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.

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.

Awful 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!!

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.

Maintenance not good enough Maintenance come quickly for minor issues but major ones are entirely ignored. One window has been broken for years with no repair offered, and several others with broken panes have taken months to get fixed. Condition of windows which are not yet actually broken is still shockingly bad (rotten frames, single glazed, difficult to close, etc). Add this to rent increases well above market rates and we weren't very impressed.
