GoogleWe were accompanied by Carter for a few viewings and he was nothing short of fantastic. Made us feel very comfortable to ask even the smallest of questions. Really understanding our perspective and offering advise on how we could optimize the space available.
He also drove us from one viewing to another offering insights on the surrounding area.
Having had dozens of accompanied viewings with many estate agents across Essex and Kent, I must say that even the most experienced agents can take a page from Carter's book on amicability and thoroughness.
Thank you Carter

GoogleIf you need to sell your house use this agency. Our house was on the market for 9 months already when we contracted them. They were very friendly and explained clearly what are they going to do to sell our house quickly. We were kept up to date using their website feedback information, and they managed to find us a buyer in 3 months. Greg and Chelsea were amazing guiding us through the whole process. Thank you Douglas Allen we appreciate all of your hard work.

GoogleMe and my partner were looking to move so contacted local estate agents to help. We met with Anthony at Douglas Allen and his help was amazing. He took the time to speak through the process and give us as much advice of possible. Being a first time buyer isn’t easy when you don’t know where to start. He gave us great advice on what to do. Even though our search has been put on hold, we would definitely recommend Anthony and will use him in the future

GoogleI have recently sold my property with Douglas Allen and I have to say how amazing they have been! When I was on with a previous agent I did not receive great service but from day one when I called the branch and spoke to Phebi who was very knowledgeable and helpful when booking in the valuation all I can say is that the process has been easy. Phebi & Greg have kept in contact with me every few days as well as making sure the viewers are proceedable and qualified before viewing my home. Thank you Phebi you are one of the best estate agent I’ve ever come across!

GoogleWe have used Douglas Allan Basilidon on many occassions, using them to buy and sell property.
We have recently sold a house. Greg Wade (manager) came to view the house and advised us on the value and selling options ( we had researched the prices locally and was glad that Greg valued it realistically ). The viewings were trouble free, and we were kept informed of all the offers. When we decided to accept an offer, Michelle Brown was very good at keeping us informed and was able to answer all our questions through to exchange.
Over all a pleasant and stress free experience again.

GoogleWe want to extend our thanks to the team at Douglas Allen Basildon. They helped us to sell our 3 bedroom home during a really difficult financial climate. Even when our first buyers had to pull out due to challenges with securing their mortgage, the team were so proactive about putting us straight back on the market and generating quality viewings.
They were reassuring throughout the process. Special thanks to Tom for strong negotiations on our behalf, Michelle for staying on top of all our admin and to Chelsey for her proactive management of the sale. She kept us so well informed and made our options clear to us every step of the way. We're so happy in our new family home and cannot thank you all enough!
