I’ve known Ken, Caroline, Jack and Kelly since 2006 when I first bought an investment flat in Norbury via James Alexander’s. Their professional, objective, unhurried, helpful and friendly advice and their impeccable management of the property throughout the years has been invaluable.
Obviously, in that length of time problems of various sorts arise, but they’ve all been handled quickly and efficiently. They get repairs done rapidly by competent tradesmen (and at a fair price)to keep tenants happy.
I really can’t praise the office enough. I don’t think you’ll get better service in London – you certainly won’t from the big chains.
Ken Hume and co. are a rarity.
When you come to sell you won’t get unrealistic valuations from a 12-year-old in a call centre miles away designed to reel you in – just an honest appraisal based of the current market in Norbury and the surrounding areas they know so well.
We have just completed on the sale of the flat. It was a difficult process legally and took a long time to get through – all for reasons that had nothing to do with Alexander’s. They kept us informed throughout and, possibly more importantly, kept the purchasers on side when exasperation could have set in.
I’m deeply grateful to Ken and his team. Go and have a chat with them – even if you’re just starting to think about buying or renting in the area. You won’t be sorry.
