Edinburgh sales

I have sold 4 properties in the last year and I have had a fantastic experience lead by Yasser Albassam and the team at DJ. He offered good advice and negotiated well when needed. I am some distance away and he organised all work that was required prior to marketing quickly and at a good price. Great experience, I would recommend DJ to anyone wanting to sell.

I had a very positive experience dealing with Kaylee at DJ Alexander Edinburgh during the end of my tenancy. She was extremely helpful, responsive and professional throughout the process.

Friendly, helpful and professional…

From first engagement and interactions with DJ Alexander, I was confident they were the best choice for me when looking to sell. The experience throughout was thorough, quick, professional and I’d highly recommend. Sarah McIntyre and Sara Rankin were extremely helpful and Sarah went above and beyond whilst I was on holiday towards the end of the sale.

Kieran Mooney was professional and helpful.

Kieran Mooney was highly competent, professional in manner, courteous and helpful. He was kind and helpful at the viewing appointment, answering all of my questions clearly. As this was my first time applying for rental accommodation in the UK, I very much appreciated Kieran’s clear and timely communication. His guidance and thoroughness made this process much less complicated and therefore less stressful! I would highly recommend DJ Alexander and Kieran Mooney to others!

All in all, a very good service.

We have been using DJ Alexander for about 2 to 3 years now to manage our rental properties in Aberdeen, after they bought out our previous management company.

I’ve been a tenant with DJ Alexander…

I’ve been a tenant with DJ Alexander for nearly 5 years and they’ve taken great care of me! After unfortunately having to leave my current flat due to my landlord moving in, DJ have been amazing at helping me find a new place to move. Taylor was fantastic at helping me look for new places and arranging any paperwork or viewings and Sadie was amazing when it came to keeping me right on the reference checks and answering any questions I had.They both made what could have been a stressful experience way more straightforward and I’m excited to move into my new flat!

The staff were very helpful and…

The staff were very helpful and knowledgable. I enjoyed the viewing, Galina was super helpful and efficient. Furthermore, Laura looked after our onboarding process and this was also a positive experience: very quick responses, helpfulness and clear instructions, which was great. We were regularly updated on progress, online platforms seemed easy to use, just spot on. Thanks!

Amazingly professional Letting Agents

Brilliant team at DJ Alexander. They genuinely care about the tenants. They were very quick in responding and engaging with landlord about any of the issues I had reported during my tenancy. Johan Ross has been very patiently answering all my queries during my end of tenancy process. He helped me understand the way things are settled and was very helpful throughout.

Good & Bad

I Have had both, good and bad experiences with DJ Alexander. When I first moved in, that was last Feb'22 the heater was not working due to which I could not move in for a week despite paying the rent. This should have been checked before renting out the property. It was very difficult to reach out to them as they were on leave or not active. The furniture in the living room is not in great condition. Seems like the previous tenant had a cat, which was not addressed. Very basic and outdated furnitures and appliances. I would really appreciate it if this was considered and discussed with the landlord. However, I have found a very good and active response lately as I had requested for change of tenancy agreement. The process was smooth and clear and Anita was a great help. However, I have requested a few repairs and hoping to get it fixed at a reasonable time. I will update my review post this.

Efficient rental process

We have been trying to find a property to rent to relocate to Edinburgh.Our experience with DJ Alexander was great! Once the landlord accepted our application it was a quick, seamless process! The Goodlord software they use is user-friendly and makes the process so quick. We uploaded all our info and it was all processed and the contract signed in a matter of hours! I was impressed with the speediness. Special thanks to Sandi Whyte and Galina Webster who were really helpful and quick to reply.

Attentive Staff

I highly recommend DJ Alexander. Both Sarah McIntyre and Abby Grigg were very attentive throughout the sale of my flat. As this was my first time selling they were so wonderful and helpful with any questions and talked me through the process step by step. Their guidance and advice was much appreciated.

Viewing with Cameron Lindsay

Viewed a property with Cameron Lindsay who was extremely helpful and reassuring. We were quickly able to discern attributes of the property we had questions about and thanks to his help made a decision along with the sending of the application to the Landlord with ease. Thank you to Cameron and the agency!

Great Service

We have just moved to Edinburgh and in a desperate need of an apartment. After several viewings with no success, DJ Alexander came to the rescue! Natalia was extremely helpful and understanding. She showed great professionalism during the viewing and the application process. She really made the experience a smooth and easy one. My son and I are very grateful and settling well.

