I'm afraid I had a horrendous experience with this company. I am surprised they are still trading. I put in an offer on a property they were selling. Some time later I asked them to re negotiate with vendor for a lower price as my own buyer had offered me £20,000 below my asking price.
Approx 1 week later Browns worker phoned me e to say lower offer had been accepted. I was surprised and asked again for clarification as this was a substantial drop in price. I then asked if vendor had been ok with this as I fully expected at very least to be asked to meet in the middle.
The worker then said vendor had not been happy but had agreed!
I was a little uncomfortable with response but delighted that I could now afford the move with a bit of wriggle room to meet unforseen expenses.
I heard no more from browns either by phone, e mail or letter. The first I knew that I had paid £15,000 more for my property than the figure we had agreed by phone was some weeks later on receipt of completion paperwork the day I moved in!
I confronted Browns but their response has been unbelievable. Complete denial of the negotiation phone contacts we had and referring me to memo of sale they said they had sent me. In a later e mail communication I was informed that in fact I had been handed this letter in person at their offices. I knew that was untrue as I never visited their office after the initial visit to confirm my identity when initial offer was made.
Unfortunately trading standards don't want to know and referred me back to citizens advice. Citizens advice suggested I take it up with solicitor . Solicitor said they knew nothing about a second reduced offer.
I am now putting in an official complaint which has to start by going through - yes you guessed it wm h brown! Wish me ????

Katelyn was amazing in showing us houses. She was very accommodating and she never missed a viewing appointment. However W.H brown have let us down before when we have turned up to viewings and they haven't, so Katelyn has changed our view!

At the beginning, I didn’t have a great experience with WHB when they were dealing with my property that I wanted to sell. It really caused stress and anxiety. However, my property ended up getting managed by someone else within the branch. Chloe Watson; who went above and beyond for me. I am grateful for all her help and guidance and she definitely is the reason why my experience with WHB changed for the better. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She was efficient, professional and had my best interests at heart. It was easy to communicate my concerns and worries with her as I knew I would get a quick response. Thank you again, Chloe! My family and I are really grateful.

Avoid at all Costs totally unprofessional I don’t write many reviews so it is with regret after today’s shocking experience I felt I must make all future property sellers aware. At 9.16am this morning I received a voicemail message from the lady manager of the William H Brown Oadby office advising that she would not be attending her prearranged appointment with us to do a valuation at 11.00am due to having to attend training. Surely WHB staff members are given notice in advance of training courses so why book an appointment to view our property. We are genuine and both my wife and myself had arranged our working day around this appointment and had spent a lot of time and effort to prepare our house and gardens for her visit so we could give the best impression for marketing our property. When I rang the manageress to see what was going on, she felt we should be understandable and grateful that she had rearranged our appointment to a week later when we wanted to put our house on the market ASAP. To be honest I was absolutely livid with her attitude and I told her we would be leaving a review to this effect and her response was it would not be fair but sorry you can’t treat your customers with such little respect. In hindsight this as definitely done us a favour so we have now gone with an agent that wants our business and we feel valued. The only thing I can agree with is that she definitely needs training on customer care skills, this is the real world but obviously this company needs to train the staff without affecting the everyday running of their business. I can now see why this branch of WHB as such a low rating of 3.8 and some very poor reviews compared with other estate agents in both Oadby & Wigston so give this company a miss and try better rated alternatives who will hopefully appreciate your custom.

