I cannot recommend William H Brown…

I cannot recommend William H Brown highly enough, especially Sophie and Nichola, who have been absolutely fantastic throughout the process of letting my property. Their patience, professionalism, efficiency, and dedication were truly impressive.From the moment my property was valuated and listed by Sophie, both ladies have kept me well-informed, handled everything seamlessly, and found a suitable tenant within just a few days! Their knowledge of the market, proactive communication, patience with my numerous questions, and attention to detail made the entire process stress free.Thank you, Sophie and Nichola, for your hard work and commitment. I look forward to working with you again in the near future!

Headingley Branch were fantastic

Headingley Branch were fantastic with my recent move. My first contact was with Reiss who was helpful and proactive form the start which set my mind at ease. If he wasnt able to take my call at any time then the other members of the team, Daisy and Lauren, were always able to help. I felt confident that whoever I spoke to was able to give me the correct information and I was kept informed of the need for any further information required from me. Moving house is very stressful but the team at WHBrown made it really easy. Cannot reccomend them enough.

Lauren has been such a joy to work with. She has been incredibly positive and down-to-earth, making the process as a first-time buyer much less daunting.

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

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.

Many thanks to the whole team at Downham Market. All enquiries were dealt with both quickly and efficiently and we were kept fully informed through the different stages of our house sale. Karen looked after our sale and I am very grateful to her and Katie for their positivity and support as my stress levels fluctuated through the process. However it is Charlie who we credit with selling our property. I met Charlie when he visited the house for discussions prior to conducting the viewings. It was hard handing over the keys but Charlie was very respectful and I had confidence and trust in him from the outset. He too was always very positive, efficient and conducted himself in a professional manner. I would recommend this branch to other vendors.

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.

this company are self deluding idiots, I reported a fault on the rented property that should be a high priority to get in fix in accordance with the law but four four months it was ignord, then when some one finanly showed up he tried to like about the highgen (I have time stampted photos of the area that poove he was lieing) the the "repair man they insit on sending is a foul mouths arogant and disrispectful idiot who donse extremly slopy work and when he was told to stop swearing at me and talking to me like I'm dog dirt he esculated his aggression towards me complaining to this company about his atrocious the tried to say that I was being rude and abusive yet another lie from this delusian factory, they refuse to recognise that a customer complain about bad and unethical buisness practises is not customers being rude or abusive its totaly legitimate to complaint when they leave a room raining in for SEVEN months! telling them the laws they are breaching is not being rude or abusive it is stating the facts of what the laws says, it is mind boggling that this company is not under criminal investigation for its misconduct

So we had called up about a property, they had said they hadn’t received the keys 3 weeks ago and promised view of the house well finding out today because we have animals and they are not allowed to refuse these without a legal reason, and now refuse to speak to myself I have recorded the calls this is an example of bad customer service

Terrible level of service

We listed our house for sale and we're trapped into a 20 week lock in period. No contact from the agent, only 2 viewings in 3 months. No service whatsoever and then when we try to extricate ourselves their so called termination letter says they would still be entitled to their fee. Shocking service would avoid completely in the future.

If I could give less than one star for…

If I could give less than one star for the penistone branch, I would. We rearranged to view a property. The lady we spoke to in the office was most unhelpful very annoyed because we gave her a few dates for our visit and it was almost as if we were putting her out because she had to contact the vendor to arrange it! when we finally arranged the visit the vendor never turned up so we were stood waiting for an hour. We’ve never once been contacted by the estate agency since to find out how the visit went , so presumably they’re not interested in whether the vendor wants to sell their house or not .Maybe the staff for the Penistone branch could do with a little bit more customer service training, we would never use this estate agent again.

Cheated out of £5000. Disgrace.

We have just bought a property from them. We agreed to pay full asking price, cash, immediately, as long as it was a direct sale and did not go through the auction process. On completion, we were charged over £5000 for an Auction and Auctioneers fees which did not happen. I have to take legal action.

So me and my husband were looking to re locate to Norfolk and it’s been so stressful with trying to find somewhere! We contacted William h brown about a property we liked to arrange a viewing, the day of the viewing I was greeted by Shannon at the house who was so friendly and professional. She was very very helpful and was able to answer all my questions. When we got the call to say the landlord had accepted us as tenants she was as excited as us 😬 from day one the whole team at William h brown were fantastic. Nothing was ever too much trouble right up until we collected our keys! Shannon is a credit to your team and I have no doubt she will continue to make others happy with her fantastic service!!!!!! Thank you so muchPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Bold claim to be professional letting…

Bold claim to be professional letting agents. There is a Valid reason the top and quality partners moved away and opened their own business. Poor people skills at best. That's the kindest thing I can say, as the racism and prejudice is palbable. First hand witness and experience. This company whatever subsidiary it may be, seems to be white washed from the stone ages.
