L&Q are all the share holders profit and not the tenants

I would like to say that ever since L&Q became in charge of the housing association it has been one big joke. had a flood from the upstairs over 10 years ago still not been fixed as contractor said he doesn’t hang wallpaper. Now I’ve had damp patch in bathroom that has made the wall to start to crumble contracted come and can’t fix it as he was willing to work in the flat above as it was very unhealthy for him to work in the flat. Just received attachment from my complaint saying that the service charge is for having the windows cleaned. Which I have never had my windows clean since I moved in on May 2005. I would attach photos but link for this.

Wish I could give minus stars

Wish I could give minus stars. Moved in on the 9th September 2023. A large scratch was running across the grain in my living and kitchen area. It was immediately visible and reported the same day. I did not have any furniture at this point and was an empty room. Fast forward 13 months, I have been pushed pillar to post with different contractors coming round to look at this, L&Q have sent multiple people round to find someone who can “buff it out”. This is a money avoidance way of trying not to replace it. As per all 4 contractors that have come round…. It is not something they can buff out it needs totally replacing. Mohammed at L&Q has since not replied to my emails, not followed up with any of the men they have sent to my property and I have wasted 4 afternoons of annual leave to make the appointments. Never ever buy with l&q. Don’t get me started on the poor quality of build and noise transfer.

Not fit for purpose. Still a bunch of thieves.

I had an email from ms st Fort who is our new NHL . She was supposed to have dealt with the service charge and the missing payments to me by today, it is her non working day. Nothing. It was too much to expect these people to keep their word.I did get in touch with the people who reply to these posts as well. Nothing.The system that L&Q uses is not fit for purpose.I have now been in touch with the housing ombudsman.I would like to know how they got charity status.By the way L&Q do not reply saying you know how frustrated I feel. YOU DON'T !!! if you did you would have rectified this by now or replied to me telling what you were doing to sort these issues out to the satisfaction of all concerned. 7/10/24 do these people actually read any of these reviews. See below as to why I am asking.

And this is why I continue to post everything publicly

Over a year later and me reporting it numerous times ....we still have no lighting in our main large car park or right outside our main front door but yet we are being charged in our weekly service fees for communal electricity. Nevermind the fact it compromises my safety.And I'm still listening to the people in flat 5 beneath me... walk across their floor so heavily that it shakes my walls. So when I call you out at cost to you to repair the cracks in my home.... that's your business.Just like I had to do in my bathroom to stop the smell of cannabis coming up into my home .. from theirs

L&Q extreme awful repair service.

L&Q and their contractors are the most incompetent with lack of process to fix the waste pipe blockage, even though the waste water is upraising from the above flat. The contractors and L&Q are not bothered to get the issue resolve. Spend all day yesterday chasing L&Q to try and speak to supervisors for an update and the customer services adviser (Pamela) send email to various persons in the senior leadership team but no avail and no communication up till now.

My home is full of damp

My home is full of damp. This will affect our healths.My cupboards are rotten with damp and coming off the walls in the kitchen. My bathroom is a mess it leaks and damp.Gap under floor boards and floor is so huge that mouse travel through. The house does not hold heat . Cowboy jobs only from LQ is a terrible service. Surveyors have come to my property telling am getting a new kitchen and bathroom and nothing every year. I have been living here for nearly 20 years and this house is rotting. Hackney council has given their properties new kitchen and bathrooms twice and nothing from LQ . Bad bad service .

Avoid at all costs!!

Giving 1 star simply because I cannot leave 0.By far the worst 'landlords' ever. They do not care for tenants at all. They do not uphold any of their responsibilities as a landlord. They do not listen to or even acknowledge their tenants. You want to report a repair or issue? Don't bother. Honestly. You will be ignored. I've had no bathroom basin for 10 months, I have health issues and 2 dependents live with me (one under the age of 5).I've had multiple contractors submit reports to L&Q stating new windows and skylight are needed as the current ones are outdated and dangerous. They ignore these reports. My estate had no neighbourhood lead for 8 months, if you contacting to ask who we should be contacting, always a different name but none of them ever replied. The area manager.... I'm not sure she is aware how emails or telephones work as she never responds. Local MP contacted an employer even higher than area manager....she lied through her teeth to him saying there were leads visiting the estate. We pay a service charge for the upkeep of the 'Office'....an office none of the leads who have shown their face here were even aware of and is in fact used by a completely different company. Avoid these at all costs....even if you are desperate for housing. They will make your life a misery.

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

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!!!

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.
