Absolutely APPALLING customer service from this branch. Multiple problems with the place we were renting, problems were not sorted for sometimes up to 2 whole months. Other things were not fully explained to us in contract and information withheld. Cannot believe this branch gets any clients ...

Utterly hopeless. I tried to arrange viewings a week in advance and was told this was not possible and, after having given my details was told to call on the day I wished to view properties- and this would be "absolutely 100% no problem," in the ...

I am very disappointed with the service I received from William H Brown in Colchester. I saw an advert for a property listed on a property website and no administration fees were advertised, and so I thought that it would be a good idea to ...

Comment on agent fees
The ‚£120 is extortionate, and also the terms of a guarantor must be explained to the tenants before they put somebody forward.

What can I say? Great valuer getting you to sign on the dotted line but from there we have been all but abandoned. Lazy marketing and mistakes on website despite prompts. Still waiting for response to a written concern after nearly 2 days. Interestingly we have ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
1) Better marketing. Floor plan was a poor photo copy of one I handed top them myself (despite being told that they do their own). More care on description. I could describe an apple more positively than the bullet point approach used to market my property. 2) Response to complaint letter? It is 48 hrs after sending a letter to the Sales Manager, expressing my disappointment, and I am still waiting for a response... At my office, unless there is an auto "holiday response" I would be expected to respond within 24 hrs. 3) We are registered with 5 Estate Agents to view properties, including WHB. We have not had a single call from WHB offering a potentially suitable property. We have had to be proactive in calling them. Other local Estate Agents seem far more proactive.

Worst experience with an estate agent ever - and that is saying something. After the slick marketing pitch, it went rapidly downhill. The main issues are as follows: - I was fed a catalogue of lies from the team in Colchester, who were not at ...

Completely unsuportive of landlords - your property will be managed in Norwich by staff who really don't care. As for the local team, once you have paid they will not want to know. Requests for help go ignored. If you are looking for a cheap ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Regular updates. People who are articulate and can write an e-mail without mistakes. Give a realistic valuation at the outset.
