GoogleI recently bought a home through William H Brown and it was such an easy and professional experience. Daisy showed me around the property - she was knowledgable and a lovely to work with. All communication was swift and accurate. From viewing to moving in was less than 8 weeks. Thank you to Daisy, David, Sharon and the rest of the team.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

TrustpilotThe best estate agent in town!!
We cannot praise and thank Ben and his team enough for the true support and caring attentive service. We had a extremely stressful time during the sale of our house due to short comings by some of the solicitors in the chain. Ben was on hand to guide us and give us a truly wonderful end result!! We would recommend Ben and his team to any prospective sellers or buyers!Paul and Susan Stenhouse

TrustpilotAvoid Stevenage branch at all costs
Started out overly friendly couldn’t do enough to get things moving then once they got my payment, everything stoped lack of communication constantly having to chase false promises constant delays -just a heads up they take payment before they do the work not after so I lost money for a mortgage I never got from Deniz in the Stevneage branch. I’ve used William h brown before (not this branch) with no problems but this experience with Deniz and the Stevenage teams was truly shocking. Avoid at all costs! When actual work was involved the team were rude and unhelpful making the process even more stressful.

GoogleWe have had a really good experience using William H Brown. The whole team at Woodbridge are very friendly and always happy to help. In particular, Ellie who looked after our house sale, has been amazing and is the loveliest person to deal with. We would highly recommend them!

TrustpilotAbsolutely 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.

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.

TrustpilotFrom 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.

TrustpilotDisappointed 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.

TrustpilotThe 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. 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

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.

TrustpilotGood 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.

TrustpilotBeware of commission charges
Be very wary of this company. When selling your house with them make sure you have a signed copy of the agreement with their commission charges. I sold my house several months ago. I have given up trying to get a copy of a signed agreement with their charges on. They state they don't work on a percentage so you only find out their commission on completion of the contract. The way they market your property is good but if you use them make sure of their costs beforehand. I calculate I was charged 2% which is more than most agents charge.

TrustpilotBad experience
I am deeply disappointed with the service provided by William H Brown. We were approved to move into a house managed by them, only to be blindsided nine days before our scheduled move-in date. Upon calling to confirm the details, we were informed that the landlord had decided to sell the house a few days prior, leaving us scrambling to find alternative accommodations. Not only was this lack of communication unprofessional, but it also caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience. It's unacceptable that we had to initiate contact to discover this information rather than being informed proactively. Moving forward, I would caution others to think twice before trusting William H Brown with their housing needs.

TrustpilotAbsolutely appalling service
Absolutely appalling service. Having paid William H Brown to manage a property we were letting, they provided an extremely poor service and unbelievably poor communication causing stress for me and the tenant. We also paid for a property check before and after the tenancy. The before one was very accurate and professional, the after one was unbelievable and stated there was no dust and all was in good order. The flat had not been cleaned for two years, holes drilled through walls to run cables between rooms, and hang speakers. It has cost us a lot and a lot of time/effort to get the flat back to a good standard. While the tenant owes several month rent, we have had to forfeit the bond to cover repairs as the tenant is arguing that the flat was in a good order, due to this poor report. We took picture and are now putting an official complaint in as well as trying to seek expert advice on how to recover the money owed. William H Brown have caused so much stress and anxiety and don’t seem to care. Probably the worst company we have ever dealt with.

TrustpilotAvoid! Scam Estate Agent
Avoid! Nasty, Unethical Estate Agent!I haved listed 3 bed terrased with them but also used another estate who sold property within 3 days. Asked William H in Stevenage to take it off the market, they confirmed they did!We moved and exchanged as per usual with another estate, not having any comms with William H Stevenage.10 months down the line we receive nasty letter from collectors saying we owe £4,4k fees to William H Stevenage and must pay immediately! We did not sell via William H Stevenage.Surpisigly No correspondence from William H Stevenage agents to say otherwise. Now I have to spend my time and resources to proof something that is fact anyway! Absolutely unacceptable and terrible way to treat customer!Do not ever! I repeat ever instruct William H Stevenage to sell house or buy from them!!
