GBStay 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.

GBAwful 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!!

GBAvoid 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.

GBHorrendous. Horrendous. Repeated failure to fix anything in the property including a ceiling which was left to leak for weeks. Left projects part constructed for months. Would ignore emails consistently. Attempted to overcharge us for multiple repairs. Would not treat damp/mould in the property causing a tenant to develop asthma. Only treated the damage once a formal note from a GP was sent over. Do not under any circumstances use this company. *In response to Lexadon* The issues were brought to your attention multiple times. In order for my experience to be 'verified' by Trustpilot, I had to provide evidence that what I'm saying was true. I was able to, hence the verification. Regarding the overcharging; the original charge which your employees fabricated was c.£2400 for a door and three fence panels. After endless querying and you company's failure to show what we were actually paying for, it was brought down to £600. If that isn't over charging I don't know what is. Furthermore, in your reply, you have failed to acknowledge anything regarding the 'part constructed projects' and asthma inducing mould. I'm therefore assuming that is something your company is taking responsibility for.
