TrustpilotSteve Ford at Woodford office
Steve Ford at Woodford office - I called in on the off-chance to the office and saw Steve - firstly I was surprised he remembered me and the details of my property from 2015 - I needed to find out some historical information. Steve was very helpful and found all the information that I required.

TrustpilotGreat, stress-free experoemce
We had a great experience dealing with Tanya Keene - Sales Progressor. Tanya was always available to speak to for queries or to keep us updated on the progress of the move. For what can be a stressful time for any Homebuyer, Tanya went above and beyond to ensure we were always in the loop. Great service

Dear Gary, It is always a pleasure to see that our sales progression team are keeping the clients fully updated and as you say helping them through what can be a stressful time. By having a dedicated team of sales progressors certainly helps to iron out those wrinkles that often occur during the sales process, giving them time to ensure that the issues are dealt with and more importantly the clients are kept in the loop. Our aim is always to ensure that the service level we offer is not like many agents until you agree a sale, it's right through until the day of completion. If we can help moving forward please do not hesitate to contact us.Kind regardsPaul IngletonAssociate Operation Director

My property was with Douglas Allen Barkingside branch, unfortunately due to a change of circumstances I have had to pull the property out of the market.

We were really impressed with the professionalism of everyone at the Chingford branch, particularly Jess, with whom we saw a number of homes over a number of months.

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.
Ann · 2 May 2015
Agent replied · 22 October 2024
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

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

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.
