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.

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.

Sewage Issues Sewage Issues Currently their building at 208 Long Lane has a waste down pipe disconnected from the building. It is pouring out foul drainage all down the side of the building and onto neighbouring car park. They have been notified and not willing to take immediate action. As a neighbour to one of their building I can safely say the maintenance of the building is poor at best. Their attitude to fixing serious issues is clearly the same. I would think twice before renting one of their properties.

Issues from the first day of moving in Issues from the first day of moving in. No professional clean as stated, light bulbs out in all rooms, broken extractor fan in bathroom, broken heated flooring, filthy windows and rubbish in draws. We have been living in the flat for 7 months now and still nothing has been sorted. We have been passed from person to person, had emails ignored, and consistently struggled to get a response. I have called several times but anyone I'm trying to contact has conveniently 'just gone into a meeting'. This is an awful company, and its common knowledge across the building that Lexadon are awful landlords. I mentioned to them that we would withhold rent until issues were sorted, and they replied almost instantly, threatening us that we would be going against our contract, and subsequently evicted. DO NOT RENT A LEXADON PROPERTY.

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.
