TrustpilotSale
Rachel and the team were brilliant. Living so far away from the property as i was selling on behalf of my father added extra complications which they dealt with brilliantly, to a point that this was the easiest sale i have ever had. They even found other agencies who could help with the contents making it so easy for me when i visited to sort out personal items.

I can see that this was the easiest sale that you have every had, if you know any other people in an area we cover we would love to offer them the same level of service.Kind regardsPaul IngletonAssociate Operation Director

Shawn from Douglas Allen East Ham was amazing! He sold our elderly hoarders cousins house in only 4 days! He went way beyond his duties as an estate agent to help out in whatever way he could. Thank you Shawn for all your help, this sale was not an easy one and not for the faint hearted! Very pleased with the service. Again thank you.😀 The Evans Family.

TrustpilotWill Nash
Will Nash is an excellent advisor. He has advised us on a few mortgage purchases over the years. He has always been attentive, accessible, professional and knowledgeable. He is quick to respond to any doubts or questions you may have - whether that is mortgage related or more generally related to the property purchase process. We have enjoyed working with Will and will do so again without hesitation.

TrustpilotWe would recommend Douglas Allen
From beginning to end Douglas Allen were a great agent to sell our property with. Stevens valuation helped us achieve a sale value in excess of £100,000 above a previous agents valuation 2 months earlier. Steven & Ash were always there to support us if needed and they never failed to return telephone calls. Thanks for all your support.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWe had our property listed with a number of other estate agents before we decided to get Douglas Allen on board. They were very confident they'd be able to sell our property, and they did just that! We were made an offer on our property after just one viewing, and we couldn't be happier. Nick and Donna were always available to answer any questions we had, and if they weren't, they'd return our calls immediately. The customer service has been excellent from the very beginning and we can't thank Nick and Donna enough for their support and advice throughout this process. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

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.
John · 1 October 2021
Agent replied · 24 October 2024
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."

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!
