My wife and I bought our first house through the agency and were both impressed by the high quality customer service, knowledgeable and friendly staff and we both felt well looked after during what could have been a stressful experience.
Howard and his team were always happy to help and answer any questions that we had.
Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality
Unprofessional (was not at property at appointment time, in fact had gone back to office, despite having changed time while I was en-route), ill-informed (professed to be unaware of vital planning application), condescending attitude from Howard Douglas when I made a complaint. Go elsewhere!

We sold our mothers house through Howard Douglas and they were brilliant. I can't thank them enough for their commitment. All through the pandemic they escorted prospective purchasers even though my mother could not. They were very professional and kept in regular contact. All the staff are lovely and very helpful. I cannot recommend them enough. Sale professionally concluded. Thank you.

Deeply unpleasant experience with a person called Natalie at this agency – was rude and dismissive when I asked for clarification regarding a property, and then told me there was no point in applying for any properties with Howard Douglas. Very, very strange way of treating people. Howard Douglas clearly only care about landlords so I would suggest avoiding if you are looking to rent – the irony being that I am looking to rent in the short to medium term before buying. Glad to know to avoid this agency.

Iv been into the agent a few time’s and have always felt I was bothering them by asking questions.
On a recent occasion I had a viewing booked for one of their properties, after driving 40 minutes to the appointment the agent was a no show I rang the office to be told “Sorry the property has been let, we tried to call you a few hours ago”.
This was a blatant lie as I had no missed calls or any voicemails, plus when organising the viewing I didn’t leave my number as they didn’t ask (I had to promt the lady to even take my name).
The property was only a short walk from the office so
