Alexander Taylor Estate Agents

Estate Agents · Est. 2007

📍

Falkirk & Forth Valley

Alexander Taylor is an independent estate agency built around a simple belief: selling a home should be about far more than simply getting it sold.

Across Falkirk, Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Bonnybridge, Denny, Dunipace and surrounding communities, the agency combines decades of property experience with detailed preparation, strong negotiation and a highly personal approach to every move.

The focus is on understanding what the client actually wants to achieve, protecting the value of their property and keeping them informed throughout the process. For Alexander Taylor, the measure of a successful move is not simply whether a sale completes, but whether the client feels they were properly represented along the way.

That philosophy has shaped the business since 2007 and continues today through founder Alyson Lowe, partner Stephen Matthews and a commitment to relationships that last beyond a single transaction.

The Founding Story

“A home is never just a transaction. It can shape someone’s next chapter. Our job is to protect its value, fight for the best possible outcome and make the journey one they remember for the right reasons.”

ALYSON LOWE - FOUNDER & DIRECTOR

Alexander Taylor was established in May 2007 after years of experience within the new-build property industry exposed Alyson Lowe to a problem she believed could be solved better.

Having spent around two decades working in new homes, Alyson regularly saw clients become frustrated by the experience they received when their properties were passed to traditional estate agents as part of assisted-sale schemes.

Eventually, the thought became: there has to be a better way to do this.

Alexander Taylor was built from the ground up, from its identity and premises to the processes used to sell property. Alyson took much of the structure and discipline she had learned within new homes and adapted it for residential estate agency: prepare properly, communicate clearly, follow the process and remain accountable for the result.

Nearly two decades later, technology and the property market have changed enormously, but the principle behind the agency has remained remarkably consistent.

Do what you say you are going to do, support people properly and never forget the significance of the asset somebody has trusted you to sell.

The Owner & The Agency

Alexander Taylor is led by founder and director Alyson Lowe, alongside partner Stephen Matthews.

Alyson brings decades of experience across new-build and residential property. Her approach is shaped by preparation, accurate positioning and strong negotiation, taking the time to get a property right before launch rather than simply getting it onto the market.

Stephen is focused on the next stage of Alexander Taylor, building stronger community links and relationships based on trust. His belief is that longevity in estate agency comes from looking after people properly, not chasing a quick transaction and moving on.

That philosophy becomes most visible when a move gets difficult. During one recent, complicated sale, the team had already provided staging furniture and, when last-minute delays left the seller struggling to prepare for handover, offered to help with painting and cleaning the driveway.

For Alexander Taylor, that is simply part of taking responsibility for the client’s move.

Where We Work

Areas We Cover

These areas can sit only minutes apart while differing considerably in property values, housing styles and buyer demand. Alyson discusses, for example, how the price of a comparable family home can change significantly between Larbert, Denny and Bonnybridge despite the relatively short distance between them.

Behind the Scenes with Alyson Lowe

In this episode of the Leading Estate Agents of the World Podcast, Alyson Lowe reflects on almost four decades in property and the experiences that eventually led to the creation of Alexander Taylor.

Alyson discusses the Falkirk and Forth Valley market, including the differences between neighbouring areas such as Larbert, Bonnybridge and Denny and why detailed local knowledge can make a substantial difference when valuing or buying a home.

The conversation also explores her approach to selling. Rather than rushing a property onto the market, Alyson believes in preparing it properly, being willing to make difficult recommendations and getting the strategy right before that crucial first impression.

Alyson also explains some of the important differences buyers moving from elsewhere in the UK need to understand about the Scottish property system, including Home Reports, valuations and the information available before making an offer.

The episode provides an introduction to Alyson, the thinking behind Alexander Taylor and an approach to estate agency built around preparation, communication, negotiation and maximising the client’s outcome.

Who we are

Mission & Values

Alexander Taylor exists to help people understand what can genuinely be achieved from their property while making the experience of moving feel supported, informed and properly managed. The agency wants clients to finish their move feeling that the people representing them were approachable, professional and there when they were needed.

