Chris was really excellent in facilitating a great sale of my flat. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He always gave me great advice on how to proceed as I am not in the UK at the moment so everything was done by emails and phone. He was cautious but confident in his opinions and obviously knows the market very well and how to market the property to get the best outcome. I would absoultly use him again if needed to....

Fee's were up front, open and transparent. Compared to other agents around, DJ Alexander are the most competitive in the business and are dedicated to your satisfaction and as such, can comfortably charge one of the cheapest fee's any prospective tenant could hope for.

Chris helped me to sell my flat in Q12017. I found him to be very helpful and always thinking of new ways to promote extra interest in my apartment to potential sellers. He also kept me up to date regularly so I was always aware of how things were going. I would certainly recommend DJ Alexander and Chris to a person selling their home or buying another....

Rude and incompetent staff. When reporting faults, would take at least three calls before anyone bothered to come out. Towards the end of my tenancy, they would arrive unnancouced to show potential tenants around. I work in a busy ward and was once called away to take an URGENT call. This was from an incredibly rude member of staff whom incorrectly accused me of not paying the rent that month. No apology at all when she realised her error. I twice asked where I was supposed to leave ...

Seriously stay clear of this letting agent. Absolutely beyond a joke. Our boiler broke on a Friday evening a few weeks ago. Called the emergency number and they sent out a contractor who could not fix it, no other number provided and we were left for 6 days and nights without heating or hot water. We stayed at my parents which was far out of our way for 6 days and nights and finally the following Thursday the boiler was fixed by British gas who had the cheek to call me and ask for payment detail...

They are lucky I can not give them 0 star. The worst experience in 5 years of letting flats around the UK. The day we moved in, the flat was full of dust and chimney residuals. It took 3 months for them to get someone to clean it. After less than 1 year the roof in the living room caved in and fall on one of the sofa due to a crak well known by the agency and the landlord. We had to leave for weeks in the house while the refurbishment was carried on. We had to re-schedule our life to accommoda...

We used Chris to sell our flat. Not alone did he sell our flat but advised us while looking/bidding for our new home. Chris was very professional and pleasant to deal with and always kept us up to date with developments on the sale. He always gave us good honest advice. I would recommend using DJ Alexander and Chris to anyone selling their home....

I have come to end of my tenancy with DJ Alexander. Although I have not had many issues up until now and would say that I was in general pleased with the service, they have handled the process of handing in my notice to quit poorly. I have had to chase them up all through the process - initially told I should hand in the notice via sheriff as per their recommendation. When I contacted them to find out if it had been received, then told that in fact it had only ever been posted. I have been told ...

Chris was absolutely fantastic. We live in the South of England and were selling a property in Glasgow. Communication was therefore vital. We only met Chris once to sign up for the sale but ever since then his support and communication were absolutely excellent. Emails and texts were responded to immediately with friendliness and professionalism. What more could we ask for? We would recommend Chris anyone selling through D J Alexander. Thank you Chris...

We recently sold our flat with DJ Alexanders, and Chris was our letting agent. From the very start, Chris proved to be extremely professional and approachable person coupled with excellent working knowledge of the property market. I was particularly impressed with his strong communication skills as he would provide regular updates about the sale of our flat and deal with any issues quickly and efficiently. In addition to this, he provided honest, realistic advice to best sell our property. I wou...

He was highly knowledgable on all aspects of the purchase process, he made the whole thing seamless and he was a pleasure to deal with.

After a pretty miserable experience using a large well known West of Scotland letting agent to manage my flat in Glasgow I decided to change letting agent and try DJ ALEXANDER . I was very keen to raise the profile of my property and the standard of tenant placed within it and had been encouraged by the standard of properties on DJ Alexander's books . I made an appointment with LEE HARDY who promptly came out to my flat after I had refurbished it and he explained how DJ's would market the flat...

Our previous experience with DJ Alexanders was pretty underwhelming compared to other agents we use but the recent arrival of DM has been like a breath of fresh air. For example regular inspection reports just didn't exist until he arrived, now they are produced regularly and in some detail. He has proved extremely helpful in the sale of our Ingram Street property and clearly has a sound knowledge of the Glasgow market. In particular we have appreciated the proactive role he has taken in dealing...

Since moving into the property I have had a multitude of problems. Issues that could be resolved with the right professional easily ie plumber, joiner, electrician but there is so much procrastinating and "fobbing off" by all members of staff that I have come across so far that the service nothing short of shambolic. There was a leak under the sink, the fitted wardrobe doors were hanging off, the buzzer doesn't work, the tv aerial connection is "defunct", I wasn't provided w...

We are really sorry that any tenants we let properties to are unsatisfied. However we do not fob tenants off we are simply taking instructions from our landlords and if they decline a request we have to follow through with that particular request. The letting agent is the person in the middle of maintenance issues, complaints, rent arrears and the property management and we will always try our best to give updates when we have them. Once again we would apologise if anyone is dissatisfied with ...

We have been looking for a property in the Glasgow West area for about 6 months, and as a family we had specific criteria regarding catchment areas and quality properties. Out of all the estate agents we have delt with, which is pretty much all of them, I can sincerely say that Chris of D J Alexander has been the best, his integrity, honesty & attention to service is superb. We wish him and D J Alexander all the best and would not hesitate to recommend them. Wilson family....

We rented the flat for 6 months and during this time the response time to solve problems was really poor. The first week at the flat, we found bed bugs in one of the mattress and asked for a change of it. Three months later the agent changed the wrong mattress, despite our clarification. One month after, they finally changed the right one. The most concerning is that the contract ended two months ago, and there is no clarity about the handling given to my deposit since appears not deposited. I ...

Having always rented privately through contacts or gumtree, I was wary about using an agent. I\'d heard lots of horror stories! However, I was very pleasantly surprised by renting a flat from DJ Alexander. They were always really great to deal with, helpful and quick in replying to emails.

I have used Neil and his team for the last 10 years. They are absolutely superb. I have absolutely no problems with receipt of rent or necessary maintenance.
