Janine Briggs - Douglas Allen (Wansted)

I recently dealt with Janine Briggs at the Wansted I office who helped with a sale and purchase.Janine is professional, friendly and very efficient- she goes out if her way and is so helpful.

Agent replied Β· 22 October 2024

Dear Patsy,Thank you very much for your 5 Star review of our Wanstead and in particular of Janine there. Janine has been invaluable to so many of our customers who have moved home over the years and goes to prove how having dedicated Sales Progressors manage your move are so important. Most other agents don't employ them and those that do don't have anyone as good as Janine!Thank you very much for your custom and I wish you much happiness in your new home.Kind regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director

I telephoned Douglas Allen Chingford

I telephoned Douglas Allen Chingford, whilst on my way to view new property's in Wellingborough. The reason I contacted DA was because I had purchased in 2005 and was extremely happy with the service. That day an appointment was made for a valuation for James and Kaitlin to come round. They visited me last Friday and within less than a week I have had over 8 viewings without it even being online or pictures being taken. I have an offer already which is absolutely amazing. I feel confident with the services that DA are providing to me and more than highly recommend them to anyone thinking of purchasing a new home as they will defiantly ensure you will get across the finish line.

estate agents with hearts

Maureen and Natasha helped me during a very difficult time in selling my family home. They explained each step of the way and never once did I feel I was a burden to them or the other staff during this bewildering and stressful time. I cannot thank them enough for all they did and all the staff deserve medals for staying so positive and managing to keep me calm and stress free. If you want a personalised service by people who make you feel like family and have your best interests at heart then Maureen, Natasha and all the staff at Douglas Allen East Ham are the ones to trust.

Me and my partner are looking to buy…

Me and my partner are looking to buy our first property. Having no knowledge on how to start we walked into Douglas Allen and was met by Mr Hasan Anwar who was very informative and introduced us to his broker. This helped us with our decision and taking in all the helpful information we will be back in a few months as we would be in a strong position to by a house rather than looking at big flats. Thank you Douglas Allen.

An excellent service

My contact at Douglas Allen, Tanya Keene, has kept me up to date during the sale and made it a much simpler process. It has been a quite emotional time as the flat was my mum's home for around 40 years and she had been living there until she was 97 years old and then had to go into a care home for the last 5 years. So it has been quite a wrench to sell the flat but thank you again for making it an easier time for me. I would recommend Douglas Allen to anyone looking for an estate agent.

Excellent service!

After frankly dreadful service from another agent I dumped them and decided to market my house with Douglas Allen. And I'm so glad I did. they were professional, friendly and effective straight from the off. My house went online with them on a Monday morning and that afternoon they phoned to book two viewings in the next couple of days. All in all, I had well over ten viewings in the first two weeks, resulting in three offers. Unfortunately, the first offer I accepted fell through and the team were on the case immediately. Long story short, they contacted the other two offers and we negotiated a sale with one of them. I am now settling into my new home in Dorset and very grateful for their help in my achieving my dream. They were consistently prompt and clear in communication, helpful, friendly and the viewings were well selected. The whole team were great but I should mention Maria for leading the process with skill and enthusiasm and Ben, who helped out effectively in a couple of sticky moments. They really showed me how a good estate agency should work!

Would recommend Douglas Allen

From the beginning of the process Douglas Allen have been fantastic. Maria came to the house to value it and gave us the best price, she also made us feel like we were going to be supported throughout the process. Linda then was our point of call throughout, she contacted solictors when needed, on our behalf and if we had any questions she always replied straight away. She was fantastic. Thank you so much!

Thank you Barkingside team!

Douglas Allen Barkingside found me a buyer for my house within a few days of putting it on the market. Unfortunately this buyer couldn't complete and Douglas Allen recommended putting the house back up for sale. Within 24 hours they had found another buyer and in a few short weeks, I have completed. During the process I have phoned Douglas Allen many times and have found that whichever member of the team took my call they were always up to speed with my case and always friendly and helpful. They all did their best to make the process as stress free as possible. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Would I use them again? Absolutely!!!! Marilyn Gold

Dear Marilyn, I am really pleased that our Barkingside office has really helped you move forward on your life's journey. We will always carry out every check possible but on occasions buyers do let us all down, although as you say this was identified early and another buyer was found as quickly as possible. I am so pleased to see that you would highly recommend our service and we very much look forward to helping you or anyone you know moving forward.Kind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

Jessica Roche is wonderful

My girlfriend and I are looking for a place to live in Chingford. Jessica Roche at the Douglas Allen office there has been unbelievably helpful, beginning with a long chat on the phone about what we’re looking for, then a meeting in the office where she set me up with a solicitor for selling my flat and buying new property, and then driving us around to viewings in Chingford as we don’t have a car. She is amiable, forthright, professional, and discreet. She personified going above and beyond the call of the trade.

