The Acorn Group Valuation Process
Thinking of selling your commercial property, investment or development site? Our agents will be delighted to provide you with a free property valuation and help you in any other way to achieve the best possible results for your property. You can fill out the form at the top of this page to arrange a free valuation quickly and efficiently giving you the answer to the question “how much is my property worth?”. One of our experienced team will be in touch shortly.
Our market appraisal of your property is based around a combination of experience, a thorough understanding of the local property market and the value of comparable nearby property which we have recently sold/let.
Once formally instructed, we will agree a targeted marketing strategy with you. We’ll also discuss any necessary bespoke marketing including professional photography, floorplans and virtual tours.
High quality interactive particulars are prepared and uploaded to our website along with other specialist portals. Details are circulated throughout our database of 15,000+ professional contacts and active purchasers/tenants in the area are personally contacted by our team.
We accompany potential buyers/tenants around your property by appointment only. After every viewing, we relay their feedback to you – an essential part of the process.
We will inform you of all offers, both verbally and in writing, along with our recommendations.
Once an offer is accepted, we liaise with solicitors from both parties, to progress the sale/lease towards an exchange of contracts.
Once completed, the keys to the property will be ready to be collected!

We have offices in London Bridge & Bromley, and therefore tend to focus on business within SE London and North Kent. For investment or development business, or for freehold sales we often travel further afield though. Please contact our team on 020 7089 6555 (London) or 020 8315 5454 (Kent) – our staff will be more than happy to confirm if we are the best people for the job.
Most UK commercial properties have their use defined by a local authority that has jurisdiction over them. This allows local town and country planners to ensure that their plans for a property or an area can actually happen.
Our class order guide will show you which is the correct one for your business. Some landlords will consider an offer subject to a change of use, but uses such as A3, A4 & A5 often prove contentious. If you are looking to open a restaurant, bar or takeaway you would be well-advised to look for a property with the requisite use already in place.
Yes, certainly. We work closely with several firms of solicitors and recommend all manner of consultants with expertise in planning, architecture, flood risk, ground conditions, rights to light and much more. If you want to be put in the right direction please call us on 020 7089 6555 (London) or 020 8315 5454 (Kent) to discuss in more detail.
Yes, subject to status and valuation. We can put you in touch with a broker who is able to provide commercial or bridging finance. Start Financial Services are part of The Acorn Group, and have access to deals and rates not available in many other places.
Yes, we can recommend a team of specialists to assist you in making a planning application, alongside which we’ll offer advice to ensure that the scheme generates the best possible residual land value.

Our Commercial & Development Division was established in 1999, and does exactly as the name suggests. We only handle commercial and development transactions (plus plenty of investment deals). We don’t sell residential property – we have 39 residential branches for that! We’re an entirely transactional business, so we only get paid when a deal gets done. We don’t list properties for fun, and will only take instructions that we’re very confident we can sell. Call us on 020 7089 6555 (London) or 020 8315 5454 (Kent) – we’ll happily tell you if we’re the right firm to appoint, and if we’re not, we’ll recommend someone else.
