Bought this property the seller works in the office and had a house she wanted and requested if the purchase could be done quickly so new owners could put their christmas trees up in there new houses we did everything asked and pushed our solicitors to complete mid dec not for our benefit but the sellers. Big mistake!!! We got the keys to the property after paying and found a horror house not far from houses from hell on tv!! The house had not been cleaned it was absolutely (and I'm not exaggerating) the cooker was full of years worth of grease and grime it was like a hobo had been living there poo stains in toilet both smoke alarms hanging from ceilings with no batteries in them kitchen cupboard door wedged in to look fine but one touch fell off on the floor the Emersion heater was broke and tripped off mains electric!!! 3 port valve dangerous and broke. William h brown did not want to know a thing branch manager came out and was like a chocolate fire guard said it was bad but nothing he could do!!! Bought a house that was signed as heating working amongst other things and it's far from the truth. I tried amicably with the agents to contact the seller and to put her hand in her pocket to pay for repairs but a big fat NO. I would never use william h brown again the company stinks.
What agent could do to change your mind?

I purchased using William h brown, the house was a repossessed one and was in a really really bad mess, undeterred I put in an offer and after a little bit of back and forth the offer was accepted. About a week or so later after I had put about £600 into fee's it get a phone call from William h brown saying another offer had been submitted the nature of the sale is that the house remains on the market until exchange of contracts, I was forced to increase my offer twice In order to continue with the purchase, William h brown said that they had explained the situation to the other party who was Gazumping me and he decided to not put any more offers in. I honestly don't believe that the other party even existed and it's my opinion that William h brown was just pushing for more money. Further to this when I got the keys for the house the visitors log was left at the house upon inspection of this log there was only a small number of viewings that was weeks before the "higher offer" put forward.

As with everything I think their out to rip you off where ever possible.
