie understood my working situation, and were flexible in arranging viewing times. I highly recommend Acorn in Kennington, they are a professional decent organisation.

TrustpilotTop 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.

TrustpilotThe best Estate agents in Medway
Just about to Exchange on our property. Brilliant job done by the sales team in Rainham office, after so many letdowns by an other Estate agent who we felt did not act in our best interest, we switched to Acorn. We were taken by surprise, ACORN Estate Agents Rainham, friendly but professional the sales team got to work straight away. Great advice, superb communication throughout and they go out of the way to accommodate your requirements. Can't thank Mark and his team enough. We can't recommend them enough.

TrustpilotBad 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!

Great experience with Acorn Dartford for selling my flat. In particular, I would like to highlight that Katlyn has been very professional, helpful throughout the whole process. She is proactive on communication all the time to ensure status well communicated on both sides and help to remove bottlenecks efficiently. Acorn Dartford and Katlyn have made things easier and I am glad that I have made the correct decision to choose Acorn and have my property is on safe hand.

TrustpilotAcorn Grove Park
Acorn Grove Park, Sadly the most ineptitude estate agent I have ever dealt with me in my over 30 years of being in property. We instructed them to sell property in August last years. 3 failed sales. Incredibly rude and arrogant. Most conversation with them is a shouting battle. Louise, Festina and Jake the Area Manager are painfully rude, never owning up to their numerous errors and mistake. Just a sad excuse for estate agent

TrustpilotGodefroy the Great Acorn
Godefroy from ACORN Estate Agents Camberwell has been a true gem. Godefroy found us a buyer within a few weeks and he kept us updated at all time chasing both sides buyer and seller. We knew at all time which solicitor to chase so they could make excuses... We set up a WhatsUp group with my flatmates so Godefroy advised us before each visit. The whole process was smooth and efficient. The Head office is also on the ball. They were available and took time to explain when we had questions.I highly recommend ACORN. A 5 stars Service !!! Thank you ACORN Team.

TrustpilotRacist 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.

TrustpilotAfter the death of our Dad
After the death of our Dad, my sister and I decided to sell the family home. Richard Allen from the Catford branch of Acorn came to visit us and to see the house. At what was an extremely emotional time he guided us through the sales procedure. Richard was very straight forward to deal with, He has an engaging, calm manner and we felt very reassured using him. Other members of the team were also involved in the day to day dealings through the course of the sale and the whole team worked well for us. They were quick to come back to us with any queries that we raised and our family home now has a new chapter with a young family.

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.

I am more than happy to recommend the service provided by Mer Alarcon. She is very polite and kind, she listens to my demands as a renter and she does call checks.When I requested to substitute the taps in the bathroom's sink as suggested by the plumber on a house visit, she swiftly noticed the landlord.Soon, the taps were changed.Also, she rang to inspect the smoke/CO2 alarms. That is an important health and safety issue.She is calm and attentive.She shows awareness of the crisis of the present rent market, that is extremely expensive for tenants.And, for any update she uses her good offices to act as an intermediate between me and the landlord.Overall, she has provided a satisfactory service.

After informing them since no contract is signing to take my property off the market it is still on their website and sold sign still on my property I will now instructed my lawyer:>just to show how these people work with no care or consideration for home owner,my property sale was not moving towards a contract after near 5 months so I ask to withdraw it from the market which took nearly 3 weeks of back and forth to finally get it done and even now 20/9/22 the sale sign sub to contract is still up and running on my property smt these agents is something else

We would like to thank Hayley, Rhea, Blaise and the rest of the team for making the selling process so easy, previous experience was not so pleasant. They did exactly what they said they were going to do when we first met Hayley, kept us informed through out the process, answered calls and returned them if they were busy on other lines, progressed solicitors and were always pro-active. They remained professional at all times. A confident young team that worked well together and you can see they have been trained to an excellent standard. Defiantly recommend Swanley Office and have done so with another property sold subject to contract going through at the moment with Family.

We dealt with Paul first who came to value our property, he was very positive that we could achieve what we wanted. Lukass then saw us through to the end, he is amazing, nothing was too much trouble, if we had any concerns he sorted it out immediately.

GoogleLangford Russell completed the sale of my house last week after a drawn out conveyance (entirely out of their control). They were brilliant. Particular mention to Lukass who was utterly fantastic. He was extraordinarily patient and kind towards me despite the levels of stress and constant comms from me. He was diligent, did what he said he would do and pushed to get answers. He went above and beyond to speak to the chain, gave me sound advice and counsel and spent an inordinate amount of his time on this sale. He is an absolute credit to the estate agent and they should be proud to have him. I'm so so grateful to him and Oliver for their persistence and patience. Thank you Thank you Thank you to them both. Langford Russell in general obtained a good price for my house, the pictures and listing process was seamless and all at a reasonable price. So happy. Paul listed my property last year and despite moving sevenoaks, took the time to congratulate me on exchange. Don't hesitate to sell your house with them and ask for Lukass!

Trustpilot5-star service from a 5-star team at Acorn Swanley.
We recently employed Acorn at Swanley to deal with the sale of our property.The 3 agents we approached were were broadly in line with each other regarding fees. So, this left us with the remaining decision of who the best agent in our opinion and who made us feel confident that they would not only deliver, but provide the best quality service overall. We felt that Hayley and the team at Acorn could do this for us. Acorn were confident that we could also achieve a better sale price the other 2 rivals quoted us, but as those 2 were both aligned on their valuations, we did not know if Acorn were the outlier in the market ? We questioned, but Hayley's confidence in the market, together with the specific sales evidence provided, made us feel it was definitely worth a shot and we signed a short 4-week contract to ask Acorn to demonstrate this via actual results.Acorn promptly marketed the property brilliantly and the images taken by their photographer, represented the property extremely well, immediately gaining massive interest in the property online and resulting in a full day of viewings within 24hrs of going online. The viewings happened the next Saturday and they provided us with immediate feedback via phone of the interest achieved from the viewings that day. We were delighted on Monday morning to have received a number of offers over the guide price. Acorn had not only met their original estimation, but a bit more too !For any issues or queries that arose during the process, Acorn negotiated everything on our behalf with care, skill and attention to detail, representing us professionally at all times and ensuring we were happy with the outcome achieved.The team's energy, commitment to quality and communication at all times, has been first class !We would be happy to recommend or use them again without any hesitation.A massive thank you to Acorn Swanley and all of the team !
