TrustpilotHemel Branch
I recently let out my property with Brown and Merry Hemel branch. The team were exceptional every step of the way especially Morgan Seabrook who arranged everything, answered any queries I had and found a tenant quickly. The whole process was smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend letting with this agent.

TrustpilotGreat experience with brown&merry
Great experience with brown&merry. Professional, responsive, and made the process smooth from start to finish. Never disappointed in answering queries and arranged a second viewing for us along with the kids, as they wanted to see the house we were buying. Thanks for the wonderful gift box with lots of coupons at the end of the completion. Highly recommend!

TrustpilotBrown & Merry in Watford started off…
Brown & Merry in Watford started off well in trying to sell my house but tailed off badly. They were enthusiastic and created a good pitch and brochure for our 3 bed semi in Silkmill road,Watford plus an open day . An acceptable offer came in quickly but the sale fell through after 4 months. We felt they did not do enough to monitor its progress and their communication was v poor. After it fell through they did nothing at all to create interest so we terminated their contract. Would not recommend. Rightmove have been far better

TrustpilotThe single most stressful and awful experience...
I let my flat through the Stony Stratford branch and then - against my better judgment - agreed to sell through them. I can honestly say, the entire process was the very worst, most time-consuming and stressful experience of customer service I've had the misfortune to be on the end of. I literally don't know where to start in warning you to avoid Brown and Merry at all costs. There might be one or two good people but overall the culture and service, right up to the highest levels of this company is utterly toxic. Just some of the nightmare scenarios included my lovely tenants being given early notice without my permission, two entire sets of keys being lost leaving us with no keys, overcharging on invoices, buyers being given wrong information, documents being lost, quite literally having to beg rude, inconsiderate senior staff for updates, and a total refusal to accept any responsibility for really serious mistakes or even acknowledge they happened. It took months and months to resolve. The nightmare ended with myself and my poor tenants, plus my buyer who ended up withdrawing from the sale, all out of pocket and agreeing it was the most awful, stressful experience of our lives. We removed our flat and sold it through another agent. Please avoid B&M at all costs.

TrustpilotAbrasive and agressive sales call to try to get my business
I had a valuation from Brown & Merry and chose to go with another agent to sell my property as I felt B&M plan for selling was very agressive marketing that I didn't want to engage with. Since then I have had multiple calls to try to get my business. The most recent of which I found very uncomfortable; the woman on the call tried to make out I was stupid for not going with them 'I just don't understand why you wouldn't want more viewings and more offers' and then went through my current listing critising it and trying to sell their marketing plan. To finish the call as she would not listen to me saying I did not want to change my current plan of listing I had to tell her that I found her very abrassive and argumentative and no means no!

TrustpilotI’m a buyer and they harassed me!!
Awful company. I went to look at a house they were selling and since then, they’ve called me 4 times trying to get me to sell my house with them. The typical conversation they start with me is - “your house has been on the market a long time. Is there any reason for it?Its a long time don’t you think?” Or “you won’t sell your house with us even if we charge a zero percentage”?. It’s all a scam this is how they get customers and they’re rude with it. I blocked their number and didn’t buy the house they were selling because they were too forceful.

TrustpilotVery disappointing service
Very disappointed with the level of service from the Stony Stratford branch.I entrusted them to sell my property for me, very poor and almost non existent communication from the branch including keeping an eye on proceedings with my buyer (first time buyer) which ultimately led to the upper part of the chain pulling out after 20 weeks when it came to light that my buyer had barely even started the process.A costly and very stressful experience.

TrustpilotBooking with Tayla
I went to view a property with my family. I had previously spoken to the agent Tayla and provided my details. At the property, we filled in the form to put an offer on the property. Everything seemed to go well! The following afternoon I received a missed call and voicemail from Tayla asking to confirm if we would like to go ahead with an offer. Having that I missed the call, I replied via email confirming the offer and I will be in touch the following day Friday. Come Friday, I called 7 mins after opening hours and advised the agent is on the phone and left my message once again confirming my offer. I called again, she’s on the phone. Called again in the afternoon as I haven’t received a call back nor acknowledgement of my email. To call this time for the gentleman to insensitively tell me they’ve let the property to someone else….. As a women of colour, this is very concerning to be have your offer accepted and unknowingly taken back with no communication. Taking into Considering how they’ve handled the matter, I would not recommend their services or agent.

We had quite a problematic purchase but Sean and the team went above and beyond to facilitate where they could and tried to make our first property purchase as simple and stress free when they could. Would definitely recommend.

TrustpilotAVOID AT ALL COSTS - UNIQUELY INCOMPETANT
Having bought and sold many houses I have never received such inept, incompetent and just totally woeful service as provided to me by the Stony Stratford branch of Brown and Merry.They failed to manage my sale, communication was spectacularly awful, were in a total state of confusion and consistently failed to honour commitments.Upon signing up with them they performed a mail drop of the 'successful sale' of my property in the local area - without my consent. They sent me viewing appointments for houses elsewhere. They promised to call and didn't. They failed to return my keys despite numerous requests. All in all totally and completely amateurs.Final insult? Once my chain had broken down they dropped a business card through my door with the message "we'd love to sell your house" !!Please - trust me and avoid this company completely.

TrustpilotSOLD MY DETAILS ON...
We asked someone from Brown and Merry to come value our house with the possibility of putting it up for sale with them. We decided on another agent in the end but since giving my name, mobile number and address to Brown and Merry, I've had calls, texts and post through from haart estate agent who admitted on the phone to buying my details off another agent ( it can only be Brown and Merry as the agent we went with only had my husband's details). They've also sold my info to one of these house buying companies who text me constantly! I'm pretty sure that's a GDPR breach. AVOID CONTACTING!!

GoogleWe have recently used Brown & Merry Wendover office to purchase our new property. We were met by Sylvie at the property who we could not fault. Extremely helpful, happy and friendly during the viewings. We were constantly kept informed of what was happening during lockdown and when it finally came to the week of completion it would seem the whole office were very keen to go the extra mile to help. Thank you guys we are slowly but surely settling in.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

TrustpilotDo not bother booking lettings…
Do not bother booking lettings insurance with them. It is a total nightmare to cancel and they will send you on a wild goose chase to do so. I called insurance directly, they said speak to lettings, they eventually got back to me and gave me an email to cancel with. They responded saying speak to insurance company. Seriously? Full circle. Do yourself a favour and book it yourself.

TrustpilotSequence rental - AVOID!
Sequence rental are possibly the worst company I have ever dealt with. Overpriced, inept, and seem to totally forget that as a landlord it is me that pays for their service. Tenants did not report a leak that caused my wooden worktops to rot, to replace them will cost nearly £800 but am being told this is fair wear and tear and I can not claim for them to be replaced! Poor service from start to finish.

GoogleKristina and all the team at Wendover have been an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They listen, they remember and give great advice at a time when you need it most. I would have no hesitation in recommending them if you are selling or buying. Kristina handled everything for us from the start and didn’t let us down once which is very rare these days. On the rare days she wasn’t there all the team Jane, Claire etc were up to speed with the latest info on our sale. A job well done.

TrustpilotHemel branch
List bait properties that are no longer available and continually fail to return calls over a number of weeks, despite multiple commitments 'to come right back' when followed up. The Dfferent excuses provided each time. Serious question marks re: the ethics of this place, and that's before we get on to their complete lack of basic professionalism. As a buyer I would not consider buying anywhere listed by this lot, even if I really liked the place... plenty of other professional outfits that do manage basic things like returning calls etc out there. Potential buyers and sellers beware. AVOID.
