Brown & Merry Wendover reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

I cannot praise or recommend Brown and Merry Wendover enough. I have never been one to leave reviews, but I felt incredibly implied to do it in this case. Our fantastic experience began with viewing the house we were purchasing. We viewed the property two times, firstly with Sylvie and secondly with Ruby. Both were absolutely fantastic experiences, and they both did as much to sell the house as the property itself. On both occasions we were handed beautifully presented brochures, which were fantastic additions to the viewing and more than anything, fantastic memoirs for the house we were purchasing. They were knowledgeable, kind and not in anyway overbearing, completely contrasting all other experiences we had had with estate agents. We submitted an offer for the property, which was accepted, and were immediately given all options in relation to conveyancing, processes etc. Once again, a really thought through stage. During our purchase, through no fault of Brown and Merry's, we began having issues with our solicitors. And in particular, issues with an enquiry from our conveyancers. We were advised by them to call Brown and Merry for advice, and upon doing so were passed to Claire. Claire took it upon herself to liaise with us, the sellers, the sellers solicitor, our solicitor etc. to assist in organising a resolution that would allow exchange and completion. She chased everyone almost everyday, updating us throughout and creating communication between both sides where there never was before due to incompetent solicitors. We had a point of contact for which nothing was too much to help with, and the purest example of someone going above and beyond where they were in no way obligated to. I truly believe without Claire's assistance, we would not be at the exchange stage we are now. Thank you Claire. In summary, if you are thinking of buying or selling through Brown and Merry, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone better.

I have been fortunate to have Gary fighting a delay on my sale. He has been relentless at cracking the problem and keeping my agent updated. When I finally got to say thank you he was really modest about his skills and took praise for the team rather than himself.Thank you Gary

We bought through Brown and Merry-…

We bought through Brown and Merry- longest house purchase timeframe ever (19 months) due to broken chains and other issues. Brown and Merry were highly professional and supportive throughout the challenging process. Edward was encouraging and helpful every time we spoke and kept in constant contact- even with congratulatory phone calls on exchange on contracts. The best high street estate agent I have worked with- and I’ve known a few.

Brown&Merry Sale

I recently sold my property in Berkhamsted and my estate agent Brown&Merry were extremely professional and highly efficient. Special mention to Lucy who oversaw our listing and made the whole experience smooth sailing and a pleasure to work with. I can highly recommend Brown&Merry and would definitely use them again in the future.

Massively inflated estimate and other tricks

Massively inflated estimate that they wanted to "review" after 2 weeks into the listing, once the 6 months sole agency kicked in. The long list of ready buyers' contact details that the agent showed in the estimation meeting never trickled down to their list of introduced persons, so beware of that tactic too and don't waste your time with them.

Arranged a valuation of a rental property I am looking to sell in Bletchley for 2pm on 22/06/26 with Peter Flanders who didn’t show up and got zero response from the message I left with the office. Only communication was from an agent in the office who told me he had people interested in a house like mine…..amazing because they didn’t view it.

We contacted brown & merry through…

We contacted brown & merry through there wendover branch based in buckinghamshire. They arranged a viewing very polite and knowledgeable lady. Property was lovely just what we wanted. Then they informed us it was being sold through an auction by Iam sold.This is where the problems started. Having never purchased a property by auction before they put me in contact with iam sold who agreed a price with the seller I then put down a non refundable deposit which was a massive mistake. Unfortunately the sale could not be completed because of problems with the lease and we lost our deposit. I must add I done all my research and had a mortgage agreed in principle. So although it’s not all brown & meets fault. They should not deal with this dodgy auction company and any who gets advice to by property through an auction site please take my advice and go through normal channels.

Overvalued and little contact

Over valued and little contact.So much contact to get us to sell with them, as soon as we listed the house with them I received loads of marketing calls trying to get us to upgrade the marketing package. They encouraged us often to drop the price they valued it at. I really believe they give you a great listing price but then always encourage clients to reduce. If you look on rightmove you’ll see lots of there listings reduced. Sarah branch manger French promised calls back but never did. Alex was the only person in branch that was helpful. I also went with the solicited they recommended and they were also awful, slow and never communicated with us.

We recently bought a house through Brown & Merry. They were absolutely amazing. The staff are all lovely, they responded quickly and efficiently to any of our requests and really made every effort to go above and beyond the duties of an estate agent. We had such a stress free purchase with them and I think that was down to their dedication & commitment to delivering a professional service to both vendor and purchaser. Their welcome back is a lovely thoughtful touch too, especially after a long day moving in, we were at least able to have a cup of tea!!

