William H Brown Peterborough reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a fantastic experience with Faizan at William H Brown. He was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. There were quite a few issues and delays with my property, but he spent a lot of time and effort to get everything sorted for me. He was professional, patient and dedicated, really made a big difference compare to other letting companies I have approached in th past. I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Poor staff and Bradleigh was ok always and responded quickly to my requests. However, over time he became quite unhelpful and thought nothing of generating extortionate costs for repairs without even asking if tenants had caused the breakages. Sophie was extremely unpleasant and passive aggressive throughout my entire association with her so had to sell my flat eventually due to poor managing agents. Will never use them again I am extremely unhappy with their service.

Sharp practice is the best that I can say of this outfit. Travelled 75 miles to view an inexpensive flat that was showed me by a very pleasant chap who suggested that I speak to the office about any questions I may have. The experience went downhill from here on. The Lady I spoke with explained that an offer had been previously accepted on the property but if I was prepared to make a better offer then I could be the one to buy it. Really ? I asked how much the Service Charges and the Ground Rent were but she was unable to tell me. This raises serious concerns on my part. Are they trying to tell me that some poor fool has agreed a purchase not knowing what the Charges are and that his "accepted " offer (if indeed there ever was an offer) was in fact worthless? If this is true then why are they offering the place to me knowing that it is already sold ? This is classic Gazumping which you would think was outlawed years ago yet clearly not where these people are involved. Truly devious behaviour on their part which leaves me wanting to run a mile once my anger has subsided. I can never believe a word they say again but I eagerly await their response to this review. Shake hands with this bunch and you'll need to count your fingers afterwards.

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.

Faizan was excellent in showing my wife and I around a house - he was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. After meeting many estate agents from around the city, he's a breath of fresh air and should be recognised for his positive attitude, polished demeanour and strong interpersonal skills.

Rebecca Green has been absolutely amazing! She helped us from the start to the finish in moving into our new home. My husband and I are very grateful to her as she answered all of our queries and made sure we understood everything. We can’t think Rebecca enough, she’s been amazing throughout this whole process of moving into our new home! I would 100% recommend Rebecca and William H Brown to anyone looking for a home.

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!!

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.

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.

I had a really positive experience with WH Brown with my house purchase. I highly recommend this firm to others when looking for a property. A special thank you to Shamus, Farhan and Beth who all looked after me and made the process hassle-free from start to finish

Impeccable Service!

We recently had the pleasure of using William H Brown also known as Sequence as our estate agent during our house purchase, and I cannot speak highly enough of their outstanding service. From the very beginning, Libby our Mortgage Advisor was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs.

Poor Customer Service

They rang me on Friday 12th of June and left me a voicemail to call them back to organise viewing a property in Upton that wasn’t clearly listed as being owned by Lomond. I rang them back several times and left voicemails only to be ignored, I then followed up with a second email query also to be ignored. After looking at the property its clearly managed by Lomond, so they have likely liaised with them to blacklist me from renting their properties. This is over one ancient paid off &satisfied CCJ.

Rebecca has been an absolute star with us in this exciting process. She showed us multiple apartments and really got us so excited to start the process of moving in! She stayed late for us to make sure we know all the information and showed us all the flats we wanted to see. What a superstar!!!

Keep pestering me despite house selling months ago

Came to our house for a free valuation before putting it on the market. We went with another agent because we felt William H Brown overvalued our house. We told them as soon as we decided that we wouldn’t be going with them. Since then, they have pretty consistently called me from various offices (local/regional etc) asking to co list with the agent we chose, trying to set up an appt with their in house mortgage advisor, asking if we have found anywhere else, asking how our sale is progressing etc. Our house sold in a week and we had an offer accepted on our new house the following week so we have absolutely no need for any input from William h brown. Yet still, three months later, they call me fortnightly to ask how everything is going, despite me asking them repeatedly to remove my details and any data associated with me. They are dogs with a bone who won’t take no for an answer!

Unprofessional

I dealt with William H brown, Holderness road branch as a tenant. Firstly, they tried to scam me into buying home insurance as an essential requirement of the contract. During the tenancy my landlord was lovely and remained in touch directly, so thankfully I didnt have to deal with them. At the end, I was in huge trouble because WH brown's absolute unprofessionalism. Despite multiple calls and requests they failed to provide references for my next agent. I had no where to go for a week due to this delay. It cost me a fortune! Over a month has lapsed but they have done anything about my deposit. When asked they said to get in touch with the lamdlord directly. Whereas they were the ones processing the deposit collection initially. After sorting it with the landlord myself it was over 2 weeks without any further progress to deposit return. Really a shameful service!! Staff and service all pathetic

Its been 5 years since I moved out of a rented property by William H Brown in St Albans and I have not been refunded my holding deposit. I have contacted them severally over the phone and emails and no luck till date. Nothing but radio silence. First I was told the Landlord would be contacted to claim back the £500 or so left after she dubiously claimed damages on the property. They then later pushed it on me to speak chase the landlord to reach an agreement on obtaining my deposit back. I have used a 2026 date on my review because trustpilot doesnt allow you to go all the way back to 2021.

I had a retirement property. Had an offer in April 2025 which I accepted. I then looked for a shared ownership property to buy. Found one which was perfect in location and size. Allocated solicitors paid for a management pack. On July 11th I was informed by my house purchaser who has been chasing for proof of funds that my purchaser did not have a mortgage in place, which was news to me. I called william h brown straight away and was promised a call back. This never happened. I have now lost my house and 3 months with my property being SSTC

Diddled me OUT OF MY LIFE SAVINGS!

They are lying, cheating thieves. They diddled me out of a large portion of my life savings. They do not care about the catastrophic effects of their actions on local hard-working families and community members. They only care about enriching themselves at the expense of others. Do not engage with them and do not go anywhere near the absolute scam of modern auctions, which they orchestrate via third parties as an obvious attempt to distance themselves from legal responsibility and liability for malpractice.

Emma Mackintosh

Review for Emma Mackintosh of William H BrownI recently had the pleasure of working with Emma Mackintosh at William H Brown, and I can confidently say that she went above and beyond in providing an outstanding experience.From the start, Emma was incredibly pleasant to deal with. She exuded professionalism and warmth, making what could have been a stressful process much more manageable. Her approachable nature made every interaction with her smooth and enjoyable, which isn’t something I can say for every professional I’ve dealt with in this field.What truly stood out was how quickly she responded to any queries or concerns I had. Whether it was via email or a phone call, Emma was consistently prompt in providing updates or answering my questions. This level of responsiveness is rare and showed how dedicated she is to ensuring a seamless experience for her clients.What I appreciated most, however, was how Emma dealt with me on a human level rather than just as a customer. She took the time to understand my needs and concerns, showing genuine empathy and care throughout the process. Her ability to connect on a personal level while maintaining professionalism made all the difference. I never felt like just another transaction; Emma truly made me feel valued and respected.In summary, Emma Mackintosh sets a high standard for service at William H Brown. Her pleasant demeanor, quick responsiveness, and human-centric approach make her an asset to the company and a joy to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to people looking for a professional who genuinely cares about her clients.
