Acorn Estate Agents

Dreadful, ineffective opportunists
Absolutely dreadful, ineffective and downright deceitful estate agents. I used them to sell a property a few years ago and they failed to deliver on every single promise they made. Lots of big talk about having close relationships with buyers, knowing buyers personally etc etc, but it all proved to be lies. The eventual transaction with one of these so called ‘friendly’ buyers dragged on and on which cost me a fortune in ongoing bills, council tax, management charges etc and although the individuals handing the sale were understanding, constantly apologising and agreed to address the fee, the firm themselves some two years on have now suddenly decided to take me to court for the balance of the fee they agreed to reduce. Bring it on I say, I can’t wait for the opportunity to demonstrate to the court what outright crooks these people are ! I clearly (and fortunately in writing) instructed them to discontinue my sale unless the fee was reduced but now, after almost two years of silence they suddenly issue proceedings - smells to me of a business in serious financial trouble and desperately searching for ways to bring in some cash. With so very many estate agents to chose from in the area, Acorn are in my opinion certainly one to be avoided as they will promise big, deliver little, take little or no responsibility for their ineptitude whilst charging very top end fees. There are far better and MUCH less expensive agents to use, I chose Acorn because of all the big talk but as the saying goes ‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating’ and trusting Acorn with a transaction is likely to leave you with a very bad taste indeed, so save yourself the trouble and use someone else instead
