I placed my property for sale with William H Brown instructing them that I required a quick sale, I was assured that the buyer already had a mortgage in principal (which i found out later they did not), I dropped £1000 off to use their recommended solicitors (who are absolutely useless) the property is empty costing me money and searches are coming through one at a time on a weekly basis, it is now week 12 and no end date in site. due to the solicitors and buyers acting so slow, I requested the property be placed back on the market to which William H Brown argued and encouraged me to hold out a little which I did, just to find more searches have come through which are pointless. Do not touch with a barge pole!!!!

Are you sure you mean searches and not enquiries? If it is enquiries raised, then this is down to the purchasers' solicitor, not the estate agent or your solicitor. If you do mean searches then:

Point 1; the speed of which searches arrive are not dictated by the estate agent nor the purchasers' conveyancer. The sooner the buyer pays for it, the sooner they can be submitted.

Point 2; the type of searches that come back are not dictated or made up by the estate agent or legal conveyancer. They are what they are and they need dealing with head on to speed up a transaction.

Please check your facts and the understanding of how the process works before submitting any further assumptive comments.

Full management fee was £1530 plus a further £540 admin charges. ABSOLUTE RIP OFF given that they neglected and completely mismanaged the property. They will take the fee and then tell you when their is an issue that the management fee only covers administration.

This must of happened to us our offers not gone through to seller, William h brown didn't even log out details after telling them twice. They let us go through a long process and waste people's time. We asked for a transfer from jobs and schools and had a builder go round to see work needed doing.. I'm convinced they have sold it to one of their own, when I find out I'm taking it further even if it takes me years . This can't happen to people's feelings, they can't keep getting away with it X ...
