TrustpilotTop Service from Douglas Allen Maureen Grey at the East Ham Branch
It was a difficult period selling my father's property as his health was deteriorating quite rapidly. Maureen Grey the Senior Branch Manager at Douglas Allen East Ham Branch was most helpful and key to the sale of the property. Maureen would always up date me and even contact myself out of her normal office hours to provide updates and to enquire as to my father's health. In the end she got an offer for my father's property higher than the asking price and I can not thank her enough for her professionalism and assistance with the entire process. I wish her all the best in her future and will always remember the top quality service she provided my entire family.

TrustpilotAndy did what he said he would.....
I had an initial meeting with Andy Dumas and he managed my expectations in terms of a likely selling price and advised me accordingly.He arranged an open day and from that two offers were received - this was all within 7 days of the property going on the market.I have received very good service and would recommend Andy to anyone else selling a property.
Dear Mr Gregory,Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to post this 5 Star review regarding selling your home through our Loughton office and of the help and professionalism you have received from Andy there. You are in safe hands with the whole team there and I would like to thank you personally for your custom.Kind regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director

TrustpilotGreat service
This is our second time using the Douglas Allen team in Walthamstow. After buying our first property though them we have now sold a property with them as well. Maria was a friendly and approachable first contact discussing all then ins and outs of selling, most importantly she was honest and transparent about the whole process. Always able to answer any questions we had, and steered us through to completion. She also gave great advice on our search for a new home. Her team assisted us with chasing up the sale of our property and Ella was brilliant when time became a factor for us. I’d be entirely confidant at recommending Maria and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

TrustpilotMet with mortgage advisor Dan Appleby…
Met with mortgage advisor Dan Appleby the other day at Douglas Allen Chadwell Heath, after he came highly recommended. Dan was fantastic from start to finish. Listened to what i needed and found me deals that no one has been able to. Dan has even managed to save me money on insurances with better cover. Highly recommend and cant fault his service! Thank you!!!
Dear Kirk, Thank you for your feedback on Dan our Mortgage Advisor at Chadwell Heath, as you say it is key that we listen to exactly what the client needs and help them from the initial meeting right through until your mortgage offer completes, having not only Dan but his back up assistant will certainly ensure that you are given the best possible advice but everything is then processed as soon as possible to help you move on.I like you are pleased that Dan was recommended to you and we look forward to helping you and anyone else you know for many years to come.Kind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

TrustpilotThe service provided was abysmal
The service provided was abysmal, although Lucy was very hands on and helpful she was failed by her colleagues. Information provided to other agents were innaccurate and this was very costly to us. We had to constantly contact the office for the latest information, we were rarely provided with any updates on the sale.
Dear JohnThank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and for your kind words regarding Lucy. Customer Service is of paramount importance to Douglas Allen and it is therefore disappointing to read some of your comments. When a sale is progressing through the conveyancing process we would expect our staff to be in touch with updates however as the conveyancing process is undertaken by the acting legal representatives, we are limited as to how much we can do during the time. We also understand that your chain was a lengthy one which can affect the quality of the information relayed due to the number of third parties involved. We are pleased that your sale has completed and would like to wish you the best for the future.Should you wish to discuss your feedback in further detail, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Relations department on 01702 540802 or at customer.relations@arunestates.co.uk. Thank you. Kind regardsDouglas Allen

TrustpilotI was disappointed
I was disappointed"I was disappointed with the services provided . There were several instances where I had to follow up multiple times to get a response, and the agent seemed to lack knowledge about the properties they were showing. In addition, there were several mistakes in the paperwork that caused delays in the process. I would suggest that improve communication and attention to detail to provide a better experience for your clients."

TrustpilotA great experience
I have had a fantastic experience with Douglas Allen. I was helped by Ms Nisha who guided me and my family into buying. Our property. She was able to scout the market efficiently and listened to what our needs were. I recommend all to go with her when buying their next property as she communicates fantastically and is driven to to meeting client expectations

TrustpilotNatasha Tomlins (Mercieca) HERO
Just want to give a huge shout out to Natasha Tomlins (Mercieca) for going WAY above and beyond in her support. Natasha ensured the whole process was trafficked through as quickly as possible, without Natasha we would have never met our mortgage deadline on our new place. Natasha emailed and called all parts of the chain honestly every day and delivered concise updates that kept me at ease when all my hair was falling out.It felt like an incredibly personal service and I knew I could rely on Natasha to support me throughout the whole process. Cannot recommend Natasha and DA enough, we lost our first buyer and Natasha still managed to keep us on track with a new buyer and a tight timeline. Thank you so much!

Re: Natasha Tomlins Reaching exchange of contracts as been a long and stressful road. I could not recommend Natasha more highly. She went well above and beyond the call of duty on so many days, persistently chasing solicitors to ensure the job got done. Thank you Natasha for all your extraordinary work, it is so very much appreciated!
Good afternoon Chris, Thank you for your lovely review regarding Natasha. We are glad to hear that you feel she went above and beyond. I'm sure she will greatly appreciate your kind words. I'll be sure to pass them along. Kind regards,Danielle

TrustpilotExcellent / Professional Service
Although their fees were slightly higher than other estate agents, I could tell from the very first visit/meeting that it would be worth it. I received a professional service throughout the whole process. Jessica and Natasha were amazing. Easy to communicate with, supportive, alway available to help and when they were not they got back to me in a very timely manner. They were the only constant form of communication in what was a stressful process which made life a lot easier for me. If I had to do this all over again I would still pick them. They are worth every penny. Highly recommend their friendly, down to earth, professional service. Thank you to the whole team at the chingford branch!!

Subsequently when faced with what appeared to be major problems with our purchaser, reassurance was provided and appropriate action taken promptly.
