Good apartment. More communications are appreciated.

I have just moved-in to a rental property. The flat is very clean and well maintained, even tho the communal corridor is smelly all the time... I had a good experience with the negotiator, she was very responsive, and helped me in finding a flat that I want very quickly. However, my experience with the tenancy progression team was the opposite. I have sent through all the documents 5 weeks before my move-in date after I've been asked to, then there were no responses/feedbacks or not even a confirmation from the tenancy progression team. They don't reply much to emails and phones until 1-week before my move-in date. I received my contract 2 days before the move-in. I was quite worry before that, especially after reading some reviews here about application being rejected last minute. I would appreciate to have some more updates throughout the whole application process. Other than that, everything is fine. Everyone that I've spoken to in L&Q are polite and nice.

The gentleman was was on time

The gentleman was was on time, actually early, which was great. I’d already had 1 say he visited but went to wrong location So the next visit was great even though the time between the 2 visits was to long as I couldn’t use my bathroom sink for 2 months. Very pleased with the second visit

The gas engineer was really good and done everything that needed doing but I'm sorry l&q are really not good with my family and my house as there is 4 disabled people and all together there is 6 of us living in a 2-bed groundfloor flat so in that respect l&q are not very respectful

Hi Danny,Thank you so much for taking time to leave us a review.We’re pleased you’ve had a 5-star experience with our gas contractor and we’re thankful to you for letting us know how everything went for you.We’d also like to thank you for sharing your housing situation with us, we can imagine the difficulties it must be for you all and we sympathise with situation you’re in.As you may already be aware, we unfortunately made the decision to close our housing transfer option due to the high demand for housing. Sadly, we were finding this option to be a very long process whereby our residents were waiting many years for a suitable property to become available that met their needs.Having said this there are other options you may wish to explore and we’re seeing many residents moving successfully via a mutual exchange which is also deemed to be the quickest way to move. You may already be aware of this option but further details about the scheme are available on our website or by following the link provided below - we hope you find the information helpful. https://help.lqgroup.org.uk/help/tenant/housing-options/mex-how-toAlternatively, you’re more than welcome to seek housing advice from your local authority. We strongly recommend you reach out to them to further discuss your concerns as they may also be able to help with your housing needs.If of course we can be of further help or if you have any questions, by all mean please reach out to us and we’ll be sure to provide help and support wherever we can.

L&Q shared-ownership rip off

I live in a L&Q shared-ownership property, and the service charge has increased from £125 a month when we moved in to almost £500 a month from 1 April, 2 years later. It’s a rip off and a trap, L&Q know full well what they are doing when they sell these “affordable” flats to innocent victims.

As you may already be aware service charges are reviewed annually and whilst we do our utmost to keep the costs as minimal as possible, the cost of living unfortunately has an impact on the cost of services we also provide.If of course you have any questions or worries regarding the services and their charges, please do let us know by email at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk (with ‘Trustpilot’ as your email subject) and our dedicated team here will raise your enquires to the relevant team for you.Many ThanksCustomer Service Team

Just got a email back from L&Q regards my back fences panels which I paid for I cannot put them up because I am wheelchair bound I ask L&Q if they can put them up for me but the answer was NO this makes there claims on there website " that we are committed to our disabled tenants " why a load of old bull they told me to get onto Age UK and ask them to put it up ,now my back garden is now open to all and me at risk I think the word discriminating against disabled tenants comes to mind ,shame on you L&Q.

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi Mick,Thank you for your review.We appreciate you sharing your concerns with us and we're sorry to hear you're unhappy with our decision not to install the new fence panels you've recently purchased.We hear your disappointment and we would like to make you aware that we can still carry our fencing repairs for you. This is providing the fence in question borders a communal garden where more than one resident has access to the same garden. We'll also repair boundary fences on individual gardens and by this we mean fencing and gates which separate the garden from a public area. Unfortunately diving fences which separates your own garden from your neighbours garden would be the responsibility of our residents to repair or replace as needed.If your fence is a boundary fence and not deemed as a dividing fence, please let us know and we'll look into this further for you. Unfortunately we do not offer a handy person service to install fence panels purchased by our residents, but we appreciate the difficulties you could encounter trying to do this yourself,. However, we can help by providing some suggestions of other organisations who can provide a handyperson service to do this for you.This is by no means meant to make you feel as though we're discriminating our residents, we're just working inline with our repairs policy and the terms and conditions as set out in your tenancy agreement.We're here to help you and if you have any further questions, please contact us and it'll be our pleasure to do so.Many ThanksCustomer Service Team

Fence damaged by storm Eunice

Our fence was blown down and damaged during storm Eunice, unable to get a reply by emailing L & Q on Friday 18/02/2022. Spoke to tenant next door and she was told L & Q will not repair it, how can we repair it, we are 69 and 74 years old both have health problems,and live on our pensions, the lady next door is a single mum with two children, the fence that is still standing has poles trying to keep it up. This is unacceptable to be told we cannot help you even if the properties are L & Q and are both social housing properties. I The storm in our area reached 90miles an hour, as we are by the coast, and 10mins from the beach.If the fence falls on someone you will have questions to answer, I believe this fence could be a danger to life.

Took me 4 months to get heating and hot water. LQ have been truly negligent of me in those bitterly cold months. It will take some doing to get over those trying times. Mentally and physically. I hope L& Q operate in a more humane and professional way. I wish noone goes through what I did.

Took 2 years to fix a gutter. But they now found a fault with a different gutter. Put scaffolding up 3 months ago and haven't come back to actually fix the issue. Every dealing with them is long, laborious and stressful, to the point I give up.

Got to be the worst association ever

Got to be the worst association ever! I am currently writing this review while an operative has been sitting in his van for the last 1hr 30mins! Meant to be fixing the kitchen ceiling due to a water leak back in october/November... he looked at the ceiling and said its actually a 2 man job and has been trying to get hold of his supervisor to figure out what to do! Still waiting for scaffolding to go up for re rendering of outside of house to start but nothing...this was reported around the same time as the leak! Was told to call scaffolders myself to follow up...really not my job to be chasing after your contractors! Seems to me they really do not have the tenants as a priority ( unless it's for rent ) shameful association!

Do not buy a property of L&Q are managing the facility. When you buy the property the management fee will sound fair. The following year the charge will increase by 50-60%.

One bedroom Flat

The whole process was very overwhelming and exhausting as i am self employed ie contracting. But i eventually got the flat after going back and forth.

Apart from the hot water

Apart from the hot water, I was told again last year that the front gates would been fitted in Feb 24 to help stop people sitting on the front door-step (which they still are) and although I came to L&Q 1-3-24 it would be classed as a priority case it still has not been done.

Mixed satisfaction

Your caller centre staff are professional and helpful. Repairs and Tenancy matter are not dealt with efficiently and Tenants have to keep chasing matters up. This is both time consuming and frustrating.Communication and updates on why repairs are not carried out on time would be useful. More Saturday appointments need to be available and timescales for appointments and repairs need to be reduced.
