Do not use as a Brooker!!

Used as a Brooker for my first mortgage 6 yrs ago. Used them twice on renewals as a life time member - each time paid £99 admin fee (for pratically nothing) plus broker get over £200 from lender for my application. This year, far more clued up and do not use William H Brown as brooker. They charge you £99 fee for what? (Call it admin fee) plus they get money from the lender. already. Use Mojo (excellent) or go directly to your lender (for rate deals) if you have an existing mortgage already. Cuts out all the unnecessary so-called 'admin fee' or what William H Brown call 'life time member'. Disappointed in William H Brown for taking customers naivety for granted.

Not the best communication, failed to refund money, treated like a second class citizen.

I’m disappointed with my experience with William H Brown during my recent property purchase. At the beginning, I was assured that using their recommended mortgage adviser and conveyancing firm would make everything nice and straightforward. In hindsight, I clearly misunderstood my position in the hierarchy, as i was just treated as a money bag. The main issue was an upfront payment I made for searches. I paid the money to William H Brown with the understanding that it would be passed to Conveyancing Direct. Unfortunately, it seems to have entered some sort of financial Bermuda Triangle. I was later told I would be refunded. Lovely. Except the refund never arrived. Unfortunately, the sale still needed to move forward, so I had to pay Conveyancing Direct directly myself to ensure they could close the transaction. In other words, I had already paid for the searches once, the money had apparently gone missing somewhere between the kingdoms, and I then had to procure more money myself and pay so the sale could actually proceed. After completion, I chased the refund by email several weeks later. No response. So I called three different William H Brown agents on the same day. One told me they no longer dealt with it because the case was closed. Another kindly promised to email me instructions on what to do, which, much like my refund, never arrived. The third promised to call me back. I also found the mortgage adviser’s approach disappointing, as I was repeatedly offered additional packages and insurance products despite making it clear that I only wanted the services necessary to complete the purchase. She also made an offer at lower interest rate but neglected to lock it in. When it was time to sign things off, i found myself with a higher interest rate. The house purchase itself eventually completed, but the handling of my money afterwards has been particularly disappointing. I’m not sure what the official refund procedure is at William H Brown, but apparently it involves patience, multiple phone calls and accepting that once your money enters the building, it might not come out. I would expect much better communication, coordination and accountability, especially when you’ve already had to pay the same cost twice just to get your own property purchase over the line.

I had one of the worst experiences of my life dealing with this letting agency. I have never encountered such unprofessional and unpleasant attitudes throughout my renting history. Maintenance of the property was not handled properly, which made the situation very stressful. Because of this experience, I would not consider renting or buying through William H Brown again. I’m honestly relieved to have moved on from this situation.

Extremely disappointing experience with…

Extremely disappointing experience with William H Brown - Welwyn Garden City I was provided with incorrect service charge information for a property I was seriously considering purchasing. I relied on the figures advertised and proceeded with the purchase process, resulting in legal and conveyancing costs before the discrepancy was identified. What is particularly frustrating is that the incorrect service charge was later acknowledged, yet William H Brown still proceeded to put the property back on the market without correcting the service charge information. Despite acknowledging that the figures were incorrect, they refused to take responsibility for the costs I had incurred. I understand that mistakes can happen, but continuing to advertise a property with incorrect information after the error has been brought to their attention is extremely disappointing and raises serious concerns about the accuracy of the information provided to potential buyers. I would strongly advise anyone purchasing a property through William H Brown to independently verify all service charge and leasehold information before committing to the purchase.

Terrible William H Brown. Has been for years. When you call up to inquire about a property, if anyone answers. They will write down your questions, and fail to call you back with the answers. If I was considering selling a property. William H Brown Boston would be my last choice. If they are not calling back prospective buyers with property infromation, what chance do you have selling your house.

My experience with William H Brown was a nightmare. 1. The pictures of the apartment I wanted to rent was completely different from what was on the website. The apartment was a total let down 2 . I was pressured to make a withholding deposit, which at the time I was not aware that it was non refundable. 3 . Immediately after making the payment, informed the agent that I don’t like the apartment and not sure if I wanted, mind you all of this was on a Saturday, so by Monday morning I called to cancel and requested my deposit back, and that was when the horrific situation began. 4 Both the agents and the landlords are extremely unreliable, the lies they tell. 1 month after am yet to receive my deposit.🫤🫤🫤

PLEASE STEER WELL CLEAR!!

Poor communication, false promises from sales, lettings and mortgage services. Started off great but once they've had your money they don't care about resolving any issues. Don't bother with the lifetime membership as you'll have to do all the work yourself. Don't bother with management services for letting a property either, they won't tell you about any problems and they'll let your tenants damage your property and steal from you without any reconciliation measures or compensation. I sold my flat over a year ago and I'm still battling with them and the Zero Deposit scheme to compensate me for my property being stolen and damage that I paid to fix for the new owner out of my own pocket. PLEASE STEER CLEAR, SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE!!

