L&Q, Creating places , (they mean GHETTOS) WE DONT WANT TO LIVE IN is their Moto, yeah , right ! !

HOW THE HELL HAVE THEY GOT 3 STARS!! THE LOWEST YOU CAN GIVE IS 1, THEY DESERVE NONE , AND THEY KNOW IT ~had the unfortunate luck of them being my landlords now for years, Beacon before them were much better. they reduce services, leave homes moldy and gardens overgrown and estates rough looking , yet they want to make money from their residents too, by fining residents for parking outside their homes, as they make a commission on every ticket their crooks at CPM give out to their residents. we are only allow resident parking, no visitors, so WE ARE NOT ALLOWED GUESTS IN THE EVENINGS OR WEEKENDS, AT ALL! NEVER / EVER/ NO EXCEPTION, Surely, that cant be legal, goes against human rights. they've given a GP on call a ticket, an AA Van and even went to ticket an ambulance last week ! all while the car park was empty! oh and not to mention if your car has snow covering it, theyll ticket you for not displaying ! L&Q have become a slum landlord , dont forget there is a Protest outside their london office some time over the next week, so lets get them back in the Guardian News as one of the UK's worst performing housing associations in the country. ! they are disgusting and its just getting worse. shame on you, SHAME!

We had a wonderful experience viewing the 3 bedroom homes at The Quarry, Erith. The build quality is excellent, with thoughtful design throughout and impressive modern features like heat pumps and solar panels. We were especially impressed by how energy efficient everything felt. Anna, was incredibly warm and welcoming, she took the time to answer all our questions and made sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision. A genuinely positive experience all around.

Very Poor Communication

The communication between departments is at an all time low. There is no collaboration and it leaves trades people and tenants in a difficult position.

Please be careful when considering a property via this company. From the very beginning I have experienced nothing but trouble and difficulty. In addition, they not only hiked service charges 400% for this year, they made accounting mistakes the previous year and are now pursuing all tennants for the costs of their mistakes. It is causing nothing but stress, upset, and financial hardship. Wished I had listened to previous reviews.

I telephoned L&Q today (Thursday 28th March) at 16:10hrs and reported an overflowing and blocked toilet. After agreeing the £70.00 charge against my rent account I was told I'd have to wait until Tuesday 2nd April for a plumber to attend. I am registered as priority tenant, under the auspices of L&Q's Resident Support Team, HOUSEBOUND and registered disabled with a multitude of complex health conditions, two of which require constant access to the WC. All of this was conveyed when I made my report today, to no avail.I have only one toilet, which is not working. I was told to use a friend's toilet (despite my being housebound!!). It looks like I'll be sharing my cat's litter tray for four days!! Totally out of order and unacceptable.

Hi Simone,We welcome your review, and we thank you for sharing your experience with us here.We apologise profusely for the disappointing experience you initially had with us and we understand why the whole situation was a worry for you too.Having investigated this further we can see the original appointment was cancelled and another visit was arranged for an emergency plumber whereby we offer a timeframe of approximately 4 hours for an operative to attend. We can see the plumber was in attendance as planned and the issue causing the blockage has since been resolved but if for any reason you're still experiencing the same issue, please kindly let us know and we'll be more than happy to help.We're reachable via any of your preferred channels or our dedicated team can be reached by email at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk where we kindly request 'Trustpilot' is mentioned in the subject line of your email.

L&Q are unreliable landlords

L&Q are always keen to take rent payments but are not the greatest landlord and attending to repair things in the property or cater for people who work, so arrangements are usually inconvenient. I feel it would be more beneficial to tenants if L&Q were more willing to maintain their properties to a better standard instead of constantly increasing the rent but not increasing their customer service

L&Q is one of the worst company

L&Q is one of the worst company. I am tenant at one of L&Q properties and I would like to share some concerns about the services so other people don’t fall in trap. Repeated delays in addressing maintenance, communication from customer services team is often slow, unclear, untrustworthy and unprofessional. I hope L&Q will take these concerns seriously and work towards improving the quality of service for its tenants.

Just the worst

Just the worst. Complaints are not taken seriously, not followed up. You are sent in loops trying to get anything accomplished and then nothing is resolved. I have seen numerous bad reports about this company in the press and they clearly don’t care/they are making so much profit that they have decided that providing a proper service doesn’t matter. Please avoid this company if you can.

