We may be in a recession, however, many people are talking themselves into believing that things aren’t going well, when the fact is that there are many plus sides to the lettings market and we continue to look forward to helping our landlords and tenants enjoy these benefits.

Our software will allow landlords to log onto our system and monitor their property’s viewing history. This means our landlords can view their information 24/ 7.

Acorn has grown substantially over the past five years to become a well recognised letting and property management specialist in the Newcastle and surrounding areas. Our levels of service and customer relations mean the company manages properties as far north as Alnwick and Ashington, Hexham and Corbridge to the west and as far south as Sunderland, Durham and Houghton le Spring. A recent survey showed that we were regarded by our customers and clients as offering a high level of value for money and professional advice.

Our growth has been based around three main factors: first and foremost, we have developed our services around the safety of our tenants and the profitability of our landlords; thus demonstrating that we are a responsible organisation dedicated to the highest level of customer service. We endeavour to ensure that our landlords are seen by all as responsible owners who deal with their tenants effectively and professionally.

Secondly, we recognise that being a landlord is often not as easy as it looks! However, it can also be an extremely profitable market place, delivering rental revenue of 5%-10% versus a bank interest rate of ½ of one percent! Most new legislation introduced in the past five years can carry substantial penalties for non compliance. We at Acorn are dedicated to ensuring all our managed properties lead the field in this area. In addition, we recommend strongly to all our tenant find landlords who manage their own properties do the same, in turn helping them improve service to their customers.

Finally, when you instruct an agent to work on your behalf, all legal agreements go in your name not the agents, and they hold money on your behalf . They find you tenants and reference them and hopefully offer you advice on both improvements to your property and of course, most importantly your legal requirements and obligations. By using an accredited agent like Acorn as well as many of our true competitors, you are protecting both your property and the revenue that you generate . We have many examples of where we are proud to say that we have saved our clients many thousands of pounds and gained new landlords as a direct result of this over the past five years.
