Outstanding service and support…

Outstanding service and support throughout!Given the challenges posed by COVID my girlfriend and I were delighted to secure our first home together in a swift and easy manner, thanks to the help and support of Harrison Thomas at Douglas Allen. Harrison was supportive, friendly and accommodating from day one and by far gave us the best first impression and experience out of a number of Estate Agents that we had viewings with. He helped us with his expert knowledge on the property and situation regarding the purchase and supported us throughout the process through to completion. I'm really pleased with Douglass Allen and Harrison's exceptional customer relationship skills.

Douglas Allen Chadwell Heath

Hi Michelle,We are sending this kind note to thank you for helping to sell our property so quickly and during the coronavirus period.We were unsure who to go with. When we met you we knew that you would somehow obtain a sale quickly and help us through the process. The warmth and customer friendly service received was excellent. Please send our thanks to Tanya and your team, including the people at the end of the phones. Kind regards

We didn’t end up buying any of the houses that we viewed with Douglas Allen, however, I still wanted to leave a review as the service we received from Luke and Karley was fantastic! Super helpful, kind, they were on the ball and just lovely people. Thank you !

Great Service through many challenges

We had a lot of challenges with the chain selling our property but Douglas Allen kept us informed and involved at every step, we got to a successful conclusion and the home we wanted. The customer service through the whole process was superb and took a lot of the stress away from me and my family. Even with the challenges of CoVID 19 we were able to exchange and complete as we came out of lock down.A special thanks to Chelsey Baldwin to keeping us up to date.

Rental

We have rented our bungalow out via Douglas Allan, due to covid-19 we did think things would become difficult but Joanna Alexis kept us informed at all times. She found us a great tenant, and ensured everything was sorted in a timely fashion. We received our payment within a couple of days via bank transfer (which is much better than other estate agents who I have used in the past, who used to send me a cheque). Helpful, friendly and informative!

Bill, at Douglas Allen Basildon has been very helpful right from the beginning. He has taken time out to look for properties to match my criteria and always given his honest opinion on what he thinks would be best for me based on the conversations we have had. Excellent Customer Service Honest Would recommend!

A fantastic 5* service!

When I got to view the property on Bede Road initially, I wasn't interested as such as I felt it's a property that has a lot of demand and I felt like with the competition I would not be able to win the property. I spoke to Waqas after the viewing and he suggested the VIP home finder service to me, a service where I could get into see properties before they hit the online market and he suggested to meet Faisal Noor, the in house mortgage adviser, once I became a member of the VIP service and saw Faisal to work out my maximum affordability, I made an offer on the property and it got accepted the very same day! I would highly recommend the VIP Home finder Service and would Highly recommend Douglas Allen Chadwell heath! Everything is going through smoothly and we are set to complete on the property very soon.

I initially visited a plethora of agents for a probate valuation on my late mother’s home. I found the team very helpful. Tom and Gregg the managers took the time to sit with me and dealt with the solicitors direct regarding all relevant paper work from start to finish. I used the team in Basildon to later sell the property. Phebi and Luke were great when it came to viewings and made sure I was always updated with feedback and other avenues to make the home more saleable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone needing help at a difficult time.

Highly recommend Adam and the Douglas Allen team

Adam has been very helpful, informative, polite, approachable, and whilst keeping us constantly updated about the property.Adam develops a really good relationship with the customer and understands their needs and expectations. The property we were interested about became unavailable as another customer offered more than what we did, but later on it became available again. Adam was the first one to call us immediately as he was aware of our interest on the property. He was also happy for us to revisit the property multiple times and was always happy to help.We highly recommend Adam and the Douglas Allen team.Maria & Stefanos

Highly recommend

Highly recommendI'm very pleased I used Ryan as my mortgage broker. As a First Time Buyer, the process was always going to be stressful as I have never gone through anything like this before, however, Ryan and the team helped ease the stress of it all.I can only say great things about my experience with Ryan. I didn’t think I could get a mortgage for the property I wanted, but Ryan secured one for me, taken the strain away throughout the process. Nothing was too much trouble for him.Ryan was quick to get back to me and held my hand throughout the whole process, providing information and recommendations for any issue encountered. Thank you thank you thank you

Phebi from the Basildon branch has been amazing helping me find my new home. When I called the branch Phebi was very helpful and efficient with booking appointments and getting me a mortgage chat with her broker. She has got to me the best estate agent I have come across. Thanks Phebi!

