Viewing properties

I have rung up William h brown numerous times in the last month to try and view 2 different properties. Each time I rang the agent took my details and assured me that someone would call me back to book my viewing. Over two weeks later and I've had no phone call. I won't be buying a house through William H Brown that is for sure.

Very poor service and communication

Very poor service and communication. - Would always promise to ring back and let us know. Never did. - Did not research the vendors properly, meaning we spent £1500 for no reason. - No communication. - Often gave erroneous excuses for things that were not ever plausible. - Spoke with management team who ignored my e-mails. With the number of estate agents on offer, I would strongly advise going elsewhere.

Brilliant service from Ryan, Elliott and the team. Correspondence throughout the selling and buying process was fantastic. I would highly recommend using this agent.

Listen to your customers and be more transparent

This company is being seriously damaged by a deceptive head office department which masks their phone calls with a randomly generated local phone number so you pick up the phone. They are verging on pushy and do not encourage business in any shape or form. It is so unfortunate especially as the local team are so very helpful and more than capable of managing their business. AVOID.

Stevenage branch

Stevenage branch Buyers and sellers stay away from this branch as the so called area sales manger does not represent buyers and sellers in any honest way !

Avoid. Greedy, pushy and unhelpful.

Tried to rush things through at the end before things were ready as clearly wanted their commission, seemed to make things up, tried to force a mortgage appointment upon us when we said we were sorted to the point they booked us in after we had said no many times and despite numerous times politely asking never came and collected our sold sign after moving in. Recommend going with smaller more genuine companies.

After talking to Arron on the phone who gave me some great advice on selling my house and different options open to me, I would definately recommend W H Brown to anyone wanting to sell or buy a new home!

Friendly and speedy process

Steve and Courtney from the Stevenage branch have been actual lifesavers. Their continued patience and willingness to help has made a very daunting and stressful move all the more worth it for me. Nothing but praise for this team, they're wonderful!

Through a long, drawn out process (not of their making) Lisa, Elliott and Ryan at the Halstead branch were very helpful and professional. We would definitely recommend William H Brown to sell your home

Regretted signing the contract. Beware!

Signed up to sell house with William H Brown and regretted it. For some reason the Branch i was dealing with took it upon themselves to string me along for 6 months. In short, the property never went 'live'. No For Sale sign, no photo's online. I got the impression they worked in their own bubble, and took on the business to possibly stop me going elsewhere. Beware!

Awful

Awful. Was interested in a property marketed by this company and got myself booked into a viewing. The person who showed me around the property had quite clearly just memorised the fact-sheet (which anyone could have done) and could not respond to simple questions. He was more interested in making sure his car did not get ticketed than showing me around the house.Why would anyone use these people as selling agents? Absolutely add no real value.

They viewed my property to rent

They viewed my property to rent, then changed energy suppliers without my knowledge or agreement. I only found this out after I had rejected their services. I was told that they were in partnership with 'Smart' energy, and it was in the contract (which was never accepted or signed)BEWARE! There are a lot of hidden charges in contract which are generally inclusive with other agents.Read - check - read again, before giving instructions!

Staffs of William H Brown (a division of Sequence Ltd) are full of bullies and harassers with no sense of good customer's value. Thye breached my confidentiality which had caused me and my family serious emotional distress but when I raised compalint, everyone began denying claiming that it wasn't them and niot investigation has been provided to support that it was actually investigated, no interview had been granted in person. Too bad.

It's like dealing with 2nd hand car sales, all promises, pressures and disappearing acts.Avoid these..... there are far more open and communicative estate agents out there.

Rude office staff

Rude office staff, close early with no notification. No call backs, agent showing property had zero interest or knowledge in the property. Waste of time! I viewed a house at 1645 and tried to call the office to put in a offer at 17:05. The Office stated on their website and on the voice mail there were open until 18:00.

Made and enquiry as a buy to let property investor on Wednesday. I am still waiting to hear back. Check out the board/management team. There are 11 members listed. However they are all 100% male. You dont need to know any more about how this business thinks and operates. I guess that is reflected it its TP scores. Although they are an estate agency what do you expect!
