Hi John,Thank you so much for leaving us a review.We’re very sorry you’re experiencing some issues with your boiler, and we apologise profusely if our service hasn’t met your expectations on this occasion. We certainly feel your frustration when this happens, but we appreciate you letting us know of your feelings.We endeavour to make sure all boiler breakdowns are attended to within 72 working hours unless there’s vulnerability in the property whereby the rule will be slightly different. With this in mind, we can confirm the appointment originally offered for 2nd April has met our service level agreement.We fully understand this may be disappointing to hear but unfortunately this is our policy and procedure which we must always adhere to, however we’ll assess each case on an individual basis and take into consideration any vulnerabilities in the property when offering an appointment. We sincerely hope you find the above information helpful, but please contact us or by email at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk (with ‘Trustpilot’ as the email subject) if there’s anything further we can do for you and it’ll be a pleasure to help.Many ThanksCustomer Service Team

TrustpilotL&Q are liars who gaslight shared ownership residents about service charges
I have lived in a shared ownership property in the Elephant Park for 2 and a half years. It's a basic property with a foyer, mailboxes and a shared patio garden with a few plants. There is no concierge or gym, or full time staff. When I bought the property the service charge was £280 a month, it's now increased to £500 a month. It's been incredibly stressful dealing with endless letters demanding more money and confusing explanations as to why. L&Q pretend that the cost increases are due to macroeconomic inflation, but it's actually going up because they and Lendlease keep reapportioning costs from the wider development onto the shared ownership tenants. They literally lie about it. We pay for electricity and salaries for all the other buildings in the park and they have consistently moved the goalposts. They don't justify why this acceptable, they just tie you up in legality.Do not buy and L&Q shared ownership property under any circumstances. It will be the worst decision you have ever made.

TrustpilotSheer incompetance
K&T couldn't organise a party in a brewery.Operatives arriving without any warning, appointment letters arriving after the proposed date etc.Had to ring them to arrange suitable date, then had to ring again to cancel as another letter arrived with yet another appointment date.All this time all L&Q did was issue threatening letters.Complained to L&Q, complaint acknowledged, followed by another threatening letter regarding the cancelled date.Finally received the Safety Check Certificate along with yet another threatening letter from L&Q.Usual story re. HAs, don't investigate the problem. Easier to blame the tenant and issue threats.

Hi Cy,Thank you so much for your review and for taking the time to share your experience with us.We're truly sorry you had a disappointing experience with K&T Heating, and we apologise profusely for the confusion with your appointments and for the inconvenience caused to you too.We also hear your dissatisfaction with receiving reminder letters and whilst we appreciate it's not nice receiving these letters, it's important that we're complying as a landlord. As you may already be aware it's essential for a gas safety inspection to be carried out on your home each year and reminder letters are sent to all residents. Unfortunately, as these letters are automated, we're unable to prevent them from being sent until a valid gas safety certificate is on file. Please bear in mind once the gas safety check is completed, it can take a few days for us to receive the certificate. In the meantime, it’s quite possible another letter could’ve been generated and sent out to you. We sincerely hope this information helps and we'd like to reassure you it wasn't our intentions to cause so much disappointment. We're here for you should you have any questions and you're more than welcome to reach out to us at any time where we'll be more than happy to help.Contact with us is welcome through any of your preferred channels or by email at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk.

The original electrical failure in the cooker circuit was mis diagnosed as in - 'it's the cooker the wiring is fine' - on buying a new cooker at considerable cost the follow up visit then stated the wiring/plug was at fault, but could not be done at that point re parts - on the third visit the plug was fixed and the new cooker connected

TrustpilotRemembering what L&Q initially stood for.
L&Q has lost their way since been formed in 1963. L&Q lack empathy, they don't really listen to their tenant's anymore. Where there's conflicts of opinions, L&Q cease to acknowledge or compromise.

TrustpilotOverall ok
Overall, we had pretty good experience. Apart from the fact that progression coordinator was quite unresponsive at times and would ignore some of our emails when we only had around 1-2 weeks left before moving in and the property was not secured yet because referencing process started quite late, and took longer than usual. Better communication from progression coordinator would help.

TrustpilotKudos to Zakiya from L&Q - A++ professionalism.
I just concluded my tenancy application with L&Q and I just wanted to take a moment out to leave a review for their Lettings associate, Zakiya. From the very beginning of my application right through to the conclusion, Zakiya was the L&Q representative I dealt with the most and while the actual application process is quite long winded, my experience with Zakiya was absolutely first class. She was incredibly diligent and communicative through the process which meant at no point did I feel completely in the dark about things. She explained the process to me from the outset and what to expect which helped manage my expectations and ultimately made smooth what is typically an otherwise anxiety inducing process (apartment hunting). Her professionalism was second to none and I just wanted to take a moment to recognise her. Thanks immensely Zakiya for everything and I hope L&Q recognises your efforts! You’re a credit to the organisation!
