Completion on bungalow

I have just completed on a bungalow and Chelsea Baldwin our sales progressor has been an absolute rock.She rings when she says she will and emails when she says she will. I was never left waiting at any time for a response to anything. I cant thank her enough and would not have got through the process without her help and knowledge. I would recommend her services to anyone .Thank you Chelsea and thank you Douglas Allen

Waqas Michelle and Michael Chadwell Heath

I called Douglas Allen Chadwell Heath to enquire about a property I wanted to view, I also telephoned many other agents and I would like to thank Waqas for really taking the time to understand my requirements, also suggesting other properties for me to view. He really stood out from all the other agents, a real credit to the company he explained the process and recommended I see Faisal Noor about my mortgage and get my solicitors ready. I was made to feel welcome by the rest of the team Michelle and Michael now they added me to the home finder service. Thank You

Tanya Keene sales progressor, both professional and organised, thank you.

Tanya Keene, from Douglas Allen, sales progressor, is a very professional and proactive person who helped me with the sale of my mum's house sale. From the start she was in touch with me, updating me with the progress of the sale and also giving me good advice about things I needed to know, in order to manage the sale efficiently. As I hadn't sold a property before, it's good to know that there are nice people like Tanya, who give good honest advice to you with efficiency and professionalism. It can be a stressful job to do, when stepping in unknown territory, however Tanya made this seem like a smooth transition until the contract s were exchanged also supporting me even after this was done. I feel more people like her are needed in this world. Thank you to Tanya for all her help and advice

Dear Shazia,Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post this 5 Star review concerning Tanya, one of team of Sales Progressors. Many agents don't go to the trouble of employing Sales Progressors but, as you have witnessed yourself, we feel they are essential in offering a premium service when the natural events of moving home can be stressful.Tanya will be chuffed with your recognition but more so that she was able to help so much with the sale of your mother's home.Kind regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director

Viewing for a property we loved

I have been looking to move to barkingside for a while now and had done a few viewings with other agents that was very basic, after calling into the barkingside branch regarding a property of interest I came across Hasan and instantly felt the warm welcome from the way he answered the phone and the passion he spoke with. However the main reason for this review was that, during weekdays myself and the Mrs work late however Douglas Allen’s Hasan catered to our needs and done a one of viewing for us at out of work hours . Even though the property was not right for us I would highly recommend Hasan and douglas Allen,as he never made us feel unwanted and took the time to listen to us!

Quality service!!

Just completed my first property purchase through Douglas Allen and couldn't have had a more professional and tailored service from the start to finish. My experience was with the Chadwell heath branch with a member of there team Waqas he was very helpful and helped me in everyway to work around my personal busy schedule to ensure this property can be viewed which allowed me to make the right choice and purchase, also helped me reach my completion target time frame as requested. Once again highly recommended company and team.Thank you Nickesh Gadhvi

Danny and the team recently helped me sell my property. They were in constant communication with me giving me regular updates and feedback on viewings. They were professional, reliable and most importantly they were honest! They managed my expectations with the valuation of my property from the start which meant I was more than happy with the price I got for my property. I would highly recommend Danny and the team.PositiveProfessionalism

Ray and Janine from Douglas Allen were invaluable in helping get our house purchase over the line, with regular communication that never felt like it was too pushy or demanding. Ray was extremely proactive, going above and beyond to help push along our own sale by staying in contact with our own solicitors and freeholder. This was despite the fact that Ray was only meant to be responsible for the house we were buying (not selling)! Overall we would highly recommend Douglas Allen, and Ray and Janine in particular, for ensuring our house move went as smoothly as possible, thanks a lot!Robin and Tash

Amazing estate agent!

This is an amazing estate agent with fantastic professional knowledgeable staff. I can not express how impressed I am with the service I have received from this place. My house was for sale with 4 agents and Douglas Allen was the one that got me the sale at the price I wanted. They have a feedback system where I can see online who is booked in for viewings and feedback I receive which is fantastic. They always notified me on everything that was happening and were such a pleasure to speak to. Thanks Gizem for everything and thanks to Les for all of your amazing advice. I will always recommend Douglas Allen to everyone! You are truely above and beyond your competitors out there! Well done!

I have just completed on the sale of my flat. I used an online agent first and what a mistake that was as they lost my keys and couldn’t get me an offer. It took Steve and his team at Woodford less than a week to find me a buyer for a great price. I don’t live there so they even helped clear the property before exchange and I’m so happy I asked them to take over the sale of my flat.

Rented a property through Douglas Allen Basildon. Abbie and Chloe made sure the process was quick and easy. The team in Basildon are so friendly and approachable. From showing us round the property Abbie secured our tenancy and finalised all the details in just a few hours. They have both been readily available to us either by phone or email and kept us updated every step of the way. They have even assisted us with a few things after we moved into the property which has been of great help. Thanks again

Our general experience with douglas allen from start to finish has been unbelievable.The staff attitude towards the sale was second to none! we felt comfortable with their knowledge and experience throughout. In particular Zik Ikeh sold our property with ease it seemed! We were amazed by the amount of potential buyers at our door. We thank Andy and his team of super sellers for their enthusiasm and professionalism for the sale of our property, and would most certainly use them again and definitely keep them in mind for selling and buying with friends and family.WELL DONE TEAM KEEP UP THE MAGNIFICENT WORK!!!

