Brown and Merry Hemel Hempstead reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

My experience dealing with Brown & Merry has been nothing short of excellent. Eliot in lettings was always available to contact and was helpful, informative, polite and patient at all times. I have dealt with some less than professional estate agents in my life but Brown & Merry are not one of them! I would wholly recommend working with Brown & Merry for any future property arrangements.

I have used Brown and Merry for a rental property in Hemel Hempstead for more than 8 years. Stephen and Eliot are a great team. They are very responsive, give impartial advice, find good tenants, provide tenancy contracts and provide a link to the deposit scheme. Highly recommend them as a rental agent. Their sales team are also very good. They thoroughly check the property before adverting, give advice on the best time to market, are proactive with viewings and offer realistic expectations of final sale prices. 5/5 for Brown and Merry!

Thanks team for selling our home, quickly and painlessly. Jamie was very knowledgeable and professional. Viewed a number of new homes with members of the team; Jake was amazing! When we arrived at houses he listened to what we were after and took it on board, he worked with us to find our new home. He kept an eye out for other properties that met our requirements and unlike a number of other firms they actually met our requirements.

As a landlord of a property in Hemel Hempstead that I have been letting with Brown & Merry for the last 10 years. I have never had any issues with my tenants until recently when due to Stephen Counden and Eliot Mortimer's quick response we managed to mitigate the situation before it got worse. I cannot thank them both enough for their support and effort made to come to a good outcome for all. This was extremely stressful for both me and them included and I really feel they went over and above what was expected. Thanks again to you both

Top class property sales service

We do not believe we could have chosen a better estate agent to market and sell our investment property. Living abroad as we do, we needed an agent who would provide an efficient sales service and give us the comfort that we had someone with the requisite knowledge and also act in our best interests. We cannot speak highly enough of Mason Janes, Branch Manager of Brown and Merry Stony Stratford, and his sales team. From initial valuation right through to completion, they provided us with an exceptionally high level of service and support. We have nothing to criticise or complain about. We have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

I gave them my number.. Big Mistake.

I asked for an evaluation.. this was fine.. no problems.. but I chose a different agent and now 4 months later they still regularly phone me up, once even saying "hello , this is your estate agent".. errr NO... they are abusing the fact that I gave them my number and now I cannot get rid of them.. Wish I had never done so. I am now apart of their ' any phone call is work' policy. B&M are owned by connels and the BBC has a page about their dubious sales tactics. They have a tv show about it also.

I regret to say that my experience with Brown & Merry was extremely disappointing. Despite expressing interest in a property and putting forth an offer, I found myself having to relentlessly chase them for almost two weeks just to get a response. My inquiries regarding important aspects of the property were consistently ignored, leaving me feeling neglected and frustrated. To add insult to injury, I was informed that the property had been sold at the asking price, which I later discovered was not the case. Upon further investigation, I learned that the property was indeed sold for the exact amount I had offered, casting doubt on the integrity of their dealings. This leads me to suspect some form of favoritism or manipulation within the agency, which is deeply troubling. Given this unsatisfactory experience and the lack of transparency in their operations, I have lost all trust in Brown & Merry and will not be engaging their services again. I urge others to exercise caution when dealing with this agency to avoid similar disappointments.

Genuinely one of the best things I've done all year is ask Naz at Brown & Merry Hemel Hempstead to help with my mortgage application for a house move. Besides being extremely knowledgeable about all things mortgage, Naz maintains excellent communication - she is very clear, responsive, concise, keeps you informed, advises in a constructive way, and is just an absolute pleasure to speak to every time. I will absolutely be using Brown & Merry Hemel Hempstead mortgage team services for life and am an extremely happy customer! I had paid a broker company years ago for lifetime membership but they weren't great, so opted to speak to the mortgages team at the recommendation of Brown & Merry Watford team (who were selling my flat). I had a very good first impression and felt positive about things from the very first call with Naz, and I am so glad I did - I cannot recommend her enough and am extremely lucky and grateful to have had her expert representation to secure my mortgage - now just looking forward to moving in (eventually)!

Jamie, Tom and Kevin, Thank you all so much. From your straightforward pitch, and advice on photos and preparing house for sale, to getting it up on the website, every interaction, was professional, pleasant, and simple. They conducted the viewings, which imho keeps the personal, out of it, and I sure do not know how to do their job. I had an offer 1 week after the property went live, and confirmed one day later!!!! Wow, that was simple. Best advice, listen to the experts about the 'price'. Saved myself a lot of time and energy.

Eliot was extremely helpful talking me through my first time renting. Easiest conversation over the phone and so chill. If you’re looking to rent and you have no idea what you’re doing, call Eliot!

The lettings team treat customers really well. Elliott was very helpful on the phone where most other agents would have hung up wanted to give 5 stars just because of that small difference. Thank you.

Possibly the worst estate agents I have ever come across.. very little communication from them after viewings to which I sat in on a few and they hadn't a clue on how to sell a property, constantly left lights on when viewings were conducted(whilst I was at work I even left notes by the door to remind them to turn off lights)and was then told by Kevin that this never happened.I quickly realised after 3 months how appalling this branch of Brown and Merry were and swiftly gave them 28days notice I went with another local estate agents in Hemel Hempstead and sold within 5 weeks (full asking price) I have also seen other properties on the development where I live still on the market with them after eight months I wonder if this is because there sales rate per month is very poor indeed...Avoid at all costs!!

Useless marketing skills

Despite their friendly and professional appearance, this company (Wendover branch) have proved to be all but incompetent in marketing our family home. Having redecorated the whole house to improve our sale potential, B & M failed to take any fresh photos of the house for 3 weeks! They then bungled the renewed photo set by mixing the previous photos with the new ones, making it visually a dogs dinner. Lastly the quality of the photographs was extremely poor - not highlighting any good features, not close enough, pictures of a floor, or focussing on a bed. Absolutely useless.
