What Our Customers Say

Hi Kevin, I hope you are well. Just a quick note to say that Ruby is an asset to your company. She is friendly, clear and concise, with a great phone manner, really listened to what I am looking for and came back to me so quickly with some perfect matches. I have been working in Estate Agency for 12 years and have also bought, sold and let throughout this time personally, and have never been that impressed with the service I have received until today. Always nice to give good feedback. Have a lovely Monday. Best Wishes Kate show more
Miss O, Hertfordshire, Nov 2025
Brown and Merry are a fantastic team. We worked with nearly all of the residential sales team at one time or another but the two we mainly dealt with were Corron and Ollie- both have gone the extra mile, making viewings easier, keeping us informed every step of the way. They have been friendly, approachable and helpful. Have no hesitation in giving a 5 * review. Highly recommended. show more
Mr S, Hertfordshire, Aug 2024
We have used Brown & Merry for our purchase for our first house as first time buyers. Really amazing team with wonderful people who helped us succeed in buying our first time house and gave their best to help us out and find our perfect home. Couldn't have asked for a better experience as first time buyers. Naz one of the mortgage advisors was awesome in helping us and being there for us every step of the way. Thank you so much for everything and we will be back for sure in the future. show more
Miss S, Hertfordshire, Jul 2024
We've had such a positive experience with Brown and Merry Hemel Hempstead. We've had contact with many of the team (Jamie, Jake, Tom, Kevin & Sarah) and everyone has been so helpful, friendly and made the process of putting our house on the market and finding a buyer a smooth and successful one. Our main dealings have been with Jake and he has been great. He has dealt with all our house viewings professionally and communicated really detailed feedback which was really helpful... show more
Mr & Mrs D, Hertfordshire, Nov 2021
Made some pretty optimistic promises on day one but not only delivered on the day but actually surpassed them! Possibly the only estate agents I would trust, friendly properly trained guys too show more
Mr E, Hertfordshire, Nov 2021
First class service from the very beginning. Jake couldn't have been better. He was professional in every respect and kept in contact with us so we were always aware of the latest developments. show more
Mr G, Hertfordshire, Oct 2021
We have recently purchased a property through Brown and Merry. Jake acted professionally, swiftly and was completely open and honest with us; without compromising his duty to his client, the vendor. Once terms were agreed, their attention to detail was second to none - with Kevin and Jamie following through on items blocking progress. We have now instructed Stephen Counden in their lettings team to let the property for us. Thank you Brown and Merry team. You have two very happy customers! show more
Mr & Mrs C, Hertfordshire, Oct 2021

I would like to pass on my thank you and appreciation to the whole Brown & Merry Team at Hemel Hempstead for the brilliant and professional approach to selling our property and helping us buy and secure the new property we very much wanted. We worked with Tom Fitzgerald mainly during the process throughout the buying and selling procedure and he was great to work. His professionalism and calm nature to dealing with all situations and delivering in a timely manner was perfect. show more
Mr C, Hertfordshire, Feb 2021
Thank you so much to Tom Collins and Steve for their hard work getting us into our new property promptly. Fantastic customer service and when we had a two day emergency it was rectified within a couple of hours. A fantastic team that I have rented from previously and have chosen to rent through again. Thanks again everyone, very happy in our new home. show more

Great individual support

I’ve had the pleasure of Sarah’s expertise for all my mortgage transactions - whether a remortgage or for a new purchase - over the last 7 years. Her knowledge is second to none and she is thorough in her work; I have always had complete confidence in her. Navigating the minefield that is untrustworthy estate agency and mortgage brokering has been made infinitely easier with Sarah’s help.

Mortgage renewal

Sarah was amazing!!
She talked through and explained everything in a way that I could understand. She also took the time to show us various different options of life insurances and helped set up our Will.
She was kind, honest and professional as well as very thorough to make sure we got the best mortgage possible.
Thank you, I will be recommending Sarah to friends and family in the future.
