Chingford branch,

Chingford branch,I made the mistake of going with a online agent who seem to take my money upfront and couldn’t care less after that. James came to see me and I knew he was the right person for the job. After 3 weeks lots of viewings and several offers he secured me a great price and the best thing is they are also refunding what I payed purple bricks. So it’s a win win situation for me. Also like to say that Jake and Jess and Katelin were great at keeping me updated. Couldn’t recommend the team more.

All round good experience

Douglas Allen provided pre-tenancy services on our new flat. Abbie was great - she kept us informed and helped us to get into our new place well before Christmas :)There were a few things about the process which were slightly irregular - the main one to speak of was that we were not invited to attend the inventory as it was taken, as I have been with previous tenencies. However eveything on it looks in order and accurate, and I don't forsee it causing any issues.

Where to start

Where to start! First impressions of Douglas Allen were great, meeting Stuart really put me at ease and I felt very happy for him and his team to sell my property. He commented ok how nice my home was which went a long way. Ben, Hazel and Stuart have been consistently working hard, generating various viewings and ultimately leading to the sale of my property. I felt very looked after during this process and can honestly say I would highly recommend Stuart and his team (including Alastair) to anyone thinking of taking the plunge and selling/buying a property.Great job guys and thank you so much for all your hard work, it’s very much appreciated!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Moving home is never an easy experience …

Moving home is never an easy experience but the team at Douglas Allen did all they could to make this process as painless as possible from start to finish.From a fair and accurate pricing of my sale home through to ensuring only genuinely interested parties came to view.Trevor from the team was a real standout for me as he kept me posted throughout and went to every extra effort to secure viewings, gather feedback and communicate with all parties involved in the eventual sale.My home is now sold as of today and Id like to thank the team at Douglas Allen and especially Trevor as I really know he went the extra mile

Trevor is a true asset to Douglas Allen, highly recommended.

Trevor at Douglas Allen Billericay was a delight. He was very diligent and caring and made us feel looked after. We invited 5 agents over before we choose Trevor and one thing that stuck with us is how he noted; " you have a lovely home here". This kind natured approach made us feel as if we could trust Trevor to look after us and throughout the process he did. As with all transactions, There were hiccups but Trevor did a great job in calming the situations as the came along and acting as a key liaison between us and our buyers. Additionally, the online sale portal was a huge benefit to us as we are busy professionals so being able to log in and see feedback from viewings, how many emails were sent the number of appointments arranged etc really added to quantify the value of Douglas Allen Billericay. The after sale care from Natasha the progressor was solid and she did a good job banging the solicitor's heads together on a number of occasions. Paul, Kate and the rest of the team were also more than happy to help in Trevor's absence. Most of all 5 stars for putting up with us as needy clients. Great job everyone!

my property to my buyer

my property to my buyer, I am so overwhelmed when I had the phone call from my sales professor, Douglas Alan agent, brilliant lady called Chelsey Baldwin.We had stuck through together rough times with delays, uncertainty, rollercoaster emotions, frustration and anger. Chelsey was very supportive, gives advice, opinions, chases throughout the day, weeks, months to update me. Very professional in dealing with solicitors, very sympathetic and understanding to me, I felt like Chelsey was my solicitor at a point as seems like she was doing everything alone! Such a great person, very thankful for all her hard work and deserve a big credit! Much appreciated, good job and well done!

Chadwell Heath Douglas Allen

We decided to buy and sell with Douglas Allen in February 2017. The chadwell Heath office were very helpful and gave us lots of information prior to selling. Unlike other estate agents they did not put lots of pressure on us. As everyone does we shopped around and looked at other estate agents. In December 2016 we were quoted our house was £325,000 by another estate agents. We decided to wait and two months later in February 2017 we decided to sell. When a guide price of £375,000 was set, my husband and I were in shock. That’s a difference of £50,000 in two months. We have a young family so we opted for the Saturday open house and were amazed that we had over 50 people to view the house and had 8 offers all for on or above the guide price. The Douglas Allen website was very useful in showing how many people viewed our property online and feedback of viewings. Our property finally sold at ten thousand above the guide price and we found a very good buyer as the property we were intended to buy required a grant of probate. The staff at chadwell Heath office were amazing in selling our property swiftly. I would personally like to thank Les, Michelle, Michael and Gizem for all there help. Especially Michael who finally sold our property. Thanks you chadwell Heath team! Also, finally I want to mention theSales progressor for our sale, Chelsey Baldwin for all her help as well.You all are a great assets to the Douglas Allen company. Thank you and I enjoy moving into my new home!

