TrustpilotGood service
We purchased a flat in Forest Gate via the East Ham branch. The sale went through very quickly, and the staff we dealt with (primarily Waseem and Andrew) were generally helpful and friendly. My only main criticism is that on the occasions when we tried to contact the branch via phone and they could not take our call, they did not return our calls when asked.

Dear David,Thank you for your feedback regarding the team in my East Ham office. Waseem as you know has the job of helping clients like yourself to find their dream home and then passed the baton to Andrew for the after sales service. I am sorry to hear that on the odd occasion they did not answer the phone but we do have a call center that should pick up the overflow if we cannot answer it.Good luck in your new home.Rob wadeAssociate Operations Director

I have been searching for a property near Chadwell Heath area for last few weeks and viewed a property advertised by Douglas Allen (Chadwell Heath Branch)....I found a property listed by them which ticked all the boxes and now I am on the next phase of buying this property.I am really thankful to their sales representative Emma Fisher for her excellent customer support throughout this process.

TrustpilotVery happy customers!
We appointed Douglas Allen to sell our property in Chingford as we were looking to move house to Suffolk. The team of James, Jess, Jake and Natasha at the branch were extremely helpful, friendly and professional and were quite happy to answer our many questions. They found us a buyer within a couple of days and helped us through the sales process very efficiently, keeping in regular contact of how it was progressing. The staff were all brilliant and we would very happily recommend Douglas Allen in Chingford for buying or selling your property.

3 months on market with these bunch of clowns and as soon as appointed another agent house was sold in 2 days…still receiving threatening emails about selling with other agent even though we cancelled with Douglas Allen…very misleading and marketing is poor…very poor…also we keep getting false reports sent to us saying they have had viewings etc which is important as they have no access to property…my advise…find another agent as it’ll be smoother and quicker then with Douglas Allen

TrustpilotStay well clear. Clueless.
Was given a high value on my property, also was told that it was best to use their auction department "I am sold". Very quickly became apparent that the price was too high as was advised to lower it. After a couple of months with no real offers decided to use another agent, property was sold within a week. After telling Douglas Allen that their services were no longer required I was still getting Marketing reports from them 2 months later and found out they were still had the property up for sale on Zoopla. Clueless DO NOT USE.

I met with two lovely gentlemen whom made me feel very comfortable in putting my property in their hands. I liked their ethos and their strategy in regards to selling my home. They were very professional but did not come across pushy as some sales people have no regards for your interests. I would recommend Douglas Allen to anyone I know who's selling a property.

GoogleWill, from Douglas Allen was brilliant. It almost felt as if he was an old friend showing us round the property. He was patient, as we spent quite some time talking about options. He answered all of our questions and explained the process of buying an auction property. Although we won’t be progressing further this time, I’m confident that when we do find our “forever home”, we can get the help and support from people like Will.

TrustpilotA Wise Choice...
The team at the Chingford branch sold our house quickly, for over the asking price, and provided a top quality service. Jess and Jake in particular were great throughout the process, but everyone played their part. I would recommend them to anyone selling their property. From my experience, the company follow through on what they say, with helpful advice at the ready when needed.

I have been impressed with the quality of service I have received. Everybody I have dealt with has been prompt, knowledgeable and very friendly. They found me a good buyer within a few weeks and helped with the negotiations. The best thing was they will reimburse me for money spent with an online agency that did not deliver. I would definitely recommend.
