Unprofressional and tell lies to get…

Unprofressional and tell lies to get you to sign. We rented a house that was with them but also with another estate agent (weird) they advertised it as one price on right move with no deposits and they tried to change the prices after we signed. Promised us the house was going to be painted and plastered before we moved in and when we moved in it was a horror show, including mouldy food still in the fridge! Baring in mind this was the middle of a pandemic. When we called to complain we were told they no longer worked with the other company and did not deal with this property at all anymore. Keys were lost in their offices when we went to move in, and just a total lack of organisation or care for their tenants. A year later when we move out surprise surprise it is them that want the keys back to rent the house out again.Unless you are desperate for a house I would avoid!

Let down and disappointed

After careful consideration I decided to use the estate agent william h Brown to sell my house. After signing the agreement I was waiting 2 weeks for the photographs which I thought was way to long. When house finally went live It sold within a few days. After some weeks I heard nothing I was also using their solicitors Black's. My house was in joint names but I was the main name and stressed I would like all correspondence. I understand it has to be sent to both but it was all sent to my daughter from solicitor which she didn't notice as it was in her spam email. This delayed us by 2 weeks I was very angry as william brown had given them the details. I received no explanation so I dealt with Black's solicitor if I wanted updates etc the were absolutely brilliant. For the money estate agent charged I expected better service. I was not going to give a review however after weeks of completion I received a call off william brown asking if I lived at my old address and would I be interested in selling!!! I can't believe they still had me in their books and did not know I had completed what utter horrible and inconsiderate service. Hopefully I will not be selling in the future but will think very careful about who will sell my house.

WH Brown has been managing my property for four and a half years. If problems occur they deal with them quickly and efficiently. Latterly I have dealt with Sarah Burt in whom I have every confidence and trust she will continue to liaise between tenants, contractors and myself in her quick and efficient way. Thanks Sarah!

Me and my family are currently renting a property which the landlord has now sold and we were treat quite poorly by them and the agency we came forward to William h brown to register our details for future properties and within a few days Jack Rudkin had found us a few for viewings we had a bit of a hard start but now we have finally got the original property we first ever viewed. So big thank you to Jack Rudkin for helping us especially with our dog as no landlords were keen to take any petsPositiveQuality, Value

I'm in process of purchasing property through Wisbech branch of William H Brown and so far I had fantastic experience with everyone involved especially Miranda. I had very complicated case regarding my mortgage and honestly I couldn't really see my mortgage going through due so many complications in my personal life. Miranda who is mortgage advisor in William H Brown Wisbech branch helped me tremendously to get to the finish line. If you are in similar situation or unsure about your mortgage options try give her a call to see what she can do.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

MIRANDA HORNE - Mortgage Advisor Miranda helped us from beginning to end of our sale and purchase process and we would honestly have been lost without her. There is someone doing the job they are being paid to do, and there is going above and beyond, and that was Miranda every time I contacted her. She ensured we fully understood the numbers and payments and all of the mortgage details that normally would go unexplained, she even booked in separate appointments to accommodate my partners working hours to ensure he understood everything too. Our house sold in less than 24 hours and we managed to find our perfect home in the space of a weekend, so the whole sale and purchase was a bit of a whirlwind, but Miranda ensured we knew what was going on along the way, answering all of my questions about the process and even helping us to secure the right insurance policies for us. Miranda has made what can be a daunting time that little easier. We would highly recommend her time and time again. Thank you Miranda :)PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Please take my advice and stay well away from these people. I have viewed a property through the Newark branch and made an offer to which I have waited over a week for a reply, only to call and be told it is sold with accompanying giggles.I arranged a viewing of another property and after a three-hour drive was told my fictious daughter had called and cancelled the viewing.There is something very wrong with these prople.

Please Please avoid the sudbury branch…

Please Please avoid the sudbury branch it seems that they put sold houses showing them as for sale and even keep up for the sale boards . I called about a property that has just been advertised on Rightmove only to be told it was sold two weeks ago and this is there internal process that they MUST advertise. This creates false advertising . Despite speaking to the Manager they feel what they are doing is correct , Rightmove is allowing this kind of behaviour.

Extremely unprofessional and…

Extremely unprofessional and disorganized team. I contacted this agency regarding a property to let. Michelle initially promised to arrange a viewing but never followed up. After chasing them myself, I finally spoke with another team member who scheduled a viewing, only for it to be for a completely different property than the one advertised on their website.

I believe in giving praise where praise…

I believe in giving praise where praise is due and Liam you definitely deserve praise as you are doing a great job as how you represent W H Brown is exemplary. Thank you for the fantastic service you gave my husband and I when we recently purchased our new property.You went out of your way to keep us up to date with the progress of the sale. You supported us with an extra viewing, replied to emails and always promptly returned our calls. You were always jolly and very helpful.I believe you went above and beyond your job description to ensure we had a fantastic experience in purchasing our home. For this Chris and I are truly grateful. Nothing was too much trouble. With your help we managed to purchase a property in just over 5 weeks, at a crazy busy time, probably the busiest time in the last ten years, thank you.The whole William H Brown team were so professional and helpful throughout our purchase. Well done William H Brown.

