Bought a flat in Doncaster to live in…

Bought a flat in Doncaster to live in from a marriage break up these in Doncaster started managing the rent from the flat owner above me. Promised me they would get good renters told me if I need to complain get in touch ASAP. Well I've been in touch as the renters are a foreign couple banging while 4am.what was their reply.. As expected we can't do anything get the council in. Yet again superceded by the influx of foreigners into this country. Live and work all my life now this. Tell you anything to shut you up. Next steps I'll have to do myself. All smoke and mirrors. Use another company...

North walsham branch TERRIBLE

Awful! Been waiting for our deposit to be returned to us for 3 months now. North walsham branch lettings dealt with shockingly. All we’ve had is different excuses, we can’t get hold of landlord, we’ve lost details etc. But no one makes contact with you unless you chase it? Angry is an understatement!

Not trustworthy …

We applied to this company about a property we wanted to rent the day after it was advertised, when we finally got through to the office, they said they weren't arranging viewings at that time but they would keep us informed, the next day, this property was unlisted.We phoned the office and asked why and they said somebody had agreed to rent without viewing, how convenient!!!

If I could I wouldn't even give them…

If I could I wouldn't even give them any stars, I am a tennant from spalding branch and we have had problems after problems and takes ages for it to be "sorted" they send cowboy builders out that can't even do the job properly and the guy still hasn't gave us our money back, me my partner and our 3 year old son are currently sleeping in the living room as we can't even sleep in our own bedroom because of mould and damp, this started around the same time as last year. It is so cold we are using more heating then we should be, they say we are always waiting for the contractors to get back to them which can take weeks/months with no updat or no communication.

This company is absolutely hopeless

This company is absolutely hopeless. Unprofessional is an understatement. Chasing them for well over 3weeks to get back my tenancy deposit back and no one seem to be able to tell me when I can get my money back. I wish there was something less than one star.

Totally poor

Totally poor, left me over 3 months without universal credit. Needed a letter with priof of what rent i was paying yet repeatedly fobbed off and lied to, when they finally did after 2 and a half months, the amount was incorrect, then the 2nd attempt was the first with the correct amount written on a post it note stuck on top of the incorrect amount. Took the local councils intervention to get a correct one. Totally unprofessional .

Don't use them to "manage" your rental!

In August I decided to rent out my house. I was very nervous about the whole process as it was my first time and had 0 knowledge of what I needed to know as a landlord, so I decided the best road to take is to use an estate agent and pay them for the full management service...WRONG! I have had to chase the estate agents to sort out issues as I want to make sure my tenant is happy and looked after. I have been chasing since September and still not resolved. Their communication is poor and frankly I am disappointed in how once the contract is signed and you're paying their money, you don't hear anything from them...My tenant are also feeling the same way. Waste of money Don't do it!!

Massive thanks to Harry Hicks!My girlfriend and I were looking for a rental in colchester he showed my girlfriend the house and then was nice enough to wait for me to finish work 15 mins later so I could see it. Really refreshing to see him go the extra mile. Would happily use again, top work.

To be very honest If I could I would…

To be very honest If I could I would give 0 stars.What an absolutely appalling service. I would never ever use this agent ever. I can only review as a buyer and not using their services myself as a seller but I honestly cannot believe the service or lack of service this agency has. They lied to me and my sales progressor and the whole chain involved for 8 months about a property we were purchasing. Telling us on exchange day that the house we were buying were actually still trying to get rid of tennants from the house their vendors were purchasing, Honestly awful service and Cliff ( office manager) has no people skills whatsoever he shared no empathy or compassion and just generally a real crap service. I have no idea how he got to that level of the business. When we did finally have to pull out of the sale I had zero contact from cliff. The only way I knew that cliff got my message was because I saw the house we had been buying for 6 months go back live onto rightmove. We experienced a completely different service from Haarts who are their local competitor and who would win my business over theirs every day of the week. Avoid.

DO NOT HIRE WILLIAM BROWN IN DONCASTER

Hired to fully manage property. They are owned by a company called (sequence) who keep changing their name. Never did checks, left property in horrific state. unfit, unproffesional and should be removed without delay from all estate agent registers and have licences to practice removed. Reported to Ombudsman and watchdog as rogue traders. they will ruin your property, put in unsuitable tenants, unable to pay the rent, and not carry out checks. They dont do any work. A lot of they will do....turns out to be they dont do! Name and shame estate agents such as these about time the bad was weeded out of this unqualified proffession, there is site for this to warn others. stay well away from william brown in Doncaster, not fit to do any estate work, It shows that they dont need any qualifications to do this job, thats why you get bad and boy are they bad and very disrespectful in everyway. Hire at your absolute peril!

