TrustpilotHighly 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

TrustpilotAs a FTB
As a FTB, Sarah and Robin were very proactive in getting all the information that I needed in order to make an informed decision in buying the right property. Before I spoke to Will, I struggled to get a mortgage and was concerned I wasn't going to be able to get unto the property ladder however after meeting with Will and him reviewing my unique circumstances, he recommended next steps and within 4 days I received a mortgage offer on a competitive rate.Post purchase, the service has been excellent and the team is still answering any questions I have. I recommend Sarah, Robin and Will of the Chigwell branch if you want to purchase any property in that area

TrustpilotChadwell 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....!!!!

We went through Douglas Allen in Chigwell to purchase our home and have been so impressed with the service we received from start to finish.The agents are honest, helpful and assisted us along every step of the process. We managed to go from viewing to exchange within 8 weeks. Aseena and Robyn were on hand every step of the way- and no question or request was too much for them.Top, honest, professional service, minimal stress.Thank you to Aseena and the rest of the team. Would recommend and use again!

TrustpilotRude 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!!

GoogleHaving recently dealt with Robin the manager of the Chigwell office, I was so impressed with how professional and helpful he was throughout the process. Although buying the home was a stressful task, Robin was always courteous and from start to finish and being that this was the 3rd time I’ve bought a house, without doubt I’ve never had as good an experience dealing with an estate agent before. I would highly recommend getting in contact with Robin to help you buy a property.

GoogleHi, just a brief message to say we purchased our house on the Chigwell Grove Estate through Douglas Allen, Chigwell. Sarah was our agent and she was fantastic. Very professional and easy to get on with. She called me as soon as ant decent property came to market and she knew exactly what I was after. No time wasting she just had a knack of listening and meeting my requirements. All in all a great local company, great service and utterly professional - thanks to Sarah. A perfect score from me.

TrustpilotThank 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.

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!

TrustpilotChigwell branch were a pleasure to deal with
Robin Bowden, Branch Partner at Chigwell was very professional at all times and his knowledge of the area and how best to market the property was first class. I was concerned about the sale of my property in Chigwell as I didn't live in the area, but Robin had done his research and put me at ease straight away. Within the first few weeks there was a huge amount of interest and the property finally sold at the asking price. Robin took full responsibility in the negotiating and processing of offers and he managed to achieve the full asking price with buyer's in the strongest position to proceed with a successful completion.Robin's Team in the Chigwell office were all very helpful in Robin's absence, particularly Sarah who put me in touch with a clearance company and I entrusted her to deal with that matter efficiently. As I didn't live in the area, it was never any problem for a member of the Team to check the property and take meter readings. Such a relief for me to know that everything was safe in their hands.Overall an excellent experience!

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.

TrustpilotDisgraceful 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!

Dear Ms RamzanWe understand how disappointing it can be when an offer is declined, especially when you were clearly very keen on the property. We appreciate how stressful the buying process can be however the seller, on this occasion, had a number of offers to choose from and it was their decision which offer to accept based upon their own circumstances and wishes. We are sorry that you were upset by the experience and trust that you will appreciate our position. We sincerely hope that you find a property you like just as much, if not more.If you would like to discuss you experience, please do not hesitate to contact Customer Relations on 01702 540802 or email at customer.relations@arunestates.co.uk.

Speechless. Truly lost for words, after searching for property’s in barkingside for months with no luck, I found my dream property before it was even on rightmove thanks to Hasan he worked really close with myself to understand exactly what I needed and gave me a call as soon as he heard about the property coming onto the market. We viewed the same day however was spectacle as the property was going through there new modern auction, however immediately Zak& Hasan felt me at ease and explained the procedure. I was confident enough to put a large deposit before completion and now in under 2 months have completed. Hasan was very helpful throughout I am convinced I still wouldn’t have found a property if it wasn’t for him.
