Our experience with WH Brown Rentals…

Our experience with WH Brown Rentals was shocking. Upon taking a rental property under the managed scheme, like many tenants, we faced maintenance issues. For example, we lived in a property with an oil boiler. One morning, we awoke to find an issue. Despite informing WH Brown that we used oil, they repeatedly sent gas engineers, eventually stating, "We can't fix it; sort it out yourself." After obtaining the landlord's contact information, it took three days to resolve the issue, leaving us without a boiler during winter. When we requested a hotel due to WH Brown's refusal to address the problem and having young children, we were told, "Sort it yourself; we don't offer that. It's not our problem."Other reported issues weren't addressed under the management scheme, leading us to contact the landlord directly, who addressed them but requested we not report him to the council due to WH Brown's ignorance. When deciding to leave the house, the situation worsened.Upon contacting WH Brown, they told our new agent we were in contract and wouldn't be moving. After challenging this, they acknowledged our break clause. Regarding referencing, they claimed 2-3 weeks, which our new agent and the referencing agency found unacceptable, prompting an alternative approach due to WH Brown being labeled as "the most difficult agent I have ever dealt with for absolutely no reason."Despite three emails, we received the final account balance four weeks later from a company associated with WH Brown. The amount requested was incorrect, and when questioned, they refused to provide clarification. We paid the verified amount as per our contract through a solicitor.During checkout, we returned the keys, receiving the checkout report seven days later, conducted four days before we received a copy. WH Brown absolved themselves, stating another company handles the deposit. Ten days later, with no information, we've threatened legal action for deposit recovery. WH Brown, when contacted, cited busyness and non-responsiveness to emails. The checkout report showed photographed parcels, which we arranged to have collected by a neighbor. However, they were removed without permission, and we've reported this to the police as theft from WH Brown.I've never experienced such shocking service from an agent, and it seems we may need to take legal action to recover our deposit. I strongly advise anyone considering renting with WH Brown to think twice. This review is based on a genuinely terrible experience, and we will continue to fight to get our money back, regardless of the legal implications.

I recently just letted out my property and it was the smoothest experience because I was given all the information I required from day one and all my questions were answered appropriately.

Do not recommend renting with WHBrown

I don't usually leave reviews but the horrific experience I had renting a property with William H Brown warrants letting others know how this company functions. From start to finish things were conducted haphazardly - no exit inventory was done when the tenant before me left and the inventory they did prior to me moving in was extremely inaccurate. When I moved in I found rodent faeces, mould, and general grime throughout the house. A couple of weeks after moving in, the shower was leaking badly through to the ceiling below, next to an electrical fixture. It took nearly 8 months to get them to sort it. At the end of my tenancy, the landlord made claims on the deposit for a number of inaccurate reasons, including damage left by the contractors they hired to finally do the repairs on the shower. Throughout my tenancy, getting through to the property manager with "Sequence" was difficult. I was often told they would call me back and never did. All in all they do not seem to have the best interests of tenants in mind and do a poor job of mediating with unresponsive landlords. I will not ever rent from them again and would never recommend anyone else to do so either.

We used WHB to sell our house in Bawtry. Overall the experience was a positive one, and we wished we had used them initially as our agent. The marketing was of a high standard and the extended opening hours meant it was straightforward to get hold of people. We particularly appreciated Sarah going above and beyond to provide packing materials when our belligerent buyer forced us to move out at short notice. We had a couple of lesser issues. Communication could have been improved. Messages were not always passed across internally and I believe that the buyer was given unrealistic promises that were not fully shared with us. On a few occasions, we also felt that some agents lacked experience and could have provided both more information about the local market and more comprehensive feedback after viewings. The estate agent overseeing our onward purchase has excelled in both these areas emphasising the contrast. That said, we are grateful for the hard work of the whole team who we found to be friendly and helpful. Particular thanks to Sarah and Paige for all their efforts.

