William H Brown reviews

Relocating to a new area is always a worry however Lawrence and Harrison really took the stress out of it for us. Lawrence was really warm, friendly and helpful on the phone. He understood that viewings were difficult as we didn't live locally and was really accommodating in arranging an appointment. We met Harrison at the property who could not have been more welcoming. He was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us the time to explore the property. He went through our application with us and kept us informed every step of the way. We are extremely pleased with the service provided by both gentlemen and would highly recommend them. 5 ⭐️ plus from us

Avoid avoid avoid! I would hate for another family to go through what we have been through with this estate agents! Long story short as the review I have written doesn’t allow me to post due to the length: The rented property that William H Brown were happy to let our 2 children under the age of 3 live in, had water damage after a leak where they told us no damage was made, holes in the floor exposing pipes, dirty after they said it was professionally cleaned, including urine in the toilet, didn’t complete jobs that they assured us would be done, and happy to let landlords family turn up in a aggressive manner telling us to like it or lump it, that repairs wouldn’t be completed. We moved into the property and straight back out the same day, leaving us a week to find somewhere to live due to our previous tenancy about to end. Both Harrison and Lawrence dealt with us over this period, and we never even received an apology, and our emails ignored. When it was eventually agreed that our money be returned to us in full, it was delayed. Harrison ignored our chasing until he realised that the money had not been released on their end, this was the only apology we received. There was no apology from them regarding the situation and no apology for our children being left without a home. They show no compassion, tell you the landlord is the best they have and avoid you when they’ve messed up. F.I.Y if they give you a property and haven’t stuck to their part of the deal in making that house right as agreed, legally you have 90 days to withdraw and to receive all your money back. We wasn’t aware until we seeked legal advice, Lawrence only agreed this was the case after we mentioned it. If this is the best landlord they have, imagine what the worst is like! Avoid William H Brown! Complaint has been made, and awaiting response. Harrison was also informed of this where he responded ‘if you look back at your emails I did apologise, your more than welcome to go further’

Excellent service throughout the process of purchasing our new home. Ellie Davis was professional and friendly throughout, from accompanying us on our viewings of the property, to dealing with any questions that we had during the purchase process. Communication was first class with prompt responses to calls and emails. Thank you for supporting us throughout the process.

I had a very positive experience with this william h brown and would highly recommend their services. From the beginning, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and efficiency. They were always responsive, approachable, and willing to answer any questions I had throughout the process. Communication was clear and timely, which made everything run smoothly and stress-free. The entire experience, from arranging viewings to finalising the tenancy, was handled with great care and attention to detail. I particularly appreciated how supportive and organised the team was, ensuring that everything was completed without unnecessary delays. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service I received especially from harrison. Their professionalism and commitment to providing a good customer experience truly stood out.

Totally disrespectful to people who’ve suffered disabilities. I feel they have an inability to listen and refuse to remove a property from sale that they’ve shown no effort to sell, only ring me to keep asking me to reduce the selling cost constantly. They never rang me to provide feedback for viewings which, is also unfair seems they know I do not live there. The management have spoken to me rudely and tried to cover up my complaint. They don’t even seem to know you are allowed to withdraw from a sale if you feel you’ve been treated unfairly. I asked to have the property removed immediately today and got told it will take 15 days to respond to my complaint. Disgusting

The overall experience was very quick, efficient and simple in terms of getting the property and sorting all the checks for me to move in on time. However, as the inventory was done on the same morning I moved in, it meant it was not noted there was no heating oil and this then took 4 days to arrive- with 2 children in the home this was not ideal and not unknown that I had children. I feel this should have been topped up before I moved in given this was winter and came as a hidden expense to me.

Over the years I have sold houses with this branch and used the same company in the area as both a landlord or tenant. Having worked in sales / service before starting my own company I appreciate the demands on time & commercial targets. In recent years we have regular cold calls from the office asking if they can rent or sell my cottage. At times this is a nuisance by the high frequency and constant turn over of staff. For private reasons it’s now time to sell or rent so I had decided last week to reach out and invite a visit to discuss either sale or rental. After 48hr Lawrence did leave me a brief voicemail to discuss rental but the note was a little disjointed and lacked enthusiasm. On the Monday first thing I left a note to invite a call back to pin down a meeting. Interested to know about no fault eviction with an expert. End of the day nothing, spoke to Morgan in the office and registered my concerns about slow service. We confirmed the need to turn the page with new energy and have a meeting to discuss either sale or rental. I’m an Airbnb host with professional images and a window with no guests to allow full access. All day nothing from the branch. Somewhat exasperated by the lack of professionalism or integrity to either follow up or make contact from a manager. Close of day - just before six I have an email to say they’ve been busy. Perhaps too busy for new listings so I will politely decline and be honest on the next cold call prospect night. Very dysfunctional branch.

We were extremely impressed with Harrison Woolner’s service. Harrison managed the end-to-end lettings process with real professionalism - clear advice, fast and accurate communication, and a strong sense of ownership throughout. Importantly, he kept all parties aligned, removed friction at each step, and made what could have been a stressful move feel straightforward. The turnaround was exceptional: our offer was accepted, we were let agreed, and moving dates were confirmed within 72 hours. That level of delivery reflects more than speed; it demonstrates process discipline, prioritisation, and effective coordination across multiple stakeholders. Harrison represents William H Brown exceptionally well and, in my view, shows the capability and mindset for increased responsibility as his career progresses. Thank you again for all your help and for being part of our journey. We’re genuinely excited for the next step, and you made a real difference.

We are just about to complete on our first home and William H Brown have been great. Zoe Leeper is our main point of contact and she has been brilliant. Always available for a call/email. As first time buyers, there were a couple of bits we wanted some guidance with and Zoe was very helpful. No question was silly & all answered so we could understand 100%. Zoe also came out last minute to allow us to view the property again before deciding to purchase. Thank you ☺️ we have also used Laura for our mortgage who was also very helpful. Thank you both! 🏡

Zoe has supported me every step of the way throughout the transaction with her professionalism, expertise and friendliness. She went above and beyond expectations. I couldn't have wished for more. Thank you Zoe. I should also like to thank Nicola and Hannah for smoothing the way for me. I can't imagine how I would have managed without their help and calm, professional manner.

Stuart went to see my mum in Roydon to value her property, as she was moving into sheltered accommodation. Mum "connected" with him straight away, and despite have 2 other valuers, she wanted to have Stuart help sell the bungalow. I found him and Chloe very approachable, they always returned my calls if they were not available when I rang the office. It was incredibly stressful for mum(and myself working on mums behalf), and both Stuart and Chloe were great at relieving us of some of the stress.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Our recent experience with this company when purchasing our new home was very satisfying. I would like to thank all the staff especially Zoe Leeper for their total professionalism. Zoe in particular showed us around the property and was able to answer all our questions, she kept us informed throughout and contacted us to share any relevant information on a regular basis. She was definitely on the case from start to completion. If you are looking to buy or sell a property we highly recommend W.H.Brown.

Whilst they were professional, efficient and courteous, they were not remotely effective at selling my house. I had it on the market almost 6 months (the best months of the year) and they only managed a handful of what I would call serious viewings. In the end I marketed it myself through an online agent and it cost me £295, compared to the 4k I would have been charged in commission which I am seriously struggling to see what added value I would have got for that.
