Maria Ticehurst (Walthamstow) and Andrew Bilby (Eastham)

Maria and Andrew were without doubt the best thing about Douglas Allen. Maria was extremely hard working and driven. Andrew was highly pro-active and reassuring. He worked very hard for many weeks to look for solutions to problems that arose and to encourage and speed up the solicitors in the chain.

Reece and Harrison were great from start to finish and I’d highly recommend their services. Regardless of the query they were always happy to help. Reece set up a WhatsApp group to continuously communicate which we found really helpful. I’d happily use them again.

Excellent professional service from the start to finish!

Right from the first time I went in to see Maria at the Walthamstow branch where she is the manager was very friendly, polite and professional, she came to value my property and left me to make my decision without any pressure.I decided that Douglas Allen would be best to market my property because of their professionalism, write up and photos, the house I had already seen online was also listed with them and I said to Maria right from the start that I had my heart set on that house.The house was going through probate but Maria kept me up to date with how that was proceeding, and said she would do all she could to get me that house, and she stuck to her word which i appreciate.As well as Maria, Ben and Scott, were also friendly and professional whenever I went into Douglas Allen and when they came to my house to do viewings. I have also dealt with Laura and Andrew on a regular basis who have also been very professional and helpful at all times.Its all in the final stages now and i am very happy with the service received.Thank you, Regards Danny

Buying a property can be a very stressful time, but Douglass Allen made it a seamless process thanks to Michael from their Walthamstow branch. Michael is incredibly, helpful but also very personable. Whether we had questions or concerns he was available to answer our questions and support us through the process.

The process of purchasing through Douglas Allen literally couldn’t have gone smoother. Of all the estate agents I’ve had dealings with over the years, this was by far the most positive. Maria, Tai, Ella & Alisha couldn’t have been more helpful. Would highly recommend their services as a buyer, and assume the same for the vendor as the process was very slick. Thanks again guys, you really went the extra mile!

It was going so well until it wasn’t

It was going so well until it wasn’t. I signed the contract in November 2020 & once I had reviewed the estate agency costs & the legal fees. I was told I would also have to pay a refundable £25 deposit for the legal fees. The legal fees quoted on a Douglas Allen headed pamphlet was *£695 for a property selling at the price it did. The * referring to additional fees if it were leasehold etc. I was instead charged £775 basic, which I raised before completion & spent endless time ringing & chasing the branch staff about. Always being promised calls but aside from 1 instance which unfortunately went to voicemail I didn’t receive. I was told it could be resolved after completion & would not affect the completion & on the return of the branch manager that week it would all the resolved once & for all. The staff member working at the branch covering in her manager’s absence couldn’t grasp the situation & kept emailing my solicitor, confusing matters as it was Douglas Allen that quoted the fees & asked for the £25 deposit, rather than calling me back as promised by other staff, to discuss. She also had never heard of the £25 refundable fee. Thankfully despite no paperwork I was able to prove this transaction by contacting my bank & requesting the statement showing this payment. On the managers return I hoped it would all be wrapped up quickly. The manager has given me assurances & called when promised but now it has all gone dead. The manager has emailed twice this week asking if his managers have called me yet. Which they haven’t. There seems to be no way to contact customer services, only a central sales team. I have contacted the central sales team too, to escalate the situation & there is never a manager to hand. Any time you call the manager is in a meeting or out on a break. You are always told they will ask them to call you, it never happens though. Up until this point I had been impressed with Douglas Allen. Now, I wouldn’t use them ever again. It’s a headache no-one needs, less so when dealing with health issues, which the local branch are aware of. So disappointed.

I was not having much luck selling my property with another agent when I came across Ben from Douglas Allen when viewing a potential property to buy. I was immediately impressed by his professionalism and knowledge and ability to build a rapport with clients. I decided to switch agents after a consultation with Maria the branch manager and Douglas Allen lined viewings up almost immediately and I quickly found a buyer. Both Ben and Maria are helpful, cheerful and friendly. I strongly recommend Douglas Allen when choosing an agent!PositiveProfessionalism

We just wanted to say thank to Aseena for her help with finding us a new home. Aseena was really helpful and proactive in showing us suitable properties in the area. Also a thank you to Tanya who has really helped facilitate the purchase with the solicitors and mortgage broker. They have both made our purchase of a property with Douglas Allen an enjoyable one.