Big thank you to Ammer

Big thank you to Ammer, been looking for a property for my son for a long time now wanted to be close to home. Found the property in Newbury Park 5 minutes from the family home. He referred me over to the mortgage advisor Kally who was also very helpful. I have had dealings with many agents over the past few months but none have been as consistent as Ammer. I would recommend using Ammer to find a property for sure.

Sale review

Douglas Allen provided and excellent service in selling my property recently. Ray Phipps marketed the property and contacted potential buyers immediately - the property was STC within a few weeks at the asking price! Janine kept me updated throughout the sale and was always willing to chase solicitors on my behalf which was much appreciated.Overall, the whole team at Douglas Allen were helpful and timely in their response to any questions.We have used Douglas Allen before for the sale of property and we would recommend them and use them again.

Not your average Estate Agent.

Not your average Estate Agent.From the moment we started our house search the Team at Chingford were amazing.Jake was great at keeping us updated of new properties coming into the market and thankfully we found through Douglas Allen as when it came to offering James and Jess were very helpful and professional. Once our purchase was agreed Natasha was fantastic at keeping us updated the whole way through and even when things were not going quite as we wanted James and Natasha managed to find a solution that we were all happy with.We are now very happy in our new home all thanks to the Team at Douglas Allen Chingford.Mr P

I have very recently been in contact with Ellie Gates who is newly employed by Douglas Allen. She is very knowledgeable with all aspects of buying and selling a property and has been keeping me informed with new properties that may fit my families needs. I am in the very early process of looking to buy and sell and already feel that she is going to be a valuable contribution helping me through the process. Thanks Ellie

Outstanding service from Douglas Allen Chingford

Outstanding service from Douglas Allen at Chingford but special mention goes to Jess for her commitment, dedication and persistence in helping us find a new home. After 2 years and 2 failed attempts through other agents Jess was the one who finally enabled us to make the move that we had been desperately trying to achieve and we can't thank her and the team enough. If we ever need an estate agent again we wouldn't consider anyone else and would definitely recommend.

Douglas Allen Chingford

what a fantastic choice choosing Douglas Allen, from Jess covering and answering all questions at the valuation really putting us at rest, to Jake making sure all our viewings ran smoothly, then i really felt the manager James was working for us to get every penny for our home when the offers come in, constant contact keeping us in the loop made it as pain free as possible i would recommend douglas allen and the chingford office 100x over thank you all!!

Douglas Allen in Woodford will get your home sold and they are really good to deal with!

My property had been on the market for two months with an independent estate agent, they were nice people but even after two months, I had no offers despite all of the feedback being really positive. I decided to contact Douglas Allen because I'd heard good things and I can honestly say those good things are true! I met Steve who is one of the Branch Partners and his enthusiasm and genuine commitment and love for his job shines through. He walked into my home and was enthusiastic about selling it and really wanted me to know that I could trust him to do a good job. He was professional and persuasive at all times and he motivates the younger members of his team to be extremely customer focused and enthusiastic too. I got two offers within two weeks of my flat being on the market with Douglas Allen and I have now accepted an offer. Steve has been in communication with me every day and is available by email, phone and text. I also thought it was really good how the sellers online web area is updated regularly. I could see literally minute to minute what the sales team were doing to sell my home and I could see at one glance what the viewers were saying about my home. I was impressed at how diligently this information was kept up to date. Steve also helped me to think through the purchase of my new build property and I really appreciated that too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steve and his team, they are still there to take care of me until the sale completes and I find this really reassuring.

Very pleasent experience with Hasan (East Ham Branch)

Hasan was my first point of contact when I started using Douglas Allen. I am very thankful for his genuine advice and help throughout the entire process from start to finish. It was a pleasent surprise to find an agent that wasnt pushing me to buy something that I wasnt sure of and had my best interest in mind. Especially as I was a first time buyer in the UK its easy to be mislead or be given deceitful advice so I was lucky to have such support!

We took the Douglas Allen Basildon …

We took the Douglas Allen Basildon branch on after having no viewings from our initial Estate Agent and we are so glad we did. Joelle and the team were so proactive, motivated and within a week had a number of potential buyers come and view our house and within 4 weeks had sold our house. The online account we had with them was great to keep up to speed with how our property was marketed and the amount of people that had viewed our details including record of viewers to the house and if any offers was made. We would definitely recommend this branch to others as they are so friendly and willing to do the very best for you. Thanks Basildon.

