I had dealings with the Leicester office at Halford street and Robert Anderson dealt with my selling of my house and I have never met someone who was so committed and determined he dealt with all my stressful moments both his staff and especially Robert was their to wipe away my worse fears it was a difficult property but I still managed to achieve the market value I can’t thank them enough for all their commitment and. Hard work their fees were hard earnt.i definitely will be going back to them for future sales

Trustpilot5 STARS ALL THE WAY!
5 STARS ALL THE WAY!They all helped me so much ESPECIALLY Vincenza. Megan was also delightful and very informative, as was Jackie and Annabelle. (forgot the names of the rest of staff who helped, many apologies!)Regardless of the occasional hiccup, they made sure i was always informed and kept in the full picture of the situation.Vincenza went beyond the call of duty to make sure all requirements were met and i left very satisfied and now am in my dream home!Big thanks to all at the Chesterfield branch for dealing with my queries in a polite and professional manner, despite how busy they were. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be using again.5 stars!Thankyou!

TrustpilotSales pressure , poor company
Ok I asked william h brown to sell my property months ago.The sales person on 2 occasions didn't reply back to my messages so I decided to finish with them and collected my house key from their branch in Norwich. After that I have been inundated with calls about selling the house and they even told me I had a viewing which I cancelled .My point is this , they don't communicate with each other and their is so much pressure in sales that they just keep ringing round without thinking.This is generated by the manager in Norwich and i can safely say they are the worst estate agents I have dealt with.Do not deal with them especially the Norwich branch .

TrustpilotAfter recently dealing the Broxboune
After recently dealing the Broxboune, Hertfordshire branch for my Son’s first mortgage with Ricky and the purchase of his first property, my Son & I are both very happy with the level of service and Ricky’s attention to detail was second to none. He certainly went above & beyond!Ricky was extremely helpful, as not only did he explain the entire mortgage process to my Son but he gave his time and expertise to secure my Son’s purchase. I would highly recommend his services to anyone and my Son will be highly recommending him to his friends.

TrustpilotGarbage wh brown Doncaster
What can I say about this company in Doncaster. I bought a ground floor flat and the flat above me only 2 high was bought by someone on a normal mortgage to let out, so far I've had a drug dealer illegal immigrants and now someone who's a self employed painter and decorator. Iv had these issues out with brown who say it's not their responsibility and to get local authorities out for the constant banging from upstairs, smoking canabis on my doorstep, fag burns in my window sill sat outside talking while 2am when I'm up every day at 6 for work. They are quite happy to take the rent percentage but ask them anything else and you've no chance. How does someone get away with storing paint in a flat and tools, I mean how would someone go on in a fire situation. All I can say is that they rent out to anyone they can regardless of the strain in other residents mental health. I wouldn't use these if they were the only ones in my area. Totally disgusting un professional attitude. I'm having to move now at 56 and I own it I don't need this garbage. Only put 1 star or it wouldn't let me review otherwise it would be minus 5.

TrustpilotAppalling costumer service.
Irang to try to book a viewing but all they were interested in was to offer me a broker and to get my email address. They said they will get in touch with the owner to arrange the viewing and will call me back. Nobody rang me so I called them again after two days and it was the same they said will sort out the viewing and call me back. Another two days have past and still no one got in touch about my inquiry. Appalling customer services.

I am deeply disappointed with the service provided by WHB, which has unfortunately fallen far from the reputable company it once was. Over the past two months, I have encountered a pattern of misinformation and delays regarding the return of deposits for students who are simply trying to secure housing and move forward with their lives. Despite repeated assurances that the deposit would be released soon, there has been no progress, leaving students and their families in a challenging position.Several parents, myself included, have escalated this matter to the Ombudsman due to the unfulfilled commitments and lack of transparency. I urge WHB to reflect on the impact of these actions on students and their families, who place their trust in the company.I sincerely hope that WHB takes this feedback seriously and works to regain the trust it once commanded in the industry.