Great Sales Pitch, Very Poor Execution

Chose to go with Brown & Merry after a great buying experience years ago. Unfortunately appears times have changed! The initial consultation regarding the sale of our property was excellent, but unfortunately the experience declined significantly after we signed the contract.

I gave them my number.. Big Mistake.

I asked for an evaluation.. this was fine.. no problems.. but I chose a different agent and now 4 months later they still regularly phone me up, once even saying "hello , this is your estate agent".. errr NO... they are abusing the fact that I gave them my number and now I cannot get rid of them.. Wish I had never done so. I am now apart of their ' any phone call is work' policy. B&M are owned by connels and the BBC has a page about their dubious sales tactics. They have a tv show about it also.

Zak Parkinson from the Watford branch was excellent, he was super responsive, helpful and insightful when helping us with our urgent letting situation. Although we didn’t land up taking the property he maintained professional throughput.

Be careful with this agency…the agents are asking for part of deposit to “check your references “and they will tell you that you don’t pass and you will lose the money .They don’t provide you with information about the rejection which I find normal to have because you pay for them.Agent name that I deal is Eliot…very kind but also very sharp when you ask about explanations

Useless marketing skills

Despite their friendly and professional appearance, this company (Wendover branch) have proved to be all but incompetent in marketing our family home. Having redecorated the whole house to improve our sale potential, B & M failed to take any fresh photos of the house for 3 weeks! They then bungled the renewed photo set by mixing the previous photos with the new ones, making it visually a dogs dinner. Lastly the quality of the photographs was extremely poor - not highlighting any good features, not close enough, pictures of a floor, or focussing on a bed. Absolutely useless.

This the second time I have used Brown and Merry once with the sale of my mothers house and most recently with the sale of my flat. The Wendover branch Claire Raven in particular have been great. They found me a buyer within 2 weeks and helped through a quite lengthy process of issues with the lease. Thank you to the team so glad we got there in the end. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Sylvie is brilliant! Not only did she help pursuade my husband that the apartment we were viewing was absolutely perfect for us to downsize to, but her wise words also convinced my daughter and her friend to take the first scary leap into flat ownership at the other end of the property owning journey. And all this in such a fast moving market. Thank you. Here's to a summer of all achieving our plans 😊🌞 with Sylvie and Claire's able assistance.

We recently sold our house through Brown and Merry in Wendover and have been thrilled with the service we received. Sylvie, Nick, Claire and Loren supported us through a very stressful process and were professional and efficient, guiding us through every step. We are very grateful for everything they’ve done for us and highly recommend anyone to sell or buy their homes through Brown and Merry in Wendover. Thank you, George Burke.

Absolute mess of a company

Absolute mess of a company ! Tried to view a house - they said they didn’t have the keys and would phone back when they had them . Never phoned back and although we repeatedly asked for an update was told nothing . House was then sold without any communication with us . When I eventually spoke to the branch manager he was very rude and abrupt and continually talked over me . Think twice about selling your house with them as this seller could have possibly had a higher offer !!

Brazen & Uncooth

I just received call from them regarding my property that is on the market, the "young adult" that called me told me my photos are terrible and the marketing is really bad. when asked why, there of course, wasn't much of an answer. I just find this totally brazen and un-cooth to put down small independent agencies with no substance behind your claims that "your marketing is better" when it quite frankly, is definitely not.

Unethical / possibly illegal practice

Awful from start to finish. I was interested in a property they had listed. They were not actually selling it, it was being sold by an auction house instead. I decided to go with Brown & Merry after being told that that the seller would consider taking it off the market before the sale. The auction house later told me that they would not do this.After the property was sold it was hard to find out if the property was sold or not. I had to find out from the auction house (who were actually really helpful and honest). To this date (nearly 2 months later) B&M still have the house listed for sale (clickbait). Unethical maybe illegal?

Very poor experience in trying to arrange a valuation. The Berkhamstead office didn’t take my contact details and then didn’t show, even though I phoned the day before travelling and also called into their high street office ahead of the supposedly arranged viewing. Also, the lady I spoke to in person in Berkhamsted was dismissive and rude. This agent can’t get the basics right! Such as shame as I had a fantastic rental experience a few years previous with the same agency! I think there are better, more proactive online and high street agents to choose from.
