GoogleI recently had the pleasure of encountering extraordinary service at Douglas Allen with Anita.From start to finish, my experience was nothing short of phenomenal. It's not often that I feel compelled to write a review, but the outstanding service I received truly deserves recognition.
What impressed me the most was Anita’s deep knowledge of their products and services. She is well-informed and enthusiastic, consistently offering valuable insights and suggestions. This level of expertise created a trust that allowed me to make informed decisions confidently, ensuring that I ended up with the perfect solution.
Your dedication and outstanding efforts have left an indelible impression on me. Keep up the amazing work, and I look forward to my next visit!

GoogleRecommend Maria and the Walthamstow branch hugely. I have been part of a modern auction which was a new one on me and, frankly, very daunting but Maria was always available and patiently answered all my questions. I felt very supported. Really grateful to her and the branch for their time and help.

We purchased our house earlier this year after looking for several years. We found Ray helpful when searching for houses. Over the years he learnt about our criterias and what we were looking for in a house. He would often get us to view houses before they went onto the market with our criteria in mind. Once we found the house and offer was accepted, Janine ensured the transaction went as smoothly as possible and also made herself available for any questions or concerns during that time.

Dear Jaanani,Many thanks for taking the time to post your 5 Star review of your experience when buying your home through our Wanstead office and in particular the help you were given by Ray and Janine. Ray must be the most experienced estate agent living and working in the Wanstead area and takes great pride in using his knowledge to find our customers their dream home. Janine’s value as a Sales Progressor is incredible, many companies don’t go to the expense of employing these but as you can see, her skill and all-round assistance are such an asset throughout what can be a stressful time.On behalf of our team I would like to wish you much happiness in your new home.Kind regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director

I contacted Douglas Allen for a desktop valuation quote and spoke to a chap called David. I have to say he was very good and really helpful. He patiently took the time to answer all your questions with honesty and even offered additional advice to improve the selling price of my property. He knows his stuff and have given me detailed, honest advice with my best interests at heart and I have now walked away from this conversation with him with a definitive strategy.

TrustpilotUnprofessional! Dishonest staff.
Unprofessional! Tried to arrange a viewing of a property with this estate agent - Chadwell Heath office. They took our details at the beginning of the week - that we're not in a chain, mortgage in place, budget etc. Agent told us he would get back to us about a viewing. Didn't hear anything at the end of the day or following morning. So I called and enquired what's happening? They said they were trying to sort out a date with the seller. This went on all week always the same reply. We have not had this experience with any other agent; a long delay in sorting out a viewing or not being forthcoming with information as we asked is the property 'under offer'. Friday afternoon my husband calls again same thing. Later this evening I see the property shows on a website as 'sold stc'. They wasted our time by not just sharing basic information that an offer is being considered. Many other agents have the decency and professionalism to do this. Told a few other people this evening what happened and when I told them who the agent was. They all had negative experiences of this estate agent. Spoke to several of their staff over the week between my husband and I. Hope this makes others aware what they're like and they'll waste your time.

Dear Ms KhatunWe are sorry to learn of your experience whilst endeavouring to view a property through Douglas Allen and appreciate the frustration of losing out on an ideal property. Whilst the staff were trying to arranging a mutually convenient viewing time, the seller advised that they wanted to consider a revised offer from a buyer who had already viewed the property. The seller subsequently accepted this offer, declined further viewings and the website was updated. We hope that this reassures you that we were following our seller's instructions as required however please contact the Customer Relations department on 01702 540802 or email customer.relations@arunestates.co.uk if you would like to share any further information with us.Thank you.Douglas Allen

As a first time single buyer navigating the process Faisal has debunked the jargon and exposed the myths behind high street banks making the steps I need to secure my first property clear, simple and achievable.