TrustpilotDoncaster branch
Took over an hour to get through on the phone to arrange a viewing. Got to the viewing and 5 other people were booked in to view at the same time so felt rushed around the house. Estate agent there knew nothing about the property. Rang to put an offer in as we left and were told it would be put in when the rest of the viewings that day had finished, missed out on our dream house because they tried to start a bidding war

Trustpilottime wasting agents and sellers
Lesson number 1 : Do not view a house if the agent / seller is not giving basic details such as dimensions. Lack of photos is a no no. Yes we knew all of the above, but the property ticked a few boxesWe were alert to a pumping sound from the cellar, went down to investigate and found a cellar with ( presumably), a spring running underneath. House very delapidated. Was the condition in the price? Arguably not!!The house should have been advertized more honestly. Afterall, one can hardly get builders with full order books to quote for jobs, where one has no accessTotal waste of our time

Was pressurised into signing up to sell my property after doing so I cancelled the agreement within 24 hours . I had paid a fee upfront which I was informed by the branch had been spent already on floor plans and photographer and EPC .The photographer rang me himself and apparently he wasn't aware he had been paid ! I wrote to head office and was informed that they had contacted the branch and instructed them to refund me in full .That was on 16th October now 26 November and no refund!! I would not recommend this company and avoid .

TrustpilotBarking
Barking: A very impolite and unhelpful property specifically Daivad and Gary. Daivad was very very rude and so unprofessional. I paid for the refereeing and my referencing went through however as per their words the landlord decided to not rent the flat to me after the referencing. They didn't pay my money back although my documents were not on fault. I would never recommend this property to anyone, as you have seen other reviews as well make sure you keep your distance from this property

TrustpilotNhants town centre branch bad! The Kingsley one far better
I think the amount of bad reviews is resounding. Mine is for Northampton town centre branch. Never ever again. They do not get you the best price for your house, they pitch you into accepting the price they think is correct, then don’t do any more viewings. Their sales negotiators are about 12 years old, have all the cliche sayings. They call you non stop for your house then once you’re on the market with them their contact ceases until they want a price reduction. They can certainly talk the talk but not walk the walk. On the flip side however the other Northampton branch is lovely, the employees their are calm and understanding. It’s a shame I couldn’t transfer my business to them.

The company is really terrible, the Nottingham branch. They claim to manage properties on behalf of landlords but they don’t communicate complaints from tenants to the landlords regarding the property.

TrustpilotDon’t even think about it...
I am a landord who made the mistake to take the full service with them. I thought they were good considering also how high their rates are but in reality they are the worst I have dealt with. Management is being done from a central office not in the same city and no one of course mentioned that when signing the contract. They have costed me more than 1k in repairs due to unacceptably late reactions after a water pipe leaked (they repaired it after a week and all the repairs walls, painting etc took them more than 3 months. Everything started moving after I gave notice to end the contract early (which is 2 months), when the manager took over. A real shame for such a big company. I made the mistake to ask them to do the check out as it was their job even after I ended early and they messed it so badly I regreted it. The only thing they are good at is finding you tenants but I am not sure I want to go back now after such a mess.

TrustpilotLong and drawn out
I am in a chain and the sale is nearly completed, so the agents keep telling me. This has been going on for months! I keep getting fobbed off with excuses as to what the hold up is and am not sure I really trust these agents anymore.Already called over six times in a week asking to speak with someone who knows the chain but are unavailable. Each time I rang I was told that a message would be passed on and would get back to me. This didn't happen. They can't be bothered about you as the customer! Extremely unreliable. Will not recommend them to anyone.

I have had a lovely experience with Williamhbrown; Gina Comerford has been very efficient and helpful. Overall there is a lack of communication throughout the office as I am due to move into a rental property next week. Yet someone from the company rang me today to ask if I was still looking for somewhere. This have been very stressful and frustrating as they should have known this information already.

