GoogleAcres have been fantastic with helping me through the sale of my mother's flat. The sale has been difficult, taking 18 months to complete. We were initially with another agent but after 12 months and two previous sales collapsing we changed to Acres. Right from the outset the service was extremely efficient. Nigel dealt with the initial visit, demonstrating his breadth of knowledge of the housing market in the area. The paperwork was completed very quickly and 7 viewings were swiftly arranged to take place on the day the flat went on sale. As a result we received full asking price offers plus one over asking price on that day.
Becky and, latterly, Louise dealt with the sale from then on. They ensured I was kept up to date at every stage, maintaining excellent contact with my conveyancer during the process and providing emotional support as well during some difficult moments. I can only echo a previous reviewer who commented that some people are just rude. That was our unfortunate experience but Acres remained completely professional throughout ensuring the sale went through on time in the end. I wholeheartedly recommend Nigel and his team and would use them again.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

FacebookWe would highly recommend Acres, Wylde Green. Sharon and her team worked with us to ensure a smooth and stress free journey from valuation to completion. They liaised with all parties during the legal process and kept us up to date with progress. If we had queries they gave us clear answers and nothing was too much trouble so we never felt like we were asking silly questions (which we may well have been :-)). Thank you Sharon and her team.

GoogleRecently sold our property with Acres Four Oaks, clearly very experienced staff with excellent market advice, I don't reget going with an established estate agent rather than cheaper options available. Sales progressor Lorraine is worth the commission fee on her own, excellent communication along the way and genuinely don't think it would have gone well without her. I would defintley recommend this office.

GoogleAcres Four Oaks offered a fantastic service in selling our house - from the initial engagement through to the final sale, we were in great hands. Lorraine in particular was first class - at times managing the whole chain up and down. House sold very quickly and above the guide price, so we are very happy customers!

GoogleAcres are a well established Estate Agents and we chose them to sell our parents house based on their strong local reputation in Four Oaks.
They impressed us with their professionalism from the moment Nigel walked through the door. The sales team are excellent and Louise was exceptionally helpful in pushing matters along when the solicitors seemed to have run out of steam!!!!
Look no further!

From Paul, Chris to Lorraine, everything has been handled in a professional, diligent and friendly way.

GoogleAfter being on the market for 8 weeks with a well known on-line agent and having had very few viewings and only one offer of Β£15,000 below the asking price, I decided to try my local Acres office at Four Oaks. I'm glad I did! Within 2 weeks I had an offer at the full asking price and 10 weeks later the sale completed. Acres staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I had originally thought that on-line was the modern approach but I do feel that prospective buyers prefer to deal directly with a person when it comes to buying a house. Thank you Nigel, Liz and the rest of the team!

Undoubtedly local knowledge, and an extensive list of registered buyers made a real difference.

A very special thank you to Liz who was extremely pleasant and helpful throughout the entire process, providing regular updates, speaking to all involved within the chain to ensure a timely and smooth completion.

GooglePleased with their service from viewing and buying the house. Each time we communicate with them and the message passed over to the seller quicker than our solicitor. Able to get answers from them than from our solicitor. They also help our seller to push the exchange of contracts quicker and get in touch with my solicitor when we can't even get hold of our solicitor. Overall it is a good service from them.
They don't have much parking places in front of their stores. We had to park at Sainsbury and they have a limit of 20 Min. There is a pub nearby but not sure it is free parking. Lot of people park on road side near Tesco. Do leave plenty of time to find place to park.

GoogleWe purchased a property last year through Acres and they were a disgrace from start to finish. The initial phone call to arrange viewing was an arrogant affair, I dealt with Liz who talks to you like she is doing you a favour by letting you view the property. If you are lucky to be deemed βgood enoughβ by Liz she will arrange a viewing at her convenience (even though the property was empty). On the day of the viewing the agent was clueless. She was unable to answer any questions regarding the property and couldnβt even find the keys to the back door. We decided to make an offer which was accepted by the vendor and arranged a mutually acceptable completion date through our solicitors. Everything was on track and going smoothly when a week before the agreed exchange date I was called by Liz who began shouting at me and asking why we were not exchanging before the end of the month. She said the seller was very unhappy and gave the impression the whole sale could fall through, which was stressful to say the least. I called my solicitor in a panic to see what the problem was and if the seller was still happy with the dates... they were. Turns out it was Liz who was unhappy because the completion date meant she missed her monthly sales target. So much for having your clients interest at heart. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. Anyway the sale was completed on the scheduled date so bad experience over, right? Wrong! I was called by Liz who asked me to come to the office to collect the keys to my new home... but I had to come and collect them at a time that suited her. I arrive at the office on time and Iβm met with a sour faced Liz who demands to see my photographic ID before she would let me have the keys, even though we have met several times before and she knows exactly who I am. I produce my ID, she plonks down a bag of keys on the desk and thatβs it. No congratulations, nothing. She barely managed to muster a goodbye as I left the office. The only person with any credit is Nigel (owner of acres) who I dealt with briefly and was able to give me some good professional advice.

Thank you for your review and comments, I am very sorry, and disappointed to hear your purchase and dealings have not been as you would have expected.
I am also sorry if conversations have been viewed as negative, certainly this will not have been meant that way I am sure. The Four Oaks team are long established and aim to achieve the best we can for our clients, helping hundreds buy and sell each year. I absolutely taken on board your feedback, and will speak to the team to pass this on as this is of course important.
However, I must say that in my experience I do not find any of the team will ever shout at clients, and indeed the team are not under pressure to achieve results by a certain day, as the buying process will often be held up, but do act in the interests of our clients, the sellers, which can, on occasion be frustrating to buyers of course.
I hope you settle well into your new home and have many happy years there. Nigel Deekes Partner.
