GBShockingly poor service to tenants Shockingly poor service to tenants, including ignoring emails flagging issues, in particular relating to rotten windows that we were consistently advised need to be and would be replaced (14 months and counting since they sent out a contractor to take a look at them who advised that they are in great need of replacement). The contractor also helpfully told us that we were not the worst of the properties that they had seen re. window condition, so we can be quite sure that this is not just a unique problem to us! On the occasions they do respond, they insist that we go through their “Workflow” system, which allows for them to pick and choose what problems they want to solve and which ones they want to ignore (as occurred on a number of occasions). They then consistently rents above market rates, in spite of acknowledging that these issues have not been dealt with, because they can. They in fact so far as to tell us that they will be able to get more money if they put it on the market, so they are quite happy renting out terrible properties at exorbitantly high prices, cementing my reasonable opinion that Lexadon are the worst in the London rental market cesspit. Avoid at all costs until the rating starts going up.

GBDO 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.

GBShambolic organisation Spent over 6 months trying to get a balcony door fixed to no avail - it took an email copying the MD (found on LinkedIn) for anything to happen and even then the door wasn't fixed properly - just a sliding bolt fitted across the top as the doors are "bespoke" so presumably Lexadon have no intention of buying a new one? Absolute shambles. No record of maintenance visits to the property so no proper follow up after visits, literally NINE visits to the property to look at the balcony door (let alone other issues). Formal letter received for 33p of rent unpaid... no internal communication, agreed to freeze our rent due to issues with the balcony door then tried to charge us ~£50 extra per month on renewal. Finally... holding onto our deposit for well over 10 days stipulated by the DPS despite us giving 2 months notice so plenty of advance warning we'd want our money back? Cowboys.

GBSewage still pouring from 208 Long Land After more than 7 days since reporting, there is still sewage pouring into our car park from Lexadon’s property on 208 Long Lane. There is poo and toilet paper on the cars below. Not one but two broken sewage pipes are hanging off the side of the building pouring out waste. It has been reported several times and it is still not fixed. It is disgusting and Lexadon clearly do not care.

GBBrixton 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
