I would like to just comment on how very helpful Jess at the Chingford Branch has been. Nothing is too much trouble for her. She helped me secure my (potential) dream house when other estate agents failed, just when I thought all was lost she came up trumps. Thanks so very much Jess! A credit to the company!

TrustpilotDouglas Allen in East Ham fraudulent sale on 8 Victoria Avenue and 41 Burges road
Douglas Allen in East Ham is terrible. Member of staff Hassan wasted my 6 months and begged me to give him multiple online false reviews. 41 burgers road I made an offer of 500k but he said vendor refused. After he has checked my deposit funds and my mortgage offer was ready but he still forced me to use he’s broker Mr Faisal Noor in East Ham branch. He made me resubmit all my documents with he’s broker made me waste all that time. I thought to my self long as I get the property 41 Burges road for 500k Ill go threw the hassle again and let the East Ham branch make a bit of money on mortgage sale. But after all that hard work Hassan sells the property 41 burges road for 500k to some one els on normal mortgage sale. I strongly believe he has sold the property to he’s close person. Then he has promised me I’m on the priority list in East Ham branch soon as a property comes in my requirement he will be in touch. But again another property came on the market 8 Victoria Avenue which the property is worth 500k but he sells this property not on cash not on auction but again on a normal mortgage sale under value for 415k to he’s family member. That property was never advertised to public only time he put it up in right move wen it was marked sold. So he has fraudulently stole 85k of this property. They have all of my documents in file this property should’ve been sold to me after what he done on the sale on 41 burges road. Wen I asked him all this he didn’t like it. So I’m taking them to court. 8 Victoria Avenue should’ve been sold to me. Guys be careful of this Douglas Allen East Ham branch they take customer all documentation of funds and then ignore and try’s to sell the rubbish property. All the good profitable ones they sell it to there friends and family.

The whole system moved very quickly and without any hiccups at all. Natasha Mercieca was instrumental in all of this coming together and I have to say that I thought her whole effort was absolutely first class!! Natasha kept on top of everything and also kept everyone updated on a regular basis. First class job from Natasha!!

Even thought we didn't end up buying through them, they were very helpful throughout. Aseena was extremely helpful and hardworking, constantly informing me of new properties and trying to find what we wanted. As I said we didn't buy through them so can not comment on that process but through our search process it was very good

Branch Manger Robin was excellent in dealing with queries. He was always accessible. In his absence there was more than one person in the office who talks enthusiastically and with knowledge about the property. Level of service provided was beyond of my expectation.

Dear Gary, It is always a pleasure to see that our sales progression team are keeping the clients fully updated and as you say helping them through what can be a stressful time.

Our aim is always to ensure that the service level we offer is not like many agents until you agree a sale, it's right through until the day of completion.

Two months later than we expected we finally "exchanged contracts" yesterday. Thanks to Nicolle Eustration and her hard work keeping everyone in the chain informed and chasing problems until they were resolved.

Dear Ms Davenport,Thank you very much for your feedback regarding Nicolle. Very few estate agents have Sales Progressors to do what Nicolle does in keeping on top of sales once they have been agreed and their customers are all the poorer for it. Nicolle often goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure every customer buying or selling through Douglas Allen moves in the most stress-free manner possible and she will be delighted to see her efforts have been recognised in your review.I wish you much happiness in your new home.Regards, Jon Holden, Managing Director, Douglas Allen
