GoogleMyself and my partner have had a great experience buying our first home through Connells. We viewed the property twice, once with Lewis and once with Ellis and both were very helpful. We have also had a lot of contact with Christine throughout the process who has been great and has chased up solicitors for us and kept us updated. I would also recommend Roland Ganynor for mortgage services as he very quickly helped us secure a mortgage. Overall we are very happy with the service received from all members of the team.

We are quite unique by having sales progressors who are solely responsible to ensure they are on hand to help push the sale through and deal with any speed humps that come up during the transaction. I will also pass your thoughts back to Michael and Michelle and ask them to keep up the optimism so they can help many more clients moving forward.Kind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

Will Nash was absolutely brilliant with helping me and my partner buy our first house. Will was very knowledgeable and completely took care of everything from start to finish. Always kept us updated and made us feel at ease throughout the process. I have recommended Will to all my friends who are also looking to buy as he was excellent!

TrustpilotAmazing service!
The sales guys at the Basildon branch were very professional and efficient. The sales progressor Chelsey was my absolutely amazing throughout the whole process when my first sale fell through, she helped pushed things through to gaining a new buyer and then a completion within 28days from the start of the new year! Couldn't have done it without her!

Even thought we didn't end up buying through them, they were very helpful throughout. Aseena was extremely helpful and hardworking, constantly informing me of new properties and trying to find what we wanted. As I said we didn't buy through them so can not comment on that process but through our search process it was very good

Branch Manger Robin was excellent in dealing with queries. He was always accessible. In his absence there was more than one person in the office who talks enthusiastically and with knowledge about the property. Level of service provided was beyond of my expectation.

Our aim is always to ensure that the service level we offer is not like many agents until you agree a sale, it's right through until the day of completion. If we can help moving forward please do not hesitate to contact us.Kind regardsPaul IngletonAssociate Operation Director

Two months later than we expected we finally "exchanged contracts" yesterday. Thanks to Nicolle Eustration and her hard work keeping everyone in the chain informed and chasing problems until they were resolved.
Without your help and co-ordination, I am sure we would not have reached "exchange of contracts" . Many thanks for going that extra mile Nicolle.

Dear Ms Davenport,Thank you very much for your feedback regarding Nicolle. Very few estate agents have Sales Progressors to do what Nicolle does in keeping on top of sales once they have been agreed and their customers are all the poorer for it. Nicolle often goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure every customer buying or selling through Douglas Allen moves in the most stress-free manner possible and she will be delighted to see her efforts have been recognised in your review.I wish you much happiness in your new home.Regards, Jon Holden, Managing Director, Douglas Allen
