I must say the service here absolutely impeccable. The staff were friendly and helpful. From my first walk in i was greeted and helped almost immediately by Tracey this member of staff was inviting and answered my inquiries with the information i wanted promptly and in an understandable way. She helped me book my mortgage appointment with Felix who is another clear precise and friendly member of staff. Felix was able to answer all of my questions in an informative but understandable way helping me understand what goals need to be achieved to reach my final goal. I cant recommend this branch enough

I cannot recommend William H Brown highly enough! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Drew went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail. Communication was excellent, every email and call was responded to promptly, and they kept us updated at every stage. What really stood out was their friendly and approachable attitude. It’s clear they genuinely care about their clients, and that personal touch makes all the difference. Moving can often be stressful, but they made the experience seamless and enjoyable. Thank you very much 😁

A big Thank you to Drew and Ross for going above and beyond to help get my property issues resolved before a new tenant moved in. Being at my property at 9pm to facilitate a gas engineer changing a regulator is very much appreciated. Thanks

Anne Luby has been amazing from the very beginning. She took the time to arrange regular Teams meetings, which made the whole experience feel much more personal. As a first time buyer, I had absolutely no idea where to start and was a complete novice who felt out of her depth, but Anne guided me through every step of the process.

Would highly recommend if you’re looking to rent. Very friendly and helpful staff, Ross Stannard got things moving very quickly for me and was always happy to answer questions and help me understand all the paperwork in layman’s terms. He ensured our move went as quickly and as smoothly as possible. Thank you Ross and all the team 🙂 …

PLEASE STEER WELL CLEAR!!

Poor communication, false promises from sales, lettings and mortgage services. Started off great but once they've had your money they don't care about resolving any issues. Don't bother with the lifetime membership as you'll have to do all the work yourself. Don't bother with management services for letting a property either, they won't tell you about any problems and they'll let your tenants damage your property and steal from you without any reconciliation measures or compensation. I sold my flat over a year ago and I'm still battling with them and the Zero Deposit scheme to compensate me for my property being stolen and damage that I paid to fix for the new owner out of my own pocket. PLEASE STEER CLEAR, SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE!!

As a tenant this is the worst rental agency I've ever dealt with - expected more from such a big name

As a tenant this is the worst rental agent I've ever dealt with. 1) Difficult to get in touch with - they hardly ever answer the phone. 2) The property was dirty when we moved in, no inventory provided. 3) The property was managed by Sequence Ltd who have provided a very disappointing service - early on we were told (via a phone call and after several weeks of us asking) to arrange for repair of a maintenance issue ourselves and that this could be deducted off our rent afterwards, and that the landlord had instructed this. We never received the refund, they said because they didn't have records of that instruction. Several staff members had started then left during our tenancy which didn't help (we were there for 6 months). 4) We are now having to contact Tenancy Deposit Scheme to get our deposit back relating to a different issue, mostly due to our inadequate landlord who it seems is trying to claim a random amount of money anywhere he might get away with it (we left the property in a cleaner state than when we arrived to try to avoid any possible excuses for deduction from deposit). Sequence Ltd doesn't appear to know about or be bothered about the law and tenant's rights.

Ollie Aston flat inspection

This Morning I had Ollie Aston attend my flat for an annual inspection. He was on time as agreed. He took photos for Landlord and was a very pleasant with his customer communication during the visit. I raised a few questions which I hope to hear back. I wish him the success in his employ and rate 5 star service. Overall have dealt with WHB for 6 years always been of a high standard.

I would not trust these people

I would not trust these people, I emailed them to arrange a viewing on a tenanted property, no contact, after a couple of days I called them to arrange a viewing for same property, straight away the sales person tried steering me to another property instead, but I held firm, they said they would get back to me with an appointment, they never did, it’s now sold. They have preferred investors waiting in the background, other sectors would not get away with it.

All I can say is they are shocking

All I can say is they are shocking. They have a brilliant sales pitch to get you hook on using them to sell your property then once you agree the service they provide goes downhill from there. 99% of the viewings are time wasters as they are not vetted before viewing that they are even interested or proceedable to purchase. They promise open house viewing days but have never once done anything like that. Communication is poor and I'm always chasing them for everything. You get sent offers you accept them then they say the buyer has lowered their offer will you accept it.

Impeccable Service!

We recently had the pleasure of using William H Brown also known as Sequence as our estate agent during our house purchase, and I cannot speak highly enough of their outstanding service. From the very beginning, Libby our Mortgage Advisor was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs.

Drew was fantastic! Such a warm and friendly person. Looking for a property can be very daunting but she took us through the process even through some bumps along the way (not due to the estate agents) she got us to the finish line. Also Ross was very helpful and kind. Great team at March branch and we are now settling in our beautiful new home. Thank you.

Avoid WH Brown!

