Lies and fabrications

Checking my emails today and came across one that should have been dealt with in June within 10 working days. Service Charge.Sent an email off to NHL. Got a reply. Woohoo!The NHL wanted times and dates of the grounds maintenance doing my garden. Told me she wanted this to work out what I was owed. This is the first time I was asked for this info. I had hopes for this NHL just as bad as the rest. £8.26 for a service not needed or wanted.

The worst company ever (after British Gas) stay away, They don’t reply to your emails or calls, they lie to you, yes!I was told I need to take this appointment for repairs that wasn’t convenient for me at all because there are none left or I will have to wait for end of inspection appointment (which was another 6 months and I was already waiting for that repair for 6 months!! Yes , that’s how long it took them to deal with it) then two days later after speaking to the manager and telling them I will report them suddenly loads of appointments available. Useless company and people that work for it, my 8 year old nephew would do a better job and that’s not just my opinion, higher percentage of one star than any others tells you something. I reported my last repair ( I still reported in my one year period) and they were trying to tell me it’s too late!! Because they left it too late with the builders!! Over a year living in the property my all repairs are still not done When you report them to housing omnibus they suddenly start working, (still not the best) I wonder why I can go on and on this L&Q don’t bother replying, not interested in your useless excuses , because that’s what you will give me STAY AWAY

Honestly I am fed up with their service. Very unreliable and rubbish service that you ever come across. I have two you young kids (1 SEN child) & really difficult to explain to them why they can’t take a shower as usual! I’m literally fighting for my boiler to be fixed for weeks. Have no hot water or heating for several weeks now and they keep sending swale heating who are even more rubbish service than L & Q. They keep booking appointments with swale heating but don’t send the appointment details to swale so I’m waiting desperately at home all day and no one turns up!!! Calling them and asking to speak with a senior but no senior is taking calls!!! So much more to say but honestly I’m FED UP!!!!

It has been a very wonderful and positive experience with L&Q in their quest to provide us with a suitable and permanent home. Our encounter with L&Q was under one week and as luck will have it, we were invited for viewing and the rest is history because right that day we love the property, the condussiveness of the environment and more importantly the L&Q staffs that dealt with us from Toby, Margaret and Kat (Supported Housing Officers) for their immeasurable efforts and support in making our dream to come to reality. My wife and I value and appreciate them all. L&Q IS SECOND TO NONE 💯👍👍👍🙌🤝

A company of robbers at this point

A company of robbers at this point, they keep sending me letters claiming I owe them money because I have a TP1 property, but I have a TR1, so I have no idea what they're talking about. After clarifying the issue, they just sent me a copy of an extract from a document that I don’t recognize, let alone signed or seen before, claiming it shows I have an obligation to them. What a joke. This is the second year I’ve felt harassed by them. STOP SENDING ME LETTERS.

0 stars it gets worse

If I could give 0 stars I would.Iv been waiting for a repair since February to this stupid patio door and have had to take 5 days in total off work and yet every time they don't have the part or it's in a different country. Why fit doors where you can't even get the part no more. Have had a nightmare dealing with this. They are so quick to take rent and service charge and boost it up every year but for what? For someone to push a few bins outside once a week. Iv now resorted to writing it on here as I am fed up with l&q repairs team. It is a health a safety issues that they continue to ignore or fob me off with poor excuses. UPDATE ######So after again telling me that they are coming to fix the door today the 27/09/24 between 12 and 5 they have just called and informed me that they can not carry out any work today as the engineer has now gone home basically. This is the 6th day iv taken off from work and they have given me a new date of the 25/10/24. This is a joke and then the customer service has the cheek to say don't shout (I didn't as I'm sure the call is recorded) so much stress for a simple door fix

I am not satisfied

I am not satisfied. When I moved into this home, I found out that the bathroom was not working and I started calling and complaining many times. They send me useless people who do nothing, they just come and look and leave. and so for six months now I have been living without a bathroom which is unhygienic and unhealthy. and I am already depressed. I pay high rent for these miserable conditions and it is not easy for a widow like me. I am not satisfied with the attitude towards me. It is a mockery that I have been without a bathroom for six months.

