TrustpilotI would not hesitate to recommend this…
I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone, they are 100% excellent; if I could leave 10 stars for them I would!They marketed our late father's house energetically, professionally and very successfully and achieved an excellent price for it. I don't believe any other estate agent could or would have done the same.From start to finish, their communication has been absolutely brilliant. EVERY single person I have spoken to at Douglas Allen has been friendly and helpful. I've communicated most often with David Tomlins and with Chelsey Baldwin and so very special thanks are due to both of them :)Thank you all for such a brilliant service, it is deeply appreciated.

TrustpilotClear, professional service for first time landlords
I met 6 different estate agents and Chloe Costa from Douglas Allen easily stood out - she presented the costs and services of a managed let clearly and succinctly. We are first time landlords and this clarity was important. It has been smooth going from the point of agreement and Abbie Wilson communicated with us clearly as the house went up for rental. The property was let and agreed within a perfect timescale for us and our moved was made easier because of Chloe and Abbie’s professionalism.

TrustpilotWorst experience during my recent purchase
Really worst experience during my recent buying of a property. I have viewed and worked with many other agents but no one has this kind of attitude and communication at all.I was ready to increase my offer for £15000 but the Senior !!!!! Marketing Consultant, named Nabeel Ali didn't let me increase my offer saying that no need to. Afterwards, he miscommunicated with the vendor regarding our chain even though he was aware that we have the buyer ready with the approved mortgage application. From the beginning, he was tricky and rude. Never had this kind of experience with any professional person.Such a shame !!

Agent replied · 19 June 2024
Dear KhyatiThank you for your feedback.After investigating the comments that you have raised, please rest assured that your increased offers were submitted to the seller by Nabeel and the position of your buyer was not discussed with them at this stage. As yours was not the only offer received, the seller made the decision to accept the offer from whoever arranged a survey first. We fully understand how frustrating and disappointing it can be when your offer is not the successful one however we have no control over this decision which is the seller's alone to make.Nabeel had not intended to come across as rude or dismissive during any of your conversations and we offer our most sincere apologies if he inadvertently did so. We strive to deliver outstanding customer service to all of our customers and we are sorry if you feel disappointed with your experience on this occasion. We would like to wish you the very best with your property search and should you wish to discuss your experience in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Relations department on 01702 540802. Thank you. Kind regardsDouglas Allen

TrustpilotKEEP AWAY FROM THESE GUYS
KEEP AWAY FROM THESE GUYSI was promised a professional service; they insisted on their conveyancers who had little understanding of leasehold ownership, i was strung along for almost 9 months ignoring many of my calls, it was not explained about a request for a change on the head lease until many months later. I lost my buyer who said she no longer believed a word these people told her, my cheap mortgage for the new property i was buying , my income as my tenants had to leave when in fact the completion dates where all pie in the sky. I've lost over £8000, and am considering legal action and the stress and costs continues.

Agent replied · 19 June 2024
Dear Paulette Thank you for providing us with your feedback.We recommend certain conveyancers due to previous and consistent experiences of excellent customer service and regular communication. We are therefore sorry to learn that this may not have been your experience. Whilst we recommend these conveyancers, they remain a separate organisation to Douglas Allen and we would therefore encourage you to discuss any issues that you have directly with them. The conveyancing process can often be protracted and unfortunately delays can occur if issues arise. Whilst our staff endeavour to assist our customers during this stage as much as possible by acting as liaison between the parties involved, they have very little influence and control during this time and can only relay the information provided to them.We are sorry to learn that your sale has recently fallen through and fully appreciate your frustration. We trust that the branch are continuing to assist you with finding another buyer as quickly as possible however in the meantime, we would encourage you to contact our Customer Relations department on 01702 540802 to discuss your experience in more detail. Thank you. Kind regardsDouglas Allen

