TrustpilotGas safety check for L and Q tennan
I have had to call swale back as the boiler is showing an error code I cannot cancel . The light was flashing on the boiler previously however the gas engineer said he had fixed this but it is still flashing. Bow heating comes on randomly and I can't alter the boiler times etc

Don't buy shared ownership from L&Q - they do not fix snags. I have moved in since May 2024 and up till now, snags reported during the Home Welcome tour were not fixed, despite filing a complaint. I have followed up multiple times via email but they do not reply.(L&Q CRM:048290000265)

TrustpilotPoor building management
Poor building managementDispute between L&Q and FirstPort resulting key building parts not being maintained, high service charges, poor interior maintenance.I would have bought a flat without L&Q if I knew what I'm signing up for in the beginning. It would have been cheaper from a service charge perspective and building would have been better maintained.

TrustpilotOverall I am reasonably with L&Q
Overall I am reasonbly with L&Q. However, they don't follow up properly. They have started a so called new initiative to try to get tenants (and I assume leaseholders) to do their job. I was going to join but have decided it's just lip service and an abdication of responsibility. I had a new front door fitted before Christmas which is a disaster. I didn't get what was promised in their confirmation letter but no doubt the sub-contractor has charged them for everything which I have had to buy myself. They were supposed to arrange ti prune my trees (which I did not plant). Someone came to look and I haven't seen them since - no update!

The worst decision I have ever made for my family was moving into a L&Q property.no heating or hot water for years. Unsafe entry into my flat ie doors open for addicts to do drugs in front my door. Stuck hear for ten years and overcrowded with zero chance of a move as can't find anyone on swap sites that want a L&Q property. And can't tell you how much holiday time I have used up waiting for engineers that never turn up but L&Q say i refused entry to the engineer. At rent just short of £1000 it's a nightmare that I would not recommend to my worst enemy.

TrustpilotThe worst managing agent
The worst managing agent. They cannot cope with the number of properties and repairs they have. Instead of allowing home owners to fix issues they use the leases against them causing more damage to properties. Appalling company and service. 7 years and my issues are unresolved and continue to get worse.

They need to keep the appointment date that a tenant has been given. If the appointment cannot be kept for a good reason, then the tenant should be contacted as soon as possible to let them know so they do not waste a whole day waiting in for someone who is not going to turn up.

TrustpilotMaintenance services going downhill
From my recent experiences they really are going downhill: communal gardens are running wild because the gardeners (grounds crew) don't turn up; exposed electrical cables in the communal area reported to our housing lead months ago but not scheduled to be dealt with until end of July; and, a general lack of proactive feedback/update on other repairs (faulty communal gates). So much for the improved services we were promised when L&Q reorganised its neighbourhood management last year.

GoogleMakes you wait 1 hour on hold, only to be told that you have called the wrong team to address your problem, and will not redirect your call, just expects you to wait on hold again, and then the right team might say they cannot help you. If they can help, it will take months for them to get anything done over email, so in attempt to speed up the process, you can try calling up (expect being on hold forever all over again, because they only share one generic number for all issues) and referencing your email, but they will struggle to find the email you want to discuss. I cannot believe we pay L&Q such an expensive service charge. My flatmate has taken annual leave to let a plumber in on the day that L&Q says they are sending one round, and they haven't shown up, 3 times in a row. We have not had a properly functioning boiler for a year.

TrustpilotDreadful Housing Association in most respects
In the years I've been a tenant with them, and discussed issues with other tenants, L&Q staff have (with occasional exceptions, who usually leave L&Q quickly!) apparently provided poorly-skilled, fairly incapable and uncaring staff, especially within their Housing Services. Where staff seem to be keen on their position of supposed power, when in reality, they are paid by tenants to provide decent services. (With tenants claiming experiences of negligence or even behaviour suggestive of bullying). The L&Q Direct / Customer Services staff tend to be better, but sometimes make mistakes in recording details in their notes - When tenants contact them, to raise a variety of issues. L&Q further dis-empower tenants by not providing them with a copy of notes made by those staff - The record of comments made by the tenant wanting to report an issue (maintenance or tenancy). This means tenants cannot check the notes & refer back to them if necessary. (L&Q will only give the notes, if a tenant makes a formal application for a record! As if someone will do that every time they report a maintenance issue etc!). There are usually big waiting times for flat maintenance work, and have been over many years, even for quite urgent issues. With appts often cancelled at the last minute, even when someone has used work time to sit at home! Long term & serious anti-social issues are routinely not dealt with, causing great harm to health of other tenants. L&Q also use an over-complex & very confusing complaints system - Involving general poor communication with tenants. L&Q frequently change 'logos' / advertising strap lines and staff job titles, and make promises to improve their paid for services, but conditions & services for their tenants have been deteriorating rather than improving. They claim to listen to tenants, but this seems to be a rare thing indeed! Have been in the news several times, for serious issues including death caused, but this is just a tip of the iceberg sadly, as many tenants know.