William H Brown Bawtry Darcie Hughes…

William H Brown Bawtry Darcie Hughes letting Manager.I have now removed all my rental properties from this agent. They don’t care about safety. The fire alarm battery casing had been removed by the tenants. When I asked why I was not informed, the Letting Manger D’Arcie Hughes response was it’s the Landlords responsibility. I reminded her I pay full management to W H Brown, she didn’t respond. I had to travel from Germany were I’m based after the tenants left my house in a terrible state of repair. Water damage on the celling, ripped off the door blinds. Left the house so dirty it took a team to clean and redecorate. I’m still in shock, my house was new when o handed over the keys. I’m planning on taking this further as I didn’t receive a penny from the holding deposit. This is the second time this house had been left in a bad state. That’s why I’ve taken my business to Oakwood.

I have not yet completed but my experience so far has been plain sailing. All the team have been really helpful especially Olivia who carried out the valuation who was very sensitive to my personal situation . I also needed help with some paperwork and Olivia took the time to come and sit with me. Would definitely recommend their services.

Our experience with this company was excellent thanks to Darcie H. She was our first point of contact and helped us with a selection of properties, then booked viewings and once we decided on a property, she also helped with our tenancy application. She managed to work within our time frame and was very polite and customer focused. I can definitely recommend Darcie as your next lettings negotiator and the Bawtry office. Thank you for your help.

Tarley was very pleasant to deal with for both my mother and I. She was extremely tenacious at helping to move a slow process forward. She kept us informed on a regular basis. She would be a good reason to use William H Brown again!

I can't recommend this Estate Agent enough. We dealt mainly with Clare who was exceptional and so knowledgeable on all aspects of buying and selling and became the vital link between us and the other parties involved, especially when communication was difficult with solicitors. All the other members of staff were equally as professional and stress levels were always reduced after receiving their advice.

Swaffham - Aston 10/10

Aston at the Swaffham branch was fantastic. He made us feel really comfortable and answered all the questions we had. As first time buyers it can be all very overwhelming at times however Aston made the process very simple. 10/10. Also Tony and Emily at the Swaffham branch are great. All very friendly and they are there for you across your house buying journey.

Caroline and the team at William H Brown in Bawtry have been a pleasure to deal with. As a corporate relocation agent, I realise that working with companies to relocate new employees from abroad (and rent properties) is not always straightforward, but Caroline could not have been more helpful, understanding and accommodating. William H Brown are a professional and forward thinking estate agency and I look forward to working with them again in the near future.

I found a rental property online and asked for a viewing. The property was located over 100 miles from my residence and as a consequence of this the employee said that they had a recent video of the property, she sent it to me and it looked amazing so I put in an offer. Contracts were exchanged and then on the day of moving the agency contacted me to inform me that the cooker had been condemned and had to be removed from the property and that the landlord was now refusing to buy a cooker and that they were not required to provide one. As you can appreciate at this stage I was very upset, however the agents said they would get back to the landlord to see if she would change her mind. The contracts had already been exchanged and the landlord was refusing to honour her side of the agreement on the moving day when the arrangements had been made and I had moved out of my current home. I would not use this company at all they have no common decency and to add salt to the wound I have to take them to court to get my money back for the E first months rent and deposit because they think that I should be held to the fixed term contract and be liable for paying the rent nevertheless! Do not trust this company!!!

We sold our house in Bawtry using William H Brown. They were nothing but incredibly helpful and professional. We had a few issues trying to sell but the staff in the office went above and beyond to push the sale through. Highly recommended

Hands down the best letting agents we have dealt with! Myself and my partner moved quickly and efficiently to Bawtry thanks to William H Brown, specifically their wonderful agent Darcie who is an asset to the team. She kept in contact contact with my partner and made the process very easy and smooth for us and the landlady - who also only has wonderful things to say about Darcie and WHB. I will be recommending WHB to all my friends and family! Thanks again to the wonderful team at Bawtry WHB!
