Douglas Allen the worst estate agents in East Ham- avoid at all cost
The worst estate agents in East Ham. Don’t return your calls. Information given to you is false. The staff are only interested in their commission and keep telling their vendors this. Totally unprofessional. Avoid at all cost The fees they charged are too much and you don’t get the service you expect

Excellent service
Outstanding service. Joanna Martin was brilliant. Always respond within a day and keep chasing the reference check company (which is a nightmare).10/10 for Doulas Allen 0/10 for referencing company

Can’t fault Douglas Allen
Can’t fault Douglas Allen. Admittedly I didn’t end up purchasing through them but I found them, Spencer in particular, the most pro-active agents of all that I signed up with (and there were a few!). They also accommodated late and last minute viewings which really helped.With that in mind, when I come to sell, I’d use them.
Dear Cheryl, Thank you for your feedback on Spencer and our company. We are fully aware that being pro-active and really wanting to help our clients is the key to being successful. Whilst we have set opening hours we appreciate that wherever possible we will offer the flexibility and help our clients however last minute then request is.We look forward to helping you sell your home when ready, but if you need any advice or assistance in the meantime, just let us knowKind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

First Time Buyer w/ Douglas Allen
After finding our dream property at Douglas Allen, we were assisted by David Tomlins, who has been extremely helpful and patient in keeping us up to date with all the formal proceedings and necessary paperwork required. He's definitely made the whole process a lot less stressful and I would recommend him to anyone else looking to buy a property at Douglas Allen. Overall I would describe our current experience as nothing short of amazing.

Kim Douglas Allen
Kim, who is the Agent we are dealing with from Douglas Allen is a delightful, kind, honest and informative representative for her company. She listens and is not pushy as some Estate Agents are, which is completely off putting. She is trying hard to accommodate my needs in a search for the right property and I have faith in her succeeding in doing so.

An exceptional level of high quality service from the Douglas Allen team
Within a week of marketing my property I had an offer. I put my trust in Douglas Allen to find the most suitable buyer in every aspect. I couldn't believe my luck when the offer was confirmed. I am very grateful to the team for being committed and using their knowledge and expertise to find a buyer.

Fast, efficient and got the price we were looking for
Douglas Allen provided us with excellent service both in buying - and selling - our house and new property. The same agent (Ray Phipps) oversaw both purchase and sale, was available when we needed to speak to him and conducted viewings that resulted in at least five offers above our target price. We couldn't be happier.
Hi Victoria,Thank you for your comments regarding Ray Phipps from my Wanstead office. Ray has worked for us now for over 10 years and has that genuine will to want to help his clients throughout the moving process. I am pleased to hear that you had so many offers over your asking price and I am sure you will have fun spending that extra cash !thanks againRob WadeAssociate Operations Director

I have been very impressed with the service, approach, professionalism, honesty and general support by Ammer Haroon in our journey finding somewhere to buy. The process can be somewhat frustrating but his assistance and approach really makes such a difference. I would recommend you speak to him whether you are looking to buy or sell.
Hi RME,thank you for your comments regarding the Honest, professional and transparent service that you received from Ammer in the Ilford Office.Thanks againRob wadeAssociate Operations Director

Excellent service
Douglas Allen treated me with respect and professionalism. I was helped pretty much by everyone, but I dealt specifically with Abbie and Chloe. They were both helpful, polite and professional. I particularly appreciated Abbie's efforts and availability when it came to the nitty-gritty of dealing with the contract between me and the tenants.Thanks
Hi Evary,Thank you for taking the time to post your review regarding Chloe and Abbie in our Letting Department.I was pleased to see that they have give you a premium service and covered the key points with you.Thanks againRob WadeAssociate Operations Director
