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.

The best guidance and experience I… The best guidance and experience I would want out of a viewing. Couldn’t fault them.

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.

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.

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