Excellent service

When choosing an estate agent to sell our house we went with Douglas Allen because we were hoping to move ahead quickly, and they seemed to be geared up to offer what we were after. Right from the start we got great advice and service. Our house was immediately marketed to a good number of people, and following a number of viewings within the first week we received two very good offers that were at the top end of the estimates we had been given by a number of estate agents. We had the benefit of the services of Robin and Aseena who were excellent, and led us through the process empathetically and with great experience. We are now at the point where, hopefully, completion is in sight. Thank you very much.

Chadwell heath, so unprofessional!

Had a very stressful time selling through Chadwell heath branch, Michael allowed potential buyers into our property before exchange had been done, they stayed for a whole day doing work & had a moving in ceremony, even though at this stage it wasn't their house! They never asked us for permission, good job we had good neighbours advising us what was going on! We had no phone call from the manager as off sick, Michelle never bothered to contact us either. Very poor service all round, this went through the whole complaints procedure, & onto ombudsmen. All could have been avoided if Michael had acted in the professional manner in the 1st place. Would never recommend or use again.. in answer to your reply, unfortunately it happened, your customer relations dept was good in dealing with it, just not the branch.

I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone, they are 100% excellent; if I could leave 10 stars for them I would!They marketed our late father's house energetically, professionally and very successfully and achieved an excellent price for it. I don't believe any other estate agent could or would have done the same.From start to finish, their communication has been absolutely brilliant. EVERY single person I have spoken to at Douglas Allen has been friendly and helpful. I've communicated most often with David Tomlins and with Chelsey Baldwin and so very special thanks are due to both of them :)Thank you all for such a brilliant service, it is deeply appreciated.

Clear, professional service for first time landlords

I met 6 different estate agents and Chloe Costa from Douglas Allen easily stood out - she presented the costs and services of a managed let clearly and succinctly. We are first time landlords and this clarity was important. It has been smooth going from the point of agreement and Abbie Wilson communicated with us clearly as the house went up for rental. The property was let and agreed within a perfect timescale for us and our moved was made easier because of Chloe and Abbie’s professionalism.

Worst experience during my recent purchase

Really worst experience during my recent buying of a property. I have viewed and worked with many other agents but no one has this kind of attitude and communication at all.I was ready to increase my offer for Β£15000 but the Senior !!!!! Marketing Consultant, named Nabeel Ali didn't let me increase my offer saying that no need to. Afterwards, he miscommunicated with the vendor regarding our chain even though he was aware that we have the buyer ready with the approved mortgage application. From the beginning, he was tricky and rude. Never had this kind of experience with any professional person.Such a shame !!

Khyati Β· 6 September 2018

Agent replied Β· 22 October 2024

Dear KhyatiThank you for your feedback.After investigating the comments that you have raised, please rest assured that your increased offers were submitted to the seller by Nabeel and the position of your buyer was not discussed with them at this stage. As yours was not the only offer received, the seller made the decision to accept the offer from whoever arranged a survey first. We fully understand how frustrating and disappointing it can be when your offer is not the successful one however we have no control over this decision which is the seller's alone to make.Nabeel had not intended to come across as rude or dismissive during any of your conversations and we offer our most sincere apologies if he inadvertently did so. We strive to deliver outstanding customer service to all of our customers and we are sorry if you feel disappointed with your experience on this occasion. We would like to wish you the very best with your property search and should you wish to discuss your experience in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Relations department on 01702 540802. Thank you. Kind regardsDouglas Allen

KEEP AWAY FROM THESE GUYS

KEEP AWAY FROM THESE GUYSI was promised a professional service; they insisted on their conveyancers who had little understanding of leasehold ownership, i was strung along for almost 9 months ignoring many of my calls, it was not explained about a request for a change on the head lease until many months later. I lost my buyer who said she no longer believed a word these people told her, my cheap mortgage for the new property i was buying , my income as my tenants had to leave when in fact the completion dates where all pie in the sky. I've lost over Β£8000, and am considering legal action and the stress and costs continues.

Paulette Β· 5 September 2018

Agent replied Β· 22 October 2024

Dear Paulette Thank you for providing us with your feedback.We recommend certain conveyancers due to previous and consistent experiences of excellent customer service and regular communication. We are therefore sorry to learn that this may not have been your experience. Whilst we recommend these conveyancers, they remain a separate organisation to Douglas Allen and we would therefore encourage you to discuss any issues that you have directly with them. The conveyancing process can often be protracted and unfortunately delays can occur if issues arise. Whilst our staff endeavour to assist our customers during this stage as much as possible by acting as liaison between the parties involved, they have very little influence and control during this time and can only relay the information provided to them.We are sorry to learn that your sale has recently fallen through and fully appreciate your frustration. We trust that the branch are continuing to assist you with finding another buyer as quickly as possible however in the meantime, we would encourage you to contact our Customer Relations department on 01702 540802 to discuss your experience in more detail. Thank you. Kind regardsDouglas Allen
