“Have been dealing with the Statham branch of William H Brown and can only suggest that they are best avoided, they have had significant staff turn over and each time the selling staff that come out to visits have been less skilled and less enthusiastic.
They have managed to get a whole 6 people through the door in a year. Which is well below the market standards and even with that when cancelling contract they're immediately reminding of their competition clause that you can't see with anyone else till the notice is done, which while legally correct seems pretty poor form when they have woefully under performed.
Over all very lacklustre, unprofessional staff sent to do viewings and no ideas to help sell a property apart from the relentlessly lazy "Drop the price, drop the price" the battle cry of estate agents who don't really know how to sell.
Very much best avoided, much better options out there.”
“Very happy. The team at William H Brown Hoddesdon were friendly, pro-active and honest. I honestly couldn’t fault them for their effort in a tough market. They managed to get me the move I wanted so I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you”
“Do not have negative star so have to give one. Richard from William H Brown mortgage team was fantastic but when he left allocated to another person, it went downhill from there. I was passed on to 3rd person who got me a worst deal and instruct bank without my consent, on confrontation I got a better deal and instructed advisor, when enquired about the update after 3 days came to know that he left and I’m back to the worst mortgage advisor. I had to escalate to area manager to send instruction, so I did but still that mortgage advisor do not have decency to acknowledge my email and update me what is happening, even though she knows that it has been escalated. Instead of calling me directly, that advisor asked customer service to call me to update. When I raised complain formally on email, there is no reply from them. There is no coordination between their sister companies as they were sending wrong email ID of my solicitor to lender. This is a nightmare dealing with mortgage service of William H Brown, worst decision to go with them.”
“I written a review in the past about Jordi and her team at Stalham but felt the need to repeat myself, their excellent work on our sale and purchase was second to none in every respect. Should we move again, Brown's of Stalham will be my first port of call.”
“The worst estate agent out there. I should have read reviews before trusting them to sell my property. They did not actively try to sell my property, communication lacked massively, didn’t take my property off the market when advised to and lost my flat keys. All this and when they had the chance to put this right - did nothing. Please avoid - they don’t care for customers. There are much better estate agents out there.”
“The team at William Brown in Wymondham handled the sale of our house brilliantly last month. Max Philo went above and beyond, keeping in touch with me and the vendor, and ensuring that problems were ironed out and the sale went through. I really couldn’t have asked for better service from an estate agents and have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“Undervalue properties - we have are property valued by 10 estate agent and they undervalued are property - yet over valued a people tie across the road - seems they sell to land lords ????”
“Dear friends,
AVOID. AVOID AVOID
I wanted to buy a property in Askern DN6 .
I went to view a property they never told me they had an offer and advertise it at £120k and after viewing I placed n offer and now they say I need to bid over £120k if I want to buy that property . So I bid £125 and my offer is accepted . Now comes the trap .
They want me to pay £1200 and use their own mortgage advisor Julie Haigh and I told them I have my own mortgage advisor and as he charges no fee from me and gets commission from the Lender I won’t loose any money because if Miss Julie haighs lender denie me a mortgage deal they won’t refund me their fees and I’m stuck with William h brown .
Now as soon as I say I have my own mortgage advisor they try to scare me like “ I’ll loose the property nd will never get a mortgage from my mortgage advisor.
I doubted them and checked there reviews and to my shock they have
71%. 1 star
And
24% 5 star rating
That tells it all.
I know people will still fall in there trap like I would have but I would only tell them that please change your way of practice.
Most of us work hard for money but I think most of William H Brown employees tell lies nd take peoples hard earned money .
Just be honest and don’t lie to ur landlords nd customers, sellers , buyers or tenants then u won’t have a single negative review..
I think the people who have given them 5 stars are there friends
Untill they change the way they practise
AVOID Avoid Avoi
Thank u

“First time buyer and wanted to definitely purchase a property here in Bradford. Gave a offer and emailed over mortgage in principle and bank statements. After a few days sent another email for update. Anyway rang them a few days later to be told the property was sold and why I didn't put in an offer. Was extremely angry as they denied being in the wrong and I have evidence to prove. Never use William h brown as they are cowboys”
“We moved out of the property we were renting with the NORWICH branch of William H Brown three months ago and are yet to receive our FULL deposit back.
We had the property professionally cleaned and made sure everything was as it should be, yet William H Brown are doing everything in their power to withhold our deposit due to a landlord not responding to have the funds released.
We are owed £1,500 by William H Brown, the only reason we've been given for them withholding our deposit is "unpaid bills", which we have proven time and again is not true. They have not sent any evidence of these bills and after contacting the council and OVO directly, they have confirmed there is no money owed on our accounts.
AVOID THIS COMPANY AND THEIR SUBSIDARY, SEQUENCE HOME AT ALL COSTS.
As a side note, if you're renting in Norwich DO NOT rent a property owned by Silver Let LTD. They are crooks and will try to steal your money.”
“Excellent customer service from the Barnsley branch. Evan helped me find my perfect home and negotiate on the price to get the offer accepted. Donna the mortgage advisor, very helpful and informative. Would recommend to anyone. Could not of asked for better service and communication throughout the process. Would not go anywhere else! Thank you William H Brown”
“Absolutely shocking Company, avoid at all costs. When things go wrong they tell lies, blames everyone else but themselves. Customer service is none existent. They actually deserve “0” stars”

“Loughborough Branch, Worst customer service.
They were unresponsive, unprofessional, and failed to communicate effectively throughout the process. I had to chase them constantly for updates and information. I would not recommend them to anyone."”
“I recently had a good experience with a Very lovely lady that works at the 'Kettering branch ' Toni, is her name, the very 1st time I walked in that branch it was all about what I wanted she made me feel very at ease, she was not pushy in any way at all I made all the decisions, she guided me very well, the team there is very good, 3 other ladies that helped me alot Sinead and Jess, and Annie (at iam sold), my house was on the market 3 months went into a auction house sold AMAZING, thankyou soo much”
“Ross provided an excellent service,polite,patient and ready to explain when asked.Nothing was ever a bother for him .
I would recommend him to my friends and family.
I would rate a 5Star”
“We have to say that WH Brown are the worst estate agents we have ever used. From the very beginning we had issues after issues.
It was so bad that we gave them their notice 4 weeks into a 20 week contract. We found them to be rude, slow, unresponsive and very negative to the comments we made to them.
It took them around 2 weeks to get a sale board up on the property and when they did finally get a board up they drilled it straight through our fence which has left a big hole.
In the 20 weeks we were with them I can count on one hand how many properties they actually sent us so we assume they had the same approach when marketing our property.
When we did eventually sell, My wife and I did the viewing as we were more enthusiastic. We actually sold and completed in 70 days which is very quick but this was only down to ourselves and our sellers solicitor's being on the ball every single day.
When I complained to the March branch Partner, The reply I got back was very blunt, abrupt and quite rude. After this, I complained to the area manager and his response was even more abrupt and rude and didn't even have the decency to answer any of our questions. He just more or less told me that we should have read the contract.
We will never use WH Brown again to buy or sell a property and we are in the process of making an official complaint to try and get a chunk of our fees back.”
