Pls avoid this estate agent in Epping…

Pls avoid this estate agent in Epping Essex .we have had a very a bad experience with Douglas and Allen “they have treated us really bad they have lied to us and left us dangling on the other end when they had told us they had sold the property we wanted to buy and they excepted our offer at that time .Douglas and Allen done a dirty and kept that property we wanted to buy for some one else and made out it was sold it’s disgusting for them to treat us like this so pls do not get caught out with this agent Douglas & Allen Epping .it’s a warning to everyone .

Shockingly unprofessional and ruled by greed.

Absolutely shocking treatment from Douglas Allen Branch in Loughton. I had my property listed with them for a number of months last year without the property selling. I was moving to another agent in January but stuck with them at their insistence and their promise that they would do everything to sell my home. By March, still no sale and, despite frequent emails and calls to their manager, no one responded. The 'apparent' cancellation of three prospective viewings the first week in March was the last straw, resulting in me withdrawing my property from sale with them and moving to another local agent. that agent sold my property in the first week, but greedy, useless Douglas Allen decided that they wanted the commission on the sale, although they had absolutely nothing at all to do with the buyer or the sale. They finally got in touch and then called me every day for their commission when I had no response before to my emails for three months. They sent me legal letters insisting I paid them the commission, so, eventually I had to withdraw my property from sale. I lost my house sale and the first-time buyers who were purchasing my property lost their ideal starter home. Greed and avarice from Douglas Allen seeking payment for their ineptitude and greed and for doing absolutely nothing. This is exactly the unscrupulous, greedy practice that gives the property industry such a bad name. Outrageous.

Keeping their promise

Thank you Team Woodford. i had been with a different estate company for so long and had to drop my price 25K because after all the apprisal and confirmation of "sellers market" the other estate agent could barely get me an offer. Come Douglas allen....they not only got me the price we agreed but did that in less than 3 weeks. thank you.

Thank you Ahsan!

Can't thank Ahsan enough for his help, patience and professionalism at all times assisting my parents with the sale of their property so far. They have lived in the same house for 47 years so as you can imagine leaving is a great wrench for them on an emotional and practical level. Ahsan has given a first class service going above and beyond

Ahsan is an extremely valued member of our Douglas Allen team and I am sure he will be chuffed with your kind comments.If we can do anything more for your parents or yourself please do not hesitate to ask.Regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director, Douglas Allen

Amazing service and assistance.

The Lettings Manager Joanna Martin went above and beyond to help myself and my children when became homeless in January 2022. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we ended up in a womens refuge because other agents were unable to help or even try to help. Thanks to Joanna we stayed in the hostel for less than 3 weeks as she managed to find a Landlord who would rent a property to us. I wish there were more agents out there like Joanna, I will be eternally grateful.

Satisfied Seller

Maureen and her Team in the East Ham Branch were all excellent and very professional. Hasan dealt with any queries I had promptly, as did Rosalie. I was kept informed at all times in what can be a very stressful time. This was the second time my family have used this branch and both times the service was above and beyond of what was expected. We had an offer within the first week of the house going on the market. I would definitely recommend them.

Douglas Allen Loughton team sold my flat recently. Luke was professional / knows the area and was available when required. Ellie was a master negotiator and wonderful as she managed to sell the property in 1st viewing. But selling a property is a lengthy process, waiting for searches, surveys etc. and for that Douglas Allen have a special department. Tina was awesome, calm and a problem solver. She pushed the other side and in some cases my side and made them walk step by step. The property wouldn't have completed without her. In all, all 3 are 5*

Massive thanks to Natasha Tomlins

My purchase took 11 months to complete and we experienced some last minute problems which almost resulted in the purchase falling through. Had it not been for Natasha’s persistence in chasing all parties involved, I am certain we would not have completed before my mortgage offer expired. Cannot thank her, Steve and the team enough.

I have just bought my property through Douglas Allen in Loughton. Both Trish and especially Janine was fantastic. It was a very tricky and challenging time, but Janine expertise made me feel at ease and was more than capable of dealing / chasing both sides of solicitors.Would recommend Douglas Allen, the whole team was very friendly in the branch also.

Very happy with the service from Steve and the team at Douglas Allen in Woodford. Two agents failed to get a result and those months of wasted time cost me a few thousand. Glad Steve had a plan and I felt confident that we were in safe hands. Great work from khaleesha too in her help with the solicitors.

Personal service

We've had a great experience so for with the East Ham branch of Douglas Allen. Our first contact was Waseem who has listened closely to our requirements and worked hard to give us the attention and options we are looking for. Waseem was less of a hard sales man and more of a trusted advisor. I'll definately use Douglas Allen again.

Amazingly efficient, thorough service

From first meeting through to completion of sale, Douglas Allen in East Ham were amazing. They generated massive interest in the property - around 100 people came to two open days - and managed this well. A few obstacles arose during the conveyancing, but Andrew Bilby ensured these were all resolved. A great team of people - I strongly recommend them.

Dear Mr Bickley,Thank you very much for your 5 Star review, it's great to hear how successful our East Ham office have been in selling your home. It's kind of you also to mention our Sales Progressor there, Andrew Bilby. All our Progressors do such a sterling job of in helping our clients at every step of the transaction and ironing our many problems along quite a complex process, it still surprises me how few agents actually go to the expense of employing these dedicated people.Thank you again for pointing out the success of our Open Houses and how well it was managed, that takes some doing with 100 people however that's how we're able to gain the very highest prices for our Sellers.Kind regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director, Douglas Allen

Excellent. First class service

Having used other agents with no result I switched to Douglas Allen in Barkingside where Dan and his team came up with a different strategy to get my home sold. Within just 3 weeks they had several offers and I ended up accepting an offer over the asking price. Such a great team of people, head and shoulders above other agents.