Sold my house through W H Brown and they were the worst estate agent I have ever used. Communication was nil, left messages and they didn’t get back at all. Actually went 5 MONTHS with no contact! Sold my house to first viewer for full asking price so they had very little to do.When I complained to head office, they stated the branch had done nothing wrong! Obviously have low standards. Definitely an estate agent to avoid. No wonder they have a poor reputation

Could not have had better service

Went for a viewing on a bungalow back in the Summer and met a lovely lady called Marina from the Kingsley branch. We didn't like the bungalow but, we did like Marina and we put our house sale in her capable hands. She sold our house within a day I think and everything went really well until 6 weeks later, our buyer lost their buyer. However, about 4 weeks later, our buyer found a new buyer and we all set of again. However, due to solicitors not talking to each other and them being particularly hard to get hold off the last month or so of proceedings was very stressful and just made hard by the solicitors. However, Marina and everyone at William Browns worked so, so, so hard getting solicitors to talk and get things done and eventually, we exchanged and completed last week! The team at Kingsley worked so hard for us and went above and beyond our expectations - Marina was our main contact and I can not speak highly enough of her and would love to thank her for her straight forward talking, her honesty and her absolute dedication when it was actually quite hard work!! Thank you Marina and team ☺️ To have full transparency, the reason I could not give 5 stars was due to the solicitors we used which were recommended by William Browns - they were shocking but that does not detract for the amazing service we received

Useless, uncommunicative liars who are after your money.

There is a saying that "Buyers are Liars". Well trust me, our Estate Agents handling the sale of our property were without doubt the worst we have ever had in selling any of our previous properties proving that it isn't the buyers that are the liars but the Estate Agents themselves. I won't name individuals but as a company, William H. Brown of Ely were the worst for Communicating to us in the selling of our property. From the first contact where the then manageress came and visited us to suggest a selling price to the end result of us vacating the property was nothing short of disgusting. Considering they were going to be getting paid a couple of grand for selling our property for us, they did nothing. We did get the odd email and phone call trying to dazzle us with percentages and figures why our property wasn't selling but as I said to the individual calling me, stop making pathetic excuses and sell our property. When we first put our property up for sale at a price suggested by the management, one of the staff rang me and suggested that I should drop my price to get more interest! This was a week after we had it up for sale. I very politely told him no. They changed staff like I changed my grundies, every time we went in to the office someone else had left, hopefully to richer pastures. God help any new staff. All they will learn working in that office will be to lie, ignore your customers and spout BS because that's what we had from them, totally and utterly useless staff acting on our behalf.. The Manager who is in situ now was supposed to working on our behalf but was more focused on our buyers than us and even had the nerve to suggest that we moved into rented accommodation, with a wife, dog, cat and me, put all our possessions in to storage just so that our buyers could move in quickly. Quite disgusting behaviour from the "Manager". He even had the gall to tell us that our buyers wanted to move in on the following Monday and that they had their removals team delivering their possessions on the Tuesday. More lies. What a Pratt! We have now been moved out over a week and we have since found out that the buyers still haven't moved in, so what was all that pushing and prompting about putting us under enormous stress? It all points to him wanting the deal sealed so he could get his monthly bonus. Considering what our Solicitors, Hunt & Coombs did for us, the sheer amount of hard, intense work our Conveyancing Team did and the amount of fees they charged us was paltry compared to what we were charged. So to wrap up my review of William H. Brown, Estate Agents, Ely. We were very sorry we ever got involved with them. I would suggest using caution if you are unlucky enough to use them to sell your property because they don't care about you as a customer, just see you as a cash-cow. They will lie to you, ignore your calls and generally mess you about. I would suggest you use any of the other Estate Agents in Ely because to be honest, none of them could ever be as bad as William H. Brown.

Really positive experience

My partner and I have recently sold a flat and brought a family home together in our local town through harwich L’s William h brown. We couldn’t fault their services at all, and found our dealings with William h brown were the most positive part of the whole experience.The Valuation and initial chat was with Alex who was warm and friendly, made us feel comfortable and eased us into the process - answering all our questions as he went through the paperwork.We organised to view potential homes with Rob and Chelsea over the phone who were both lovely and understood what we were looking for. Rob always offering more options and encouraging us to explore as many homes as possible in the area to find our dream home. Chelsea always made us feel welcome and comfy walking round a strangers home and we felt we could really be honest with our feedback about the viewings during each one.The mortgage process was smooth and effortless with Daisy, who was so supportive and very thorough. She went through everything as slowly and as many times as we needed to really get our head around the figures and potential outgoings we would be committing to. I had so many questions and worries and Daisy was always so quick to respond and reassure me with all the information we needed. She also made sorting life and building insurance an easy process, as we had no idea! Having used a different mortgage adviser previously for the flat purchase, I can’t explain how much better the service was with Daisy. She was so easy to contact and I was never left in limbo wondering what the next step would be. We will definitely be using her services again for future remortgages and any movement we decide to make - though not for a long time!We managed to purchase a beautiful 3 bed detached home on the David Wilson development after William h brown recommended we go and view the site! And we haven’t looked back since, the house is everything we could have wished for. During the process of purchasing, exchanging and completing on the purchase of our home we worked closely with Daisy, Sharon and Michelle with weekly phone calls, emails and meetings to make sure we were on track, get updates and keep the ball rolling!Sharon was so kind and reassuring, and when her name popped up on my phone screen after a stressful call with the solicitors I would feel relieved that I would be having a productive and positive chat with her about it all, which chilled me back out again. The amount of support and progression sharon provided was amazing and we can’t thank her enough! Michelle works closely with the harwich team too, but is based in clacton and called us weekly too to update us, chase progression and steer us closer towards completion. It became like talking to a friend, as she was so Intune with what was needed and how to keep us calm throughout.It’s almost strange not getting calls from Sharon, Daisy and Michelle now that it’s all completed, but we are so glad it’s all completed and we are all settled into our new home.Thanks William h brown, for everything.
