TrustpilotMain front door store being left unlocked
IF you have written to all residents in this building telling them to stop leaving the main front door unlocked .. then it hasn't been effective.So I hope the person doing it... soon has their home broken into here... then they will learn the lesson of making sure that front door is locked properly. If it's my home broken into ...you'll be hearing from a lawyer on my behalf L&Q.

TrustpilotL&Q Service Charge Ripoff/Scam
Service Charges are astronomical. License to print money. About time someone investigated L&Q regarding this scam.But not surprised as L&Q CEO Fiona Fletcher-Smith wages are £377,020 this year 2024. when they started at £328,500 in 2022 ! Imagine what everyone else has awarded themselves . They have to get it from somewhere..Correct me if my figures are wrong.

L&Q send contractor to do repairs works I'm house and just ruined the overall appearance of the building, tearing off some wall papers and putting a new ceiling on and not doing any decoration on it. Whenbyou call them they say the tenant have to fixed this issues by themselves even though ot was the contractors that causes the damage. I don't think thus is fair.

My concern of having a key fob was declined as L&Q said that the building has a Certificate of Secure by Design. That i need to contact Countryside Development. But the design of my flat was not SECURED? Secured of the building BUT not the occupier. To think that it is located on a secluded area without extra locked entry.L&Q have recently installed a door handle on the main entrance of the building. But my request for key fob door entry was turned down. Poor customer service

TrustpilotAccording to Trust Pilot
According to Trust Pilot, 58% of reviews from residents are not happy. As I read these reviews I feel the pain of all those affected by this awful Housing association. I have been with them for 10 years. It has been the worst 10 years of my life. Do not buy or rent from these people; it's not worth the aggravation you will experience, over, and over and over. You have been warned. The police are on their side so if you are assaulted by one of their favorite tenants, the police will not take action. It's shameful what's going on! Maybe we should all start a petition to close them down.

Service charges are extortionate and you don't receive said service and get notification letter after they charge you. Repairs take over 6 months to be done. Reports of meeting between tenant and Housing Manager not received even when requested and promised despite asking for said report for almost one year. Complaints not being taken seriously. Bank details being read out loud over the phone. Being fobbed off with excuses.

Agent replied · 11 June 2024
Hi Colin,Thank you so much for your review and for bringing this matter to our attention.First and foremost, we're deeply sorry to hear of your cancer diagnosis. We can imagine this must be a difficult and worrying time, and we sincerely hope you're responding well to the treatment. We certainly feel your frustration with the length of time it's taking to complete the shower repair, especially considering your personal circumstances and we offer our sincerest apology if you feel our services have failed to meet your expectations.Whilst we appreciate you’re a priority for repairs and we endeavour to complete repairs on our first call, sometimes this unfortunately isn't always possible due to ordering new parts or materials before the repair can be completed. We also take into consideration other facilities that may be available to you and we prioritise repairs using the information that’s also available to us.Having investigated this matter further and following contact with our plumber, we understand your home is also equipped with a bath and the hot and cold-water supply was still available at the time of our visit. With this in mind, we’ve been advised alternative washing facilities are available to yourself whilst the shower is sadly out of use. If for any reason this information isn’t correct or things have changed, please do let us know as it’s important for us to know if situations change so we can offer further help to you. In the meantime, rest assured we’ve taken onboard your feedback and we’ll be sure to note your dissatisfaction as it helps us to understand where our residents would like to see a more improved service from us.Furthermore, our work planners monitor appointment availability daily and if an earlier appointment becomes available, they’ll be sure to contact you if we’re able to bring your appointment forward.We hope to think you agree with our reason for the delay, but we’d like you to know we’re here for you should you have any further questions and you’re more than welcome to reach out to us at anytime where it’ll be our pleasure to help. Contact with us is welcome via any or your preferred channels. Alternatively, our amazing team here are reachable by email at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk and we kindly request ‘Trustpilot’ is used as your email header when contacting us in this way.Many ThanksCustomer Service Team

I was a bit heasiting to write this review but I have no other choice but to do so for my repair to get done. We moved in one of l&q building pushase from different housing association .When we moved in everything looks fine apart from the wrong installation of the washing machine been connected to dishwasher switche and due to this our washing machine uses hot water alone and this is increasing our monthly heat billing badly. We are family with young children and we do alot of washingWe raise it up with our property manager who was quiet helpful, she chase it up and only to come back to us and informed us that the prs repair team manager has advised her that they followed the correct installation procedure and there is nothing to be done about it.I took it upon me to call them my self and one of them advice us some of the new washing machines has elements that heat up water in the machine or may be I should give the washing machine company a call as it still has it one year warranty. I did so and when they came to check there was nothing wrong with the machine but is due to wrong installation.I went back and reported this but up until date I have not heard anything from L&qI am quite disappointed and will not recommend L&q property to friends and family.

Very poor building management. they have lack of accountability, maintenance is still pending after 12 months. fire doors and lift broken for months now, but service charge has increased by 35% year over year.

The company is misleading. I applied for the London Living Rent scheme and met all the necessary criteria to qualify for a home. However, they responded by saying that my financial assessment concluded that my household is eligible to purchase a home through Shared Ownership, which is completely inaccurate. This scheme appears to be deceptive, and I will be making my complaint known.!

TrustpilotIf I Had Any Hair To Pull Out...
Everything could be done better as it's no possible to be worse as you've not done anything yet.We have been in the property since 01/12/22 and our top floor neighbours since June 2022. A delivery person fractured their hip months and months ago of the broken concrete, the windows frames are rotten and after early arrivals from the wrong trades type this is simply a joke. To then receive a passive aggressive letter demanding a £5 outstanding amount when we have a direct debit was the cherry on top. I would give 0 stars if the option was available.As we collectively have repeatedly stress the urgency to rectify the path/driveway aesthetically and of a standard that will last, unlike the previous 50mm concrete screed by however performed the last bodge job. My older brother has restored listed buildings for over 40 years so know good trades work to a sticky plaster over a mess. So would kindly ask that both 40B windows, our frames at 40A and the path and driveway are firstly fixed of a standard that you would be happy with at your property and that we actually know what the plans are moving forward prior to any work being started please.

I needed my gas meter moved off a wall so that the wall behind it could be plastered due to a hole that has appeared.
