I had an estate agent who overvalued my home, bringing in the wrong viewers. It wasn't selling. They then stoped actively promoting my house and just waited for someone to call. This went on for months. I then swapped to Douglas Allen and had a completely different experience. They got more... Read Full Review

Having taken 7 months to close on a one bedroom apartment that I had empty I lost a lot of money and time. Nobody in the branch or the legal team they recommend seemed to know what they were doing. Only when I appointed a new agent did they exchange contracts within hours. 7 months plus to close ... Read Full Review
Not at all worth the stress.

When we decided to put our house on the market we knew that finding a buyer for our property may take some time due to the fact the house was on a main road. Despite the location Alison managed to generate a lot of interest in our property and secured a number of offers in a relatively short space ... Read Full Review

We think the best part to help us move was the fact that the team at Douglas Allen were always there to help and advise us. We mainly dealt with Alison Smith who was excellent, but if she was not around the other team members were there to help. We could always call the office to speak to Marc,... Read Full Review

I want to thank Marc and his team especially Alison. Between them they made this so easy for us to get our dream move. We had been on the market with one on the cheap agents in the high street because we thought we would save money. What a major mistake that was. After 4 months we had one low... Read Full Review

I had to sell my elderly father's home and I live over 50 miles from where his house was. Jonjo arranged everything for me from arranging for the photographs to be taken to showing prospective buyers round. The house was for sale during the winter months and he went out of his way to keep a check... Read Full Review

[[EDIT ORIGINAL START]] We were on the market with Stevenette who were nice but couldn't sell our property. We meet with Marc and he agreed to put our home on at the same price and felt confident this was the right price. We had new photos done and their photograper was very genuine and gave us...

Whether you are a buyer or a seller I recommend you think twice before deciding to work with Douglas Allen. We're a buyer with no chain and made the first offer on a property with Douglas Allen Epping which was rejected. Which was fine as it was a first offer. We told the agent we were very keen ...
