If I could give 0 I would

If I could give 0 I would, from the start it was bad, booked a valuation in for the Thursday, on the Tuesday got an email to say my valuation slot had been cancelled so rang the number on the email to rebook, got through to one branch to be told that branch doesn't deal with my area and they gave me the branch that does, so tried ringing them after numerous attempts and unable to get through I emailed back to that email address to say the issues I was having. Someone finally rang me back, the girl on the phone explained it was a head office mess up to why I had been booked in with the wrong valuation person, ironically the girl said she felt like she had spoke to me before (this is where the irony sets in, it wasn't head office that booked my original valuation in, it was in fact her! So first lie from william h brown), so booked in with their valuation guy to come on the Saturday.Anyways Saturday comes, he's all prepared with information on my house and the area etc... however, much of the information he provided was either known lies or half truths, he asked what other estate agents had valued the property at and then added 5k to their valuations. At the end of everything he said so shall we sign you up then, when I said ill have to think about it, he then turned to my partner (baring in mind this was already made clear the house was mine) and asked what he thought (did not like this, felt like undermining was apparent in his approach). He then said about booking us in for the Tuesday after to get us signed up.After he left, upon a little thinking decided to go with another estate agent so rang up william h brown and cancelled the Tuesday appointment, gave the reasons why and thought that would be the end of it, but no 10 minutes late the valuator rings up to find out for himself why I had decided to go somewhere else so after that phone call thought that would be it, how wrong could I be, over a week and a half later now just had my 5th call from william h brown and when I said in this last call about sick to the back teeth of them ringing me and it always being off different numbers she said they don't all share the same system so doesn't know who's called and when, I do not believe this, I believe the harassing people into signing is their technique.So word of advice, do not even get a valuation from this company..... avoid like the plague!!!

Awful overall..

Awful overall... super friendly service to start with and had it tenanted quickly but that's where the good stuff ends and the nightmare begins... the tenants were not "ideal tenants" as they had said, of course they did not let you have much information about who they are prior to agreeing to take them on. You have no choice in who you take on essentially. Wouldn't be surprised if they promised the tenants something you had not agreed to and blamed the landlord for not delivering.Oh, in addition they have expensive hidden fees so if you think you are getting a good deal you are not. They as any others hide behind their well drafted terms of business, of course they lure you in on other terms but this is just verbally mentioned to you.Good agents are hard to find unfortunately.

I have recently bought my first house through William H Brown and I highly recommend them. Katie was really helpful throughout the process and regular called to give updates and ensure things continued to progress. I will certainly use them again in the future.

Recently purchased our first house through William H Brown Maltby, being first time buyers everything was new to us! The guys at the branch really helped us out and put us at ease throughout the whole process. Big thank you to Calum who went above and beyond as he became our main point of call for all matters! 100% recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

The best estate agent in town!!

We cannot praise and thank Ben and his team enough for the true support and caring attentive service. We had a extremely stressful time during the sale of our house due to short comings by some of the solicitors in the chain. Ben was on hand to guide us and give us a truly wonderful end result!! We would recommend Ben and his team to any prospective sellers or buyers!Paul and Susan Stenhouse

Really happy with the service from the team at Maltby from our valuation with Katie up to completion. Calum was great at keeping us informed after we encountered a few delays due to Covid 19 and having a fairly large chain, he was always quick to answer any queries we had. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Efficient, helpful and friendly. Thank you !PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Avoid Stevenage branch at all costs

Started out overly friendly couldn’t do enough to get things moving then once they got my payment, everything stoped lack of communication constantly having to chase false promises constant delays -just a heads up they take payment before they do the work not after so I lost money for a mortgage I never got from Deniz in the Stevneage branch. I’ve used William h brown before (not this branch) with no problems but this experience with Deniz and the Stevenage teams was truly shocking. Avoid at all costs! When actual work was involved the team were rude and unhelpful making the process even more stressful.

