Very poor service and would not recommend to others

At the outset and before signing up , I was told that Douglas Allen pride themselves on good customer service and that someone would always get back to me to answer my queries. This was completely untrue as after countless phone calls nobody would get back to me . Also I was left to do all my property viewings myself when being told that they would send agents along. At one time I had to manage 4 families by myself as no agent bothered to attend. It was a huge let down . Apart from introducing the buyer to me , I feel Douglas Allen did very little. I am very disappointed and wish I had gone with another Agent.

Dear Sharan DThank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you had some concerns over our service and have left voicemails for you in the hope of discussing them. Having reviewed the records for your property sale, we have been unable to identify the occasions when calls were not returned therefore we unfortunately cannot provide specific reasons to you. Nevertheless we appreciate that this would have been frustrating and have reminded the staff of their responsibilities in this respect. Please accept our sincere apologies. Whilst we try to accompany viewings when requested to, this is subject to our diary commitments. If we are unable to do so, we would always ask the sellers before postponing viewings but fully understand if they prefer not to conduct them. There is no record of you raising this issue during marketing and requesting accompanied viewings only which would have resolved the problem. On a positive note we are delighted to note that our marketing generated considerable interest in your property resulting in a full asking price sale being agreed in just over 2 months (despite the intervening Christmas and New Year holiday period). We know that our sales coordinator Andrew is in regular contact with you and hope that your sale will proceed smoothly. Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

sales valuation

No one got back to us until 2 weeks after their visit to give us a written valuation. When we do receive the literature it had no price valuation on there at all and no indication of the value our property holds instead we were sent literature about properties sold recently which were no good to us and irrelevant. The worst agents I have ever used, bad customer service the manger never got back to me I left 4 messages over a period of a week. DISAPPOINTED

Agent replied · 16 June 2024

Dear Miss Khan We were very sorry to learn of your concerns with our Chadwell Heath office and thank you for your feedback. We have emailed you with a full response however, in brief, we visited your property on the Saturday and provided a verbal idea of a suitable marketing price, together with details of comparable sold properties to support our estimate, which is normal industry practice. These were not intended to be properties of interest to you to buy. We posted our appraisal letter to you on the second working day afterwards, being the Tuesday and therefore cannot understand why it has taken 2 weeks to arrive. Nevertheless, we apologise for the delay you experienced and can only assume that this was due to the postal service. We have contacted you since sending our letter to be advised that you only required a valuation and do not wish to sell your property. We trust that the advice given by our staff member was useful and reiterate our apology for any aspect of our service that you were unhappy with. If you decide to sell in future we would welcome the opportunity to assist you and restore your faith in our company.

I said I want that house and that's the one I got!

I saw the house I wanted- the type that doesn't come on market often. I needed to sell my home. Greg and the rest of the team arranged this. No sweat. No marketing jargon, no schpeal. Normal honest information- that's what I liked about Greg's approach. A swiftly arranged mortgage by Will and within 2 weeks the houses had been bought and sold. 2 weeks?! That's awesome! I'll be calling into the Woodford branch for a valuation very soon.

Poor standard so far

First viewing- estate agent forgot to turn up. Had to show the people round myself even though I felt ill. Second viewing- they sent round a new estate agent that we hadn't met or who hasn't seen the house before. Did most of the talking as the new agent didn't know anything about my house. Also promised that we would receive constant updates and alerts on new properties however we haven't had one phone call in nearly 2 weeks.

Mr · 21 October 2015

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

Dear Mr & Mrs Church Thank you for your feedback. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused in respect of your first viewing. We understand that the Branch Manager visited you to apologise and explain how this regrettable situation occurred. The member of staff who conducted your second viewing was unable to view your property first, due to prior diary commitments however he had familiarised himself by reading the brochure and speaking to staff who had seen the property to be able to answer any normal questions. As you were present, the viewer naturally directed some questions to you as the owner, however our member of staff also answered questions and accompanied them around the property. We confirm that you are registered with Douglas Allen as a prospective purchaser however in the last couple of weeks, there have been no new properties to the market, matching your property preferences. Please be assured that as soon as we commence marketing a property that matches your criteria, we will contact you. In the meantime, we can assure you that we are very much committed to selling your property and identifying your dream home to purchase and we hope that our staff are able to positively demonstrate this to you in the very near future. Customer Relations, Douglas Allen

Re: Harrison Thomas

Harrison provided an absolutely outstanding service for us and worked tirelessly to get our house sold (after we lost 2 houses and a buyer during the pandemic). In addition, he was always willing to stay in touch and facilitate communication between parties once exchange of contracts had occurred, showing a willingness to go above and beyond what we needed to ensure the move went through to completion. Big thank you, Harrison.
