Barking

Barking: A very impolite and unhelpful property specifically Daivad and Gary. Daivad was very very rude and so unprofessional. I paid for the refereeing and my referencing went through however as per their words the landlord decided to not rent the flat to me after the referencing. They didn't pay my money back although my documents were not on fault. I would never recommend this property to anyone, as you have seen other reviews as well make sure you keep your distance from this property

Nhants town centre branch bad! The Kingsley one far better

I think the amount of bad reviews is resounding. Mine is for Northampton town centre branch. Never ever again. They do not get you the best price for your house, they pitch you into accepting the price they think is correct, then don’t do any more viewings. Their sales negotiators are about 12 years old, have all the cliche sayings. They call you non stop for your house then once you’re on the market with them their contact ceases until they want a price reduction. They can certainly talk the talk but not walk the walk. On the flip side however the other Northampton branch is lovely, the employees their are calm and understanding. It’s a shame I couldn’t transfer my business to them.

Don’t even think about it...

I am a landord who made the mistake to take the full service with them. I thought they were good considering also how high their rates are but in reality they are the worst I have dealt with. Management is being done from a central office not in the same city and no one of course mentioned that when signing the contract. They have costed me more than 1k in repairs due to unacceptably late reactions after a water pipe leaked (they repaired it after a week and all the repairs walls, painting etc took them more than 3 months. Everything started moving after I gave notice to end the contract early (which is 2 months), when the manager took over. A real shame for such a big company. I made the mistake to ask them to do the check out as it was their job even after I ended early and they messed it so badly I regreted it. The only thing they are good at is finding you tenants but I am not sure I want to go back now after such a mess.

The company is really terrible

The company is really terrible, the Nottingham branch. They claim to manage properties on behalf of landlords but they don’t communicate complaints from tenants to the landlords regarding the property.

Williamhbrown

I have had a lovely experience with Williamhbrown; Gina Comerford has been very efficient and helpful. Overall there is a lack of communication throughout the office as I am due to move into a rental property next week. Yet someone from the company rang me today to ask if I was still looking for somewhere. This have been very stressful and frustrating as they should have known this information already.

Sudbury branch - not impressed

The initial contact and marketing of the property was professional and efficient, despite various additonal payment schemes proposed which were barely disguised attempts to increase their commission.The so called liaison, post offer, was not consistent, not particularly helpful and seemed to be weighted in favour of the buyer rather than the seller paying the commission. Contact was by phone only with voicemail messages left containing no information just a request to call the agent's office - email would have been more convenient and enabled an audit trail.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I would never rent from this or any other associated companies ever again and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. The experience I had from the time my tenancy ended until I had my deposit partially returned was nothing short of farcical. Their lack of communication and unwillingness to help or address any of my concerns made the process of moving significantly more stressful than it needed to be. They were far more interested in money, they have no desire to provide a decent service for their tenants. I ended up losing a portion of my deposit for which was completely unnecessary cleaning purely due to the fact that I was given the run around from the day I moved out. Had I not reluctantly agreed this saga would still be ongoing and I wouldn't have had any of my money returned. They repeatedly lied about the reason for a sudden increase in this pricing, refused point blank to provide an invoice, refused to listen to any concerns I had and effectively refused to discuss anything until I threatened to seek legal advice. Only then did I receive a phone call. This person was unable give any reason or address any of my concerns, and could not tell me why I was unable to have any sort of invoice. They also lied that the landlord had contacted me when he had not. Even after agreeing to pay these (illegal) cleaning fees just so I could be done with the whole situation it still took a further email and telephone call to have my money returned. Absolute joke of an agency. Avoid at all costs. If you do happen to rent with them take photographs of everything because they will use any excuse under the sun to keep your money.

Shocking - do not use

This is in relation to Sowerby Bridge Branch Halifax, in particular Ed the Senior manager and Hannah who we have sadly dealt with.Please do not use this branch or company. They are simply the worst estate agent I have ever come across. In short, they lie, don't contact you or respond to your contact & try pressure/force you to use their recommended solicitor firm, who I'm sure they receive a payment from which they don't tell you, the buyer also experienced this pressure.if you don't use their solicitors they refuse to contact your solicitors or say they 'cannot contact them as you didn't use ours'.It has been 10 weeks since we or the buyer of the house had any contact from W H browns, they feel this is acceptable. If we hadn't have sorted things directly with the buyer ourselves the sale would have fallen through, 100%. They feel it is also ok to not respond to emails for over 10 weeks from the buyer who needed urgent help.They lie, they blame you for their mistakes and lack of service & also don't follow their own groups complaint procedure, ie don't advise you of your rights with the property ombudsman.Please do not use this company, use someone else who actually cares and doesn't just see it as there job to put your house on right move.

Worst experience ever !!! Expensive - unprofessional / lack of communications etc DONT USE !!!

Shocking service !!!Would not recommend Nottingham city branch !!!Poor communications , no responding to emails - shockingly expensive compering to other estate agents.Rude and sarcastic over the phone.I wouldn’t use u at all if I could - but I had to sell my property ASAP that’s why had to handle with all your unprofessional behaviour.Didn’t have time to swap estate agents otherwise would do it without any doubt !Only care about money - customer is not important at all - after sale they didn’t even bother calling and asking how things went only how much I need to pay and when to give the keys to the buyer. Told my solicitor they highest fee for sale.When we agreed a smaller price - couldn’t change that fee for weeks as the branch manager was always unavailable - and every other staff member in that branch knew only about the highest fee not what I agreed with the branch manager - lack of communications !!!Will never use them again !!!Recommend staying away from them other people as well !

