They are thieves posing as real estate agents!! Our pipes started rattling so loud at night which kept us and our neighbours up the whole night. After multiple complaints from my neighbours and I were left unanswered. It took them two weeks to send someone to have a look at it. Acorn then made us wait even longer to actually fix it as they wanted to find someone cheaper. When we checked out of our apartment they attempted to exploit us by charging fees for their at attempts to upgrade features in the apartment which they claimed were broken by us but could not substantiate it with pictures. They never answer any emails and when following up after a month where my deposit I was greeted by an aggressive and rude response to wait to stop emailing instead of telling me when I would receive my deposit which I already waited for over a month. DO NOT USE THEM as it will lead to a loss of money.

I would strongly advise anyone looking to rent to avoid these cowboys. The lady, Endija, who showed us round our house had absolutely no idea about the place, she couldn't tell me anything about the gas/electric, what boiler was in place, she didn't even ...

Comment on agent fees
Bad - the agency fees where around £200 from what I can remember, and I think we got aboslutely nothing for our money, other than the printing of the contract. Also had a very expensive check in and check out cost, as well as a scandolous cleaning fee. Avoid at all costs.

Firstly, I am very sorry to hear about your experience with our London Bridge office. We pride ourselves in providing all our clients with excellent service from start to finish and so to hear this is disappointing. I will be speaking to the individuals concerned and will come back to you once I have investigated the details.
With regards to fees, you should have been presented with a statement of accounts before committing to the offer, which highlights all fees associated with the tenancy. ...

Where to begin? Forced to pay an end of tenancy cleaning fee way in excess of the market rate before I could sign a tenancy agreement. Chasing me for a decision on whether to extend my lease another year 3 months before it ended. Turning up ...

A rip off. Not value for money (from the tenant or landlord side)

Hi Matt,
As a follow up to this, I have found your details now and can see that the Landlord DID instruct us to relet the property, which we have successfully done. I have also seen copies of numerous emails between you and our branch at London Bridge where appointments and timings were confirmed and you acknowledged.
Again very happy to discuss this in detail with you and can confirm that your deposit return was authorised yesterday.
Regards
Andrew ...

- 2 days before moving in, were told that their 'calculation' of the deposit was incorrect and as a result we had to pay an extra £300 to cover their mistake (despite having a formal signed agreement stating the amount we agreed to pay) - as far as ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Could actually work out how much the deposit was before signing an agreement of offer with us. Although I thought that would be a standard. Could not ask everything of us the day before we had to move in with the threat of delaying the move. Could have spelt my name right. Most importantly, can give us back our bloody money.Attached Filesnbsp;
Comment on agent fees
Made us pay ‚£300 extra with no warning, no idea why we paid any form of admin fee given that they couldn't get our names right and couldn't get us a tenancy agreement until the day before we moved. No idea why they got any profit at all from the property sale seeing as the whole experience was a nightmare.

The same happened to us, and they messed up our inventory check list. They are a bunch of amateurs who are rude, incompetent, inexperienced and a complete waste of space and time. ...

Run away from Acorn whilst you can. We had to deal with two major issues which made us realise the lack of professionalism and integrity between these two people in this company. First issue, we were told to pay a professional cleaning fee upfront to ...
