GBIssues 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.

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

GBShockingly 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.

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.

GBDO NOT RENT - BIKE STOLEN FROM INSIDE PROPERTY DUE TO REFUSAL TO FIX FRONT DOOR After multiple requests to fix the front doors to our porch and flats which have been broken for a couple of months, Lexadon has failed their duty to do so. My flatmate and I have notified Lexadon and they should have repaired the door urgently in accordance with their duty as a landlord. My road-bike has been stolen as a consequence of the open doors with a saw through a D lock that was easily accessible to any passer by due to the broken door. This should have been treated as a matter of urgency and was ignored and the Door is STILL UNLOCKED. There has been limited communication after calls and emails and they have not yet checked the CCTV. This poor level of service and lack of care for the tenants possessions and safety has led me to write this review.