Norwich Select

Norwich Select. Shockingly inept. Failed to do even the most basic checks on purchasers, tortuous to deal with, never return calls. I resorted to dealing direct with the purchaser after managing through fb to getprivate mobile . Do not trust these people, they are incapable of anything. The worst organisation I have ever come across. I complained about our bill of over 7 k and they offered to take £100 off ! Told them no, you keep it as I feel able to now to give you the reviews you deserve . Branch manager Gareth is particularly useless, and just lied throughout

Leicester Branch Robert

Leicester Branch - I have had a very stressful time both selling and buying a new home. Robert kept me informed with my new home every step of the way. Nothing was too much hassle for him, he always tried to find resolutions and made me feel at ease with the process even though he was not getting paid for his time from me as I was the buyer. Thank you

Gidea Park Branch - Avoid!

We have been extremely dissatisfied with the service we received from this branch throughout the sale of our property. After we accepted an offer, the team essentially disappeared, leaving us to handle both transactions ourselves. We were forced to coordinate between all parties, chase solicitors, follow up with the lender, and manage the entire process over the course of four extremely stressful months. WHB provided no meaningful support or assistance during this time.Even the estate agent representing the property we were purchasing expressed their shock at the appalling service we experienced. They had to step in and fill the gap left by WHB to ensure our sale was progressing.The only time we witnessed any enthusiasm from WHB was when they signed us up. After that, their level of professionalism, engagement, and service declined dramatically. Their sole tangible contribution was organising the viewings, and beyond that, they offered little to no value.

Rotherham branch

Rotherham branch - not even competent enough to manage the first basic step - turning up for an appointed viewing! While I was bombarded with texts & emails confirming & reminding me of my viewing appointment, this estate agent didn't even turn up for said viewing appointment. A representative turned up over 20 minutes later, only because I rang to say no one from WHB was there! And when the rep appeared, she didn't have the right key!!! Although very apologetic, no reason or explanation could be offered. In total, 1 hour of our time on a friday evening was wasted not viewing a property. Please, please, if you can't even get the basics right, get out of the property business.

Will never use them again

Rented an apartment in Huddersfield from the Huddersfield branch. After 11 months gave notice to move because we just had endless issues with them not fixing the heating. They took 16 weeks to give us our deposit back. They kept on saying put in writing then waiting 4 weeks then chasing to be told the same thing again and again. Ended up reporting them to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme to get our money back. Shame on you. Disgusting company. We will never use them again.

Avoid the Dereham branch

Avoid the Dereham branch! Booked a viewing three days before, I called up the morning of to confirm as they weren’t polite enough to send me an email - was told they would call back. I had already booked the time off of work so though went along at the time booked and it was a no show! I travelled all the way home from London and booked my annual leave for them not to be bothered! They could have sold my house and got commission from theirs. Fortunately caught the neighbour and told them what had happened and they said they were also 20 minutes late to a viewing yesterday and a no show to ours so she is going to let the owner know! Absolutely abysmal service and I wouldn’t recommend for buying or selling!

Promise the skies, deliver what exactly?

When I heard the sales pitch about how they can afford to offer no sale no fee because they're a huge agent and can afford to take the losses, I should have considered whether this also meant they were lazy and lacked any hunger for sales. Seems they're main selling strategy is to argue for the lowest selling price, only to come back in 2 weeks and try to push an even lower sales price, so ultimately it is the vendor who 'takes the losses'. 26 August 2024 - the lacklustre service rolls on. Complete failure to vet viewers leading to time wasting and sheer frustration. Avoid!

Fabio in Norwich

I was helped by Fabio in Norwich, he was quick and extremely helpful. He understood that I needed to move in urgently due to starting a new job, within a week everything was sorted and I got my key. He's helpful, kind and does go above and beyond not like other estate agents I have dealt with previously.

I would leave no stars if I could

I would leave no stars if I could. No communication. Was recommended modern auction method, hopeless, price plummeted and eventually we found out from the buyers a member of staff recommended a low bid. Very poor or no service at all.

Absolutely fuming with this company

Absolutely fuming with this company, wasted 6 months of our time and about 5 grand in cost, all down to false advertisement and blatant lies. We were buying an old 1930 bungalow with a total of 1.7 acres of land, after paying out for a level 3 survey and completing the searches through solicitors it was found out through the searches that 1 acre of the land although owned was actually common land. It is now clear as day that the owner was aware of this and so was the estate agents as the property had only recently have a buyer drop out (probably after finding the same info) Truly devastated as we have lost a load of money and our dream home. Thanks for wasting our time and money. You should know better, I will be following this up with a report to right move to ensure that the property is sold with accurate info on the ad. FYI if your from my area Dunmow / Braintree this is all about Newlands cottage in cressing

Not for the Inexperienced

This company provided extremely poor service, they have been found by the property ombudsman to be negligent in their duties. They failed to get previous landlord or any personal references for the tenant they provided on their 'tenant find service' . They failed to do the start of term inventory in a timely manor. They used an external company to do the credit checks who managed not to find the tenants CCJ's that they already had. If you use this firm be advised you will need to supervise them at Every step and check every step of their work. Not for the inexperienced. And they will charge you for the privilege of being incompetent.

Had an appointment to view a property and when we arrived there were two other women who had arrived for an appointment half an hour earlier but no one had turned up. Tried calling the office but no answer and still haven't heard from them nearly six hours later. Doesn't bode well for anyone that does let from them

Bunch of illiterate clowns - don't waste your time!

Staff apparently not able to read or write or dislexic! I asked for a an email to confirm the date of my valuation - didn't receive one because the illiterate on the other end of the phone seemed incapable of writing the address down, despite me repeating it several times! He then proceeded to talk over me to blank my response, causing me to raise my voice in order to be heard - still haven't had a response from them!
