TrustpilotBrilliant service
We recently sold our house with William H Brown. Really helpful and professional. Great service and help from Matthew, who valued our house. Kept us informed and had lots of viewings. Unfortunately we couldn't proceed as we couldn't find a property to buy in these crazy times. They were very understanding, therefore we would definitely use them again.Thank you very much.

TrustpilotDON’T TOUCH
I do not advise anyone to use this company. Communication is appalling, they did not notify me of viewings or give me feedback. They told me there were no viewings and encouraged me to drop the price. I agreed to this and later found that there had been viewings. I didn’t feel they were working in my best interest and had nothing but problems with them from the onset.

TrustpilotWH Brown - a disgrace of a company!
As a landlord currently stuck in a management agreement with WH Brown, I’ll simply say this - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Every single month there seems to be a little trick here or there to try and rip me or my tenant off. One more attempt and I think i’ll be reporting them to the ombudsman - if I could leave a 0 score, I happily would.

TrustpilotAvoid - Seem to have no intention of clearing owed balance
Have spent several months chasing a payment that was owed from Sequence. Despite regular emails and assurances the amount would be paid it seems clear they have no intention of paying back what is owed.Avoid

TrustpilotThe WORST letting agents
The WORST letting agents I have ever dealt with. Always having to chase things up with them to find out they haven’t done what they said they would. Left us without heating or hot water for 2 months!! Took months to get our deposit back and eventually had to go to the TDS. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

TrustpilotDisgraceful
Disgraceful. Unprofessional. Incompetent. I made an enquiry relating to a house for sale, hoping for help and information. They lost my details and when I later called the office to enquire if they had carried out my request the person I spoke to was rude, arrogant and generally unhelpful. It also sounded as though a party was going on in the background. Never again!

TrustpilotBent As A 9 Bob Note
Rude, aggressive and intrusive tactics. Put an offer in for a property, only to never be contacted with regards to whether our offer was accepted or not. Presumably, our offer was never even put forward to the vendors because we did not wish to use William H Brown's mortgage advisors. Pushy and pig ignorant, avoid like the f-ing plague.

If there were less than 1 I would give it.Put on market with them as wanted a property that they had. Took a week to get a viewing, took £135 for the deluxe package and nothing happened had to chase up photogrspher, etc, they are rude, unprofessional and I asked for a refund. No apology or could be bothered to ask why

TrustpilotNot serious estate agents
I had a property viewing with them today, after waiting for 15min no one showed up. After calling them I found out my appointment has been canceled by the agent. I have not received an email nor a phone call.I would not be conducting business with them anymore, this is not a way to do business.

Trustpilotterrible agents
I'm trying to buy a property and those greedy Agents wont let me view property because I'm not using they mortgage advisors. I've contacted them about numerous properties but they even wont return emails or calls as they already know I don't want to use their dodgy advisors with elevated fees, disgrace where is free market!!!!!

TrustpilotUtterly Useless!
After organizing a viewing for two properties without much hassle, the follow up was non-existent. As a student, sorting housing out for the next year can be a stressful time. After liking one of the properties and emailing them to express our interest, no reply was received. Then after emailing them for a second time, still no reply has been received.Utterly useless!
1/5
TrustpilotThey don't remove ads off sold properties off the market
They don't take properties which have been sold off the market so it's misleading and make you lose time! Unprofessional. Additionally, they don't follow requests about the way to contact you. I prefer to be contacted via email or message as I work nights, but they still will be giving you a call...

TrustpilotAvoid at all costs
The worst estate agent company ever. I dealt with a Jerome in Barking and not only was he rude and aggressive he was completely useless! Didnt tell us of a number of offers and was impossible to get hold of. He lied and was appalling throughout. Would never use again.

TrustpilotTERRIBLE...the communication is beyond…
TERRIBLE...the communication is beyond embarrassing, property is literally thrown on to the market at a random price and left to sit there as they want their advertising boards around town. It's well known this company is NOT the best locally, they just have more money to push their business. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

TrustpilotTaking more fees than they tell you about and selling your data
After finding a property with them I was told about the fees but when I paid them and wanted to pay the deposit and first moth's rent I was told there was another fee bringing it to £650. What is more they sold my personal data to Spark Energy and changed my energy supplier to Spark energy without mine or my landlord's consent.

TrustpilotPoor service at Fakenham
Poor service at Fakenham. Took house of market mistakenly. Our buyer only got it by insisting they contact me.Pressured to accept a risky bid.Once under offer, no contact. They never bothered to chase and update etc. I had to chase them. Very poor.I would not use again.
1/5
TrustpilotVery unprofessional agent
Very unprofessional agent. Initially mentioned to me that a viewing needs to be rescheduled as the tenant wasn’t home, rescheduled to the next day. Next day she does not answer calls and when I reach the location I find no one is available. The following day the house is listed as Let agreed. Waste of time dealing with an agency like this.

TrustpilotA very professional service

Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
