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.

Professional, honest and efficient

Would like to say a huge thank you to Douglas Allen and especially Andrew Bilby for helping with the purchase of our new property. The service and assistance we received as first time buyers was good and helped ease any nerves in the process. Would definitely recommend them in the future.

Buying and selling with Douglas Allen

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.

Tied me into a 5 month contract to sell my property, which I agreed to because they claimed to have buyers in line waiting to buy my property because they missed out on something identical nearby. This was not true. They are also massively more expensive than the competition

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

Well done Ray and Wanstead Douglas Allen

We highly recommend Ray and his team at Wanstead Douglas Allen. He and his team have managed to get us our forever home, and we will always be so grateful. He helped sell our home in record time, and the house we purchased was also represented by Wanstead Douglas Allen. It went smoothly with very little hiccups. We are very pleased. Thank you Douglas Allen.

Paris Hall. Chadwell Heath Lettings.

Couldn't of asked for a better service from Paris throughout my period of dealing with her. She was attentive to our needs and got the job done of getting us into our new home with the minimum of stress. I cannot recommend Chadwell Heath Lettings and Paris Hall enough.

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.

Thank you

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.

I'd higly recommend Douglas Allen

I'd higly recommend Douglas Allen, Walthamstow for anyone looking to buy. Our agent, Ben Ryan was helpful, direct, answered our questions clearly, and made the offer and negotiation process smooth. There was consistent good communication right the way through, even over the busy Christmas period.
