Sold our house in less than a week!

We were highly recommended to use Minors and Brady by some friends and we are beyond pleased we did. From the initial meeting, valuation, photos, sale process to now the after care phase they have been faultless. Connie has been superb with regular communication and updates and flexible to our working hours and demands. Our house has sold in under a week and we truly believe it is down to their excellent work, highly professional photos and efficient communication. They do come with slightly higher cost but this is, in our opinion, completely worth it for all the above reasons! Thanks to all the team at Minors and Brady!

Generally quite underwhelming.

We bought a small bungalow for my father with M&B Lowestoft and then therefore decided to engage them to sell the main family house. As a buyer, the experience was fair. As a seller, on the whole, we found the experience quite underwhelming and somewhat regretted the decision (by the looks of other reviews, we had similar issues as those reviews from the more detailed reviews that aren't 5-stars).The valuation and initial engagements with Henry were very positive. Good start.The first few viewings were conducted by a lad that really couldn’t care less about the particulars of the property or its key selling points, and whose sole purpose was to open the door and let viewers in. We had to rewrite a lot of the marketing material ourselves as it sounded like it was written by ChatGPT with parts that were plain incorrect and misleading (e.g. “wheelchair friendly” but there are major steps in and out, narrow hallway, and a staircase to the first floor!). Several iterations were required back-and-forth and I wondered what our agency fee actually covered. Photographer turned up on wrong day and took lots of photos with the house looking very untidy, which were then put into the marketing material (luckily these never made it into the market as new photos were eventually taken). One-on-one engagements with the team were generally pleasant, particularly when booking viewings. However the whole office shares responsibility for all sales which means there is no “go-to” person for your property. This might be efficient for them but it’s not great for customer experience and you end up repeating a lot of information with every person you speak to and not building a trusted relationship with anyone. We were pushed quite hard to accept a very low offer (even when taking into account the soft market) but were not in a rush to sell. It would have been good to get advice, from experts, on how to improve appeal rather than being advised to just keep dropping price. We were misled into believing that our buyer was chain free, whereas we were actually at the top of a four-property chain! When asked several times why they’d said this to us, they avoided our question which, for us, was an admission of guilt.Post-offer there was no proper handover and our enquiries went unanswered until we figured out that we were now in the hands of the after-sales team (the only time there was a nominated person, yet we weren’t told). No post completion engagement either, just an email to the conveyancer confirming their fee.We appreciate it's not a frothy market like previous years but, with so many agents in the market, that means even greater attention is needed on good customer experience, which costs very little.My advice to potential clients would be to use recommendations from friends. I am quite surprised by all the short, positive 5-star reviews from accounts with only 1 or 2 reviews conveniently naming specific people(!), as these did not match my experience.

Beth, thank you for your efficiency and support

We've just been supported by Beth through the process of applying to rent a property - something we haven't had to do for many years. We've found her really helpful, in particular in terms of being efficient and prompt in keeping us up-to-date as it progressed. At first because of the standard application questions we were anxious that there wouldn't be opportunity for us to convey our situation accurately, but once the initial steps were taken we found we were listened to clearly and supported in providing anything extra that was needed. Thank you Beth - we're very glad to have had you help us through the process. Adeline and Darran.

Great to work with.

Its been a pleasure working with this Lowestoft team. Starting with patience in handling our numerous viewings, to the last push negotiating with the seller on several occassions. At each stage we had someone on our case which gave us confidence we gonna buy the property. They have good detail in the procedures & i can gladly recommend. Many thanks to Jess, Conor, Macey & others behond the scenes.

Another Estate Agent comes to town ! My experience of the Dereham Branch, at best monkeys at worst Arthur Daley types. Check their web site lie after lie on the review page, or they are really good at selling. Posted on the 27/1/2020 some one had had a valuation, mortgage and by the tone had sold and bought all in 3 days ?? And Dereham is not even in their search criteria on the website which tells me ZERO properties available here. The amount of grammar, spelling & punctuation mistakes on their website would worry me trusting my sale or buying a property with these guys, sloppy very sloppy.

