​I want to express my sincere gratitude to the team at William H. Brown, particularly Finn and Buster. The entire process of finding and securing a property was incredibly quick and seamless, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with both of them. ​From the very beginning, they were welcoming and approachable, with a warm and friendly professionalism that immediately put me at ease. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and were never judgmental, which made all the difference. ​Finn and Buster are a true credit to William H. Brown Lettings, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free and positive experience. Justin

A very friendly, professional and helpful company. In the initial stages, they were really quick to arrange viewings and I got an offer on my flat within three weeks - but that was just the beginning! I'd like to recognise Thomas Simpson in the post-sales team, he was so helpful in pushing the conveyancing along and I also credit him with keeping me calm when we were dealing with unexpected enquiries. It was great to have a contact who I could call with any concerns and who could relay messages to the buyers. Thomas was always reassuring, consistent with his communication and uplifting to speak with - a real asset to your team!

When i found my dream flat in the city centre , Buster jumped on it straight away by setting up a good relationship with the landlord . Very easy to work with ,friendly approach , He is likeable and always smiling and i couldn’t be happier with him .If want a personable ,helpful , and communicative agent , i highly recommend Buster Blore . All the best in your future endeavours Buster & Merry Christmas to you and yours . And if you happen to go to Fiji one day - Give me a shout .I’ll set up for free in my villa by the sea .

Zach at William H Brown was extremely helpful with looking for properties, he did everything he could to find the perfect one for 3 of us to move into. He was great at explaining the specifics about each property I viewed with him, the first one i viewed and loved was unfortunately not available for 3 people, who aren’t related, to move into and Zach was perfect at explaining the reasons why. He made sure to contact me about any other available houses that would be suitable, and even showed me another property that same day. 2 days later Zach contacted me about a property that he thought would work really well for my situation, I viewed the property that day and the landlord accepted us 3 to live there that same day as well. Zach managed to secure me a property in 3 days after the first viewing he showed me, after i’d been looking for 2 months. He has been extremely helpful and honest with information and answered all of our many questions. He made the experience of finally finding a property easy and i’m grateful for that, amazing service, wonderful person.

Norwich branch- overall the staff have been great especially Ethan, however they have a lot of ‘hidden’ fees and also charge ridiculously high for simple things such as an increase in rent they charged me £300 other companies I have used do not do this, I don’t rate the company at all, there’s a lot of other options available I would suggest shopping around

Had a good experience with WHBrown, but I found out they had ‘lost’ my application on a home that I loved, and it was only noticed after I called everyday to find updates, so that was very disappointing due to the staff member who lost our application. That is the only downside. However, Harrison was in contact with me after he noticed this and provided 5 star service. He stayed late to help with rewriting my application, spoke to the landlord specifically for me, and provided lots of information, and I was keen to meet him to say thank you. He was very professional and I couldn’t thank him enough, and we finally got the property that we almost lost, we wouldn’t be here without Harrison. Also a thank you to Olivia for originally meeting with us, and also providing information, and I am now settled happily in my home. WHBrown even provided a gift box with the keys to my new home, which included drinks and some cupboard foods, as well as leaflets for furniture. Thank you to Harrison!

Anne Luby has been amazing from the very beginning. She took the time to arrange regular Teams meetings, which made the whole experience feel much more personal. As a first time buyer, I had absolutely no idea where to start and was a complete novice who felt out of her depth, but Anne guided me through every step of the process.

Norwich branch

Norwich branch - Unorganised, didn’t send us any information regarding the day our contract starts, no one met us and everyone contacted on the phone kept telling us different information. They sent us a bill on friday to pay and shut over the weekend, didn’t answer our calls on monday morning so couldn’t pay it until they picked up after an hour and a half of calling. We then sat around for six hours before we could even collect the keys.

I highly recommend Buster to anyone looking for a top-notch lettings negotiator in Norwich. Thank you, Buster, for making my dream property a reality!

I highly recommend WHB. Fabio has been brilliant. I moved to WHB after other agents let me down and they have been amazing. Fabio has been so helpful, he is always available on the end of the phone, even after office hours. He has given me advice and guidance along the way and found me new tenants. Also happy and cheerful as well as being professional. Thank you.

I had an exceptional experience working with Fabio Almeida during my apartment search. From the moment I reached out ,he was incredibly helpful, attentive, and professional. He took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and went above and beyond to find me the perfect apartment. Fabio Almeida was always prompt in responding to my inquiries and proactive in providing updates available . He guided me through the entire process with patience and expertise, making what could have been a stressful experience seamless and enjoyable. His dedication and commitment to finding me the right apartment truly stood out. Fabio demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the market and provided valuable insights that helped me make an informed decision. Thanks to Fabio, I am now happily settled in my new apartment, and I couldn't be more grateful for his assistance. I would highly recommend Fabio to anyone in search of a reliable and friendly professional help with their housing needs.

