What Our Customers Say

Suzanne was exceptional. We have had dealings with other agents before and when the older couple at Intercounty left (branch now closed) we struggled to find an agent who did what it said on the tin. Suzanne responded immediately to our requests during the conveyancing process for the sale of our rented property. As usual, the process was frustrating and tortuous, mainly down to the buyer's solicitors being tardy, and Suzanne brought the whole process to a satisfactory conclusion. Thank you. show more
Mr B, Essex, Dec 2025
This is a review for Suzanne Towse who assisted us during the sale of our property, from the outset Suzanne kept us up to date with the process, very helpful and quick to reply/resolve any queries. Thanks Suzanne. show more
Mrs S, Essex, Dec 2025
Suzanne Towse from WHBrown was absolutely brilliant. We had issues with the sale of my parents property after their deaths. There were only three in the chain yet the solicitors were slow and always raising issues and ignoring our emails. Suzanne kept us up to date, gave us timely information, help and support. She also remained calm and professional when I was pulling my hair out at the many problems. From the date we accepted the offer to completion was almost 8 months but she never gave up on us or forgot to contact us. I would never have got through it all without her help as we found getting information from anywhere else impossible at times. She also helped get missing documentation on our behalf. In my opinion a real asset to WH Brown. show more
Mrs D, Shropshire, Sep 2025
I requested a viewing through rightmove and was called straight away by Emma to arrange this viewing. We had Georgia do our viewing, she was professional, confident and answered all the questions we had. We then had the lovely Suzanne for the sales progression, this women went above a beyond for us. We was kept updated the whole way through and even when times were a bit uncertain she was on the other end of the phone reasurring me that it would be ok and she wasn't wrong! show more
Mr A, Essex, Jul 2025
I had a fantastic experience working with Suzanne from William H Brown. She was consistently responsive to all my emails and questions, always providing helpful and timely updates. Suzanne truly went above and beyond to support me throughout the process. Even though it was a complex chain sale with several complications, she made everything feel much smoother and more manageable. Her advice was always prompt, clear and spot-on. I would highly recommend Suzanne’s services to anyone. show more
Miss L, Essex, Jul 2025

Mr C, Essex, Jun 2025
Warren did a great job getting a buyer quickly. Suzanne also did a great job working with the conveyancers through to completion. I would use WHB again. show more
Mr M, Essex, Jun 2025
Dealt mostly with Emma at the beginning of the purchase and Suzanne for the sales progression. Both were really helpful and Suzanne was very responsive and proactive where she could be to get the sale completed. She was very professional, even when dealing with what felt like my millions of emails! Many thanks. show more
Miss F, Essex, May 2025
Excellent, amicable and efficient service we got from the onset till completion on purchasing our Braintree property. Thank you Suzanne for all your tireless efforts for us to achieve this. Thanks to Emma, Nick and the whole team. Really appreciate all you did through this journey. show more
Mr M, Essex, Apr 2025
Penny and I appreciate the communications Suzanne dealt with during the process of selling our properties. Suzanne was responsive, friendly and invaluable, particularly at the end of our buying process when it looked unlikely we would exchange before the April Stamp Duty increase. She was key in ensuring we exchanged on time and found us a removal company when our own and others were fully booked. Thank you Suzanne show more
