TrustpilotProfessional & Friendly Service
The initial meeting was professionally handled with all bases covered.
Subsequently when faced with what appeared to be major problems with our purchaser, reassurance was provided and appropriate action taken promptly.
Lynburge Rene was particularly helpful and supportive at this point.
Sale has now been completed.
I have already recommended a friend to the firm and their sale went through to their complete satisfaction.

GoogleI can highly recommend this company they are very professional and helpful. I contacted them because of mobility issues and felt moving was my only option.

Wickford.
From start with a very helpful Terry who has kept me informed as each process I have to deal with.
Also met and all questions answered at viewing by Phoebe.
Also occasions Terry wasn't available the sales team seamlessly picked up the reigns and dealt with any issues.
You may not need it but in position was also guided through the wonderful world of mortgages by Andrew Seymour.
Natasha also keeping you informed step by step is a great help.
At present position of process would highly recommend using the team.
Won't give them 5 stars as still need to keep them on their toes....

GoogleWe sold our property under difficult personal circumstances, and the team at Douglas Allen were compassionate and professional in their advice and understanding of our situation. The sale coincided with the recent period of rapid interest rate rises, and property selling prices dropping, a daunting combination. Not so with this sales team (Alex, Terry, Natasha, Caroline, and the manager Stephen Ford) each and everyone held our hands through the seamless process, and gave us confidence. None of our queries fell on deaf ears, and nothing was too much trouble. They are the complete professional package. Well done you guys and gals! Thank you, Kuldip & Brian

Due to unfortunate circumstances, we ended up in a womens refuge because other agents were unable to help or even try to help. Thanks to Joanna we stayed in the hostel for less than 3 weeks as she managed to find a Landlord who would rent a property to us. I wish there were more agents out there like Joanna, I will be eternally grateful.

Maureen and her Team in the East Ham Branch were all excellent and very professional. Hasan dealt with any queries I had promptly, as did Rosalie. I was kept informed at all times in what can be a very stressful time. This was the second time my family have used this branch and both times the service was above and beyond of what was expected. We had an offer within the first week of the house going on the market. I would definitely recommend them.
