They booked in a viewing to a place that was already taken.Viewing was at 2 o'clock and they never messaged me about the place being taken off the market (Renting) call them all morning and nothing. So we thought we would turn up to the viewing, because why wouldn't you to the pace you feel like you want to move into. Only to be told after the viewing time had lapsed and 5 none answered phone calls, that the place has already got some tenants moving in. How hard is it for a company to ring you or email you telling you the place you have a viewing for, is gone. I emailed to complain and no reply to even say sorry. The lady on the phone hung up on me while I was asking a question, is there any other places around this area that are up for renting. Honestly, so poor, and do not use.

Just bought a property through Kyle and JBrown. Kyle was extremely polite and helpful throughout this whole process and made it so much easier for me. He was knowledgable about the property and answered every question I asked. If I was to buy another property I would be phoning Kyle at JBrown first!

Zara was proactive, well organised and very professional in helping us to find tenants. She was always quick to respond to our questions and enquiries, and within a couple of weeks had found us three prospective families interested in renting our house. Zara is a friendly person, easy to deal with and down to earth. It was a pleasure doing business with her!

Great service from Emma

We a great experience working with Emma. She secured a sale quickly and was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. When a legal issue with the land registry threatened to delay things, she remained calm and worked closely with us and the buyer to ensure everything completed on time, avoiding any extra stamp duty in the process. Friendly, proactive, and professional from start to finish. Highly recommended.

JBrown, calm and professional.

The estate agent from JBrown was always available to meet at the property and replied to my enquiries promptly and frankly, a refreshing experience after meeting so many estate agents willing to say anything to make the sale.

I had such a lovely experience with J Brown thanks to Zara, I couldn't have asked for a better agent!! To say she went above and beyond for me is an understatement. She made the process straight forward, efficiently resolved any issues and kept me informed every step of the way. Would definitely recommend!

I had no expectations when I walked into the office and did little research on who to manage my property. Within a very short time it was clear I had made a very good choice. James has been outstanding, his professionalism is 10/10. Very approachable and helpful. I would fully recommend his services. James thank you for making the process easy and stress free.PositiveProfessionalism

Can't fault this company

Can't fault JBrown when they sold a relatives house for me via probate sale. We couldn't get up to London because of the distance but they helped sort out clearance, gutter repair etc and kept us informed at every step. Emma particularly was extremely helpful with pulling ends together and being there if we had any questions or problems. I really cannot recommend them enough. They made a very stressful time for us as stress free as it could be!

After a difficult experience with a previous tenant and agent I contacted J Brown and spoke with James. He met with me at my property very quickly and my property was let within two days to great new tenants. James was very understanding about my previous experience and extremely professional knowledgeable and efficient. I would highly recommend this agent !PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Fantastic services from beginning till the end of the process - from the very first appointment to discuss rental prices of houses in SE25, through marketing the property, finding the right tenants for my house and closing the deal. Comprehensive services including maintenance of the property & tenants. Very knowledgeable & professional team. Thank you James & Zara! Patrycja

From the very start I had a fantastic experience with JB Brown. From the initial consultation to the final signing, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. Their team went above and beyond to find me the perfect property within my budget, and their communication was prompt and clear throughout the process. I highly recommend them and would be happy to use them in the future. Thank you for making my experience stress-free and enjoyable!

James was a blessing

James was a blessing! I previously let my property out to a questionable company who offered guaranteed rent - turns out they were just listing my property on airbnb! James managed to sort it all out and find me the perfect tenants

I rented a property through JBrown. Special shoutout to Emma for being extremely kind and patient throughout my deposit and rent refund process. Really appreciate Jbrown for appointing a person like Emma.

James and the team at JBrown come highly recommended -- I used a few agents to let out my property and they were by far the most responsive, professional and friendly to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for my property letting needs.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

I dealt with James Hutton at J Brown Estate Agents and he went above and beyond what was expected. Simply a joy to work with and would recommend their commitment, dedication and skill set to anyone.

Lots of issues with right now. Renting Aveline on the ridge way in Croydon and it’s problem after problem. JBrown used to be great when we rented in Greenwich but for 12 the ridge way, it has been so poor. Leaks, mould, sewage, fire alarms, wrong electrical wiring, 3 bedroom instead of 4 as advertised, sharp building materials in the garden. Nothing is sorted after 6 months of chasing. Landlord comes inside the property whenever he wants and JBrown doesn’t do anything.

After googling different estate agents we came across JBrown Estate Agents and spoke to James. James was amazing from the beginning and so hands on. He made the experience so easy going which was what we needed as amateur landlords. Would definitely recommend!

Such a horrible company to get in contact with. Had a lot of properties for rent that I was interested in viewing. Tried calling them on multiple occasions and days with no answer. And the one time they did reply, they took my details down and said they’d give me a call back. It’s been a week since then and nothing from them. Absolutely awful experience, especially since properties go so quickly. Avoid at all costs, I would give them 0 stars if I could