Thank you Abbie and Chloe

I am very grateful that I had the chance of having Abbie and Chloe taking care of all the letting process for me.I was away on holidays and I needed to find a place to rent before I came back and Abbie was the only letting advisor, from many agencies that I contacted, that was keen to help me with my search. Thank you so much Abbie and Chloe for being so professional, kind and always available to answer all my doubts and queries.

East Ham Branch - Property Sold Holborn Road, Plaistow E13 8Pb

I was originally going to go with another agency but was stopped in my tracks by what Douglas Allen had to offer. My property was sold in under 2 weeks, I did not expect it to go so quickly and from the beginning to the end Natasha who works at the East Ham Branch kept me updated with the sale process, arranging viewings, open days and keeping me in the loop regarding the feed back. I also had dealt with Andrew from the East Ham branch who was absolutely brilliant, he was so professional and chased up the buyers solicitors, constantly communicating with all involved including our new build and our solicitors. Andrew made the whole transaction smooth and hassle free, taking away my stress and advising me on realistic timescales. The relationship built with him was not only professional but it was also pleasurable to hear his reassuring voice at the end of the phone took the panic out of the experience..I shall miss that voice. I think selling and buying a new house at the same time and being in a chain is stressful enough so you really need to choose your agencies wisely and I have to be honest so that others who have take the time to read my review wouldn't automatically choose the cheapest but choose the best and make sure you understand what you are getting for your money.

The best in Basildon

We was really happy with the attentive service we received from the minute we spoke to simon about marketing our property, they organised everything and kept us informed throughout. All the viewings were accompanied by a member of staff who made every effort to sell our home .the app was also very informative and gave us an idea of what people were saying about our home , the home brochure was outstanding as well . once sold the after sales team ,mainly Chelsey, kept us informed throughout and was continually chasing solicitors for us .I can't recommend them enough and would thank Alex ,Simon and Chelsey for all the help they gave us in the marketing and quick sale of our property

Attentive, hard working and honest

Attentive, hard working and honestWe recently completed our purchase through Douglas Allen and we are very happy with the service overall. Andy Dumas understood what we were after and showed us several appropriate properties for our budget and taste. Andy was very attentive and helpful and we would recommend him and DA in general to any prospective buyers. They know the area well and work hard for you. We also were served well by other staff including Greg and Keith who helped push the purchase through as quickly as possible. Picking an estate agent is tough and there are a lot of bad ones out there, but I speak honestly when I say that I did not see anything I didn't like about the way DA conducted its business and I'm very happy with the outcome.

Douglas Allen Chingford South

A big thank you to Jess and the team at the Chingford South office. We were more than a little sceptical that we could achieve an upgrade from flat to house, but the advice we were given was accurate and now we are very happily settled into our new home. I was particularly impressed by the good communication we received all the way through the process, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Douglas Allen in Chingford South for to buy or sell in the area (they did both for us.)Thanks once again guys; much appreciated!

Caring, Professional and Personal

Abbie Wilson from the Basildon office was very helpful in showing me the house and answering all my many questions. She was professional throughout and understood my need for a swift conclusion to the rental process, as I had been messed around by potential landlords who had withdrawn after holding deposits had already been paid. I needed to move in ASAP. Abbie was very good at listening to my concerns and didn't just fob me off with some scripted lines. She genuinely addressed my worries by getting in touch with the landlord (who lives abroad) and giving me thorough and professional feedback. The referencing process was very straightforward and efficiently carried out and didn't cause any delays moving in. The move-in process was very smooth and Monet and her team were always on hand to field questions. Thanks again. will definitely deal with you guys again!

Douglas Allen - Barkingside

Having tried selling with cheaper alternatives and being let down I thought it was time I give Douglas Allen a chance. After months of not selling Daniel really lifted my spirits and presented a strategy to get me moving. My hopes and expectations were set high but true to his word Daniel got me the price he promised (which was actually more than the offers I was getting with cheaper alternatives). The process went very smoothly and I was actually kept up to date along the way which I never thought would happen (due to bad experiences in the past). The team in Barkingside have their heads screwed on and are passionate about delivering a great service. Thank you to Daniel along with the rest of the team for getting me moved.
