The staff at the Acorn Rainham branch are a credit to the sector, from our initial talks with Kieran through to Mark and Remmi when completing. They all went above and beyond to make sure we was fully satisfied and always kept us updated. In this process we had dealt with several estate agents and by far Acorn Rainham were the best. If we were to need an estate agent again. Acorn Rainham would be our top choice and would highly recommend them. Well done Mark, Kieran and Remmi Thankyou so much Lee & Alice

Great experience

I have dealt with multiple estate agents in the past, and I found the staff at Acorn Rainham branch exceptional. Mark and Kieran were professional as well as very friendly and easy to get on with. They kept me informed the whole time, which other agents have not. I would use them again in the future

I had an excellent experience with Acorn Real Estate Group, and I want to especially thank Mark, Kieran, and Remmi for their outstanding support throughout the process. From start to finish — and particularly up to the exchange of contracts — their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication were second to none. They kept me well-informed at every stage, provided honest and clear advice, and were always available to answer my questions promptly. It’s rare to find a team so committed to client satisfaction. Thanks to their hard work, the process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Acorn and this fantastic team for anyone looking for reliable and genuinely supportive estate agents.

Unbelievable awful.

Unbelievable awful. Rented a property through them for a year. Moved in three days later than arranged due to their mistakes on name, address and date on contract (the three most important details on the contract!) End of tenancy handled similarly incompetently. If I could give 0 stars, I would

Disappointing selling experience

I was trying to sell my flat using the Acorn Peckham Estate Agent. I was disappointed in the service. - The flat wasn't valued correctly, delaying the amount of time it was on the market at the right price. This should have been an honest conversation with me up front. I would have welcomed that. - There were lots of system errors initially which again delayed my property being listed. - During the negotiation process I was assured that I would be speaking to the manager of the branch on a weekly basis. This didn't ever happen. - I never felt there was particularly fast feedback on viewings with clear recommendations for how to address for the next viewing.

So disappointed.

Im a landlord and this was going ok, albeit with the usual chasing, until recently. now i’ve had a manager who doesn’t respond, then gives mixed messages sometimes in the same email, has not paid the tenants back their deposit, and has been wildly slow or unresponsive on repairs. I am in despair of finding a competent management company. This isn’t it. Update: I’ve since complained. but the approach is still very much “sorry for the frustration, let us try to dump the cost on the tenants, failing that we will dump them on you.”

One of the worst experience

One of the worst experience! Very unprofessional. They just want your money and nothing else. Advice to avoid.

Efficient and thoughtful

As a first-time buyer, Mark Sugarman was helpful and made the process a walk in the park. He was professional and followed up as needed to ensure I was at ease and understood each step. Mark was friendly, transparent, and communicative, and I felt fully informed and knew what the next steps were with the mortgage. Each person approaches buying a house differently, but Mark made my experience awesome (the man who lights up the room is what I called him). I felt listened to in every conversation. His thoughtful attitude is much appreciated, and I’ve been very pleased with how smooth the process has been and how quickly! Thank you, Mark and your team in Rainham, Kent.

Friendly professionalism

As a property professional with over 20 years experience, I have been struggling recently when trying to purchase a new flat in London due to a lack of professionalism in a challenging residential market. Not so with Acorn and specifically, Christian Fellows, who has demonstrated great knowledge of the market in general and the property he is marketing on behalf of his client. Life would be so much easier if more estate agents acted with this level of friendly professionalism.

Very Bad experience

If a zero-star rating were available, I would willingly assign it to this company I am writing to share my recent experience with Acorn Property Management Bromley, and unfortunately, it has been nothing short of dreadful. After renting and residing in a property managed by Acorn Property Management Bromley for just one year, the ordeal I faced upon departure was disheartening. It is disconcerting to observe how estate agents often manipulate deposits, quoting unreasonable deductions under the assumption that they hold the upper hand. This experience has shed light on why some tenants withhold their last rent payment at the end of their tenancy, as the letting agency invariably seems to side with the landlord. Upon vacating the property, I was shocked to discover that the estate agent supported the landlord in unjustly deducting unnecessary repair costs from my deposit. Despite receiving an inventory report stating that i left the property in good condition, deductions of £150 for rug cleaning (which had already been professionally cleaned) and £440 for redecoration were made without considering normal wear and tear over one year. In an attempt to address the issue, I took the case to a tenancy dispute resolution service. Despite offering a compromise of £220, which I believed to be fair, the landlord rejected it. Thankfully, the deposit scheme ruled in my favour, acknowledging the unfair deductions and rightfully returning a large portion of my deposit. I urge extreme caution when considering engaging with Acorn Property Management Bromley. My unfortunate experience serves as a stark reminder of the importance of thorough scrutiny and vigilance in such matters. Proceed with caution.

I have nothing but praise for Acorn

I have nothing but praise for Arikson and Dammy at Acorn who sold my property quickly, and were honest, fair and knowledgeable at all times. It was a relief to work with them after originally signing with another agent who promised the world and delivered nothing. Highly Recommend.
