GBRude 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

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.

GB30% 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.

GBSewage 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.

GBBrixton 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
