Having just completed the sale of a property in Redbridge via Douglas Allen in Barkingside all I can say is Use this agent as they are superb . They have a really innovative scheme called sale by tender Whereby they put my property in an auction style scenario with a closing date for buyers to make offers by, the other great part was they charged me less than £200 to sell the house as the buyer paid my fee instead of me. When Les first offered me this method I must admit to bring a tad sceptical as it was unheard of he was very persuasive and talked me into doing it this way and I'm delighted I did as I got an excellent price and paid next to nothing to sell . I spoke with Abbots and Haart before I had DA round but as soon as Les showed me his marketing methods I was sold on this company he was also very confident and generally stood out as someone I wanted to do business with. If you are selling in the Redbridge area you would be crazy not to use Douglas Allen and their tender scheme

Jun 24, 2013Thank you very much for your glowing review of Douglas Allen and in particuilar our excellent tender scheme. I am sure their are plenty of other sellers who would love to sell their property for just £180 and hopefully reading a review such as yours will make them see that this is an excellent way of maximising the value of their property.

The team at Barkingside branch of Douglas Allen are ok, but unfortunately they recommended JS Law for the conveyancing of the sale and purchase of our properties, and JS Law are completely incompetent. For that reason I have to give Douglas Allen 1/5. We were overcharged on multiple occasions, lied ... Read Full Review
Did not seem to work particularly hard for what we paid. Had multiple quotes from different firms before property went to market, and Douglas Allen were towards the most expensive.
