Thank you to Christy at Wickford for always keeping me updated with my viewings. Every time I call, she is quick to confirm when she can show me a property. She has shown me two houses now and is just a delight to deal. I couldn’t recommend Douglas Allen enough if you’re thinking to sell your property. Thank you Christy

Professional & 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.

I 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. On visiting the property Stuart explained the various options and alternatives. After thinking about the options over the weekend and discussing them with the family I have taken his advice and will be staying in my home. I am very glad I chose Douglas Allen as they have provided me with an exceptional service and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you

In middle of buying with Douglas and Allen 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....

Recently complete with DA as a first time buyer and had mortgage advice - despite advice from 3 other brokers - and Andy stood out as the best and most knowledgeable. It also meant that Terry and Caroline called me about new properties that weren't even on RightMove yet and was therefore able to view them first hand. I have now complete on my sale and I’m so thrilled. I couldn’t thank them anymore than I can - amazing agents!!!

We 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

After being let down by our on line agent at nearly every step. We contacted Stuart who made time for us the same afternoon.

Thank you Ahsan!

Can't thank Ahsan enough for his help, patience and professionalism at all times assisting my parents with the sale of their property so far. They have lived in the same house for 47 years so as you can imagine leaving is a great wrench for them on an emotional and practical level. Ahsan has given a first class service going above and beyond

Amazing service and assistance.

The Lettings Manager Joanna Martin went above and beyond to help myself and my children when became homeless in January 2022. 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.

Satisfied Seller

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.

Many thanks to Stuart & Alex for excellent promotion video of house and viewers during a turbulent house market time. They also gave a lot of care to potential buyers. Natasha was brilliant and kept the communications and things moving forward. The solicitors JS Law, Lauren, that Douglas Allen use was so efficient- a must if you are considering solicitors. Thank you