We had the pleasure of dealing with Chelsey Baldwin from Douglas Allen for our first house purchase. In the midst of a global pandemic, and a couple of hiccups along the way, Chelsey was absolutely fantastic in dealing with whatever was needed. Chelsey was available for communication throughout the entire process, which honestly was invaluable. Not only is Chelsey a true professional but she does it with personality, humour and kindness.

Outstanding

Outstanding, Thank YouWhile out viewing properties with Chadwell Heath office I met Michal Aloto at the open house, he discussed my situation and I had just put my property on the market with an online agent. After a couple of months I accepted an offer and when Michael was discussing new properties for me to buy said he thought the offer was low, he felt that he had buyers ready who could view my house and as it’s no sale no fee I agreed for him to come round. The first open house was a success and I got the offer £15,000 more. I had more viewers in one day than I’d had for past two months. This brilliant service didn’t stop, every time I’ve called the office the staff are all very helpful, Michelle took time to explain and help me understand what happens next. Thank you Michael and Michelle I would highly recommend.

Dear Zubeda, Thank you for taking the time to add your thoughts on the Chadwell Heath office's Michael and Michelle. It is having the local knowledge and experience that will ensure that you get the best possible price for your property linked with having a motivated and dedicated sales force who really want to help. I can see that this really has worked for you. As we say to many clients it's not the fee you pay that matters its the amount you get at the end that really counts and I can see from your comments you are thousands of pounds better off. I look forward to this moving through quickly for you and wish you all the best for the futureKind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

Basildon Branch

When I first started to look for a property, I had no idea how the whole process works. The team at Basildon, specifically Abbie, were fantastic. They were very welcoming and understanding to my situation, going through various properties and the fees in a clear manner.Before and after a viewing, I was kept updated on the situation in a quick and timely manner. Even when there was a couple of problems with my guarantors, Abbie went out of her way to try and accommodate me and find a solution that suited me.The whole process went smoothly and the team were very friendly every time I went into the branch. Would definitely use them again in the future.

Chadwell Heath branch.

Excellent team effort so individual people all deserve a mention.Chadwell Heath branch manager Les secured our business by offering valuation etc on his route home after the shop had closed when other agents would not make themselves available for a further 2, 3 days. He clearly explained the process to us and inspired confidence in his teams ability to successfully market our home.Gizem handled the open house viewings with tact and diplomacy.Michelle, Michael and Charlotte were always on hand and extremely helpful when issues occurred with our buyers.Once we accepted our purchasers offer our file was moved to Andrew Bilby, sales progressor based at East Ham branch. We cannot thank Andrew enough for his conscientious and effective approach when dealing with some difficult issues. Our ongoing purchase was through an on line agent and the experience was awful but could have been a whole lot worse. Thankfully Andrew recognised the issues created by this on line agent and took it upon himself to take control of the whole chain and has worked tirelessly to ensure all parties were communicating with one another, even contacting the builders for people at the top end of the chain to keep things fluid.We have been copied into each and every email sent to keep us abreast of developments and telephones calls without prompt, have been received in order to update too, even if there have been no significant developments.Having lived in the address we have just vacated for over 27 years this has been a stressful time, but the staff at Douglas Allen have been excellent and made this process so much easier to deal with and we cannot thank them enough.I would highly recommend Douglas Allen estate agents.Thank you.

Dear Craig, Your feedback on the Chadwell Heath office and the full team is gratefully appreciated, unfortunately many clients believe that all agents are the same, I am pleased that you have realised that by offering a Premium Service we are totally different. We are always on hand and have well experienced and dedicated staff that are more than happy to go the extra mile to help. We always help to manage the chain once a sale is agreed as we are aware that many agents do not progress sales to ensure their client moves on with their lives. I will pass you thanks onto the Chadwell Heath office.Remember we are always here to help you or anyone else you know moving forward.Kind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

Excellent service

Chloe and Abbie have been excellent in guiding us through the letting of mum's house. From the start Chloe was so professional we cancelled other agents and went with DAS. She sold the company really well, and answered every question we had thoroughly. Abbie took over for the viewing and letting phase and also kept us up to date with all that was going on. The ouse has now been let and we can keep ourselves up to date using the online system, which is good for us as we live in France. Top service so far, well done everyone!

Estate agents

Estate agents, like double glazing salesmen and traffic wardens generally have a hard time of things from the public. But I can genuinely say that the team at DAS in Billericay have been absolutely fantastic for me in initially surveying my property, taking it to market, finding a good buyer and then seeing things through to completion. They will phone you back when they say they will, they will keep you updated with the progression and I really feel they work very hard for you.
