Dear Mr Carter,Thank you very much indeed for your kind words relating to Janine Briggs and your 5 Star review. Janine is one of a rare breed, a Sales Progressor who is 100% focused on turning a sale into a home-move and has been successfully doing this within Douglas Allen for almost 30 years! Most agents don't employ Sales Progressors and hopefully you have positively benefitted from our decision to do so right across our company.Thank you very much for choosing Douglas Allen to sell your home, your custom is genuinely appreciated.Regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director, Douglas Allen

TrustpilotI do not recommend
I would not recommend this company even if you are desperate to sell your property. They approached me to list my property and when I said the price that I want is £345K for a new build 1 bed flat 77smq on a main road, they suggested that I am not going to achieve even £300K. This is even less than what I paid when I bought the flat in 2019!They are just looking for an easy sale without much effort.Also, they keep suggesting their mortgage adviser who is apparently working in their branch through a partnership as the best specialist in the area. When I had a chat with her and mentioned that I used L&C mortgages before, she said that "they are not that good, don't they", well they are actually amazing and FREE. When the sales agent spoke with me it sounded more like he tries to sell this lady's services than helping me to sell my flat. Honestly, this is a horrible and very stressful experience, especially for a first-time seller, who is trying to make their next move.

Fantastic service and very helpful indeed. They also continued to be helpful once I had decided to buy a property with another agent as I felt that was the right one, which is a level of professionalism which is impressive (for example by recommending a surveyor).

Poor sales negotiators and the inability to return calls meant that Douglas Allen was a no go for me. There were plenty of other reasons too like inflexibility when trying to do a short term contract and a sales fee that had no flexibility were the main reasons I chose not to go with them.
