Me and my husband where looking for a house for a very long time. From the first phone call give to Chigwell branch,to arrange a view,Assena was very nice and helpful,setting up us as VIP customers. She arrange for us to see Will Nash to confirm finances and although there was an offer higher than ours, he help us in the best possible position to get the deal. Robin was helping us to complete all the paper work and make sure everything is right. We are highly grateful for this professional team.

TrustpilotTanya Keene sales progressor, both professional and organised, thank you.
Tanya Keene, from Douglas Allen, sales progressor, is a very professional and proactive person who helped me with the sale of my mum's house sale. From the start she was in touch with me, updating me with the progress of the sale and also giving me good advice about things I needed to know, in order to manage the sale efficiently. As I hadn't sold a property before, it's good to know that there are nice people like Tanya, who give good honest advice to you with efficiency and professionalism. It can be a stressful job to do, when stepping in unknown territory, however Tanya made this seem like a smooth transition until the contract s were exchanged also supporting me even after this was done. I feel more people like her are needed in this world. Thank you to Tanya for all her help and advice

Dear Shazia,Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post this 5 Star review concerning Tanya, one of team of Sales Progressors. Many agents don't go to the trouble of employing Sales Progressors but, as you have witnessed yourself, we feel they are essential in offering a premium service when the natural events of moving home can be stressful.Tanya will be chuffed with your recognition but more so that she was able to help so much with the sale of your mother's home.Kind regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director

TrustpilotViewing for a property we loved
I have been looking to move to barkingside for a while now and had done a few viewings with other agents that was very basic, after calling into the barkingside branch regarding a property of interest I came across Hasan and instantly felt the warm welcome from the way he answered the phone and the passion he spoke with. However the main reason for this review was that, during weekdays myself and the Mrs work late however Douglas Allen’s Hasan catered to our needs and done a one of viewing for us at out of work hours . Even though the property was not right for us I would highly recommend Hasan and douglas Allen,as he never made us feel unwanted and took the time to listen to us!

Ray and Janine from Douglas Allen were invaluable in helping get our house purchase over the line, with regular communication that never felt like it was too pushy or demanding. Ray was extremely proactive, going above and beyond to help push along our own sale by staying in contact with our own solicitors and freeholder. This was despite the fact that Ray was only meant to be responsible for the house we were buying (not selling)! Overall we would highly recommend Douglas Allen, and Ray and Janine in particular, for ensuring our house move went as smoothly as possible, thanks a lot!Robin and Tash

I recently bought a property advertised by the Chigwell Branch. The service was second to none. Robin was helpful right from start to finish - the whole way through the process. Easy to get in touch to and kept me up to date with the process chasing up where necessary. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank their Mortgage Brokerage arm - Mortgage Matters Direct. William Nash's services were quality and my go to guy for all my mortgage needs. Clearly the best in the business.

TrustpilotAmazing estate agent!
This is an amazing estate agent with fantastic professional knowledgeable staff. I can not express how impressed I am with the service I have received from this place. My house was for sale with 4 agents and Douglas Allen was the one that got me the sale at the price I wanted. They have a feedback system where I can see online who is booked in for viewings and feedback I receive which is fantastic. They always notified me on everything that was happening and were such a pleasure to speak to. Thanks Gizem for everything and thanks to Les for all of your amazing advice. I will always recommend Douglas Allen to everyone! You are truely above and beyond your competitors out there! Well done!

I have just completed on the sale of my flat. I used an online agent first and what a mistake that was as they lost my keys and couldn’t get me an offer. It took Steve and his team at Woodford less than a week to find me a buyer for a great price. I don’t live there so they even helped clear the property before exchange and I’m so happy I asked them to take over the sale of my flat.

We had the pleasure of dealing with Chelsey Baldwin from Douglas Allen for our first house purchase. In the midst of a global pandemic, and a couple of hiccups along the way, Chelsey was absolutely fantastic in dealing with whatever was needed. Chelsey was available for communication throughout the entire process, which honestly was invaluable. Not only is Chelsey a true professional but she does it with personality, humour and kindness.

TrustpilotOutstanding
Outstanding, Thank YouWhile out viewing properties with Chadwell Heath office I met Michal Aloto at the open house, he discussed my situation and I had just put my property on the market with an online agent. After a couple of months I accepted an offer and when Michael was discussing new properties for me to buy said he thought the offer was low, he felt that he had buyers ready who could view my house and as it’s no sale no fee I agreed for him to come round. The first open house was a success and I got the offer £15,000 more. I had more viewers in one day than I’d had for past two months. This brilliant service didn’t stop, every time I’ve called the office the staff are all very helpful, Michelle took time to explain and help me understand what happens next. Thank you Michael and Michelle I would highly recommend.

I can see that this really has worked for you.

TrustpilotChadwell Heath branch.
Excellent team effort so individual people all deserve a mention.Chadwell Heath branch manager Les secured our business by offering valuation etc on his route home after the shop had closed when other agents would not make themselves available for a further 2, 3 days. He clearly explained the process to us and inspired confidence in his teams ability to successfully market our home.Gizem handled the open house viewings with tact and diplomacy.Michelle, Michael and Charlotte were always on hand and extremely helpful when issues occurred with our buyers.Once we accepted our purchasers offer our file was moved to Andrew Bilby, sales progressor based at East Ham branch. We cannot thank Andrew enough for his conscientious and effective approach when dealing with some difficult issues. Our ongoing purchase was through an on line agent and the experience was awful but could have been a whole lot worse. Thankfully Andrew recognised the issues created by this on line agent and took it upon himself to take control of the whole chain and has worked tirelessly to ensure all parties were communicating with one another, even contacting the builders for people at the top end of the chain to keep things fluid.We have been copied into each and every email sent to keep us abreast of developments and telephones calls without prompt, have been received in order to update too, even if there have been no significant developments.Having lived in the address we have just vacated for over 27 years this has been a stressful time, but the staff at Douglas Allen have been excellent and made this process so much easier to deal with and we cannot thank them enough.I would highly recommend Douglas Allen estate agents.Thank you.

I used the Epping branch recently to sell my Dads property after a short illness devastatingly took him from us. All the staff were very sensitive and caring whilst professional and informative. I have never reviewed a company before but felt that strongly about the service I just had to do it this time. Below is an excerpt of the email I sent the Manager Matt.Hi MattThank you and the whole team for your effort and perseverance in Selling this property. I know it has not been easy and has required a great deal of input from everyone.My family will be forever grateful for your determination to sell at the right price for our family and more importantly my Dad.Everything was dealt with smoothly and as I had to return to Australia they were responsible for all the viewings (and there was many), so a great deal of time and effort when in to help my family and keep us informed even though we are on the other side of the world.I would highly recommend anyone looking to sell to use Douglas Allen in Epping as Matt and the whole team have been exceptional under incredibly difficult conditions.

TrustpilotQuick proactive sale!
We live in a rare build house and needed the expertise of a local agent. Other local agents cap the value of these houses but Matthew (manager) at the Epping Branch used his knowledge of our area and the market to value the house very well - beyond what we expected but realistic!His confidence wasn't false - many viewings were booked before the property was on Rightmove and we even got an offer exceeding the asking price before it was online! This was due to the proactive marketing of the property to their registered potential buyers. The team at Epping were very helpful, even taking care of the dog when they had viewings during work days! Matthew has kept a personal touch to the process and has kept to his word on everything. I would recommend his service highly!
