Neil Douglas was built to provide a more satisfying experience for those needing help and advice in managing their properties.

Founded in 2006, we have built a legacy in property management, growing a diverse portfolio of clients through client recommendations and a staunch reputation across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and North-West London. Now a team of 25 and growing, we have expanded our portfolio to over 100 clients through developing trusted, long-term working partnerships with leaseholders and directors of Residents Management Companies.

At Neil Douglas, we do things a little differently. We believe that property owners - not freeholders, or developers - should oversee the management of shared areas and be empowered to make their own decisions with the guidance of their Residents Management Company. We think creatively and offer up choices that other agents may not, helping clients see exactly what the best decision could be for them.

We believe in working in partnership with our clients, sharing our knowledge and experience to help them make informed decisions about the property with mutual understanding. Collaboration is at the core of everything we do and we filter this through every channel of our business, creating open working relationships built on regular communication, clear information and a bottom-line of trust.
