My husband and I cant thank Douglas Allen enough, every one was so helpful, I admit to finding the whole process a bit stressful, however with people such as the wonderful Chelsea Baldwin on your side things were a lot easier. Adam Jabbar, Jo Butler and Dave Tomlins were great as the sales team. Douglas Allen isn't the cheapest in the High St, I'm a firm believer you get what you pay for, the fee was money well spent.... Thank you all....!!!!

A massive thank you to Waqas and the team at Douglas Allen in Chadwell Heath - fantastic service delivered from the get go. As a first time buyer the support and detailed information I received was highly appreciated. He introduced me to the VIP home finder service and has kept in contact with me every week with updates and new properties that are coming onto the market, although I have not found the perfect home yet i would like to thank him for making my experience a pleasure, highly recommend.

I was recommended to use Ray at the Wanstead branch by a friend who had used him to sell their home. Ray has a excellent knowledge of the local area and knows the market very well. He is very flexible and worked around my schedule. Ray was very transparent about the overall costs etc. He was sure he could sell my property quickly for the price I wanted and he delivered as promised. The sales progressor Janine helped to get the sale to completion in 6 weeks. The service I received from Janine and Ray really showed me that all the agents are definitely not the same. These guys are not amateurs, they were worth every penny.

Having been at Douglas Allen for over 50 years between them their professionalism and skill has helped many people during this time and I am delighted that you have had the benefit of their experience now too through the result achieved on your behalf.On behalf of the whole Wanstead team, thank you for your custom.Kind regards,Jon Holden - Managing Director

Rude and pushy staff

Dealt with the Saturday team Spencer and Alastair today. Wasted my time in bringing me in to tell me someone had put in an offer of the property I was interested. Rude and Pushy overall wasn’t interesting in showing me property’s unless I went with their mortgage adviser.Think this reply is absolutely ridiculous. There was no need to liar in order to bring in to your office, how does this have a ‘friendly approach’ when your staff are blunt and rude? No other agencies needed to find out if I am in a strong position, as I already had a mortgage in principal set up. This just show how unprofessional and inexperienced your company is!!

This is a review more for the staff at the Wanstead branch which has now combined with Woodford branch. Ray was very friendly and courteous from the outset and good feedback throughout. A number of viewings were arranged considering difficult economic times. Always carried out by himself. Ray was contactable when needed. The actual sale in the end had its complications and delays and Ella (sales progressor) was excellent in relentlessly following/chasing up and keeping me updated. Much appreciated.

Thank you Khaleesha and the rest of the Woodford branch!

Bought our first property though them and they made the process very easy. If it wasn't for Khaleesha from their Woodford branch then we probably never would have gotten that property as she was very flexible in getting us a viewing so late on in the day! Khaleesha was very personable and knew a lot about the property and area. She also took time to get to know us and what we were looking for. We felt really lucky for her to handle our purchase.

Barkingside Branch

A big big thank you to Joe and his team at the Barkingside. We were desperate to find our dream house and were short for time. From the start to the finish, Joe and his team provided the best service to us. We were shown around different properties by the excellent Adbul who comes around so humble and we could see how much pride he takes in his job. Adbul immediately knew when we fell in love with a certain property and Douglas Allen made it their goal to make it our property!Joe is one of the most patient person we have met. He explained the procedure and was always there answering all our annoying questions.Within 3 months of viewing the property, we are now happy home owners in our new house!Thank you once again to Joe, Abdul, Faisal and co!

Woodford office

After 7 months without a real offer on my house sale I thought changing Estate agents would do little. Steve Ford, came, he saw, he sold! He came well prepared with all the information to back up his claims to make a sale and to make the very best representation of my property. The property photos or the board never got out, they sold it the same day.Steve has the backing of a good network and excellent team members - sales manager khaleesha Said-Loveday has been an excellent and diligent support throughout the process. Also a mention for Keith Langford for chasing up all parties during the process. Thanks to all and obviously recommend them.

