A reasonable agency

This agency is reasonable: contracts are clear, they are helpful in resolving tenancy issues, and they are reluctant to perform maintenance works.

Terrifyingly bad estate agent - avoid at all cost

Horrifying experience with DJ Alexander. Unsurprising to see so many tribunal cases lodged against DJ Alexander. Customer service team was incredibly hard to get hold of and would avoid any written confirmations of telephone calls. If dealing with staff, make sure to do so via email to keep a record. No regard for tenants' safety when it comes to maintenance. Make sure to request a copy of all safety certificates when moving into the property.

Because they push you to do something that you don't want to, you don't need to, you don't have to. Signing up to Goodlord is one example. And they are not listening....

Some reflections

Tenants are treated badly, landlords are pandered to. DJA pressures landlords into raising rent, and plays innocent in the process. 'Customers' is strong word - tenants are not customers, unless you operating under a 'customer is always wrong' premise. I consider myself a zen, calm person yet somehow, dealing with real estate agents as a tenant elicits some kind of deep rage that I am yet to experience with any other sector. Perhaps non-coincidently, many people I know feel the same way. Hope you can find a way to remedy this one day.

Can't imagine renting with anyone else

Somehow, it took me until my 30s to rent directly via an agency. After all the horror stories, I'd been nervous, especially at a time when there's a rental shortage, but DJ put my mind totally at ease. Throughout my tenancy (a PRT two years and counting), they've been professional, easy to contact and very responsive. In addition, they've offered help with small issues in the flat and been very on top of liaising with the landlord for bigger ones. When my former flatmate and I were at loggerheads, they were incredibly objective, fair and professional, going above and beyond to help us resolve the matter without favouring one or the other. It doesn't hurt that they're friendly and easy to talk to, either. They don't make you feel like a number. If ever I leave this flat, I will absolutely look for a new place via DJ. I can't imagine going anywhere else when their people are consistently brilliant. A big thank you to all those who have been involved in my tenancy so far, with a special shout-out to Taylor, Giulia, Maisie, Dan, Martyna (no longer there but an absolute gem) and Mark in maintenance.

Landlords beware!

I used DJAlexander for several years without much issue. Unfortunately, they have implemented a poorly designed IT system and given up on having individuals being responsible for different properties. I used to be able to speak directly with one person for anything that was needed to be done. They would then relay it to the relevant team. As far as I was concerned, that service is what I was paying for. More recently things changed and got to the point where I found it impossible to work with them. I was having to speak to a dozen different people over several months to get simple jobs (PAT Testing, EICR, GSI etc) completed. I cannot stress enough how bad things have gotten from a landlords point of view. I wasn't receiving messages from my tenants about issues that needed urgent attention until weeks after the issue arose. One tenant lived with a broken washing machine in her living room for nearly 18 months because DJA messed up the collection of it on several occasions.Basically, they are now pretty hopeless and I advise you steer clear!

Application Process

Asif Mohammed was incredibly helpful in pushing our application for a flat through. Additionally, he helped arrange an ideal move-in date as both of us are away for the coming weeks. The communication during the viewing and application process made the ordeal of trying to rent in this city far easier.

Natalie from DJ Alexander

DJ Alexander took over as the property company for my flat a couple of years ago and I was a little nervous as I didn’t know the company however they’ve been brilliant. The system for reporting any issues in the property has been a revelation it’s so easy to use and requests have been dealt with promptly except one occasion and when I called to ask what was happening I spoke with Natalie who was brilliant. She got someone out quickly to look at the issue reported and it was promptly fixed. I had another telephone exchange with her recently by chance about something unrelated and she was just so friendly but also professional and so knowledgeable about the reason for my call. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Terrible viewing/scheduling system.

Terrible viewing/scheduling system.I cannot get a viewing with them, I've set up a script to verify their new listings everywhere every minute, and I apply for viewings the minute properties come out in the market, but somehow the viewings slots are always full. No other letting agent has this problem.