Brilliant Viewing Experience with Gemma-Louise

We had a viewing for a property in Comely bank with Gemma-Louise yesterday and I cannot emphasise enough how pleased we were with the experience. Gemma took the time to answer all our queries and offer us support in the often-stressful renting process. Thanks to Gemma we absolutely will be using DJ-Alexander to try source our flat. -Chloe and Sophie

Excellent D J Alexander Employee

I highly praise/ recommend and indeed thank Norman MacLean, Maintenance Co-Ordinator at D J Alexander, Edinburgh for an excellent Firstclass service to us, as Landlords. Since 7 October 2022 to date, Norman has been helping us manage maintenance issue which is still ongoing (not due to Norman). Norman has expressed a customer service experience second to none. He has shown extremely high standards of professionalism in all areas, commitment, reliability, mannerly, polite, attention to detail, responding promptly, taking the time to listen to your needs, (I have found the ability to listen quality with most DJ Alexander's employees both in Edinburgh and Glasgow) this quality is sadly lacking in these modern times and is an area in which companies in general should be taking on board. Taking the time to listen to their clients' needs, communication is key, without clients' there is no business. Norman absorbs information, both verbal and written very well and keeps his manager informed with progress/situation. The list is endless. I did say to Norman's Manager that in all my working years, (I am a senior lady) I have found Norman to be one of the best (if not the best) that I have had the pleasure to deal with. Keep up your excellent work standards Norman, long may it continue. DJ Alexander you have won a watch with Norman, such a committed team member who has added not only value to your organisation he is also a credit to your organisation too! Thank You

Absolutely useless estate agency

Absolutely useless estate agency. Have had 4 separate flat viewings cancelled at short notice (most of them on the day of the viewing) with no explanation whatsoever. For the one viewing that they didn't cancel the flat was an absolute tip, previous tenants had left it in a horrible state (not DJ Alexander's fault, granted) but they hadn't even bothered to clean it before holding viewings. The place stank of smoke, empty bottles everywhere and a large burn mark on the bedroom wall. When I commented on the state of the flat and asked about having the burn mark painted before moving in the agent told me "not to be too picky" and not to make too many demands as someone else would take it. They are a bunch of jokers who provide a terrible service and only get away with it because of how desperate the housing crisis in Edinburgh is. I would say avoid at all costs, but given the market I know many people simply won't have the choice

very grateful for the help received

Although it took a while to secure a flat in a difficult market, the team at DJ Alexander were extremely helpful in a time that was becoming increasingly stressful. We were very impressed by the professionalism and speed at which Natalie operated, and her colleague Paul was a pleasure to deal with when viewing and eventually securing our property. It my take a while, but if you are persistent DJ Alexander will be sure to put you in a beautiful flat in a prime location. Very pleased!

Brilliant estate agents

Brilliant estate agents. It was easy and quick to find a rental property when moving from Manchester to Edinburgh. Ryan Cochrane was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process. He listened to our needs and concerns and came up with the perfect fit for us. Can't recommend him and DJ Alexander enough.

Edinburgh Viewing

Thanks to Kieran for being really helpful during my viewing. He was able to answer all my questions and was very knowledgable and professional. It been a really stressful couple of week trying to secure a property and the time between the viewing, submitting my application, passing reference checks via goodlord, and securing the property was extremely fast. Many thanks.

From initial viewing to moving in.

The whole process of finding a new flat has been very organised and professionally handled. From viewing the property to now moving in, every step has been made easy.I have to give a special mention to Ryan Cochrane who showed me round the property initially and also got me moved in today. His approach is very friendly and welcoming and he has definitely made me feel very at ease and in safe hands through the process.

Guilia Ceccarelli - What an agent!

What an agent! The renting market in Edinburgh has been bananas over the past few months my housemate and I have been looking until we came across Giulia Ceccarelli. I was unsuccessful on an application to a property but instead of just forgetting about me, she did everything afterwards to help us secure a property and did it with genuine compassion. Needless to say, she helped us find a property that ticked all our boxes and without her help I'm sure we would still be without a home - so thank you!

A Criminally Unprofessional Letting Agent

I had an abysmal experience with DJ Alexander. I rented a property via them for three years as a student. During this time there were countless issues at the property, absolutely none of which were attended to in good time, or by the timeframe given on our contract. As an example, our kitchen flooded due to a DJA-contracted plumber improperly installing a dishwasher. We notified them of the issue immediately, and it was not attended to for over a week. This was an issue that has likely caused structural damage to the house, yet DJA did nothing about it. As another, even more extreme example, a suspended kitchen cupboard collapsed due to improper fitment (proven by an independent joiner's review), and caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to my personal property, and harmed me. DJA are responsible for upkeep of the property, and yet refused to take any responsibility. I ended up successfully suing the landlord, and DJA were continually opaque about facilitating communication between myself and this landlord.There were genuinely countless more examples of this over our three year tenancy.My experience with DJ Alexander was, in short, criminally unprofessional. Do not use this letting agent.