Disgraceful Estate Agent with no shame

In April 2019 a house came up for Sale on Mortlake Road ilford. We went to view the house and absolutely loved it. However.....Douglas Allen ruined EVERYTHING. Because we had a buy to let mortgage we were advised by Nabeel one of the consultants there that due to the property having polystyrene ceilings we were unable to buy it as when it came to valuation it would be a nil valuation. What a lie! I was advised by other agents that that should not have been a reason for me to be turned down. I had everything they required to buy the house...I even used their Solicitor which I was advised by Ali another consultant at Douglas Allen that if I used their solicitor I would be in a better position to buy the house as the sale would go through easily if accepted. My elderly parents loved the house we even put the highest offer as was told by Ali but Nabeel turned us down. He made us run around and gave the house to someone else. I compaoned to them and their senior told me that as the other party had all documents acted 'swiftly' the house was given to them. That is a lie! Simply because on the first viewing as soon as we viewed the house that same day we put offer forward and got our stuff together. They really upset me and my elderly parents. They promise but do not deliver. A bunch of cowboys! We did EVERYTHING they had asked and they turned us down. I think they get joy out of making people run around. They should understand that buying a house is a stressful time and they should help people fulfill buy their dream home not play chess with human lifes!

Nabila · 14 July 2019

Agent replied · 22 October 2024

Dear Ms RamzanWe understand how disappointing it can be when an offer is declined, especially when you were clearly very keen on the property. We appreciate how stressful the buying process can be however the seller, on this occasion, had a number of offers to choose from and it was their decision which offer to accept based upon their own circumstances and wishes. We are sorry that you were upset by the experience and trust that you will appreciate our position. We sincerely hope that you find a property you like just as much, if not more.If you would like to discuss you experience, please do not hesitate to contact Customer Relations on 01702 540802 or email at customer.relations@arunestates.co.uk.

Thank you Keith.

Would just like to say a big thank you to Keith Langford the sales progresser for Douglas Allen. He made the whole selling and buying experience run so much smoother. We was in a chain of 6 propertys but Keith was on the ball the whole time keeping us informed as to what he had done and what the situation was with the entire chain. It was great knowing you could phone him about any concerns you might have and he would do his best to sort them out for you. I would recommend Douglas Allen and Keith to anyone who was thinking of selling their property. So a big thank you to you Keith and Douglas Allen.

Completion on my dream property in under 2 months

Speechless. Truly lost for words, after searching for property’s in barkingside for months with no luck, I found my dream property before it was even on rightmove thanks to Hasan he worked really close with myself to understand exactly what I needed and gave me a call as soon as he heard about the property coming onto the market. We viewed the same day however was spectacle as the property was going through there new modern auction, however immediately Zak& Hasan felt me at ease and explained the procedure. I was confident enough to put a large deposit before completion and now in under 2 months have completed. Hasan was very helpful throughout I am convinced I still wouldn’t have found a property if it wasn’t for him. Now I have begun moving in the property and I would highly recommend Douglas Allen Barkingside. Genuine estate agents

Wonderful service , stress free and no hassle . Hasan and Lisa were great ! Hasan did Sunday viewings for us frequently and also mentioned that Lisa the mortgage broker could save us money . Incredibly, Lisa saved us £150 a month for 20 years straight . A deal my previous broker would never have got . I would highly recommend speaking to Douglas Allen Hasan for your property search and also the mortgage broker Lisa.

Tanya Keene sales progressor, both professional and organised, thank you.

Tanya Keene, from Douglas Allen, sales progressor, is a very professional and proactive person who helped me with the sale of my mum's house sale. From the start she was in touch with me, updating me with the progress of the sale and also giving me good advice about things I needed to know, in order to manage the sale efficiently. As I hadn't sold a property before, it's good to know that there are nice people like Tanya, who give good honest advice to you with efficiency and professionalism. It can be a stressful job to do, when stepping in unknown territory, however Tanya made this seem like a smooth transition until the contract s were exchanged also supporting me even after this was done. I feel more people like her are needed in this world. Thank you to Tanya for all her help and advice
