What Our Customers Say

Bought our house with William H Brown recently, from the very first viewing of the house till receiving the keys it's been a great experience. Had great communication with Poonam and Priya. They both were really helpful and fast getting back to us. They made our process as first time buyers easy and stress free. I would highly recommend. show more
Mr P, Leicestershire, Jan 2026
I recently moved into my new home with the help of William H Brown. My house sale took longer than expected due to the buyers not having the correct information - no fault of the estate agents at all. After two failed attempts it was third time lucky, & each time the team found a new buyer straight away. A huge thank you to Paulo, Grace and the whole of the City Centre Leicester branch for their hard work & dedication. They went above & beyond to make my move possible. The team, especially the girls, were exceptionally helpful & supportive throughout the process. Thank you for all your effort in getting my house sold& helping me move into my new home - I truly couldn't have done it withwithout. show more

Miss J, Leicestershire, Jun 2023
I filled in a form online to register my interest in a free valuation. From that minute - I have been on a rollercoaster of positive encounters & experiences. I had a call straight away from Mia who was so friendly over the phone & reassuring as this is a big scary step - selling a house I love! I then met Chloe, a young knowledgeable hardworking & patient. She came prepared with price comparable houses in my area & didn't put any pressure on me to choose them. show more
Mrs C, Leicestershire, Apr 2023
As a first time buyer with no idea how to go about the process of buying, I can say that all the team at W H Brown Leicester were absolutely amazing from start to finish. We hit a few hiccups along the way (nothing to do with W H Brown) but the team were amazing and reassuring throughout. They simplified the process for me and kept in constant contact. Very impressed with the service. show more
Mr B, Leicestershire, Apr 2022
I really enjoyed the work done by this agency, especially Geeta and rob. In addition to being efficient, helpful, always ready to solve any type of problem and fast, they are very nice and friendly. I recommend 1000%. Thank you for your help and advice. show more
Miss N, Leicestershire, Jul 2021
Very polite, professional & efficient team. I am in the process of purchasing a house. Rob, Poonam, Paul & Raj have all been assisting very promptly with the sale. I was able to view the property the day I requested to view, my offer was accepted in a couple of days and next Raj kindly took it off the market as soon as possible at my request. Now in terms of service I feel this is second to none which I'm sure you would agree. I will be using them again. show more
