    image cannot be displayed

    Since 1982, DJ Alexander Estate Agents have committed themselves to upholding the highest standards of quality and integrity in our business, in property letting and sales.

    In whichever city, Edinburgh or Glasgow, our working principles demand that in lettings we service the best interests of both tenant and landlord simultaneously and without compromise and in sales that we offer only the highest quality properties in a process that is seamless, transparent and above all, efficient.

    PROPERTY LETTINGS

    In both Edinburgh and Glasgow our working principals service the best interests of both tenant and landlord without compromise.

    PROPERTY SALES

    With a wealth of knowledge in property sales across Edinburgh and Glasgow, our estate agents aim to offer the highest quality properties in a process that is seamless, transparent and above all, efficient.

    In Edinburgh we have established ties with more blue chip companies than any other prime property letting agent. Our aim is not to be the biggest, but to be the most sought-after property management company

    We believe we can achieve this by offering extraordinary service, exactly when you need it. We recruit and retain our staff based on their ability to deliver service with unfailing enthusiasm.

    Company History
    image cannot be displayed

    D.J. Alexander began life as a residential estate agent in the Leith district of Edinburgh in 1982 but the proprietor, David Alexander, soon discovered the vast untapped potential offered by executive property lettings in the capital and decided to concentrate the firm's entire efforts in this field.

    Nevertheless, after a long and successful history of property lettings, D.J. Alexander returned to its roots in 2005 by launching, or re-launching, its own residential estate agency arm, based at 24 Dundas Street, Edinburgh.

    Initially, the company had just a handful of letting properties on its books but due purely to generic growth it now manages an unrivalled portfolio of quality flats and houses throughout Edinburgh and Glasgow.

    We have successfully grown our business over the years through our committed approach to client satisfaction. We strive to ensure we always act in the best interest of landlords and tenants, sellers and buyers.

    Asked to explain the success of D.J. Alexander over a quarter of a century, David Alexander commented:

    "Although the business has grown more than twenty-fold, we still provide the same individual, highly focused level of service to each and every client, and at a price that provides real value for money. We realise that every client is different and paying attention to their specific requirements goes a long way to getting a "result" on their behalf.

    "As our new motto says, 'Extraordinary services, exactly when you need it'; that succinctly sums up D.J. Alexander."

WHY RENT THROUGH DJ ALEXANDER

  • paragraph

    image cannot be displayed

    We have always strived to ensure that our tenants are treated fairly and respectfully. It is commonly perceived that tenants can often suffer unfair treatment at the hands of some private landlords and unscrupulous letting agents.


    The internet is littered with bad reviews of letting agents most of which are from disgruntled tenants. The most common complaints are failing to properly deal with maintenance issues and taking unreasonable deductions from security deposits at the end of tenancies.

    Since the company was formed in 1981 we have grown our business based on our excellent reputation. Our reputation is built on integrity and decency and we ensure we treat our clients and tenants with the utmost respect.

    We will always aim to resolve maintenance issues as quickly as possible, make sure our properties are cleaned and well presented and ensure that no tenants are held liable for damages or dilapidations unless it is fair and reasonable to do so.

    If you have any problems whilst renting a property with us please do not hesitate to get in touch. We have a dedicated maintenance team who will help with any problems you may have with your property or its equipment and our accounts team are always on hand to discuss any rental payment issues.

Testimonials from Landlords

  • Landlord Testimonial

    Nick Champion

    Alexander's have managed my property at St Stephen Street when I purchased it in 2000. It has been rented almost every single day since and has effectively paid for it all and this is due to Alexander's excellent knowledge of the rental market. I cannot thank you enough.

    As a soldier who has spent huge amounts of time away on operation knowing that i had a sensible, delightful and flexible property manager has been a huge weight off my shoulder. I would like to record my gratitude and thanks formally here and would be grateful if you could pass this on to everyone who has been involved.

    We do not expect to be in the property for long and when we next let it out i will, without a doubt, be in touch with Alexander's to manage the property again.
    Thank you and best wishes.

    LM (Overseas Seller) - Simpson Loan
    We appointed DJ Alexander to act as our residential agent in the sale of our flat in the Quartermile Development. We found Deirdre, Kieran and the team nothing less than excellent. They were forthright, honest, and given we do not live in Scotland, very communicative and helpful in giving us advice on how to get the best outcome from the sale. They achieved our expectations in relation to sales price to a chase buyer within a relatively short time frame, and stayed with it right up and until the transaction was completed. They are a dedicated and enthusiastic group, who had managed the property for the four preceding years for us and did a superb job at that too. We would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending them as residential agents in the sale of residential property in Edinburgh and what is more, believe that it would be difficult for another agency to beat them on speed, deliverability and doing what they say they will do. Top class.

    Just to say thanks very much for sorting out the problem with my washing machine so quickly, once again, you're super-efficient! Fantastic to have some clean clothes for the weekend :)

    Geraldine - Old Town

    Just a quick email to thank you for your support and guidance during the sale of my property in Edinburgh. I was very happy with the initial help and advice from Deirdre, and was pleased to be kept up to date by Innes, as regards viewings and interest in the property on a regular basis. It all ran very smoothly and our property was sold within 3 months. All in all a very positive experience.

    Many thanks for your assistance, and that of your colleagues at DJ Alexander, Edinburgh.

    Aaron & Laura - Dicksonfield

    Just wanted to say thank-you for the service myself and Laura have received from yourselves over the past couple of weeks. We have been unlucky enough to have had washing machines troubles and then an issue with the boiler in last few days. Along the way I have to say the service far exceeds that which either of us have experienced in the past with landlords/letting agencies.

    The prompt response to our boiler problem, reported only yesterday morning and now completely fixed following the engineers visit this morning, is greatly appreciated.

    Please make everyone aware that the service we have received so far has been very professional and superior to any letting agent we have dealt with previously.

    I use DJ Alexanders to manage my properties and I get a first class service both in finding tenants and also in helping to maintain my properties. They make life easier for me and they respond quickly and in a friendly manner to any issues which arise with either the properties or the tenants.
