Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone at Douglas SmartMove. I’d been trying to find a property to rent for a few months with no joy and was beginning to lose my mind and faith in the whole estate agents business. Such unprofessionalism and at times downright rude.
That is until I met the team at Douglas SmartMove. From the outset they were professional and upfront about the property I was interested in. (None of this oh if you want it you’ll probably have to bid higher if someone else is interested). Once I told them I was interested and needed to move quickly they went above and

I recently sold my property with Douglas Smartmove and was very impressed with the speedy and professional service that I received. They managed to find a buyer and negotiate the price that I wanted very soon after going on to the market, kept me updated throughout as to the progress of the sale and always answered any questions that I had. I would certainly recommend them to anyone wishing to sell their property.

I initially used Douglas Estate agents around six months ago. After my tenant (who had signed a twelve month contract) needed to vacate the property due to redundancy, Mary and her team worked extremely hard to find a suitable tenant whilst at the same time trying to cut the financial losses for everyone concerned.
I can’t sing their praises loudly enough.
After having bad experiences with young inexperienced people at other agents over a period of years, it has been an absolute pleasure to have had dealings with the above company.
Many thanks!

Hi have used Douglas Smartmove a few times now over the past few years. They have always been professional and communication has been good. This has been brought to the fore recently in the last house sale which the Covid pandemic and the lack of mortgage availability played havoc with. The house sale fell through several times through no ones fault but they continued to market the house and push the next sale never giving up, when at time I felt like doing so. Credit to them

Over the past 12 months our company has built a fantastic relationship with Douglas Smartmove estate agents. They have a have personal touch to what they do. The senior head Mary and her team go the extra mile in ensuring the customer experience is the best it can be. More recently, one of our properties (from Douglas) had a few internal issues due to general wear and tear. Within one hour, Douglas smart move sent our engineers and maintenance teams to address the issues. The service was professional, sincere and speedy and I honestly couldn’t believe how quickly they turned a stressful day into

Douglas Smartmove have been managing my property for several years now. This company is a five star service and I am very happy with the outcome of my properties being managed.
Part of the success of this is due to the fact the tenants are thoroughly checked out and vetted correctly. The professional service and documents put together is well prepared by their Legal Department.
I would highly recommend this company for the property management service not only only for their professionalism and experience but how thorough they are with all of the maintenance work as well.
