GoogleLinda’s expertise and wisdom is unmatched. Selling a home we love to relocate nearer to family is a bittersweet decision but Linda’s calm and measured advice has definitely smoothed the process. We are very grateful for her going the extra mile for us, a true fairy god mother of property!

GoogleThank you Matthew! We have been placing our property on the market for a few years with different agents, you have been excellent right from the beginning, have been on the ball with everything and communicated very well throughout by mails WhatsApp and by phone.. Lack of communication can be really frustrating. When we spoke to you, we felt confident that you would find us a suitable tenant which you did in a quick timeframe and they have already moved. We are so grateful, as securing tenants means a big pressure has been lifted from us and we can only praise your professionalism and friendly approach from start to finish. Thank you.

GoogleOur initial house sale fell through after 12 weeks just before exchange, Sarah went above & beyond (working evenings & weekends) to secure another sale within 2 weeks. This ensured we didn’t lose the house we had fallen in love with. We have finally exchanged contracts and cannot thank Sarah enough for everything she did. She is an asset to Brown & Merry LB and we would highly recommend her to anyone with a property to sell (-: thank you

GoogleIf ever Fawlty Towers were based in an Estate Agency, Brown and Merry, Leighton Buzzard would be the perfect fit. There is no internal communication. Customer service of any standard simply does not exist. Like rot through a tree trunk there is a seam of flippant, nonchalant and surly characteristics present.
They promised the world at 1% + Vat but when it did not translate into any viewings in the first two weeks, you are dispatched, dismissed and dropped like the proverbial stone.
Their website is a complete fabrication, keep us up to date ? We were not contacted for six weeks {then only for a viewing}although during this time a manager put his business card through our door that read “demand is high in this area please call us now”
We were already for sale with them !! and if demand is high why did we not have a viewing ? Communication ?. Complete incompetence. Shambolic.
So, if you require a professional, caring, competent Estate Agent.

GoogleA reliable, honest and trustworthy mortgage advisor Alex Clifford..
We recently purchased house with using Alex Clifford services as a mortgage advisor. We didn’t know Alex but decided to meet him for a chat after suggestion from an estate agent. In our interactions with Alex, we found him extremely honest, transparent and clear in his communication. He provided us valuable advice in not only choosing a good mortgage deal but also gave us crucial guidance at different stages of house purchase. He was very patient with our queries and was always gave us time to discuss them in detail. We will highly recommend Alex for anyone who is looking for a good, reliable and honest mortgage advisor.

GoogleI just popped into the office in Leighton Buzzard to enquire about renting a property and ask some general questions. I spoke to Tayla who was incredibly helpful and cooperative. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks she will be able to help me find a one or two bed property in the Leighton Buzzard area to move in in August.

GoogleWe have just bought and sold through Brown and Merry and they have made one of the most stressful parts of our lives that little bit easier. We dealt with everyone in the team at some point and all we're helpful but Becky definitely stands out as a A* estate agent, a fantastically helpful, knowledgeable and friendly lady who made it so much more stress free....answered all of the questions i asked, and there were a LOT :)
Thank you Becky and the rest of the team at Brown and Merry for helping us find our forever home for our family.
Thank you.

GoogleAppalling Customer Service. When we decided to sell our property we where so impressed but the surveyor that came out to value, also the photographer. We've recivied one phone call in months from the office, sadly we've had one viewing which is disappointing but the lack of communication from the office has been zero. Beware before appointing this company to sell your property. We emailed to give termination notice and we got a sharp reply saying we've been given 28 days, that's the quickest response in months.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

Many thanks for all your help Sarah, you are a great asset and ambassador for Brown and Merry.

GoogleTwice now I've been dealing with B&M, with 2 different branch. First one was really pressuring me to get their solicitor and exchange date while solicitor didn't complete everything but I thought ok maybe it's down to the person, not the actual company.
2nd branch (Leighton Buzzard), I felt like I needed to chase the agent a lot, they said they'll call me back but rarely it was done, I was the one to call them back. We've made an offer, no feedback if it was accepted or not, it took quite a while to get it accepted and the next morning being told that actually the vendor changed their mind. Being told they don't want to move out anymore but property is still marked as sold on their website and another agency told us they did sell indeed to someone (not us obviously). Why lying and not just said they accepted someone else's offer? We confronted the agent and she stuck with "no they didn't sell". Seriously? Very disappointing how it's being done. Don't even get me started with their mortgage adviser who has been absolutely rude to me and patronising.
Avoid if possible!!
Edit: I tried to send an email after they replied to my review but email is bouncing back...

GoogleDo not follow correct procedures which if you are a landlord come and bite you when the tenant leaves.
They then blame it on staff members who have left. They have a very high turn around for staff therefore zero accountability.
If you use these guys make sure you have everything in writing that way you will have a successful complaint against them with the ombudsman.
Told them not to call me again, yet every few months keep asking me if I have property to rent. Will be reporting to information commission for breach of new GDPR laws .
Edit - Still getting call from these people 3months on !

of our viewings and had to call them again and again to be told we will get a call back and they never botherd. We would never use again or reccomend them, save yourself the grief and choose another agent. Very disappointed.