Good afternoon 'Badgers Glove', I am sorry to have received your 1 star review, especially as it appears you have had no contact with our Dereham office. As another client has said in a 5 star review, it appears as though this is a fake review from another agent in Dereham. We are an independent, family run estate agency and our sole aim is to provide clients with an exceptional moving experience across our three branches. That means good viewings, responsive feedback and a team willing to help our customers throughout the process. Minors & Brady is in its 6th year as a business, having won best estate agent in the East of England and astonishingly coming third for customer service in the U.K.. We have nearly a thousand 5 star reviews (across our three branches and Facebook) and less than a handful of 1 star reviews, but we are constantly reviewing our services to improve the customer's experience. As an owner run business, we take all reviews very seriously and we have contacted Google and our IT specialists to investigate the IP and authenticity of this review, but please do contact me on 01362 700820 or dereham@minorsandbrady.co.uk if you wish to discuss how we can improve our service. Kind Regards, Jamie Minors (Director)

Minors & Brady. The behaviour from the estate agent was completely unprofessional, with repeated pressure, poor communication, and what felt like threatening and harassing conduct throughout the process.

Agent replied · 1 June 2026

We’re sorry to hear about your Nan's experience Laura. Feeling pressured or threatened, particularly when it comes to fees and legal matters, is not how we want our customers to feel. We would like to look into this properly and understand what’s happened here. Please get in touch with us directly so we can review the details and work towards resolving this for you.

After sales team

Claire from after sales has been amazing!!! It's not been an easy process but Claire has been there! She's been very accommodating to my work commitments and communication was very clear. She's listened when I've struggled been stressed and even though its email communication it's always care, advice and support. Good staff should always be acknowledged but Claire just gave a bit more....worth her weight in gold!

Great service throughout

Honor Cunningham was extremely helpful with a viewing of a property I had recently. The first consultant I’ve had who printed off information about the property for me on the day. She was knowledgable about the property and very polite. Would happily view more properties with her help.

Elle (Eleanor Browne of Dereham branch) took us to see two properties. From the first meeting and all the way through Elle was friendly, engaging and professional. She answered our questions and helped with our discussions on each house. We also saw that she had good relationships with the sellers too. We hope Elle continues with her excellent work and does well in her chosen career as she certainly deserves to. David & Caroline.

Adelaide has been fantastic. Right from the beginning Adelaide has been so kind and helpful with our unique situation and she always went above and beyond to try and help where she could. Its never easy selling a house let alone doing it 6 months pregnant but we honestly cant thank Adelaide enough for making the process so simple and easy.I Will definitely recommend to anyone we know who wants to sell their house.

We had a very good experience with minors and Brady. Liam was great during our valuation, really explained everything the company has to offer and how everything works. Our photography with Brad was very thorough and the pictures are great. Mia was brilliant in sorting our brochure and listing to go on the market! This was very quick and efficient and we couldn’t be more grateful for the service we have received so far!

Our sale & purchase have been a bit of a rollercoaster but Nagilla Santos has been a light in the gloom that we have often felt. Nagilla is highly efficient and has pushed those who needed pushing very professionally. She's also very personable and has been a pleasure to deal with. Nagilla is the primary reason for the five star review.

Hi I would like to put on record what a fantastic jobs this estate agent is doing! Special Samuel who even though I was sending emails after emails he always replied within minutes. Dealing with the vetting agency and landlord, he was always keeping me updated about what was going on. Even went a miles extras. Couldn’t be happier, I will definitely tell my entourage what a wonderful experience I had. Thumbs up.

Friendly and efficient

Sonya has been our go to contact, for sometime now.She is friendly and efficient, and you know you are in good hands with her. Sonya helped us as a family make a move from outside the county, which was a massive undertaking. She is credit to the company.Sonya was with our prior letting agents, and she moved over to M&B when that agency was sold. So we are lucky to have that continuity.
