TrustpilotUnderhand
I tried to sell a property through this company at auction and they had some very interesting views on the value. I said I would take my business elsewhere and the next day the local branch phoned me to try to get me to get the property put on the general sales market through their branch. I politely refused because their actions were very underhand. They have rung me weekly for a year since in one guise or another trying to get my business.

GoogleHad a great experience with William H Brown Castleford. Chloe, Annabel, Rachel and Leanne were all amazing and held everything together at times after some rubbish solicitors in the chain nearly caused the chain to collapse. Really friendly, fast response to queries and really helpful.PositiveQuality, Professionalism, Value

TrustpilotWilliam H Brown
William H Brown - Scunthorpe. Initially , friendly staff but as time elapsed it became evident they weren’t interested in my plight as a tenant. However it was only until very recently I realised that one staff member in particular considered it acceptable to make stuff up and frankly her motives in hindsight seem racist. It’s not a word I use lightly either. I would be very concerned if you were to rent a property with this company and specifically this branch. Whilst I have absolutely zero proof to validate my opinion , the overwhelming feeling I have as a result of dealing with this person’s lies isn’t going to go away in a hurry.

William Brown of Swaffham and William Brown Auctioneer facilitated viewings and offers behind my back after a sale was agreed with me under private treaty. They lied to me when I questioned why the advert had not been removed, assured me time and time again that the property would not be shown and that no more offers would be allowed, and finally just a few weeks before completion called me to say that they had allowed and taken a bid under "auction conditions" and that unless I met with all terms of this including being prepared to pay the auctioneer fees and giving an immediate deposit and to close within 28 days including forgoing my solicitors input ( which was already weeks in progress) I would loose the purchase. I made a formal complaint but had no concrete evidence in writing and the staff at the Swaffham branch closed ranks, lied, and said that they had never assured me that my purchase was safe. It has cost me thousands of pounds because I have had to rent now while looking for another property.

TrustpilotLettings yes. Property management no.
Although they managed to let out all of our properties reasonably quickly, their property management was abysmal. They gave repair work to contractors who were expensive with very poor quality work. Sometimes they were the friends and family of the staff.We had to appoint a different property management company who now is far more reliable and trustworthy.

TrustpilotOver One Year for Nothing
Around one year ago, we were interested in a house and the seller A accepted our offer.Then after over half a year, almost all the procedures went through, the seller's solicitor stopped replying to our solicitor but reassured that they're sorting the last enquiry out.After one month, the estate agent contacted us that the seller declined to sell the house and the staff from the estate agent apologised quite sincerely. Someone senior from the estate agent gave some information of a similar property around the same area to us.We both found this house quite met our expectation so we expressed our interest and the house seller B accepted our offer within one week.As this house B is a no chain house, we expected the procedures can go through more quickly than last time. However, the enquiries have taken more than four months and there is still two outstanding enquiries. We did try to ask what the last two enquiries were but not getting any response.William H Brown is a liar as the house B suddenly becomes a chained property during the conveyancing process.

TrustpilotHarassment on another level
My wife provided my contact details to William H Brown on Rightmove when looking at a house we were interested in. When we explained our situation to them they said they would take my details off their records. 3 months on and I'm still getting weekly calls from them, even after saying under GDPR regulations I want them to remove all records they have of my personal information. I've decided now to report them to the ICO as enough is enough.

TrustpilotShocking
Shocking , they do not tell the truth then when we wanted to leave bullied us to threatening court action if we left , 5 people looked at our house 4 did not even have their houses on the market , would not release us from contract and then kept telling us to reduce the price after they valued it 40 odd thousand more , 4 months of hell and making the whole experience stressful and wasting our time !!!!! I have sold many houses and never had such an awful agents bar one staff member who was genuinely nice to us but still was not honest .
