Ernest Wilson's main website is http://www.ernest-wilson.co.uk/ and there's also a live blogspot site at http://ernest-wilson-business-sales.blogspot.co.uk/ (there are also a couple of other blogspot sites which haven't been updated recently).
A search of the sites shows 767 properties currently advertised and around 250-300 sold per year. This fits in with the 'thirds' rule of thumb that roughly 1/3 of properties sell quickly, 1/3 sell eventually and 1/3 are unlikely to sell. (Of course, the agent gets their fees either way...)
Ernest Wilson is mentioned a few times on Just Answer and there were some interesting reviews on Qype which were deleted but the archive remains - links below. There was also an "Ernest Wilson in the North of England" complaints website and an entry on canyoutrustthem.com but both have disappeared without trace.
Also worth a read are the websites set up by customers of other business transfer agents.