Having Grace as my mortgage advisor has definitely help keep the stress levels down whilst selling my house. Grace always finds time to reply to my emails and her knowledge has been invaluable. She is extremely professional, positive and most of all patient, if you're new to buying and selling then Grace is someone I would highly recommend. Thanks for all of your help and advice!PositiveQuality

Absolutely shocking customer service

Absolutely shocking the way they treat customers.The initial meeting was good, but the minute you sign on the dotted line for them to sell your property, it all goes downhill from there.Three times I had to tell them I didn't want accompanied viewings (I worked in new homes for 14 years, so I think I know how to sell a house!) and someone would "be on their way"!!!!I felt that the staff were patronising, and couldn't really be bothered.In the end I changed agents to get a better service (of which I did) but in the end one of the original viewers made an offer, so we were reverted back to WHB.The sales chasing was hit and miss, even our solicitor said he didn't know who was representing us for the first few weeks!!The straw that broke the camels back was the email I received a week before we completed from Amanda, to say that they had referred us to the debt collection part of WHB and they wanted us to pay ASAP! I rang and asked the member of staff to get Amanda to ring me as we had not yet completed on the sale!!!!No one ever called, not to apologise for their mistake, but also to tell us we had completed!Discusting way to treat customers. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

We have to thank Jack and team at the Stevenage branch of W H Brown. Jack gave us a valuation and the house sold within 2 weeks. Every question we had was answered promptly and professionally. We would highly recommend W H Brown and would definately use their services again.

Very poor service from the Scunthorpe branch, I was convinced to sell (or attempt to) my property through the modern auction process, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE, the communication and feedback from the auction team and the Scunthorpe WHB team was diabolical, after 4 months I gave up with them, even then they did not acknowledge my email or offer any form of apology for the poor service.

No customer service.

I made an enquiry by email on a property in Norfolk over the weekend. I had two calls that terminated when I answered. The third time, I had a young lady who sounded as though she was in a call centre. She knew nothing about the property, failed to answer any of the written questions provided in advance of my call by email, put me on hold when I asked to be transferred to an estate agent, and then terminated the call. I doubt they’ll ever sell this property if this is the height of the service provided.

From rising damp to black mould

From rising damp to black mould, their response was to clean the gutters and that was it. Needless to say it returned every few months. We had no boiler for the last 3 months from December to April, in a house that the back windows are single glazed. We was provided 1 small heater to heat the whole house and given £100 rent reduction for this which is absolutely disgusting. Apart from Tom staff are argumentative and sarcastic. All round bad experience.

Disappointed in Holderness Road Hull Branch

My daughter purchased a property through the Holderness Road Hull Office, although staff were initially very helpful, Charlotte became very rude to me because I didn’t want to use their solicitor they recommended, they were going to charge £1200 + for the conveyancing. It is obvious she was going to get a commission from it and when I quoted other solicitor prices she became defensive, got very angry and told me to stop talking and listen to her, when I said, don’t talk to me like that she put the phoned down on me. Totally unprofessional. They also blamed our new solicitor for holding things up, admittedly they were very slow but the sellers solicitor had only sent part of a document our solicitor requested, but WH Browns staff didn’t want to know about this. They kept saying the seller was angry and frustrated at the delay but if her solicitor had sent the full document in the first place it may have progressed quicker. All in all I would not recommend WH Browns.

The vendor has lost many thousands

Viewed a property, offered asking price, advised that there were 2 other offers, we were prepared to offer more. Vendor wanted time to consider offers. We were then told that they had accepted another offer. We were not given the option to make another offer. Then I received a copy of the email to the buyers whose offer had been accepted - a very unacceptable and unprofessional mistake. There seems to have been no duty of care to the vendor to obtain a better price.

We bought through William H Brown and wish we’d sold through them too. They went above and beyond to support us through the move, even when things got complicated! They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and always available for some advice. If we choose to move again we’ll definitely go through them

Well done to the team at Crystal Peaks. From initial valuation to final sale, all members of the team were very professional and proactive when dealing with our queries. All of them were extremely approachable and very friendly - even when coping with the Covid restrictions. Special thanks to Beth and Maisie for their help in securing the sale.Kind regardsChristine and Steve

AVOID! Bullies! Run by children

Worst Company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with . Run by a load of teens - 20 something jumped up little wannabes who think they are better than everyone because they work in sales. The pushiness of these wannabes is ridiculous I work in sales and I understand commission but if someone says 'no' they have said no , no need to ask me 6 MORE TIMES ! THE ANSWER IS STILL NO ! Funny they didn't do this to my husband , so because I'm a woman you think you can bully me into say yes !! Wrong woman to try and do that do as they found out! Threating bully teenager run , and any questions you got about the property I hope you don't want answers unless you want 'I'm not sure' 'ill get back to you on that' 'tbh I've not been in this industry long' JOKE OF A COMPANY !!!!!Hire people with experience not children Who don't understand the word noAvoid!!
