TrustpilotUnderhand
I tried to sell a property through this company at auction and they had some very interesting views on the value. I said I would take my business elsewhere and the next day the local branch phoned me to try to get me to get the property put on the general sales market through their branch. I politely refused because their actions were very underhand. They have rung me weekly for a year since in one guise or another trying to get my business.

TrustpilotWilliam H Brown
William H Brown - Scunthorpe. Initially , friendly staff but as time elapsed it became evident they weren’t interested in my plight as a tenant. However it was only until very recently I realised that one staff member in particular considered it acceptable to make stuff up and frankly her motives in hindsight seem racist. It’s not a word I use lightly either. I would be very concerned if you were to rent a property with this company and specifically this branch. Whilst I have absolutely zero proof to validate my opinion , the overwhelming feeling I have as a result of dealing with this person’s lies isn’t going to go away in a hurry.

TrustpilotWilliam Brown of Swaffham and William…
William Brown of Swaffham and William Brown Auctioneer facilitated viewings and offers behind my back after a sale was agreed with me under private treaty. They lied to me when I questioned why the advert had not been removed, assured me time and time again that the property would not be shown and that no more offers would be allowed, and finally just a few weeks before completion called me to say that they had allowed and taken a bid under "auction conditions" and that unless I met with all terms of this including being prepared to pay the auctioneer fees and giving an immediate deposit and to close within 28 days including forgoing my solicitors input ( which was already weeks in progress) I would loose the purchase. I made a formal complaint but had no concrete evidence in writing and the staff at the Swaffham branch closed ranks, lied, and said that they had never assured me that my purchase was safe. It has cost me thousands of pounds because I have had to rent now while looking for another property.

I highly recommend William H Brown Stevenage. Jack Elston has made the sell of my property and move hassle free. So polite and quick to answer any questions. Thank you Jack for all you and your team have done.

TrustpilotLettings yes. Property management no.
Although they managed to let out all of our properties reasonably quickly, their property management was abysmal. They gave repair work to contractors who were expensive with very poor quality work. Sometimes they were the friends and family of the staff.We had to appoint a different property management company who now is far more reliable and trustworthy.

TrustpilotTammy , the superstar from Scunthorpe.
We have just moved house and relocated back to the UK .Tammy from the Scunthorpe branch was simply amazing. From start to finish she was helpful, supportive and understanding. She made what could have been stressful experience a very simple and enjoyable one.Thanks Tammy , you’re a superstar.

TrustpilotOver One Year for Nothing
Around one year ago, we were interested in a house and the seller A accepted our offer.Then after over half a year, almost all the procedures went through, the seller's solicitor stopped replying to our solicitor but reassured that they're sorting the last enquiry out.After one month, the estate agent contacted us that the seller declined to sell the house and the staff from the estate agent apologised quite sincerely. Someone senior from the estate agent gave some information of a similar property around the same area to us.We both found this house quite met our expectation so we expressed our interest and the house seller B accepted our offer within one week.As this house B is a no chain house, we expected the procedures can go through more quickly than last time. However, the enquiries have taken more than four months and there is still two outstanding enquiries. We did try to ask what the last two enquiries were but not getting any response.William H Brown is a liar as the house B suddenly becomes a chained property during the conveyancing process.

GoogleI found the Sales Team at William H Brown, Princes St., Ipswich, excellent. The Residential Sales Manager was professional, knowledgeable and approachable. She worked very hard and gave much of her time to finalize the sale of my property. I will always be grateful and recommend her and the Team unreservedly.

TrustpilotHarassment on another level
My wife provided my contact details to William H Brown on Rightmove when looking at a house we were interested in. When we explained our situation to them they said they would take my details off their records. 3 months on and I'm still getting weekly calls from them, even after saying under GDPR regulations I want them to remove all records they have of my personal information. I've decided now to report them to the ICO as enough is enough.

TrustpilotShocking
Shocking , they do not tell the truth then when we wanted to leave bullied us to threatening court action if we left , 5 people looked at our house 4 did not even have their houses on the market , would not release us from contract and then kept telling us to reduce the price after they valued it 40 odd thousand more , 4 months of hell and making the whole experience stressful and wasting our time !!!!! I have sold many houses and never had such an awful agents bar one staff member who was genuinely nice to us but still was not honest .

TrustpilotAvoidx100! William H Brown & Sequence Home
The entire business management is managed so poorly that I am amazed how they are still in operation. I am a landlord and used William H Brown (Sequence Home) as a lettings agency to fully manage my property. Whilst the front looks professional, but once onboarded with them, the full management services are sub-standard. They are slow in responding but when they needed the money off you - it is on time. Custom them if you want to be scammed with false promises. Even as it stands, they are withholding £200 of my money, and when I queried it, they said that it was for an unpaid inventory checkout service of £162: (i) I'd paid it with receipt as proof, and (ii) £200 vs £162 - clearly they need to pay a trip to specsavers. This has been dragging since Nov 2022 - and I don't believe I'll have the £200 back.
