TrustpilotWe would recommend Douglas Allen
From beginning to end Douglas Allen were a great agent to sell our property with. Stevens valuation helped us achieve a sale value in excess of £100,000 above a previous agents valuation 2 months earlier. Steven & Ash were always there to support us if needed and they never failed to return telephone calls. Thanks for all your support.

TrustpilotWoodford Green - Katie Battleday
The team in Woodford green, especially Andy and Katie have been very helpful with assisting me in looking for my first residential mortgage. Katie in particular has shown very good customer interaction skills and has not hesitated to contact me and advise me when appropriate. Above all, a level of trust has been established with her, which in my experience is not often between agent and buyer.

I had an initial meeting with Andy Dumas and he managed my expectations in terms of a likely selling price and advised me accordingly.He arranged an open day and from that two offers were received - this was all within 7 days of the property going on the market.I have received very good service and would recommend Andy to anyone else selling a property.

TrustpilotTop Service from Douglas Allen Maureen Grey at the East Ham Branch
It was a difficult period selling my father's property as his health was deteriorating quite rapidly. Maureen Grey the Senior Branch Manager at Douglas Allen East Ham Branch was most helpful and key to the sale of the property. Maureen would always up date me and even contact myself out of her normal office hours to provide updates and to enquire as to my father's health. In the end she got an offer for my father's property higher than the asking price and I can not thank her enough for her professionalism and assistance with the entire process. I wish her all the best in her future and will always remember the top quality service she provided my entire family.

Dear Kirk, Thank you for your feedback on Dan our Mortgage Advisor at Chadwell Heath, as you say it is key that we listen to exactly what the client needs and help them from the initial meeting right through until your mortgage offer completes, having not only Dan but his back up assistant will certainly ensure that you are given the best possible advice but everything is then processed as soon as possible to help you move on.I like you are pleased that Dan was recommended to you and we look forward to helping you and anyone else you know for many years to come.Kind regardsPaul Ingleton - Associate Operations Director

TrustpilotGreat service
This is our second time using the Douglas Allen team in Walthamstow. After buying our first property though them we have now sold a property with them as well. Maria was a friendly and approachable first contact discussing all then ins and outs of selling, most importantly she was honest and transparent about the whole process. Always able to answer any questions we had, and steered us through to completion. She also gave great advice on our search for a new home. Her team assisted us with chasing up the sale of our property and Ella was brilliant when time became a factor for us. I’d be entirely confidant at recommending Maria and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

TrustpilotThe service provided was abysmal
The service provided was abysmal, although Lucy was very hands on and helpful she was failed by her colleagues. Information provided to other agents were innaccurate and this was very costly to us. We had to constantly contact the office for the latest information, we were rarely provided with any updates on the sale.
John · 1 October 2021
Agent replied · 22 November 2024
Dear JohnThank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and for your kind words regarding Lucy. Customer Service is of paramount importance to Douglas Allen and it is therefore disappointing to read some of your comments. When a sale is progressing through the conveyancing process we would expect our staff to be in touch with updates however as the conveyancing process is undertaken by the acting legal representatives, we are limited as to how much we can do during the time. We also understand that your chain was a lengthy one which can affect the quality of the information relayed due to the number of third parties involved. We are pleased that your sale has completed and would like to wish you the best for the future.Should you wish to discuss your feedback in further detail, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Relations department on 01702 540802 or at customer.relations@arunestates.co.uk. Thank you. Kind regardsDouglas Allen