Bad communication and slow responses on urgent matters

Moving experience was not smooth at all. We had very poor communication coming from the agency, they could not let us know which move in date we will have. First, the gas certificate was not ready after two weeks since we first started the process of renting. Safety certificates should be a standard matter done when a property is out on the market. We were told they could not get in touch with the property manager, reason being our contract couldn’t be send. On our move in date, during the morning the agent mentioned furniture may be delayed and move in date was not defined (on ‘MOVING’ day ). This was extremely concerning and not considerate, we had to move out our past accommodation that day, we have rented a van for the moving, booked a day-off work to do so too. We finally got the contract at midday after dealing with issues as well from IT, we got the keys that day at 5pm. The furniture was being delivered as we arrived. After the first few days we have encountered several and concerning issues in the flat. There’s a leak coming from the roof in one of the bedrooms, the washing machine does not work, the lock of the main door was not working, to mention some.It has been extremely frustrating, stressful, time-consuming and disappointing process from day one. We have been very patient and understanding but sadly this has not been reciprocated by the agency.

Absoloute terrible company to deal…

Absoloute terrible company to deal with!! I have 2 outstanding complaints with them with one now going to the ombudsman and the other awaiting escalation to stage 2. L&Q are completely incompetent of doing things correctly. There communication is non existent and you have to keep chasing them. My first complaint and for any works to be carried out has been outstanding since 03/01/2024. The complaint handlers are absolutely useless all they do is say they will contact people and get back to you with an update but they never do. They avoid escalating complaints with excuses. They send people out for appointments only for them to say they can't do the work as it needs to be done by another company leaving you to wait considerably longer for the works to be done. I have roof leaks coming through my bathroom and bedroom which has still not been fully resolved and the person dealing with this is just not responding to any emails or call backs. I was left without a hot water tank for 3 weeks while waiting to have plastering work done which is already wet from the outstanding roof leaks which should have been completed first. During the period of no hot water tank I had a leak down into my kitchen and had to report an emergency plumber and electrician. Electrician came and was very good, however the plumber never attended and we as tenants are meant to have faith in 24 hour EMERGENCY call outs!! Disgrace of a company. Those who are considering buying or renting from L&Q should save their sanity more than anything as this company only adds to depression and anxiety.

They SHAMELESSLY slam backdated service charges of 2,000 GBP claiming they "Underestimated" costs on homes/apartments they advertised as "affordable".Wonder how they run their affordability test when people spend more than half their wages on these falling in the trap.They claim to be a charitable organisation yet the salaries of the maangement board combines is 1 million GBP and they themselves live in fancy houses whereas Shared Owners trapped by their false sales cant even afford to staircase.And to top it all the services they charge you for are not provided at all and they keep blaming the managing agent and the agent blames them Its all a joke now.AVOID AT ALL COSTS

No Service. Charge

To whom it may concern Since moving into our new home at ** ******** Road SE23 *** I have endeavoured to improve and maintain the property. 663 days ago.The rear French patio doors were not secure, so they had to be carefully taken out, treated, a new weatherboard and base frame replaced all before we left to visit ****** family overseas.The two landing windows were literally painted shut and locked by a screw and the bedroom windows in our children’s rooms were so rotten that I had to ‘make do’ before our departure. The front door jammed and a gale blew through the property due to so many gaps from shoddy workmanship combined with our front bedroom bay window being so rotten I could literally stick a finger through the brittle framework.***** visited on Monday 9th October 2023 to survey the aforementioned windows, I remember distinctly him commenting how friendly and polite I was as most L&Q tenants are abusive… This was 351 days ago.***** said after a thorough observation of the property that all the windows were not safe and all needed replacing, a colleague would be out the ‘measure up’ the frames and a 10 week production-fit turnaround would mean a January 2024 replacement.L&Q don’t fix security lights, mow lawns, cut hedges, fix fences, paint or maintain anything at all at ** ** ******* Road because I do it all, so what service for our monthly fees do L&Q actually provide us exactly?This latest email is to inform L&Q that not only is our ground floor bedroom window so rotten that the glazing does not have any timber holding the pane in place, so it’s a matter of time before the glass drops out all in good time for Winter. To add to this my eldest child who is studying for their GCSEs and being assessed for ADHD opened their broken sash window as they was simply too warm during the night and wanted some air, I had strictly said that as both theirs and their sibling’s windows are rotten suggested keeping them closed.I spent over an hour on Sunday fixing a jammed window that could quite easily dropped a storey below and shattered as the beading has not only broken off but the outer frame is like pastry.So we are now so desperate for these replacement timber sash double glazed windows looking to order the replacements because L&Q don’t seem to provide any productive service that we pay for each month. The fact an EVRI delivery person fractured their hip seems to be of no concern to any of the members of staff and the woman who is mother to 5 children aims to have EVRI’s legal team reach out to your ‘in house’ legal team, but again nobody cares.Our semi-detached home is not a new build, a block of flats, or apartments where trades people come and maintain the upkeep of the premises, we’re private and after nearly two years of nothing but false hopes, people passing the buck from department to department are informing you we are moving forward with this issue ourselves, which I am sure looking at how slap-dash the previous work done a bullet dodged.This is our family home, we have a near teenager with diagnosed Autism and another being assessed and studying for their finals, all the windows rattle, let out heat, let in noise and now I am writing yet another email which probably won’t get any response, or maybe the fact I am taken it upon myself to get this done could mean a reply and no progress.Please stop sending us letters saying we owe more service charge money, because we are yet to receive any kind of service from your company L&Q.I am getting quotes next week and will be proceeding with the replacement thereafter.