Katrina has also patience and kind whilst I was getting my references as well as different times of communication because I work night / day shifts. Overall Katrina is fab and william brown ( Boston ) great service all round. Highly recommended.

Ollie Aston flat inspection

This Morning I had Ollie Aston attend my flat for an annual inspection. He was on time as agreed. He took photos for Landlord and was a very pleasant with his customer communication during the visit. I raised a few questions which I hope to hear back. I wish him the success in his employ and rate 5 star service. Overall have dealt with WHB for 6 years always been of a high standard.

I would not trust these people

I would not trust these people, I emailed them to arrange a viewing on a tenanted property, no contact, after a couple of days I called them to arrange a viewing for same property, straight away the sales person tried steering me to another property instead, but I held firm, they said they would get back to me with an appointment, they never did, it’s now sold. They have preferred investors waiting in the background, other sectors would not get away with it.

Dealt solely with Beth who was delightful and always prepared to go the extra mile shame all William H Brown sites aren't the same but as Meatloaf said 2 out of 3 ain't bad. She has had to put up with numerous requests from me all actioned promptly and I can only one time having to chase her and it seems a colleague had omitted to call me, but in a busy office that does happen. Certainly don't want to be looking again for property in the near future but when I do I would certainly go back.

Impeccable Service!

We recently had the pleasure of using William H Brown also known as Sequence as our estate agent during our house purchase, and I cannot speak highly enough of their outstanding service. From the very beginning, Libby our Mortgage Advisor was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs.

No words can describe how I feel after wasting 20 weeks waiting for a viewing. Yes you read that correctly! Not one viewing! Two weeks after WH Brown valued my property, I was advised to reduce the asking price. Because I was not prepared to do this so soon after my property was put on the market, WH Brown did nothing to promote my property, they didn't even get anyone to attend my 'Open Day'! When I gave 28 days notice to end the contract, I was asked why?! What a total waste of 20 weeks!!! Please think twice or maybe 3 times before entering into a contract with this Estate Agent 😳

Poor Customer Service

They rang me on Friday 12th of June and left me a voicemail to call them back to organise viewing a property in Upton that wasn’t clearly listed as being owned by Lomond. I rang them back several times and left voicemails only to be ignored, I then followed up with a second email query also to be ignored. After looking at the property its clearly managed by Lomond, so they have likely liaised with them to blacklist me from renting their properties. This is over one ancient paid off &satisfied CCJ.

Keep pestering me despite house selling months ago

Came to our house for a free valuation before putting it on the market. We went with another agent because we felt William H Brown overvalued our house. We told them as soon as we decided that we wouldn’t be going with them. Since then, they have pretty consistently called me from various offices (local/regional etc) asking to co list with the agent we chose, trying to set up an appt with their in house mortgage advisor, asking if we have found anywhere else, asking how our sale is progressing etc. Our house sold in a week and we had an offer accepted on our new house the following week so we have absolutely no need for any input from William h brown. Yet still, three months later, they call me fortnightly to ask how everything is going, despite me asking them repeatedly to remove my details and any data associated with me. They are dogs with a bone who won’t take no for an answer!

Unprofessional

I dealt with William H brown, Holderness road branch as a tenant. Firstly, they tried to scam me into buying home insurance as an essential requirement of the contract. During the tenancy my landlord was lovely and remained in touch directly, so thankfully I didnt have to deal with them. At the end, I was in huge trouble because WH brown's absolute unprofessionalism. Despite multiple calls and requests they failed to provide references for my next agent. I had no where to go for a week due to this delay. It cost me a fortune! Over a month has lapsed but they have done anything about my deposit. When asked they said to get in touch with the lamdlord directly. Whereas they were the ones processing the deposit collection initially. After sorting it with the landlord myself it was over 2 weeks without any further progress to deposit return. Really a shameful service!! Staff and service all pathetic

Its been 5 years since I moved out of a rented property by William H Brown in St Albans and I have not been refunded my holding deposit. I have contacted them severally over the phone and emails and no luck till date. Nothing but radio silence. First I was told the Landlord would be contacted to claim back the £500 or so left after she dubiously claimed damages on the property. They then later pushed it on me to speak chase the landlord to reach an agreement on obtaining my deposit back. I have used a 2026 date on my review because trustpilot doesnt allow you to go all the way back to 2021.

Kelly White is an absolutely brilliant rental negotiator. I had the pleasure of meeting her, she is such a nice and nice person, very friendly, I felt like I had known her forever, she handled the entire rental process very professionally. I highly recommend it to any potential tenant. Thank you for everything you've done, Kelly.
