I have rented through Acorn on three occasions over the past few years. The first was fine and they were the managing agent and promptly handled the repairs that were required.
On the 2nd occasion, they found a house for me and three friends. Unfortunately, they were not involved in the management of the rental and we had to deal directly with a very aggressive, unhelpful and money-grabbing landlady.
My husband and I currently have a rental that was arranged through Acorn but isn't managed by them. They seem to have got less competent in the intervening years and, as others have reported, we had to deal with the head office which didn't draw up the paperwork correctly. They also tried to charged us for drawing up the next year's tenancy agreement, even though they were simply paid by our landlady to find tenants for her. We made it clear they would not be getting more money from us for nothing.
Am less impressed than on previous occasions, but I reverted to them after a very poor experience with Jones & Virdi of Crofton Park.