Quick service

Only had to wait a few days for the appointed date, repair man arrived on time, got straight to work and finished in no time. He was polite and professional. Another point is that when he left the house to go to his van he always closed the door after himself, which is much appreciated as i have a house cat and also you never know who is lurking around these days.

L&Q a complete mixed bag .. some good but mostly poor

L&Q do not treat tenants the same as others.. some houses are brought up to date whilst others (like mine) are just side-lined time and time again.. No new kitchen despite being told in 2018 we would then no record of it.. told that after our back garden had undergone drainage works, the fences would be replaced and the ground levelled... none of that happened and we are still flooding now.. again they have no record... the rents have gone through the roof and we are living with damp and mould which is going to be looked at tomorrow.. The star is because the social media staff are very helpful and understanding...

Agent replied · 22 October 2024

Hi Deborah,Thank you for your review and for taking time to bring your concerns to our attention.We’re extremely sorry to hear there’s a number of issues that are concerning for you and we apologise profusely if we’ve failed to provide you with the help you were hoping to receive from us.As you may already be aware, planned maintenance programmes for component renewals (such as new kitchens and bathrooms etc) are carried out on a yearly basis and we use the information from a stock condition survey we previously carried out on your home. The information from the survey helps us to understand and identify the properties that are most in need therefore it’s not unusual to see your home on a different programme to your neighbours. This is quite often the case, and we can truly say it wasn’t our intentions to make you feel as though some residents are treated differently, it just means your home will be on a different programme of works within a different year, but we certainly sympathise with your frustration and the upset this has caused.We’re also sorry to hear of the flooding issues as well as the mould and damp and we certainly understand why both issues are an additional worry for you too. It’s great a visit has already been arranged to assess the mould and damp and we look forward to receiving our contractors report so we can further address the problems that is causing this to happen.In the meantime, we’re most grateful for your kind words for our social media team, they truly are an amazing team, and we’re delighted you’re loving the service you receive from them as well.Furthermore, if there’s any more we can do to help, you’re more than welcome to contact us by email at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk (with ‘Trustpilot’ as your email subject) where our dedicated team will be more than happy to help with any concerns or enquiries you may have.Many ThanksCustomer Service Team

Incomplete repairs should be logged and informed. Also tenants should be made aware of next steps. No one contact me to say how rodents are going to be dealt with.

Explain why you are raising service…

Explain why you are raising service charge by 25%!!!!????? This is meant to be affordable housing. You are now taking over 1 month salary a year in services charges for no services. You are pricing me out of my home. I have no choice now but to leave. You have ruined my life EDIT: I have emailed you a few times now, but you so far have ignored all of the emails. The lift in my block that has been broke since August last year was only fixed yesterday (7 months later) and there are constant heat and hot water outages in the entire block due to plant room failure. These are just a couple of issues that there is literally 0 care about from L&Q as a freeholder. There should be penalties for this, NOT more more awards for literally doing nothing.

If it was possible to rate lower than a one star I would try to rate lower than that imagine calling your landlords multiple times when you move in asking them who do you pay bills to and everyone that works for them telling you to wait for letters and you wait 2years to get a electric bill thats now 2400 pounds I debt and them telling you its all your fault, I was abandon by my mother when I was 16, live on the street for 2years moved into a hostel for 2 years then was back on the street till I was taken into hospital before being moved back into a hotel with hard addition and vulnerable adults, , then i move in here with L&Q as my landlords that couldn't offer myself any help or understanding they are scum please avoid them at all cost

No hot water and heating for 48 hours

Left without hot water and heating for over 48 hours by these criminals (Monday 25 November to wednesday 28th November) . Absolutely diabolical. Landlord Tenant Act 1985 states loss of heating and hot water is an emergency and should be fixed within 24 hours, 72 hours is a pure lie. Please check your facts and your own website.

Hi Jerry,Thank you for taking the time to share your dissatisfaction with us.We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced with your heating and hot water.

Quite often, depending on availability, an engineer's visit can be carried out sooner.We sincerely hope all is well with your heating and hot water, but if you're still experiencing issues, please let us know.In the meantime, we'll be sure to share your feedback. Your input certainly helps us to understand where an improved service would be welcomed by our residents.