TrustpilotSudbury branch - not impressed
The initial contact and marketing of the property was professional and efficient, despite various additonal payment schemes proposed which were barely disguised attempts to increase their commission.The so called liaison, post offer, was not consistent, not particularly helpful and seemed to be weighted in favour of the buyer rather than the seller paying the commission. Contact was by phone only with voicemail messages left containing no information just a request to call the agent's office - email would have been more convenient and enabled an audit trail.

TrustpilotShocking - do not use
This is in relation to Sowerby Bridge Branch Halifax, in particular Ed the Senior manager and Hannah who we have sadly dealt with.Please do not use this branch or company. They are simply the worst estate agent I have ever come across. In short, they lie, don't contact you or respond to your contact & try pressure/force you to use their recommended solicitor firm, who I'm sure they receive a payment from which they don't tell you, the buyer also experienced this pressure.if you don't use their solicitors they refuse to contact your solicitors or say they 'cannot contact them as you didn't use ours'.It has been 10 weeks since we or the buyer of the house had any contact from W H browns, they feel this is acceptable. If we hadn't have sorted things directly with the buyer ourselves the sale would have fallen through, 100%. They feel it is also ok to not respond to emails for over 10 weeks from the buyer who needed urgent help.They lie, they blame you for their mistakes and lack of service & also don't follow their own groups complaint procedure, ie don't advise you of your rights with the property ombudsman.Please do not use this company, use someone else who actually cares and doesn't just see it as there job to put your house on right move.

TrustpilotWorst experience ever !!! Expensive - unprofessional / lack of communications etc DONT USE !!!
Shocking service !!!Would not recommend Nottingham city branch !!!Poor communications , no responding to emails - shockingly expensive compering to other estate agents.Rude and sarcastic over the phone.I wouldn’t use u at all if I could - but I had to sell my property ASAP that’s why had to handle with all your unprofessional behaviour.Didn’t have time to swap estate agents otherwise would do it without any doubt !Only care about money - customer is not important at all - after sale they didn’t even bother calling and asking how things went only how much I need to pay and when to give the keys to the buyer. Told my solicitor they highest fee for sale.When we agreed a smaller price - couldn’t change that fee for weeks as the branch manager was always unavailable - and every other staff member in that branch knew only about the highest fee not what I agreed with the branch manager - lack of communications !!!Will never use them again !!!Recommend staying away from them other people as well !

Norwich Select. Shockingly inept. Failed to do even the most basic checks on purchasers, tortuous to deal with, never return calls. I resorted to dealing direct with the purchaser after managing through fb to getprivate mobile . Do not trust these people, they are incapable of anything. The worst organisation I have ever come across. I complained about our bill of over 7 k and they offered to take £100 off ! Told them no, you keep it as I feel able to now to give you the reviews you deserve . Branch manager Gareth is particularly useless, and just lied throughout

Leicester Branch - I have had a very stressful time both selling and buying a new home. Robert kept me informed with my new home every step of the way. Nothing was too much hassle for him, he always tried to find resolutions and made me feel at ease with the process even though he was not getting paid for his time from me as I was the buyer. Thank you

TrustpilotRotherham branch
Rotherham branch - not even competent enough to manage the first basic step - turning up for an appointed viewing! While I was bombarded with texts & emails confirming & reminding me of my viewing appointment, this estate agent didn't even turn up for said viewing appointment. A representative turned up over 20 minutes later, only because I rang to say no one from WHB was there! And when the rep appeared, she didn't have the right key!!! Although very apologetic, no reason or explanation could be offered. In total, 1 hour of our time on a friday evening was wasted not viewing a property. Please, please, if you can't even get the basics right, get out of the property business.

TrustpilotWill never use them again
Rented an apartment in Huddersfield from the Huddersfield branch. After 11 months gave notice to move because we just had endless issues with them not fixing the heating. They took 16 weeks to give us our deposit back. They kept on saying put in writing then waiting 4 weeks then chasing to be told the same thing again and again. Ended up reporting them to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme to get our money back. Shame on you. Disgusting company. We will never use them again.
