TrustpilotEast Ham office
I want to say a big thank you to all the team at the East Ham branch. I think the friendliest estate agents I have ever met. They remind me of a little family! I want to give a special mention to Waseem, Maureen, Hasan and Faisal. They have been very proactive in my search for a BTL property. Very accommodating and flexible with viewings. Really impressed. Thank you!

TrustpilotExcellent professional service
Jill, Carl and the team at the billericay branch were excellent . Very professional and we instantly felt at ease following a very poor experience with a competitor. There is no doubt that you are more expensive than your competators however we are confident that the property will sell in their hands
Tony who took the photographs consulted us throughout the process So a very good experience all round

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

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.

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 · 22 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

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."