AVOID AVOID AVOID

AVOID AVOID AVOIDWould give minus stars if I could!I foolishly gave our business to sell our property to the Mexborough branch. The only thing they’re interested in is asking you to reduce your price so they get the sale, the first request to do this came after 2 weeks on the market! The property was not overpriced. They won’t reduce their fees!I put in a complaint about their service when they hadn’t changed the description as I’d asked over the phone - they were too busy talking about price reduction! ( I even had to suggest new photos of the garden be taken ‘in bloom’ and had to take them myself). The reply I got from the Regional Manager had spelling errors and bad grammar. Sloppy!I was told someone from the Branch would get in touch to resolve matters. I heard nothing. Even when the complaint was ‘escalated’ to another department i heard nothing from the Branch and they still refused to release me from their 20 week contract, even a week early.The red flags are there 1) They don’t reply to any feedback on here, good or bad. 2) They don’t record their telephone calls for training or monitoring like all other reputable companies do. That way their staff can lie about what they said and deny what you said.I honestly have never dealt with such an unprofessional and dishonest company. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

Dishonest and Cheats

What a complete bunch of thieves and…What a complete bunch of thieves and totally dishonest not to be trusted if you are renting from them.I rented a bungalow from them, and they asked me if I could leave early as ​they had another tennant. I agreed I would do what I could and moved out 4 days early. Now refusing the refund.Also claiming £750 in damages claiming damages that were in place when i moved in and after i spent a considerable amount of time and money improving the property. Gutted !!

The worst letting agents ever

This is probably the worst letting agents I have ever used. They take your money and don't do anything. They put in tenants with no money. You have to chase up constantly. You have to deal with the tenant if you want something done. Basically you have to do it all. They will charge you for every little thing. The agents don't know anything when u call up. The staff turnover is high and so you never have the same person helping you. I would avoid at all cost. They still owe me money and don't ever communicate. They are seriously the worst agents I have ever worked with. Get this, the tenant cost me £8,500 and counting of damages.

Terrible Service

Terrible Service. I havent had someone speak to me so rudely and unprofessionally over the phone before. Stay clear from this agency, they treat customers like criminals. You do not build a reputable business like this. Plenty of other agencies to choose from. I though I had a booking today and rang the doorbell. The agency called me back like I was a criminal over a simple mistake a pizza delivery man can make, escalating things way out of hand, what a show that was. I had a booking for a property tomorrow with them, CANCELLED. Save the time. I also raised a complaint to Their Complaints department as this is unacceptable for a business. Also, their website shows Feefo feedbacks but these are only for people with an existing contract with them, if you had a terrible experience before you rent thier properties, it can't be added there. Classic.

Unprofessional. They breached the code of conduct and duty of care to me.

Unprofessional. Amongst other errors such as false valuations not based on comparable properties or data, WH Brown reduced the price of our property listing ‘without’ permission. Very unapologetic about their mistakes. These errors affected the perceived value of our property resulting in below market rate offer. I would NOT recommend.Their complaints process and upper management were very unwilling to help come to a solution, they were very unhelpful and rude, often aggresively talking to me with a raised voice. Avoid them!

I have experienced very poor customer…

I have experienced very poor customer service from W. H. Brown Stevenage office. (The issue is ongoing)Me and my husband have rented a property via W. H. Brown Stevenage office in Ickleford area. After a year we purchased our own property and gave notice to our landlord.We are in good terms with our landlord and have been in touch as neighbours.After our notice, we had written confirmation from our landlord that we would leave the property on a certain date. We contacted W.H.Brown and stated that our landlord agreed this date and has sent the office an email in addition to this.They said they will talk to our landlord and calculate amount due to pay accordingly. However the firm hasn’t got back to us with the amount for us to pay on time, therefore our bank has sent the full amount of the rent as we had a standing order.We have contacted the estate agent several times to send our money back but have been told this would happen ‘next week’. It has been almost a month and now that we have left the property, moved in our new place and still not paid the amount back.In addition to this it has been 17 days since we left the property and our landlord confirmed the deposit should be returned in full.However neither our deposit nor the overpaid rent bas been returned to us.We have been calling the office and Steve (the agent responsible) is always out and we are left with no explanation by the firm.I filled a complaint and looking to hear back.This has affected our finances. Especially when you have a new house mortgage to pay and all the other expenses this firm has caused us a big amount of unnecessary stress.

Were not clear and transparent about the 14 Day cooling off period. Verbally told we could cancel but this is not so. When we informed them we had changed our minds we were told ok. However then informed we could not sell with another agent because we had signed contract. Also did not ask us about sole agency just filled this part of contract in themselves. Agents are not honest. Would rather not sell house than let this agency act for us. Would definitely not recommend as you cannot trust them to act in your best interests.
