No !
sometimes if the car has been stood for a few day's or after heavy rain or washing,the handbrake can stick a bit then it will release this is not uncommon.
it may well be that the little swivel pin that connects the handbrake cable to the rear shoe (if it has shoes at the rear) is either starting to seize up or is clogged in brake dust