We have been delighted with the service we received from William H Brown in the sale and purchase of our recent move. At all times they were courteous and helpful, especially Courtney who dealt with our move with expert advice and very supportive attitude; especially given that we felt very inexperienced and so valued the team's help and advice all the more. We would most definitely be recommending William H Brown to anyone who was looking to buy or sell a property, and would personally like to thank them most sincerely for all their expertise and helpful patience.

PLEASE STEER WELL CLEAR!!

Poor communication, false promises from sales, lettings and mortgage services. Started off great but once they've had your money they don't care about resolving any issues. Don't bother with the lifetime membership as you'll have to do all the work yourself. Don't bother with management services for letting a property either, they won't tell you about any problems and they'll let your tenants damage your property and steal from you without any reconciliation measures or compensation. I sold my flat over a year ago and I'm still battling with them and the Zero Deposit scheme to compensate me for my property being stolen and damage that I paid to fix for the new owner out of my own pocket. PLEASE STEER CLEAR, SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE!!

Me and my partner would like to say a huge thank you to the William H Brown staff, especially Matthew and Ethan for helping us move into our new rental house.🏡 We are over the moon to have a garden and to live in such a beautiful area. Everyone in the team has been always hand on, friendly and ready to answer any questions we’ve had. The whole process was super quick and smooth. Well done guys, five star from us, highly recommend. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the beginning, they took the time to understand my needs and provided solutions that exceeded my expectations. Communication was clear and consistent, and I was kept informed at every step. They handled challenges efficiently and always followed through on their commitments. The team members were very good.

As a tenant this is the worst rental agency I've ever dealt with - expected more from such a big name

As a tenant this is the worst rental agent I've ever dealt with. 1) Difficult to get in touch with - they hardly ever answer the phone. 2) The property was dirty when we moved in, no inventory provided. 3) The property was managed by Sequence Ltd who have provided a very disappointing service - early on we were told (via a phone call and after several weeks of us asking) to arrange for repair of a maintenance issue ourselves and that this could be deducted off our rent afterwards, and that the landlord had instructed this. We never received the refund, they said because they didn't have records of that instruction. Several staff members had started then left during our tenancy which didn't help (we were there for 6 months). 4) We are now having to contact Tenancy Deposit Scheme to get our deposit back relating to a different issue, mostly due to our inadequate landlord who it seems is trying to claim a random amount of money anywhere he might get away with it (we left the property in a cleaner state than when we arrived to try to avoid any possible excuses for deduction from deposit). Sequence Ltd doesn't appear to know about or be bothered about the law and tenant's rights.

Thank you guys so much. You've been amazing! Lewis Styles has been fab, I couldn't have asked for better! Everything was finalised and sorted really quickly. I'm a first time renter so super nervous but Lewis made sure I was given regular updates and answered all my questions - I had quite a few! The whole process was so smooth and a lot of it was down to Lewis. Thank you all so much

Buster at the Norwich office has helped us with getting a new tenant and all that involved. He is a wonderful person, very hard working, thorough , and made life so much better for us as landlords. He explains well and even double checked and caught things we had missed. Very happy with Buster. He is a great asset to your company. I look forward to working with Buster in the future and recommended him highly.

Ollie Aston flat inspection

This Morning I had Ollie Aston attend my flat for an annual inspection. He was on time as agreed. He took photos for Landlord and was a very pleasant with his customer communication during the visit. I raised a few questions which I hope to hear back. I wish him the success in his employ and rate 5 star service. Overall have dealt with WHB for 6 years always been of a high standard.

I would not trust these people

I would not trust these people, I emailed them to arrange a viewing on a tenanted property, no contact, after a couple of days I called them to arrange a viewing for same property, straight away the sales person tried steering me to another property instead, but I held firm, they said they would get back to me with an appointment, they never did, it’s now sold. They have preferred investors waiting in the background, other sectors would not get away with it.

The Letting department is one of the worst agencies I have ever come across. My student son was looking for Accomadation and they just treated him like a money bank and many of his friends as well that we’re looking. There hard cell tactics and fear. Mongering was unprecedented Against young students. I would encourage any parents or students looking to rent to avoid this agency and the other branch as they feel that is acceptable to bully students and to lie about properties. Even complaining to the manager did nothing as he was just as bad as the rest of his bunch.