Be Approachable

Property involves different people, personalities and circumstances. Clients should feel comfortable asking questions, explaining what matters to them and seeking advice without feeling judged or rushed.

Do What We Say

Trust is built through consistency. From the first conversation through valuation, preparation, launch, viewings, negotiation and completion, Alexander Taylor believes clients should understand the process and be able to rely on the team to deliver what has been promised.

Make the Experience Matter

A completed transaction is only part of the result. Alexander Taylor wants sellers and buyers to look back and feel that they were supported, informed and represented properly throughout one of the biggest financial decisions they will make.

Build Relationships That Last

Longevity comes from relationships built on trust and strong morals rather than pursuing the quickest possible transaction. That means remaining part of the community, building a reputation through actions and creating relationships that continue long after the keys have changed hands.

Alyson and Steven were fantastic. Very professional in every department. Our house sold very quickly and all the business went through without a hitch. We would definitely recommend Alexander Taylor Estate Agents Ltd. Many thanks Billy and Allison

Billy Ellis

Alyson is amazing we bought our new house and sold our house with Alexander Taylor. From start to finish always professional and nothing was an issue! Alyson was always at the other end of the phone or email if we needed to ask anything. Such a lovely person to deal with at a time that should be stressful. Thanks again for everything!

Cassie L

Alyson helped me sell my flat so I could purchase a new home. I would definitely use Alexander Taylor again. Me and my partner found Alyson professional, really communicative, yet friendly at the same. We had 3 offers within going live after only one week on the market, despite other agents telling me it could take months to sell. Unfortunately, the original buyer pulled out from the sale, which I know happens and cannot be controlled. However, Alyson handled the setback really well and was determined to get the place sold again, which she did. When I felt frustrated due to a lack of communication with lawyers and banks, Alyson was different and always kept us updated throughout the process.

Alyson took over selling our house after we had problems with the previous agent. She was recommended to me by a neighbour and it was a difference of night and day! The previous agent hardly contacted us and appeared disinterested in the house, ignored our complaints, was completely unprofessional by bad-mouthing another local agent (in writing!) and tried to talk us into accepting a far lower offer than we wanted. Alyson, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of this agent. She is entirely professional and worked extremely hard. Even when things went a bit off the rails when an offer was withdrawn, she went right back to work and got us the price we were looking for. We were kept informed every step of the way. She was never unreachable. The previous agent may have been cheaper but it showed. You get what you pay for! I have no hesitation in recommending Alyson and Alexander Taylor Estate Agents to everyone who may be planning on selling their house in the future.

Great service always available, sold out house on 5 days. Highly recommended and a personal service thanks Alyson.

Alyson represented the sale of our home in January and I couldn’t recommend her any more. She came to value our property quickly and came prepared with documents on similar properties in the area, what they’d sold for and provided her insights into why and what that meant for our property. She valued our home for a price we were delighted to hear and within a week had over 12 viewings booked in. After only one day of showings we were presented with multiple offers and she took care of everything. Contacting us regularly, answering any questions and made sure our property was staged well and photographed excellently for the market. Huge thank you for all your guidance and advice, Simon & Mark.

Simon Rankine

I have recently had the privilege of both selling and buying through Alyson at Alexander Taylor. I was impressed by her professionalism and organised demeanour from the very beginning and her attention to detail was impeccable from start to finish. She eased what could’ve been a very stressful time with her excellent communication and willingness to reassure, help and advise. I would definitely recommend her.

Lesley Doherty

I cannot recommend Alyson at Alexander Taylor highly enough. From start to finish, her professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail have been second to none. Selling a property can often be a stressful process, but Alyson made it seamless. She went above and beyond at every step—whether it was offering expert advice on pricing, keeping us updated throughout the process, or handling unforeseen challenges with confidence. Alyson’s communication was outstanding, we were never left in the dark. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, our property sold quickly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you again Alyson!
