GoogleI have given James Alexander an excellent scoring as the service I received was excellent and fully met my needs and expectations.
Despite the difficulties with Brexit and Covid 19, the team worked seamlessly to source serious potential buyers for my home. I was very surprised that within days of marketing my property people were queuing to view and offers started to be received.
My transaction was managed in a professional, personal and efficient way leading to completion of my sale within two months from receipt of offer. My main contacts were Ewa and Caroline who kept me updated but members within the team were also helpful throughout.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWe recently bought our house through James Alexander and had a truly exceptional experience. We dealt exclusively with Jack who, from the first visit through to completion, went above and beyond to support us. Jack had excellent knowledge of the local area and was always willing to provide advice and guidance. As first time buyers we could not have expected more, and Jack enabled us to feel at ease with the process. We will 100% be looking to use their services if we sell in the future! Thank you!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleWe were so glad to be purchasing a house that was on the market with James Alexander - I genuinely don’t think we would have made it without the wonderful help and assistance given by Ken and Caroline.
We were impressed when we viewed properties initially as in comparison to other local agents, Ken and Caroline seemed knowledgeable on the local area and just genuine people who cared about the home we were looking to purchase (as well as showing care and respect for the housing they were showing us around).
As first time buyers we were new to everything and felt like we were muddling our way through the process (rather slowly given the stamp duty holiday too). However Ken and Caroline really helped us along and made the process as smooth and simple as possible. They were clear and communicative, always giving us regular updates and information - giving us such peace of mind and confidence on such a significant purchase.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again and we’ve already spoken about how we would definitely choose James Alexander when we sell in years to come!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWe used them when we bought the house almost 5 years ago and were very happy to use them again this time! We worked mostly with Caroline although with some input from Ewa and Ken - they were very good at keeping things moving, representing our interests and being very clear about the whole process (as this was only our second sale/purchase and we appreciated the guidance). Would fully recommend!

GoogleKen and Caroline were a dream to deal with. Having previously dealt with large chain estate agents who employ slimey salesmen with no knowledge of the property market it was a refreshing change to receive old school service and genuine local knowledge.
They gave us clear and fair advice on pricing and the property sold quickly at asking price. Their rates were very reasonable too.
Highly recommended.

GoogleDodgy outfit
1) They disclose highest bid to other bidders during a seal bid process.
**EDIT** may not have been officially called a seal bid process, but buyers were told to submit the best and final offers buy a particular time. Through the final day members of your office called round disclosing the highest bid. Surely not in the sprit of things?
2) Once seal bid process deadline past, wait 3 days before telling people who has won? even though all bidders were previously qualified. Surely you tell people immediately after the deadline? unless you are doing something dodgy
3) Fail to tell buyers over previously identified structural issues - wasting £000's. In the meantime they get a free professional report that the client pays for.
All in all, if you want a stress free clean purchase/sale. Don't use these guys as it seems as though they are involved in some unethical practices.

I am truly shocked by this allegation. We have no buyer ever registered with this name, we don't do sealed bids and are confused by who you are and indeed what you are talking about. If you have a complaint I would love to assist, in 25 years our company has never been called 'dodgy' if you are under a pseudonym, then please email me : ken@jamesalexander.com if you just lost out because someone made a higher offer, I'm afraid we work for the seller and always try to get the most for our clients but never unethically.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleIt was fantastic working with the James Alexander team. From the moment we first met them, they came across very different from other estate agents - take keen interest and time to make sure you achieve the best outcome for you. They are committed to the long run, which is very reassuring.
Once our property listing was live, the communication was great, and the team, notably Caroline, Jack and Ken, helped us find a suitable buyer and kept them well engaged throughout the process. Moreover, the team supported us with our onward chain.
We strongly recommend James Alexander.

GoogleI have been dealing with James Alexander Estate Agent in Norbury for over 4 years now. A really great independent house agent, the whole team in the office are helpful & personable, they know their stuff when it comes to local knowledge & the local property market.
I can highly recommend talking to them if you want to buy/sell/rent in the London SW16 / CR7 area.

GoogleOur family recently used James Alexander for a slightly complex executor sale of a property in Streatham. They used their considerable local knowledge in marketing the property at the optimum time resulting in a buyer almost immediately. They made the process simple for us and supported us fully throughout the sale. We would definitely recommend them.

GoogleWe successfully bought our house in Norbury through James Alexander back in 1996 so decided to sell it this year through the same agent. They helped us negotiate our way through all the hurdles associated with the move, of which there were many! Can recommend them as a competent team with thorough market knowledge and expertise.
