30% rent increase in 1 year — more than 15x London average So Lexadon have told me they are planning to jack up the rent by OVER 30 PER CENT in December (less than the legal six months minimum for yearly contract tenants). I’ve lived here for 9 months. The average private rental increase rate in London this year was around 2 per cent. That said, the elevator has worked three times. And the building is falling apart. You get the picture.

Awful estate agents Awful estate agents to work with. Literally dangle your deposit in front of your nose and awfully rude staff. Just moved out of the property and would highly recommend to avoid this company at all costs. I have been renting for around 20 years and never had any bad experiences like i did with this company. We even got reminded that if we didn't leave the flat in the same state that we found it we would be charged...the place was disgusting and even a very inappropriate toy under one of the beds, despite being advised it had been professionally cleaned twice. Rhea is very argumentative as are all the staff. AVOID at all costs. Would not want anybody to fall victim to them!!

Great experience ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great experience. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ From start to finish. The viewing was hands down the best viewing I have been on. The knowledge, professionalism, information provided, quality of property and response times have been amazing. Referencing was easy and straight forward using rightmove referencing which was easy to use. We were kept updated during the whole process. The move in was smooth and we have started making some great friends with other tenants in the building. Any small maintenance issues have been dealt with super quickly by their in house maintenance team. Could not fault the experience. We are very happy to have found such a lovely property in such an awful period of the rental market. We had been to 20+ viewings and had been out bid and missed out on even viewing some properties due to how competitive the market is. Lexadon’s process was fair and straight forward.

Shambolic 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.

Incompetent Landlord and Poor Maintenance Having rented multiple properties in London, Lexadon are by far the worst and most incompetent landlord that my partner and I have encountered. Administration is poor and unorganised, partnered with a lack of accountability and inefficient management of office staff and premises. The maintenance team have extremely poor communication and terrible customer service. Incident reports, emails and calls are frequently ignored, and complaints are left without response or action. We would not recommend entering into a relationship with Lexadon unless you have time to waste on the constant chasing required to get anything done. A disappointing lack of care for tenants was shown when poor building maintenance caused power outages, and a bike was stolen from the “secure bike parking area”. When you take over a property, do not expect any maintenance work requested or cleaning to have been done between tenancies, as keys are handed over by the previous tenants only 1 hour earlier than you receive them via the inventory clerk. Overall, an extremely stressful and negative experience and we would advise others to steer clear of this unreliable landlord and their poorly maintained properties.
