TrustpilotThank you to Nicolle Eustration
Two months later than we expected we finally "exchanged contracts" yesterday. Thanks to Nicolle Eustration and her hard work keeping everyone in the chain informed and chasing problems until they were resolved. Without your help and co-ordination, I am sure we would not have reached "exchange of contracts" . Many thanks for going that extra mile Nicolle.
Dear Ms Davenport,Thank you very much for your feedback regarding Nicolle. Very few estate agents have Sales Progressors to do what Nicolle does in keeping on top of sales once they have been agreed and their customers are all the poorer for it. Nicolle often goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure every customer buying or selling through Douglas Allen moves in the most stress-free manner possible and she will be delighted to see her efforts have been recognised in your review.I wish you much happiness in your new home.Regards, Jon Holden, Managing Director, Douglas Allen

TrustpilotExcellent, especially Janine Briggs
From start to finish Douglass Allen were execellnt when it came to selling our property. Janine Briggs especiialy help cordinate the whole processs keeping in contstant touch with updates. Her true professionalism shone through and nothing was a problem. I would highly recommend Janine and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell their property.
Dear Mr Carter,Thank you very much indeed for your kind words relating to Janine Briggs and your 5 Star review. Janine is one of a rare breed, a Sales Progressor who is 100% focused on turning a sale into a home-move and has been successfully doing this within Douglas Allen for almost 30 years! Most agents don't employ Sales Progressors and hopefully you have positively benefitted from our decision to do so right across our company.Thank you very much for choosing Douglas Allen to sell your home, your custom is genuinely appreciated.Regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director, Douglas Allen

Simon at Basildon Branch was very professional and provided us with all the information we wanted. We agreed on sales after the open house which was pretty quick and credit to their advertising power. I will recommend Dauglas Allen Basildon Branch to family and friends in future.

TrustpilotI do not recommend
I would not recommend this company even if you are desperate to sell your property. They approached me to list my property and when I said the price that I want is £345K for a new build 1 bed flat 77smq on a main road, they suggested that I am not going to achieve even £300K. This is even less than what I paid when I bought the flat in 2019!They are just looking for an easy sale without much effort.Also, they keep suggesting their mortgage adviser who is apparently working in their branch through a partnership as the best specialist in the area. When I had a chat with her and mentioned that I used L&C mortgages before, she said that "they are not that good, don't they", well they are actually amazing and FREE. When the sales agent spoke with me it sounded more like he tries to sell this lady's services than helping me to sell my flat. Honestly, this is a horrible and very stressful experience, especially for a first-time seller, who is trying to make their next move.
Dear EmanuilaThank you for leaving your review and we are disappointed if our service was not of the standard that you expected.Please be assured that it is always our aim to work in the best interests of our customers and we would like the opportunity to discuss your concerns in more detail. To enable us to do so, we would kindly ask that you contact our Customer Support department on 01702 540802 or at customer.support@arunestates.co.uk.We look forward to hearing from you.Kind regardsDouglas Allen

Fantastic service and very helpful indeed. They also continued to be helpful once I had decided to buy a property with another agent as I felt that was the right one, which is a level of professionalism which is impressive (for example by recommending a surveyor). Particular thanks to Aseena and to Stephen.
Dear Jack,Thank you very much for your 5 Star review. Both Aseena and Steve will be delighted with your recognition too and be only too pleased they were able to help you successfully complete your move.Kind regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director
