Safety hazard not taken seriously

Sent the wrong person out to do a repair even though was told the correct information. Customer service did not listen to what I said Causing the wrong service repair team to come out. I am waiting for a repair team to be sent out even after calling several times to complain that it is a safety hazard.

Took about a year from when I reported my windows needed seeing to, repairs. They said reasons were waiting for parts. It's standard UPVC double glazing. By the time they got around to doing the repair, other windows were blown, but was told they won't be replaced.

Terrible service from L&Qs contractors!

Terrible service from L&Qs heating contractors! Instead of replacing a 16-year-old boiler, they wasted time and money on endless repairs, 4 visits, 5 appointments (including a cancellation), and over 2 weeks without heating. I had to take 2 days off work, only to endure cold weather with inadequate temporary heating. Absolutely disgraceful!

Extremely Disappointed with L&Q Housing

Extremely Disappointed with L&Q HousingI am deeply frustrated and disappointed with the lack of response and action from L&Q Housing regarding my urgent request for a move on medical grounds. According to their own policies, I should only have waited 12 weeks, yet it has been 18 weeks with no progress. I have submitted all the required paperwork, including medical documents, proof of my illnesses, and ID, and I’ve had confirmation that everything has been received.My current 4-bedroom ground-floor garden property is far too big for my needs and entirely unsuitable for my declining health. I have been a tenant for 17 years and have endured countless issues that L&Q has failed to address, including:Numerous severe leaks and flooding that have caused significant damage to my home.Persistent mould and mildew, which has negatively impacted my family’s health.Infestations of mice and, more recently, a rat, despite attempts to resolve the issue.A lobby wall alarm, directly attached to our bedroom’s plasterboard wall, that sounds continuously for days, sometimes over a week, making it impossible to sleep or use the room.Despite countless emails, phone calls, and complaints to L&Q, I’ve been ignored at every turn. I have involved environmental health, a disrepair team, and even the council, yet nothing has changed.My health continues to deteriorate, I cannot walk unaided, and I urgently need to move to a smaller, disabled-adapted home or over-50s sheltered accommodation closer to my family. The neglect I have experienced is not only unacceptable but also a complete failure of L&Q’s duty of care to their tenants.As of today, I have still received no response from L&Q, despite my repeated efforts to reach them. Their inaction is shameful, and I sincerely hope this review will prompt them to take immediate action, not only for my sake but for all tenants suffering similar neglect.

L&Q have failed me again!

I've had an incredibly stressful and disappointing experience with London and Quadrant (L&Q). For over a year, closer to eighteen months, I've been trying to resolve an issue with a constant leak in my property. It’s been confirmed that the pipe causing the leak was improperly installed when the property was built, yet L&Q has done nothing to address it.My complaint has been passed around endlessly with no resolution. I’m constantly left waiting for appointments where no one turns up, and there’s no communication to explain why. I’ve even had to rely on others to email them on my behalf, but still no action has been taken.This whole situation has caused me so much unnecessary stress. At this point, I believe the only way forward is to escalate my case to the Housing Ombudsman. L&Q has completely failed me, and I wouldn't recommend them

Excellent staff and smooth process

Everything went so smoothly and much quicker than I excepted when purchasing my property through shared ownership. Fantastic communication and every staffmember on the team was friendly and kind.

I’m in Sketch Apartments.

I’m in Sketch Apartments.Awful customer service and billing. Been unable to set up an online account because I am only renting and it is only available to residents. I have gone back and forth between different people in customer service, some say it should be possible to have an online account, some say it is impossible. I have gone back and forth between them like this multiple times.Eventually I gave up trying to get an online account and figured I would just get letters. I didn’t receive anything for a while but I didn’t notice because I have been distracted by a family emergency. Now out of the blue they have rung me up to say I need to pay my bill of hundreds of pounds for the months in which they haven’t sent a single bill. They won’t send letters if someone has an online account but they won’t let me access my online account because I am not a resident. It’s so dumb!!Non-existent cleaning of public spaces.The building stinks and they haven’t cleaned up the smell in months - I think someone urinated in a stairwell and they have left it like that.This is to say nothing of the fact the front door was broken for weeks without being fixed so anyone could come in.Avoid, avoid, avoid!Update (1 month later): It still stinks!An L and Q representative called me to tell me that the smell is caused by a problem with the plumbing rather than the cleaning. That’s good to know (I guess?) but I’m still shocked that it hasn’t been fixed after over 2 months.

One star is generous. I moved into my property March 2024 and raised snags that needed to be fixed. After chasing over 10 times to various people in L&Q, nothing has been done. Raised formal complaints and still no progress. Avoid at all costs.

Wouldn’t buy under shareholders scheme anymore

Got the flat in 2017First year the boiler failed: no action from you, replaced by myself because you refused to pay for it Since the start, windows on the garden side are not stopping the rain: no action from your side. Asked to replace them, God knows when you can In 2018 mould starting in the bedroom: cleaned few times with chemicals, going this Christmas to check by myself, still waiting action from your side Aerial failure, after few weeks one engineer replaced the part in the box, but half of the aerial is missing During the Covid had mouth infestation: carpet was a massive bed for them: fixed by myself 2022, after the excavation on front of the door (Virgin?some internet cable) the path collapsed, even some concrete floor tiles break; two weeks we had to jump to get in the main door 2022/2023: garden was a toilet for a big dog; one year even the garden people refused to trim the bushes (did we get discount that time? No!)Asking to have one electric vehicle charging point as in 2025 company is going to replace fuel vehicle with one full electric car to match the green conversion, as per government policy: you are correctly exploring to find a solution

The Home Ownership Resales Team are great. They try their hardest to get questions and queries relating to a property sale transaction dealt with in a timely manner, but, unfortunately, due to circumstances / other internal L&Q departments / external Vendors / Solicitors etc. that are out of their control they have a hard time delivering sometimes - but this is NOT the fault of the Home Ownership Resales Team

Gap between policy and practice

Dear Lisa P (head of customer resolutions) Re: I trust you are well. I am writing to you as a long-term resident of L&Q for the past nine years to raise serious concerns about the poor customer service I have received, particularly from Nicola B and her manager, Graham S. Despite my best efforts to resolve these issues, I have exhausted all other channels short of legal action. I am reaching out in the hope of achieving a satisfactory resolution.As someone who suffers from OCD, PTSD, and BPD, unresolved issues with my home have had a significant impact on my mental health. There appears to be a troubling gap between L&Q’s policies and their actual implementation, which has only exacerbated my distress.I would like to send you a more detailed email outlining the issues I have faced. Could you kindly provide me with your email address?Very best wishesFarrah Qulzam
