Brixton Flat - Poor Landlord Hello, Lexadon were attentive to our requests at the beginning, they acknowledged that the flat was untidy in parts and organised for a cleaner to come round. This was appreciated. However, soon after we started to realise that Lexadon were extremely slow to respond to maintenance issues. We moved into the property in March and the extractor fan and light were bust, we officially reported the issue in April and 2/3 months later the issue still hasn't been addressed. No communication at all. We had to call them to find out that their maintenance employee had left the company. Having spoken to neighbours and reading reviews here, it's clear Lexadon are very poor at addressing maintenance issues which fall under their responsibility. The most concerning is that we promptly reported an urgent issue with both doors being unlocked/broken which left us vulnerable to theft or potential break ins. Almost 3 weeks later and nothing was communicated to us to reassure us that this issue was being taken seriously. Responses like 'Have you reported it on fixflo'. The whole attitude was cavalier to say the least. Sadly, my flatmate had his bike stolen, and make no mistake this was as a result of the broken doors. Anyone, could walk into our property. Over the time period, people will have noticed that the doors were broken. We share bike storage with Rum Kitchen. People would have eyed up my housemate's nice bike which had a D lock on it. It was cut through. We emailed Lexadon and now they finally seem to be acknowledging the urgency of the issue. A bit late for that, and so far refuse to accept any responsibility for the theft. To be seen. Avoid Lexadon if you want a landlord to care about its tenants. Thanks

Avoid this company I would be very cautious about renting a Lexadon propriety. Of all the landlords, and property companies I have rented with, they are by far the worst, as well as the probably the most incompetent. The team that looks after tenants have almost no knowledge of tenancy and rental laws. They will often try to make requests that are not fitting with your rights as a tenant, so make sure you have read up on your rights as a tenant. From the day we moved in it was a nightmare. The flat was in a disgusting state, it had not been cleaned and we had to argue to get a cleaner in. They told us the walls would remain dirty as we had not specifically asked for them to be painted or cleaned. The heating did not work, and we had to wait two weeks to get it fixed. I had to spend the first weeks cleaning and fixing multiple issues in the flat as it was as noted that they would not be fixed due to us not mentioning the request on our offer letter. They will often claim that they have not received information/files/emails etc so make sure you keep a record of everything. They are rude and condescending in communication, and often claim things are “not their job”. They will make claims without doing any checks. We were threatened with a charge as we had “changed the locks”. We had not changed them, it was just nobody from the office could be bothered to actually check this claim, and we had to film ourselves using the keys. Accounts also had our move our date wrong so kept sending letters claiming “rent arrears” but they would not respond to our emails explaining we had moved out. Thankfully I spoke to Clare on the phone who resolved the issue immediately. The maintenance team are horrendous, you will need to continually chase them, it took 18 months to get some of our issues fixed (replacement blinds for example) You have to basically beg, and explain how it’s damaging their property before they will do anything. The workmen who come are really really helpful and will try to do the best for you, so that’s good. Over all a dreadful renting experience, please be very careful with this company.

Issues from the first day of moving in Issues from the first day of moving in. No professional clean as stated, light bulbs out in all rooms, broken extractor fan in bathroom, broken heated flooring, filthy windows and rubbish in draws. We have been living in the flat for 7 months now and still nothing has been sorted. We have been passed from person to person, had emails ignored, and consistently struggled to get a response. I have called several times but anyone I'm trying to contact has conveniently 'just gone into a meeting'. This is an awful company, and its common knowledge across the building that Lexadon are awful landlords. I mentioned to them that we would withhold rent until issues were sorted, and they replied almost instantly, threatening us that we would be going against our contract, and subsequently evicted. DO NOT RENT A LEXADON PROPERTY.

DO NOT RENT - BIKE STOLEN FROM INSIDE PROPERTY DUE TO REFUSAL TO FIX FRONT DOOR After multiple requests to fix the front doors to our porch and flats which have been broken for a couple of months, Lexadon has failed their duty to do so. My flatmate and I have notified Lexadon and they should have repaired the door urgently in accordance with their duty as a landlord. My road-bike has been stolen as a consequence of the open doors with a saw through a D lock that was easily accessible to any passer by due to the broken door. This should have been treated as a matter of urgency and was ignored and the Door is STILL UNLOCKED. There has been limited communication after calls and emails and they have not yet checked the CCTV. This poor level of service and lack of care for the tenants possessions and safety has led me to write this review.

Maintenance not good enough Maintenance come quickly for minor issues but major ones are entirely ignored. One window has been broken for years with no repair offered, and several others with broken panes have taken months to get fixed. Condition of windows which are not yet actually broken is still shockingly bad (rotten frames, single glazed, difficult to close, etc). Add this to rent increases well above market rates and we weren't very impressed.