Chadwell Heath Branch excellent service

Chadwell Heath Branch - excellent!From the time we met Michelle we felt we could just relax and let her and her team get on with the sale of our house. We had been with another agency and basically wasted the whole summer. In 3 days Michelle and the Chadwell Heath team booked in 60 viewings for the open day, then sent round 2 agents to greet the viewers while we left them to it. It was amazing, we walked away seeing queues of interested buyers on our drive. We love the online service, you can see the offers coming in and they certainly did, for the asking price and more. Our house sold to a buyer from the open day, basically 3 days to sell it. The team continue to help with regular weekly updates on each stage of the sale process. As we move towards the finish line, a big thank you to Michelle and her sales team plus Charlotte and Tanya for the updates. Have already recommended you to friends and neighbours.

My husband and I cant thank Douglas Allen enough, every one was so helpful, I admit to finding the whole process a bit stressful, however with people such as the wonderful Chelsea Baldwin on your side things were a lot easier. Adam Jabbar, Jo Butler and Dave Tomlins were great as the sales team. Douglas Allen isn't the cheapest in the High St, I'm a firm believer you get what you pay for, the fee was money well spent.... Thank you all....!!!!

A massive thank you to Waqas and the team at Douglas Allen in Chadwell Heath - fantastic service delivered from the get go. As a first time buyer the support and detailed information I received was highly appreciated.

Rude and pushy staff

Dealt with the Saturday team Spencer and Alastair today. Wasted my time in bringing me in to tell me someone had put in an offer of the property I was interested. Rude and Pushy overall wasn’t interesting in showing me property’s unless I went with their mortgage adviser.Think this reply is absolutely ridiculous. There was no need to liar in order to bring in to your office, how does this have a ‘friendly approach’ when your staff are blunt and rude? No other agencies needed to find out if I am in a strong position, as I already had a mortgage in principal set up. This just show how unprofessional and inexperienced your company is!!

Thank you Khaleesha and the rest of the Woodford branch!

Bought our first property though them and they made the process very easy. If it wasn't for Khaleesha from their Woodford branch then we probably never would have gotten that property as she was very flexible in getting us a viewing so late on in the day! Khaleesha was very personable and knew a lot about the property and area. She also took time to get to know us and what we were looking for. We felt really lucky for her to handle our purchase.

Barkingside Branch

A big big thank you to Joe and his team at the Barkingside. We were desperate to find our dream house and were short for time. From the start to the finish, Joe and his team provided the best service to us. We were shown around different properties by the excellent Adbul who comes around so humble and we could see how much pride he takes in his job. Adbul immediately knew when we fell in love with a certain property and Douglas Allen made it their goal to make it our property!Joe is one of the most patient person we have met. He explained the procedure and was always there answering all our annoying questions.Within 3 months of viewing the property, we are now happy home owners in our new house!Thank you once again to Joe, Abdul, Faisal and co!

Woodford office

After 7 months without a real offer on my house sale I thought changing Estate agents would do little. Steve Ford, came, he saw, he sold! He came well prepared with all the information to back up his claims to make a sale and to make the very best representation of my property. The property photos or the board never got out, they sold it the same day.Steve has the backing of a good network and excellent team members - sales manager khaleesha Said-Loveday has been an excellent and diligent support throughout the process. Also a mention for Keith Langford for chasing up all parties during the process. Thanks to all and obviously recommend them.

Disgraceful Estate Agent with no shame

In April 2019 a house came up for Sale on Mortlake Road ilford. We went to view the house and absolutely loved it. However.....Douglas Allen ruined EVERYTHING. Because we had a buy to let mortgage we were advised by Nabeel one of the consultants there that due to the property having polystyrene ceilings we were unable to buy it as when it came to valuation it would be a nil valuation. What a lie! I was advised by other agents that that should not have been a reason for me to be turned down. I had everything they required to buy the house...I even used their Solicitor which I was advised by Ali another consultant at Douglas Allen that if I used their solicitor I would be in a better position to buy the house as the sale would go through easily if accepted. My elderly parents loved the house we even put the highest offer as was told by Ali but Nabeel turned us down. He made us run around and gave the house to someone else. I compaoned to them and their senior told me that as the other party had all documents acted 'swiftly' the house was given to them. That is a lie! Simply because on the first viewing as soon as we viewed the house that same day we put offer forward and got our stuff together. They really upset me and my elderly parents. They promise but do not deliver. A bunch of cowboys! We did EVERYTHING they had asked and they turned us down. I think they get joy out of making people run around. They should understand that buying a house is a stressful time and they should help people fulfill buy their dream home not play chess with human lifes!