Corrupt / Bribery: Made an offer well above asking and all cash, the agent said the selling has offers 30k more and is considering them. I find out later from Land Registry that the house sold for the asking price. Lower than my offer. Hence avoid these snakes.

we had a viewing booked for Glen Parva on 07 August at 4:15 PM. (We initially had it for 1:15 PM; which got rescheduled by William Brown)
I have received a voice message today from Samanta from William H Brown Oadby about us going to the property at 8:45 pm and how truly very very.... (5 times) disappointed she is with me.
Before blatantly accusing someone, she should have checked the fact first. We reached their 15 min early at around 4 pm and were waiting in the car for 6-7 min. then we realised there was no car parked in the driveway. so, we thought the previous viewers finished early. So, we knocked on the door and asked the owner that we are slightly early; is he okay to show us the property now? He was happy to do so.
And then, Samanta went on to give a lecture on trust and how important is trust. This is appalling unprofessional behaviour from an estate agent. I am a chartered engineer with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. I have no interest in taking a lesson on trust and commitment from anyone else. I know the value of time management and commitment very well.
Then I was told; that any future viewings might be affected by this; tell you what; I would think five times before looking at a property advertised by WHB Oadby.
Next time you accuse someone in that tone and language, please check your facts first.

Called their Leicester branch 4 times offering them business to take over the management of one of my properties. This can be proven too. They returned one call. Subsequent 3 calls were not returned despite saying they would call. Of course I found another agent, but people should be made aware of things like this and the purpose of posting this is solely to reveal how they operate. Good service should be recognised, and so should poor service. One star is fully justified considering the time wasted with this company when I could have dealt with someone else. Estate agents are just glorified sales staff these days. Where is the drive? The interest? Certainly not at this company.

The experience I had with William H Brown in Oadby was amazing. After speaking to a few estate agents in the area, It was clear that I was going to sell my house with William H Brown. I personally dealt with Declan, who came to value my house, he was exceptional, honest and upfront which made the choice easy. He put my property on the market and sold it by the following week! I also personally spoke to Arman & Samantha (branch manager) who were great to deal with. I got the sale on my property that I wanted and the buyer got a great home! I am glad I made the right choice selling with William H Brown in Oadby over others in the area. This level of personal service is what every business/estate agents should aspire to. Thank you!

Don't bother, very unprofessional. They'll book you for a viewing more than a week later from the day you called, only to notify you on the day of your viewing that the house is sold.
If you want to sell your house, find an estate agent who makes sure that all booked, interested buyers get a chance to give you an offer.
Shocking service...

We used the William H Brown Oadby branch for both our purchase and sale. The purchase was extremely complicated, and I cannot commend Jack at the branch enough for both his hard work and professionalism.
He was quick to respond throughout, going above and beyond (even out of hours), to deal with obstacles that were thrown up.
He was reassuring when issues arose, and he delivered on his promises. His commitment to getting the case completed was evident, and we as a family are extremely grateful for the major part he played in that.

Called Oadby branch with regards to a property viewing they advertised online. Jack the branch manager spoke directly and confirmed on more than 2 occasions once the keys are in his hands he will give me a call “ as I am first on his list”. Patiently waiting for the call and had NO RESPONSE. Went on right move to see the property has been sold. Very very poor service and shocking with the empty promises made. Never use this company absolutely shocking service. Needs new management if they want to maintain the reputation. Very sad at what has occurred.

I had my property valued by Jack back in November, put on the market within 24 hours and a sale agreed within 3 days of listing. Excellent service, advice and support throughout the whole transaction and we completed on our sale this morning. A huge thanks to Jack who made this all possible.
I would not hesitate to recommend William H Brown, Oadby to deal with the sale of your property. Thank you, Mr & Mrs Rogerson.

Even through these tough times they have been able to get our property sold and find us the perfect home to move to. If we ever need to sell again (hopefully not too soon) we will be calling you straight away. Thank you so much.

Put in an offer twice but didn't get any response despite being promised a 24 hour turnover on both instances. Both times I waited for a few days before contacting them. The second time they didn't even record my offer! Upon asking, they just whinned how busy they've been over the past days - absolutely unprofessional! I wouldn't let them manage my property!

My experience has been outstanding with this company. Natasha who was my mortgage advisor was extremely helpful, she had my best interest from day one, her approach was very transparent and everything she explained was detailed. All my questions, doubts and concerns were all clarified and I new exactly where I stood at each point in the process of buying my first house. I felt really comfortable and the service she provided was truly exceptional as she went above and beyond, I could call her/email her and she we would resolve all my queries, she even liaised with my solicitor. Cannot thank/compliment this place and it's staff enough, in particular Natasha. Thank You for all your help and getting me the best deal on the market, if it wasn't for you, I'd be lost.

