Very poor experience so far
Very poor experience so far, the staff simply don't communicate with each other within branch or with other branches, we are now 19 days since we went to get my wife added to the tenancy agreement, still waiting for it/

The St Albans branch were quick to take £200 off us for an EPC check which we had done already, but they insisted another one had to be done by them. After he walked out the door we were effectively forgotten. Zero effort and zero customer service.

seller not getting best price
son placed higher bid for a property and it was sold at a lower price, if i was the seller i would not be happy. no chain involved first time buyer. having read previous reviews it looks like this sort of thing as happened before

Couldn’t trust them
Bidding on a house and was pushed for more and more money. Caught the estate agent out in a lie and just had a bad feeling so decided to walk away from the house due to their handling of the house sale.

Hopeless
Have tried to view a house for sale which they are handling. No call backs, no viewings, whole thing now sounds very suspicious and my guess is that they have a "favoured" buyer, i wonder why. . . We've given up trying to view the property.

Terrible estate agents
Terrible estate agents, can't wait to take your money and mess you about when it's time to pay you back. Poor communication and lack of effort with sorting out problems. Terrible at returning calls or sorting things out in general. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Several emails sent to view a property and not one reply. As a cash buyer you would think they would reply instantly but 5 days and nothing. I certainly will not be listing my house with them if they are ignoring serious buyers.

They just care your money
They just care your money. Until the payment they approach kindly but after payment they do not care your problems. I spent hours to explain my problems with the property but they do not care. 5 minus stars if it were possible.

Missed out on sale due to lack of communication. When I did buy a house with another estate agent, williamhbrown wouldn't collect their 'for sale' sign. Cowboys in a high street friendly guise, avoid these clowns.

Great service

WHAT A TERRIBLE SERVICE THE MORTGAGE ADVISOR IS SO RUDE AND TO THINK WE PAID A HIGH PRICE FOR THIS SERVICE FAR FROM A SERVICE HE NEEDS TO GO ON A CUSTOMER RELATIONS COURSE AND LEARN HOW TO SPEAK TO CUSTOMERS

I dealt in particular with Ellaina Briggs throughout the transaction and she was excellent. Courteous, fast and efficient - felt like we were working well together and pulling in the right direction at all times. Would highly recommend!

Terrible communication
Terrible communication; seems like staff don’t know what they are going. Wasted so much of my time and energy. No positive outcome even after chasing so many times.

Would give a zero if possible
Would give a zero if possible. Tried to get a viewing with a property they never returned our call. When we did get through they said the house had sold. It was massively under valued. Mmm wonder who bought it??

William H Browns Lettings use Sequence…
William H Browns Lettings use Sequence Homes to ‘manage’ their properties. Landlords and tenants should both read reviews on Sequence before committing to WHB Lettings. WHB 8/10 for my property, Sequence 0/10. Sequence are awful.
1/5
Sly and underhanded
Twice, offers accepted, mortgage in place and solicitors instructed. Seller pulls out, gazumped. Should try a lockout agreement in future, wasted two months of time and money with these jokers.

We decided we no longer wanted to use them as estate agents, was told over the phone we would receive a full refund. Then a week later emailed us to say they had changed their mind and we would get nothing!!Disgusting
