TrustpilotWill Nash
Will is an excellent mortgage advisor. Easy to deal with, reliable and very keen to provide advice on the best products for specific mortgage needs. It is immediately apparent that Will is highly knowledgeable and experienced in the mortgage industry.
I am working with Will for the second time. This is because he makes the usually tough and drawn out mortgage process as simple as possible while making sure I know everything I need to know.
Very happy customer.

TrustpilotGreat service from East Ham and Riana
I really cannot recommend Douglas Allen enough, especially Riana in the East Ham office. Although we didn’t end up purchasing through her, she was really helping prior to us finding our home, very informative at viewings and even after we had our sale agreed via another agent. It was really refreshing to come across an agent who was genuinely interested in helping us. A credit to the team!!

I’d like to say a big thanks to Richard and all the team at Woodford for helping us find our new home, the service we received was brilliant, after our purchase fell through with another agent, he took the time to understand what we wanted and gave some good advice, showed us some great houses and they turned a stressful time into a positive experience, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

TrustpilotThanks Douglas Allen Woodford
Thanks Douglas Allen Woodford I had a few agents round to see my home. I chose Douglas Allen as they seemed to know the market the best and had a lot of evidence to support their figures. I was really pleased with the service throughout and once I had sold they continued to update me right up until I handed over the keys. Special thanks to Steve and Keith who were the key players in my move.

Douglas Allen were a nice company to deal with. They were not your typical pushy agent but they were assertive. There were a few problems throughout the legal process once we had sold but Keith took each one in his stride with Steve taking a hard line with our buyers when they started delaying the process. It all fell back into place with a no nonsense approach and we moved last month. Very grateful to you all.

This is our first house purchase and we have been very happy with Douglas Allen Barkingside branch. Ummad was the person that we first met when viewing and felt straight away that he was someone that could trust and he knew a lot about the property. There were some teething problems, however we were reassured by Ummad and Daniel. We would recommend Douglas Allen as a good all round estate agent and their local knowledge was excellent.

I have just sold my flat after trying unsuccessfully with another agent. Steve from Douglas Allen was confidant he could help and showed me evidence of many local sales the branch had achieved.

TrustpilotWould avoid at all costs
Would avoid at all costs. Over price your house then encourage you to drop the price after a week when it has no interest.Constantly say they’re emailing and calling potential buyers, when the website statistics say different. Everything is done at a snails pace. After we switched estate agents they left the house up for sale in the window for 3 weeks even though we weren’t selling with them anymore… that’s how absent minded they are. If you want a stress free and smooth sale go with Temme English. If you want to sell your house for £20k less than it’s worth go with Alex at Douglas Allen.