Useless thieves

Had a phone call last week from L&Q asking if I would be in to give the contractor access to the garden wall.I received a text message 'an operative was on his way' to me an hour ago. After 30 mins I called them because nobody had shown up. I was told someone had attended and taken photos of the wall to send to the surveyors. He could have let me know. I was expecting them to start repairing the wall.So now I am waiting again. Let's hope it doesn't take them another 3 years!!!No doubt I shall get a message from L&Q to contact them and get no reply when I do. I am still waiting for complaints to be dealt with by these people. Totally useless thieves, (service charge).

Wayne, the Swale engineer, was a superstar.

Reported central heating failure to L&Q on 11th Sept who booked the repair for 12th Sept then cancelled it on the 12th and rebooked it for 13th Sept. superb. So much for being on their priority list. The Swale engineer was really professional. The boiler required a part which he did not have but after a couple of phone calls located one, then went and collected it.The repair was completed with no fuss or stress on his part, and with total empathy.A true example of total customer satisfaction.

L&Q doesn't want to spend money to fix anything and we tents are being lied to told different stories every week. Now it's been 9 months, I have kids who are constantly sick because L&Q keeping us with no hot water and no heating that actually works all the time. SHAME ON L&Q & VITAL ENERGY!!!!

L&Q problems

You get some receptionist that are good and have great customer service, some are very rude, inexperienced and talk over you. They booked appointments for 5/6 months, abd the job is not properly done. Most of the workers they sent categorically told us that is not their field or an assessment need to be don by someone else, or different parts needs to be ordered. When you chase L&Q fir the job to be completed, then they will lied in your face that the job was reported as completed 🤔. They've gone downhill.

Renewal of the worktops in our kitchen

The maintenance men from L & Q did a very good job in replacing the worktops in the kitchen which looks very nice now. However, they left the remains of the old worktops in the walkway of our property and they haven't been removed as yet.I've made two calls to L & Q about them and even completed an online complaint but nothing has been done. I'm not happy about this at all because the entrance to the house looks unsightly.

L&Q please don’t patronise me with your…

L&Q please don’t patronise me with your fake concerned response to my last post!!!I continued to urge everyone to post on Trustpilot take your complaints about L&Q to The Ombudsman and go to Social Media, contact your local MP, our voices must be heard!!!!!! L&Q are NOT saddened to hear of the noise nuisance and ASB we are suffering from our neighbours because L&Q have known about this for the past decade and you have done absolutely nothing and L&Q absolutely does NOT sympathise with us at all. The CEO of L&Q Fiona didn’t care, neither did The Area Manager Paul or The Head Of Housing Angela and The Director Kristian, Neighbourhood Leads do absolutely nothing, nobody at L&Q cares and we are deliberately ignored all the time. L&Q this is more than just upsetting for us to pay rent to live underneath L&Q’s disgusting out of control ASB tenants who make our lives a living hell. Oh please, it is not worrying for you to hear that my neighbours physically fight each other because I have been reporting this to L&Q and you do and say nothing about it, so please stop pretending your concerned for Trustpilot. Stop shirking your responsibility as Landlords by trying to pass this problem on to other bodies. L&Q are meant make sure their tenants live in peace in their own home and you are meant to enforce the tenancy agreement against tenants that are causing others misery and yet L&Q refuses to do this every single time, L&Q won’t even contact the perpetrators, absolutely disgusting Landlords. L&Q advise their decent tenants to go and approach their volatile ASB problem tenants themselves, putting themselves at risk by doing L&Q’s job for them, while L&Q do nothing. L&Q have not provided any help and support and you are more than happy to let us continue to suffer and for our health to deteriorate. Anyone wanting to purchase or become a L&Q tenant will regret it, do yourself a favour and RUN!!!!!I continued to urge everyone to post reviews on Trustpilot take your complaints about L&Q to The Ombudsman, go to Social Media and contact your local MP, our voices must be heard!!!!!!