Smashed up my TV, denied it and laughed in my face

Below are a list of grievances and occasions when I believe you have deliberately mislead/not been honest with us as vendors, as well as the description of the criminal damage that has taken place at 41 Tonning Street.Upon our initial meeting Joe gave us a great deal of confidence in the sale of 41 Tonning Street. The phrases used included ‘We’ll put it at £150,000 to get people through the door’, ‘It will easily sell’, ‘we have people in bidding wars on properties’, ‘you should make sure the house is ready for viewings at a few hours notice’, ‘we understand that you are a teacher and we can contact you via email if it makes life easier for you’. Based on Joe’s confidence, we signed up with William H Brown, also trusting them as a high street name. However, it soon transpired that these were false promises. We have had three viewings on our property in three weeks, no offers and very little interest.Reflecting on the initial asking price, I believe that Joe pressured us into putting the house up for £150,000 in order to heighten the fixed sales fee at £1500 plus VAT. Instead of a realistic asking price that would’ve yielded a lower fixed fee.In addition to this, every time I call for an update, Jamie, Joe Lydia or whoever answers the phone assures me that they are talking to multiple investors and arranging viewings, however these viewings never appear. Having been arranging viewing for potential properties for myself to purchase, I know that when you call up you can generally arrange a viewing that phone call. It feels like you are fobbing us off and just telling us what we want to hear to get us off the phone.Furthermore, after a viewing on Saturday a few weeks ago, Jamie told us we would expect and offer by the end of the day. Jamie then never responded. I rang him on Monday and then Jamie changed his stance to ‘the investor was looking at one of three properties.’ The Jamie was going to ring him as soon as our call ended. However, I didn’t hear anything further.Following on from this, I was under the impression that Joe would be handling our sale but then it’s passed to Lydia, Jamie and god knows who else. I don’t know who I’m asking for when I call up, and I believe this this is done deliberately in order for William H Brown to pass clients around and deter communication.Another example of unprofessionalism is that when we had our first viewing (I think with Lydia but God knows who actually I was speaking to). We returned home to a house we had left immaculately, to find sugar all over the table as if someone had eaten their lunch or a pack of doughnuts at our dining room table and not bothered to clean up after themselves.It seams that Joe cannot commit to even the simplest promise, he took our house key to get it cut and copied with the promise that the original would be return on the first viewing. However, this was 4 weeks ago and we are still waiting for our original to be returned. We only live a 10 minute walk from William H Brown.Lastly, and most prominently, Lydia conducted a viewing on Friday, the 25th of June in which our 50 inch smart TV was smashed, by the looks of it in order to access the gas meter. This was outright denied by both Jamie and your area manager. However, my partner and I were both out of the house from 7 am until 6 pm on the days of the viewing and so Lydia and the viewing participants were the only people in the house. The comments of your area manager were, was laughing, phone the police then. I found the police who said it was a civil matter and that it wasn't a police matter. I think the way I've been treated is disgusting and the outright lies that I've been told are despicable. For future reference the correct way to deal with this is to find me a soon as it happens apologise and replace the item immediately. This would have resulted in me being very understanding as I'm aware that accidents happen. However the way that it has been dealt with is disgusting.I am utterly dissatisfied with the lack of service William H Brown have provided to use as vendors. You promise the earth and don’t even deliver a pebble. It’s disgusting and I feel taken advantage of as a first time seller.

4 to 5 Phone Calls A Week For 5 Months To Hussle An Instruction!

This company needs to be regulated, but the problem is there is no proper body that deals with Estate Agents behaviour prior to contract, and only then will the relevant Ombudsman step in, but without teeth, and only for the vendor! Before contract William H. Brown, once they get a sniff of a property, will begin to hassle, harass, hound, and hustle to get the instruction! This will usually begin with a phone number and address being on file, as was with my case, and someone, probably the manager, will tell one of the negotiators to call the number to see if the person is still looking or has anything to sell. This usually, if selling, corresponds with a look at Rightmove or Zoopla, where they see the property is on, has been on, and with another agent. Then the calls begin.... and continue! I stopped answering my land line, and blocked their number on my mobile, as one Thursday I received five calls on each devoice during the day, and three calls on both that evening, up until 7.00pm! That is pure harassment! The only reason they do this, is to GET the instruction, by whatever means! And why? Because for every instruction a standard negotiator gets, he or she receives a payment at the end of the month. The manager also receives a payment. The area manager also receives a payment! But beware: they also have a tie in contract of 30 weeks! They will try and charge 2%. And they are reluctant to agree to multi agency, and if they do will word a contract misleadingly, so the vendor could be liable for two sets of commission! Let's say you have been hooked, as you fell for the 100th phone call! The will then all make money on a mortgage appointment with their, so called, independent, in house mortgage broker. They will push their panel solicitors, and all make commission when one of them is used, too. Oh, and before any of this, they will charge a fee, which actually is illegal, masked as ''Professional photographer, video, and EPC''. This is around £135.00, maybe more. But, of course, you can claim that back.... IF you fall for their offer of one of their solicitors! But beware there, too: they are conveyancing companies, with a huge number of faceless individuals, who are not solicitors, but handlers. This means it is a factory, but a factory that goes slowly due to staff not being at all bothered!This estate agent is guilty of harassment, and hassle, and needs to be stopped from these constant phone calls, and we all should be aware it is all based on multi layered commission, and this all should be transparent!

I would not recommend William H Brown

I would not recommend William H Brown. There is a complete lack of organisation between contractors and William H Brown, meaning there are long delays everytime there is a problem with the house. If you don't continually call the office they seem to end up forgetting the problem.A few problems we have had:1. Promised a removal of a bunkbed before moving in- took 6 weeks once moving in to change to single. William H Brown never removed the old bunk bed- so now we have an old mattress and wooden remains in our house.2. We were left without heating when it was snowing for 5 days. Clearly no sense of urgency from William H Brown (even after many calls)3. Monthly emails detailing that we haven't paid the rent. Every month we call and there is an error. They promise to remove this error on a monthly basis. They have not removed this error after 6 months.
