1. Did not get property details to us until cooling off period finished 2. Photos so awful they had to be re done. Then offered professional photos for third attempt (done by a freelance solar panel man - they were even worse. Then published thesis without our consent) 3. Written details so bad we had to rewrite them ourselves 4. gave themselves two days from published paperwork to arrange open house - we queried this but were told it was fine - no one turned up. 5. Second open house no better - we checked our security camera - only one attendee who we understand had a budget of £50k less than the asking price. 6. A prospective buyer who visited twice (over 2.5 hours) no feed back 7. Promise of local newspaper coverage for our property to compensate for poor service - nothing happened. 8. Letter of apology sent to us for poor service - no postage , we had to pay £1.54 to find out what letter was awaiting us at post office. WHB then dumped £2 and a compliment slip in the porch and slunk off without even bothering to knock. 9. Sent email giving notice to cancel contract at end of term (both to branch and specified department) - not acknowledged - so copy sent to another branch to acknowledge. 10. Told WHB that we could not do viewings in a particular week as we had a wedding and various guests that week - they rang for an appointment. When reminded about the wedding we were told they knew that as it was in the diary; were told they could do a viewing the following week. However there was a further phone call the next day when they suggested they could let themselves in and show the property themselves. 11. Email sent several days after the end of the contract asking them to remove our property from the website and pick up their sign; no response or acknowledgement so a phone call was made.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Allowed us the opportunity to view details in time to exercise our rights of cooling off - not send late (and that only following phone calls requesting sight of details)

Very disappointed and angry. We were given what turned out to be a highly inflated valuation that was nowhere near accurate. Irina outlined a sales strategy whereby she would whip up interest in our property, followed by an "open house" that would "start a bidding war". At the ... Read Full Review
What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have put a lot more effort into selling our house AND they could have been a lot more honest about the real value. They could also have NOT demanded money from my husband, which he could ill afford, when the house was finally sold without their assistance or input.
Comments on Agent Fees
Fees demanded without justification as the sale was effected without their help or input

We have nothing but praise for the proactive approach and support we recieved from Terry Buy at the Halstead Branch. As our sale included the need for a lease extension the process seemed frustrating and daunting at times, but without Terry on our side and keeping us updated and without his... Read Full Review

Excellent service from Terry, suggesting I view a property, which I did, and we then purchased. Terry was punctual at the first and second viewings, gave us professional advice on the purchase and also potential for letting.

We decided to sell our house through William H brown as we know they have nationwide coverage and have had dealings with them in the past. Initially we were dealing with one person who made endless mistakes and his lack of interest was clearly visible. He was politely asked to leave the company :). ... Read Full Review
