5 Mar 2025I am a landlord Alex Jones managed 2 properties for me. Alex Jones was doing full management for me at a cost of 7% of the rent. I used him from 2016 to 2021. I used him as he was recommended by my partner who was renting her old house. In total he found me 4 tenants. I left Alex Jones for a variety of reasons, in summary: Proper records were not kept; when handing over the documents after I left him, there were no digital files, no work receipts and no copies of IDs for the tenants, only a plastic bag with a few paper sheets inside and the keys. -He did not provide any evidence of tenant vetting or credit checks, resulting in two tenancies which caused a lot of damage and did not pay rent. (This was only saved by having a guarantor). One tenant was put in to a property who was unemployed, another did not pay for 12 months from moving in, another smashed the place up and was removed from the property by the police. The last tennant stored all the rubbish they had inside the property for 12 months, with rotting food, old nappies, which I then had to remove (no inspection visits). -Proper inventories were not taken prior to a tenancy it was a basic tick box exercise with no photos. -The properties were seldom visited for periodic inspections, or to inspect maintenance work which had been billed for. -The maintenance requests got more and more frequent and more and more expensive. Initially he would take money directly from the rent without even informing me that work had been carried out. I would only find out when viewing the monthly statement. -He did not provide evidence of maintenance work on the properties which was claimed to have been performed, and then would re-bill for the same work months later. The work which was performed was extremely poor and expensive. Including, but not limited to: A replacement boiler which was fitted without a filter which then failed due to a damaged pump, within a few months, costing a further 500 pounds, and could not be claimed on the guarantee due to improper installation. Pointing to the rear of the property which was never finished. Most importantly an EICR electrical safety certificate was billed for and paid for but the work was never actually carried out. When I found this out, 6 months later after chasing, his response was that the tradesman he had contracted had not performed the work, and “now it was my problem”, even though I had paid for it. So, he stole money from me, which was never returned. The communication is not very professional, the phone is never answered, and tenants are ignored. The company seems to have no knowledge at all, of property maintenance and problem resolution, and not a lot of interest. His communication with me in the end was extremely arrogant, rude, childish. Not professional at all. In the beginning when the business concentrated on rental properties, it provided a better service. But as the business has moved on it now seems to be trying to move towards a standard estate agency, where of course the fees are much higher for a lot less work. So, if you use this guy for property management you will end up doing most of it yourself anyway, so why pay him?

9 Sept 2025Really poor customer experience, will never use this estate agent again. Not sure who is writing the 5 star reviews, as I have had nothing but disappointment at every exchange.

1 Sept 2025Absolute shambles of a company. Had an appointment with Carl on Friday at 4pm, he called at 15:50 to say his car wouldn’t start. Fair enough happens to us all. Thing is in one sentence he’d just left his last client 10 mins ago and in the next sentence he’s at home because his neighbour is going to ... Read Full Review
