Stay away from Lexadon Lexadon have been the worst letting agent that I have ever encountered after my 9 years residency in London. We had one broken and constantly open window in our kitchen. All the windows in the living room were falling apart (literally glass falling off to the street/ inside the house). We reported the issues several times and they kept sending us an almost automatic response saying 'we are trying to get a quote from a contractor'. Two years later, nothing was done about it. Nevertheless, they proposed a 25% increase in rent, which was disproportionate to market rates and definitely to the state of the flat. Email communication from them is mostly rude and infantilising - they seem to imagine themselves as lecturing naughty children rather than trying to help paying adult customers.

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.

Rude staff, poor repairs - terrible company all round Rude, dismissive staff who rarely respond to emails in a timely manner or address the issues you raise. Frequently increase rent but extortionate amounts without justification. Repairs are shoddy and poorly done, flats are single glazed with minimal insulation. The worst

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.

Sewage 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.