Very rude staff, I went into the branch to discuss a property and the person said do you have an appointment? I only got to say no, and she said well we can't help then, if allowed to finish I was going to say, no I was looking a a property and can make an appointment for tomorrow, but I will just go over the road who have the same property for sale and buy there.

Brilliant people, Brilliant Service.
I feel compelled to write this review as I have recently had the pleasure of purchasing my first property through this branch. Their incredible and impeccable advice and service, very down to earth yet very professional and knowledgeable team at Oadby branch made me feel very confident and comfortable in dealing with the purchase of my property.
The flawless advice and guidance from the branch manager, Mr Sharad Patel and his assistance Mr Ajay Patel made my decision to purchase a particular property easier and less stressful.
I am very grateful to the branch’s senior mortgage consultant, Ms Natasha Conroy who I found to be very attentive, friendly and very professional. She found me the mortgage that met my exact needs of wanting a fixed term contract. Natasha also found me a Conveyancing Solicitors for dealing with the legal side of my purchase and that made everything less time consuming and seamless for me.
I feel so glad that I contacted “William H Brown” in Oadby, Leicestershire, as in all honesty I had neither the knowledge of how to purchase the property nor to obtain the mortgage. They provided me with “One Stop Property Solution” and made my life easier.
Well done A Team at “willam H Brown” of Oadby Branch!

More clowns than the local circus.. My partner and I viewed a property for sale with William H Brown. We later decided we would like to make an offer on the property. I called the agents i explained to them id like to make an offer, she told me i would have to speak to the sales team they and they would give me a call back ASAP... I waited 2 hours before calling them again i then got through to someone else who transferred me straight to the sales team where i told the person the offer i would like to make. They thanked me for my offer and said i would receive an email to confirm it and a posted letter to my address within 24hrs....
2 days later i received no email and no letter. i called the branch again and asked to speak to a manager. I was then put through to a manager who had no record of me making any offer. She invited me into the branch to discuss the offer and to review what position my partner and i were in to buy the property.
At this point i thought my offer was being taken seriously...
5 days later i went to the branch for the meeting with the manager. She sat me down and then asked me what was my purpose of the visit (remortgage, looking to buy, or just looking..) How un professional can you get, she clearly had no idea what i had came in for and had taken no notes from our phone call .... it gets much worse than this I'm afraid..
I then told her i had already made an offer on a property which they are selling. She checked my file on her system to then find there was no record of any offer on any property. (beginning to think they are just winding me up).
So before i left from the meeting i just double checked the offer was formally made and 100% in the system. She confirmed that with me.
We called the next day to follow up our offer then told us the offer has been declined. We then offered a higher price, they told us they would get back to us with the result.
We then took another look at the listing on zoopla to find that the house we are offering on was a repossession and the highest offer will be added to the description on the property as a "public notice" which we understand is the usual procedure for repossessed properties. Now this is not a problem but the problem was the agents should have told us this before offering and also the offer which was on the listing was higher than both of our offers.
So why did they waste our time telling us they will get back to us with the verdict of our offer when they already know another party has offered higher than ours. Why call us in to the branch to take time out of our day if our offer isn't even being taking seriously.
Biggest waste of time in my life. I really like the property and would be willing to offer more for it but this branch have given me the worst headache over all of this its better for my health to let this one go.
Will swerve way clear of any property being sold by William H Brown in the Future.

Doesn't even deserve a star.
Pushy staff. Tried to make me buy products and services with them. When I refused, as I had arrangements elsewhere, my offer was jeopardised. Had numerous lengthy telephone conversations trying to persuade me.
Poor communication, will never respond to anything in writing to cover his tracks.
I know buying a house can be stressing, but these guys give you the stress the minute you talk to them.
I wouldn't recommend buying or selling a house through William H Brown.
