GoogleI’d like to thank Stuart and his team for their professionalism and support throughout the process; from their marketing which was second to none to the constant contact and updates. A special mention to Rumel and Dawn who were always on the other end of the phone when I needed them, Natasha and of course Stuart, my grateful thanks. I have no hesitation in recommending Douglas Allen for all your property needs,

GoogleI would just like to thank every staff member at Douglas Allen Woodford Branch who was involved in selling my house 😃.
Thank you to Rumel Miah, who started the process, Natasha Tomlins who was the middle person talking to all parties, and other staff members who showed my house to potential buyers. 😃, and others in background working on my property, Keep up the good work.
I bought my house in 2008 from Douglas Allen (east ham branch) , and 16 years later sold my house with Douglas Allen.
Thank you so much everyone at Douglas Allen.

GoogleI’ve been searching for a flat for a few months now, and during that time, I’ve encountered many estate agents. However, none have come close to the exceptional service provided by Dawn from Douglas Allen. Living far from the area I’m looking to purchase in, Dawn went above and beyond by organising an entire day of viewings to ensure I could make the most of my time there.
Her professionalism and warm personality made the experience outstanding. Not only did she offer valuable advice throughout the day, but she also demonstrated a genuine understanding of my needs and preferences. I’ve never come across an agent as dedicated and thoughtful as Dawn, and I highly recommend her and the team at Douglas Allen. I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received.

GoogleWhat can I say ! Glad I chose douglas allen ( woodford green) to be the agents for selling my home . Dawn from the team has supported us 100% from the start and has been very helpful from the start supporting us with the paperwork and she really stretched to get us as many viewings as possible. She made the selling process so much easier and got our house sold at a good price very quickly . Very impressed

Google“I highly recommend Douglas Allen. The staff were professional from the very start and helped the sale of my property to go very smoothly.
When I met Rumel Miah, I had confidence in his knowledge of the local housing market and his ability to achieve a good price for my property. This confidence was well placed. He advised me on the best options for viewing my property and where I should pitch the asking price based on local comparables.
Rumel was amazing throughout and he and his colleague James even created a beautiful short video of the property to be promoted on social media apart from the professional photography of my property.
His team took care of everything for me including making sure that there was always somebody from their office to accompany any viewings taking place.
Given how complex selling a property can be, I would recommend that you consider the whole package that Douglas Allen offer, and their professional and approachable nature, and don't just go with the cheapest quote you get from an agent who you don't have a rapport with. I can say this with confidence because my property was sold in a record shortest time frame of being advertised in the market in just 2 weeks…!
For me this has turned out to be an amazing stress free experience for which I highly recommend Douglas Allen and special shout out to Rumel for all his hard work."

I would highly recommend her to my friends, family and fellow landlords, investors and developers as a go-to person.

GoogleWe had a very good experience of working with all the team at Douglas Allen for the sale of my mother’s house. They were very professional, kept us informed closely with the app and by email and phone call. They accompanied all potential buyers over a number of months and when we had a sale a dedicated team member worked very hard to push things along as quickly as possible. In the climate of house buying today, this was an excellent service. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

GoogleI don’t usually leave reviews but we had a really poor experience with this estate agent. Deceitful and underhand actions to sell a property from Stuart and his colleagues, they won’t put anything in writing and they’ll completely backtrack on their word at a moment’s notice. It’s a real shame since we had a really good experience with other estates agents during the purchasing process, which really put their service into perspective.
