DO NOT RENT WITH LEXADON If I could give a negative star rating I would. Lexadon is an absolute joke of a professional company, charging extortionate prices yet the employees can’t seem to understand the basic concepts of building management. They will try and steal your money at every opportunity and will happily let you pay rent to live in damp, squalid conditions. And if they send builders round you can guarantee a completely separate part of your flat will be broken by the time the builders are gone (eg come to fix a window and break the toilet off the wall), and your flat will be a filthy mess. Do yourselves a favour and rent elsewhere.

Shockingly 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.

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.

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.

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.
