We wanted to express our appreciation for the property manager Assif Mohammad at the Edinburgh branch.He was approachable and professional during viewing, and went above and beyond to assist us to secure a flat to rent and ensure that it would be in excellent condition before we moved in.Thanks Assif!
Thanks for the great review. I will pass this onto the team.

TrustpilotTenancy process with Carol
We were taken through the process by Carol. She was really helpful, friendly and patient with every step and helped us secure our tenancy despite our very short deadline and lots of things to get done. She accommodated me and my flatmate individually based on the fact I worked on site where I can’t answer calls and my flatmate wfh. Thank you for making the process a lot easier and less stressful than I’d anticipated.
Thank you, Maryam, for this excellent review. We will pass this onto Carol and the Team.

TrustpilotDJA - not property management, a postbox service at best!
DJA do not provide a property management service to landlords. They are not proactive, the service in both Aberdeen and Edinburgh is severely lacking control and understanding. It is no more than a postbox service expecting landlords to fill the gaps and pay!
Dear Gary, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to look into any issues or queries you may have. Please feel free to contact us directly at customerservice@djalexander.co.uk if you would like us to look into anything further or assist. Kind regards, DJ Alexander Customer Service

TrustpilotDisappointing maintenance response to issues
The maintenance team consistently downplays reported issues, often advising us to "adjust and wait," which can lead to delays of a year or more before anything is resolved, if at all. Many times, we are left to handle repairs on our own due to the lack of support. Additionally, I have concerns about whether these issues are even communicated to the landlord, and their contact information that was not provided in the rental agreement, makes it seem questionable.
Thanks for the great review and we are happy to help. I will make sure to pass this back onto the team

TrustpilotRobyn Murdie is a Star!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Robyn as my real estate agent while being shortlisted for a property in the Meadows. Although the tenancy negotiations ultimately fell through, Robyn's dedication and exceptional customer service stood out. Despite not being obligated to, she tirelessly went back and forth between the landlord and me, trying to make things work. I've never encountered such outstanding service in the real estate industry before. DJ Alexander is truly fortunate to have an employee like Robyn on their team.
Thank you, Shoaib, for this excellent review. We will pass this onto Robyn and the Team.

TrustpilotGood Letting Agency as a tenant
I have been a tenant of DJ Alexander at the same property for about 3 years. I have been a happy tenant, with any issues I have brought up being resolved in a fast manner, although there haven’t been many. I recently had an inspection with Jenn, who was great at answering any questions about the upkeep of the property, and helpful about things we needed to make sure we were doing g
Thank you, Samuel, for this excellent review. We will pass this onto Jenn and the Team.

TrustpilotWe are currently renting from DJ…
We are currently renting from DJ Alexander for the past 1,5 years and now unfortunately, need to look for a new property as our landlords are selling the flat we are currently living in. We are very happy with the agency, the maintenance team was always very nice and helpful and if there were any problems or delays it was never because of them, but 3rd party contractors etc... Even today, when I called to book a viewing Hannah B was a great help, she understood our situation and kindly helped us with booking a new flat viewing. Thank you!
Thank you, for this excellent review. We will pass this onto Hannah and the Team.

TrustpilotAvoid! Avoid! Avoid!
DJ Alexander are the epitome of the word abysmal.The parting gift was their attempt to deprive us of our deposit. The landlord initially tried to withhold it almost entirely as he didn't feel we'd painted to professional standard.In actuality, they'd tried to push back the move in date twice at the last minute so we had to deep clean and redecorate the flat ourselves (with permission) as the landlord didn't want to pay for it to be properly done.Upon moving out, DJ Alexander suggested if we didn't take the amount of the deposit that wasn't withheld we could lose the sum it in its entirety and would be subject to months of delay.This is entirely false, tenants are entitled to the non-disputed amount instantly and contesting the amount doesn't delay this.DJ Alexander (who should be neutral) attempted to bully us into accepting the lower amount. Many tenants will be in a position where they need money to move so this intimidation and lies will likely lead to them accepting a lower return of the deposit or simply unaware of deposit law.To avoid any doubt, the deposit fully belongs to the tenants unless the landlord can prove otherwise. DJ Alexander (on behalf of the landlord) also tried to charge us for items missing, despite us previously having submitted proof that we had permission to dispose of these. These items were mouldy, damp and disgusting and would have been a health concern to have in our home.When our rent rose DJ Alexander even went to the effort to tell us how generous the landlord was to raise the rent by a certain amount. At this time there were rent controls and the rent was actually raised to the maximum permitted to the exact penny. DJ Alexander, gave us a checklist for moving out and this contrasted greatly to the condition we moved in. Despite this, the person completing the checkout inspection listed items as excellent condition and the only issues were the painting that the landlord wouldn't pay a professional to do and we carried out at our own expense. Likewise, we had to wait several weeks for hot water because the landlord went in circles getting quotes from different companies to scrimp on the cost of the worn out boiler. No discount or help was give. Despite these supposed issues, the property was for rent at around £500 more than we were paying when chose to move. One other lowlight was their changing our rent day forward. That's okay but charging us two payments in one month to facilitate this was absoltely not. In the end, we recouped almost all of our deposit following our contesting the decision.
