Poor service, enquired about a valuation for a property I will be selling early in November and getting it carried out on a Saturday prior, promised a call back to arrange. No call back, clearly don't need the business.

This is the second time we have used William H Brown and have found them more than helpful and professional. Would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking for an Estate Agent. Special thanks to Jackie for all her hard work.

Molly has been absolutely amazing! Very patient and professional. She has been with me through each step until I got the property during a very stressful time for me and my husband. I had to call her several times for every single detail and she has been lovely each time. Thank you so much.

Absolutely shocking customer service

Absolutely shocking the way they treat customers.The initial meeting was good, but the minute you sign on the dotted line for them to sell your property, it all goes downhill from there.Three times I had to tell them I didn't want accompanied viewings (I worked in new homes for 14 years, so I think I know how to sell a house!) and someone would "be on their way"!!!!I felt that the staff were patronising, and couldn't really be bothered.In the end I changed agents to get a better service (of which I did) but in the end one of the original viewers made an offer, so we were reverted back to WHB.The sales chasing was hit and miss, even our solicitor said he didn't know who was representing us for the first few weeks!!The straw that broke the camels back was the email I received a week before we completed from Amanda, to say that they had referred us to the debt collection part of WHB and they wanted us to pay ASAP! I rang and asked the member of staff to get Amanda to ring me as we had not yet completed on the sale!!!!No one ever called, not to apologise for their mistake, but also to tell us we had completed!Discusting way to treat customers. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

We have to thank Jack and team at the Stevenage branch of W H Brown. Jack gave us a valuation and the house sold within 2 weeks. Every question we had was answered promptly and professionally. We would highly recommend W H Brown and would definately use their services again.

Charly and Molly were very helpful finding us a rental property that we liked. They worked hard to achieve this for us as timings were tight. They managed the online and phone administration very promptly. Pleased with this service thank you

It was a real team effort from William H Brown to see our house through to completion with challenging buyers. Special thanks to Jackie Blakemore, but really all the team for all the phone calls, messages, patience and maintaining a sense of humour through it all. All the perseverance paid off! Recommended service!

Very poor service from the Scunthorpe branch, I was convinced to sell (or attempt to) my property through the modern auction process, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE, the communication and feedback from the auction team and the Scunthorpe WHB team was diabolical, after 4 months I gave up with them, even then they did not acknowledge my email or offer any form of apology for the poor service.

From rising damp to black mould

From rising damp to black mould, their response was to clean the gutters and that was it. Needless to say it returned every few months. We had no boiler for the last 3 months from December to April, in a house that the back windows are single glazed. We was provided 1 small heater to heat the whole house and given £100 rent reduction for this which is absolutely disgusting. Apart from Tom staff are argumentative and sarcastic. All round bad experience.

A massive thank you to everybody William H Brown, especially Whitney, for all their hard work and dedication in helping me sell my house. The process would have been far more stressful without their support. Thank you so so much!

Disappointed in Holderness Road Hull Branch

My daughter purchased a property through the Holderness Road Hull Office, although staff were initially very helpful, Charlotte became very rude to me because I didn’t want to use their solicitor they recommended, they were going to charge £1200 + for the conveyancing. It is obvious she was going to get a commission from it and when I quoted other solicitor prices she became defensive, got very angry and told me to stop talking and listen to her, when I said, don’t talk to me like that she put the phoned down on me. Totally unprofessional. They also blamed our new solicitor for holding things up, admittedly they were very slow but the sellers solicitor had only sent part of a document our solicitor requested, but WH Browns staff didn’t want to know about this. They kept saying the seller was angry and frustrated at the delay but if her solicitor had sent the full document in the first place it may have progressed quicker. All in all I would not recommend WH Browns.

The vendor has lost many thousands

Viewed a property, offered asking price, advised that there were 2 other offers, we were prepared to offer more. Vendor wanted time to consider offers. We were then told that they had accepted another offer. We were not given the option to make another offer. Then I received a copy of the email to the buyers whose offer had been accepted - a very unacceptable and unprofessional mistake. There seems to have been no duty of care to the vendor to obtain a better price.

Well done to the team at Crystal Peaks

Well done to the team at Crystal Peaks. From initial valuation to final sale, all members of the team were very professional and proactive when dealing with our queries. All of them were extremely approachable and very friendly - even when coping with the Covid restrictions. Special thanks to Beth and Maisie for their help in securing the sale.Kind regardsChristine and Steve

AVOID! Bullies! Run by children

Worst Company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with . Run by a load of teens - 20 something jumped up little wannabes who think they are better than everyone because they work in sales. The pushiness of these wannabes is ridiculous I work in sales and I understand commission but if someone says 'no' they have said no , no need to ask me 6 MORE TIMES ! THE ANSWER IS STILL NO ! Funny they didn't do this to my husband , so because I'm a woman you think you can bully me into say yes !! Wrong woman to try and do that do as they found out! Threating bully teenager run , and any questions you got about the property I hope you don't want answers unless you want 'I'm not sure' 'ill get back to you on that' 'tbh I've not been in this industry long' JOKE OF A COMPANY !!!!!Hire people with experience not children Who don't understand the word noAvoid!!

Excellent advice and support from day 1 to completion. Lee Dillon and Ash Moakes were outstanding. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They gave the highest valuation which was also achieved of three estate agents we asked to appraise the property.

Good and not so good

On the plus side, in the early days mid-2023, WHB got the ball rolling quickly and I felt confident I'd picked a decent estate agent. They supplied viewings a matter of days after my house was listed for sale, often two or three a week, though this tailed off as the year went by. I eventually sold my house in 2024 after asking WHB to reduce the asking price they'd recommended. The flip side of my experience is that, apart from marketing the property, I'm not sure what they brought to the party to warrant their high fee. I had to lead all the viewings as the staff they sent to accompany prospective buyers were very pleasant but, understandably, didn't know my house and therefore couldn't do much to enthuse buyers or answer any factual questions about it. I received very little feedback from WHB about the comments of the people who had viewed my property; I felt feedback from them would have been very useful. Also, WHB told me about what was said to be an unhelpful attitude of two buyers who were keen to sell their own house through WHB and buy mine. This conflicted with what the buyers told me. That concerned me as the buyers in question came across as straight and down to earth people. Why the different versions of events? Then, when it came to finding me a short-term rental property, a key piece of information I needed wasn't shared with me. When I queried this, WHB argued it was something I would be expected to know. Isn't it the estate agent's job to ensure their clients are fully informed? I emailed WHB and requested evidence that this information had been shared with me but no response was forthcoming to show they were right. Anyway, I've given three stars as, having spoken to friends about their own house moving experiences, I reckon WHB are little different from many other estate agents - a mix of good and not so good. Selling through WHB wasn't an awful experience for me at all, though it wasn't great either.

Used Jassy to get my first mortgage and couldn’t recommend more. Really friendly and got a significantly cheaper rate than going directly to my bank. Thanks a lot Jassy

Today, on 18 September 2025, I had a booking with them. I drove 45 minutes, but no one showed up. After waiting 15 minutes, I called them, and they told me the agent had another booking. They are not serious.