TrustpilotMy elderly parents signed up with them…
My elderly parents signed up with them to sell their house. Douglas Allen then put it on some strange scheme of equity release. I complained and they apologised and removed it. The house was sold via Lawlors in May. We cancelled the contract with Douglas Allen twice and received confirmation They still published the house despite their wishes. We then got an e mail in early July to say they’d stopped. Today ( 3 months later) my parents got a letter saying ithey needed it be put in writing again. If you have older or vulnerable sellers please do not use this agent.
Fiona · 18 August 2018
Agent replied · 19 June 2024
Dear Ms McCormack Thank you for providing us with your feedback. Please be assured that we have no involvement with any equity release schemes. This property was marketed on a dual pricing plan with Homewise, as initially agreed with your parents, and this has no detriment or effect on the equity in their property. The property was withdrawn from Douglas Allen when the first sale was agreed through another agent however your parents reinstructed the Chigwell office when the sale fell though. When a subsequent sale was agreed, marketing was suspended on request and kept on hold until Chigwell office was informed that completion had taken place. This was in your parent’s best interests as it would have expedited remarketing through Douglas Allen again if the second sale fell through. Please accept our apologies for any confusion caused by the most recent letter your parents received, which was unfortunately sent to them in error and can be disregarded. We hope that the move went smoothly and wish your parents every happiness in their new home. Kind regards Douglas Allen, Customer Relations

Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the service you received on this occasion.When Joelle carried out an appraisal of your property she informed you of a success story in which our Basildon branch had listed a property on a Friday afternoon and our customer had accepted an offer on it the following Monday morning. Whilst this is unusually quick, we would strive to have similar interest and success in selling your property.Joelle recommended an asking price for your property however you understandably wished to test the market by trying a higher price initially. Joelle agreed to this with a view to reducing the price if it did not receive the level of interest that we would expect.It is regrettable that your first open house did not receive the interest expected, which we believe was due to the asking price. Unfortunately the customer who wished to attend cancelled because of the England World Cup football match, which also affected the second open house event scheduled and other property viewings. We apologise sincerely if you were not advised that it would not go ahead. Communication appears to have been regular and effective outside of this issue, however we are sorry for the frustration caused and thank you kindly for your feedback.Customer Relations - Douglas Allen

I have found the services of Douglas Allen to be extremely professional and reliable since my property first went on the market with them in May. My flat was sold relatively quickly due the expert services they provided and even when the buyers pulled out of the first sale, Douglas Allen responded swiftly and efficiently to ensure the property was marketed and sold once again in no time at all. In particular I would like to acknowledge one of their marketing consultants, Michael Aloto, who was brilliant throughout the whole experience. He was helpful, supportive, understanding and a true professional throughout. All of his hard work into making the sale of the property go so smoothly, especially the second time around will always be appreciated.I would definitely recommend Douglas Allen to anyone wanting to sell their property in the future.Maxine.

TrustpilotChallenging Sale.
Dealt with the Barkingside Office to sell my Mother's property as executor of her will. Used the "Best Bids" option and quickly had several offers. Unfortunately the purchaser, who was a cash buyer, caused all sorts of problems to everybody by his continual "stalling" tactics. It was frustrating to us, our solicitor and the agent; until Douglas Allen eventually forced his hand by finding another buyer.Overall, the service was good. I would especially praise Bilal Ahmed who we dealt with. He was very professional and helpful throughout the process.

I am pleased to see that Bilal and the team agreed to re-market the property to find you another buyer. As you say this then motivated the original person to move forward.I will pass on your thanks to Bilal regarding his professional and helpful manner.Kind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

We've just completed our first house purchase and would like to thank Douglas Allen for their assistance during the process. They had a wide range of properties available for us to view, and showed real interest in finding a property which suited our requirements.

Tanya, your work pushing our house sale through was invaluable and we have no doubt that it was down to you that we were able to complete before our rental contract finished.

I would highly recommend the Barkingside team for their professional service in marketing our property. We carried out analysis of three Estate agents two of which were high-street trading and one online before we entrusted the sale of our property to Douglas Allen. Their initial presentation, knowledge and experience team of agents provided an abundance of local sales knowledge and support throughout the selling process. In essence having had in excess of fifty viewings we achieved the sale at the price expected within three weeks of marketing which involved extraordinary effort from all of the Douglas Allen team.Not the first time I have used Douglas Allen, we were impressed with the service the first time we used them twenty eight years ago and they still lead the field............amazingOur Thanks to BiIal, Kailesh, Micheal & Amer Good Job guys !

