Marc was a pleasure to deal with. As the buyer in the transaction, Marc always kept us updated and actively chased solicitors who were very slow but with Marc’s determined approach, we got the transaction over the line. You couldn’t ask for more from an agent! Thanks Marc Laurainne and team!

We received excellent service from William H Brown Rainham office. The branch Manager and the staff are very helpful and friendly. They updated us on our purchase and how it is progressing. Anytime we are buying a property Rainham office is our first contact.

From first contact with Marc right up to where we are now (Sold STC). The service has been (is) professional, courteous and friendly. The communications are timely and polite, plus the portal enables you to keep track of progress easily. We were very impressed with the high quality of the photographs of our house and the marketing. We were given constructive advice on maximising the potential our property, which was well worth following. They even advised us on our purchase and assisted with the negotiations. Highly recommend this branch.

We recently had the pleasure of buying our dream house from William H Brown in Rainham. The team was kind, professional and helped us through this process by answering our queries and assisting us with everything from the beginning till the end. Thanks a lot!!!

It took me 2 years after the purchase of my home to write this review..mainly so I don't write anything whilst in the heat of it. I dealt with Luke who is apparently the manager of the Rainham branch. Luke is a fraud. He initially started with 'if I go with their broker, I will have more chance of securing a property through them'. Being a first time buyer and naive, I went with their broker. This did not work in my favour at all. He often wanted me to go over the asking price and finally when I secured a property, came off the market, instructed solicitors and booked in surveyors, he went with another buyer. I assume he agreed a deal under the table which benefitted him. He called me and said unless I can now go 2k above what the other buyer is offering then I have lost the property. I think Luke just didn't like that I had spoken to vendors directly but its a dirty business indeed. I wasn't too stumped as it was my first property not my dream property! Would I use their 'lifetime brokerage service'..probably not.

Bought my first place from William H Brown (rainham branch) they have been great. Dealt with Margaret who has been amazing throughout the process. She helped me find my dream property after years of looking and with a tough market during the SDLT break she would always update me before a property was coming live and get me in asap. the whole process was so seamless and she got me over the line to completion so smoothly. Thanks Margaret for all your help.

Where do I begin, nearly a year on from my purchase. I just knew from the minute I walked into the office, and was introduced to Margaret and Dan my journey in landing first property was in safe hands. Margaret was exceptional when helping us view all the properties throughout the area. As you do we fell in love with one of the properties and without the help of Margaret and the team purchasing it would not have been possible. With all the highs and lows of purchasing a house we managed to get there in the end. “Thank you Margaret” from me and the family. Dan with his expertise skill set in getting us the best mortgage at the time. Even now is talked about a stroke of genius from the man himself, especially the way rates are in this current climate but I'm sure he can still get you the best. Always recommending him to friends and family. Overall if you are looking to purchase a property in Rainham this is the team you want in your corner. Thanks guys.

I want to express my sincere gratitude and special thanks to Marc Mcilveney for his fantastic efforts in finding the ideal property for me. I would say, Marc is second to none for his dedication to look for a property for the buyer. He was very proactive in setting up property viewings, promptly answered my questions, regularly updated me, and was always polite both in person and over the phone. He was also warm, personable, and incredibly helpful throughout the stressful procedure. Thank you once again Marc, you are a star.

I would like to say a special thank you and heartfelt appreciation to Margaret for being amazing throughout the whole process of selling my house. Margaret was professional in all aspects of her role from the start to completion. She was proactive in arranging house viewings, responded to my queries or concerns even out of working hours and most importantly, always courteous over the phone as well as in person. In addition, Margaret was friendly, approachable and very supportive during the roller coaster process. I would also like to thank Luke and Lauraine for their contribution in the successful sale of my house. Thank you once again Margaret, you are a great asset to William H Brown, Rainham Branch. God bless you always! 🙏🏽

Marc and both Lorraine’s were excellent (One has a slightly different spelling that I can’t remember)from the beginning , gave guidance when needed and had the house under multiple offers after the first weekend. Kept in contact but never badgered me. Couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Was excellent value for money too.

We have had the best professional service from Marc Mcilveney. Our house was on the market with two previous agents with no luck and a very proactive Marc introduced himself to us and within a few weeks he secured a buyer. During this time he has kept us up to date at all times and is also well supported by his office team, who always respond in a very timely manner to any emails I have sent. House moving is a very stressful time and Marc has guided us through this relatively easily. Highly recommend!

I cannot praise the team highly enough! From start to finish and even follow up, everybody at the office went over and above to help make my sale and purchase go through as smoothly as possible, regardless of any problem I (or Covid) presented them with. Luke the Manager was polite, helpful and sooo patient as was Dan the Financial Advisor. They kept me up to date with everything and even made phone calls on my behalf that they didn't need to (Special thanks to Olga who also helped me). Dan went out of his way to get the best product for me and explained everything fully so that even I could understand which must have exhausted him! I've never written a review before but they rightly deserve to recognised and recommended for the outstanding service provided. We'll done and Thank you.

As a first time buyer, Mr Daniel Appleby was always responsive. There were many times that we needed one info or the other, even late at night, he will call to clarify things. There was a time he was on holiday and he still moved fast on one ppty we were interested in! Today we have the keys to our own home in our names all because of the hardwork of Daniel and his team. Thank you. Hope u have a well deserved rest during Xmas. Kafilat &EPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I deal mostly with Daniel Appleby (broker) and Olga Summer (agent) - I had an excellent service from both of them and they were very responsive and professional. I had some responsiveness problems with the conveyancer they suggested, but that was due to the particular employee. Olga went out of her way to keep them under pressure and complained until we got assigned a different employee of the conveyancing firm which has been efficient and fast. In the end we were able to complete the transaction before the end of the stamp duty holiday of June 2021, so that was great.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

I would like to thank Dan Appleby mortgage broker for everything he has done for me the past year. He is extremely hard working and will move heaven and earth to make it happen. I wouldn’t be where I am today in my new house without him and would never trust any one like I trust Dan. I will never deal with any one else. Even after my move has completed he still helped me with an issue. Thank you so much for making this move as easy as possible and for always picking up the phone even when it’s after hours!

Dan was a great broker and really went out of his way to help making my purchase possible. He reached out to the estate agents on my behalf to substantiate my offer and affordability which I personally believe gave me a slight edge in securing my new home which had a lot of interest and competitive offers. I highly recommend Dan and have nothing but good things to say about his service and willingness to go above and beyond.

Nasty nasty nasty estate agents. Stay clear. I tried to buy a house, 100 Rainham Road, from these guys back in 2021 - already had a mortgage offer in hand due to another purchase falling through and offered over the asking price but they …