TrustpilotHouse sold at over asking price during first viewing
10/10 and exceeded expectations ! Having not sold a house for over 30 years we were very wary of Estate Agents. Especially when Matthew valued our house at far more than other agents, and the commission was also higher. However the Douglas Allen Web Site looked better than that of other agents, and working on the principle that you get what you paid for, we signed up for a sole agency with Katie. She was very patient and spent ages going through the options with us, ensuring we were happy.The third couple to view the property on the first weekend of viewing came back and made a good offer that we were pleased to accept. All conveyancing went promptly, helped along by dedicated Sales Progessor Tanya. We have now exchanged and will be completing at end of month. Can't believe it all went so well. Many thanks.

Dear Barbara, 5 Star review and 10/10, thank you for taking the time to add your thoughts about our tam at the Epping office. Knowing the local area and exactly what the potential buyers are looking for and are willing to pay is the key to a successful estate agency. I totally agree that you get what you pay for, many client feel that the cheapest fee is the best way of selling their home, from your experience this proves that the cheapest agent would of worked out the most expensive and the higher fee agent meant that you had the most money at the end. We are always looking to ensure our clients are happy as we want them to be clients for life and not just one transaction. Having the dedicated sales progressor and ensuring that we manage the sale closely helps to ensure that the legal process goes through smoothly and all the chain are fully updated and chased.I am so pleased that you are moving shortly and would like to wish you all the very best in your new home.Kind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

TrustpilotWalthamstow Branch: Not recommended. Bad experience.
When we first met Maria for our valuation we were initially impressed. She was chatty, lively and seemed like she cared about us and our desire to move to a bigger home (by selling our one). She valued our property at a comparable rate to the other two agents we met and, although the most expensive of the three, we decided that following our discussion her, Douglas Allen were the ones to work with us to sell our home. They even tempted us with an ‘early view’ of a property they thought we’d like. After that it went downhill.Despite putting a bid on the ‘early view’ property, nothing ever materialised. But they never told me the offer was rejected. It took multiple phone calls and chases for them to finally tell me that the owners were actually unlikely to sell. They talked up their ‘innovative’ online management system, where we could monitor feedback and bids, but we did not receive ONE call from them updating us post viewing. Not one. I had to call in for updates every single time and several times left messages that went unanswered, prompting further calls. Not good. Looking back, with hindsight, they also rushed us through the contract stage and although didn’t wilfully hide anything from us, were not very open about contract lengths, (5 MONTHS!) cooling off periods and fees (calculated as a % but then written in to the contract as a set fee). I had multiple ‘heated discussions’ with Maria about their lack of willing to work with us on property pricing. Whilst they kept telling us they thought we should drop the price of our property to get a sale, they weren’t willing to lower their fixed fee. I was expected to drop my house price by tens of thousands, but they were willing to budge on their fees. Not really collaborative. It only got resolved as we neared the contract end date and I threatened to see out the contract without dropping the price. All very stressful. Terms liked ‘threatened’, ‘unwilling’ ‘heated’ ‘stressful’ are the last things you want when selling your home. It’s stressfulEnough and a good estate agent can help mitigate that stress (or so I’ve heard). Working with Douglas Allen made the entire experience worse than it should have been. I would like to say the interactions I had with Ben Ryan, one of the agents who showed our house to people, were always positive and friendly and should he move to a different agency, I would happily work with him again. But that’s the only positive I can say. I honestly would struggle to recommend an estate agent less, and would strongly advise anyone considering to work with them to look at this review and consider their choice again.

TrustpilotGizem @ Chadwell Heath - The perfect example of how an estate agent should be!
I have dealt with a number of different estate agents when looking for a home, and i can honestly say Douglas Allen was, by far, better in every aspect. They remained professional and informative, which put me at ease thoroughout the entire process. Gizem in particular was helpful from the very first viewing all the way through to completion. She kept me posted throughout and made every extra effort to fit additional viewings around my busy schedule. She was honest & friendly, and did not come across 'too hungry' (unlike other agents) which quickly built up trust - this was invaluable for a first time buyer.
