Fantastic

To be honest, the whole experience has been great. From the first viewing with Deanne, through very regular dealings with Tamika, everything's gone very smoothly. Tamika has always been quick to respond and extremely helpful. The process was well explained from the beginning, and no nasty surprises along the way.

Another day people who don't live in…

1.Another day people who don't live in our building are using our private car park... I literally watched the man park up and walk to the building estate across the road from us.So well done for keep retaining the services of a Parking Management Company who does nothing to PREVENT people from using our parking spaces given we live on a road with parking restrictions now so when we can't park here as residents and some of us PAY out of our pockets to live here... we can't even park on the road without being fined by the council.2.23:48 check your cameras l&q see who just came into this building into flat 5 just as I was putting my head on my pillow to sleep!!Same ole late night noise we're expected to overhear from our flats/bedrooms.3.Funny how many of us residents are reporting the same issues with you L&Q.4.You keep telling us to email you with 'Trustpilot' in the subject line...and then...zero response!5.Almost £16 extra you are making from me A WEEK with jack support for ongoing anti-social behaviour...shoddy/irregular cleaning (which is why the previous logs have been removed from the communal board to hide evidence of wks with no cleaning here - yet we are being charged weekly)...insecure/not changed main front door for over 22yrs... and more.

Hi Seyoum,We welcome your review and we thank you for taking the time in sharing your most recent experience with us.Rest assured we've taken onboard your feedback and we offer our apology for any upset our letters have caused you.Regrettably as gas safety inspections are a legal requirement it’s essential and important for us to ensure we’re complying. With this in mind, sadly these letters are automatically generated from our system and we're unable to prevent them from being sent. However, we appreciate receiving these letters can be quite upsetting, but it's certainly wouldn't be our intentions to cause you to feel this way and we’re very sorry.Thank you for also sharing with us the service you received from our contractor and we're deeply sorry to learn you had an unhelpful experience. This certainly isn’t what we expect to hear, and we apologise profusely for the experience had but we’ve certainly noted your dissatisfaction regarding this.If of course there’s anything further we can do to help or if you wish to discuss your review in more detail with us, we’ll be more than willing to do so.You’re more than welcome to reach out to our dedicated team at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk where one of our helpful advisors will gladly help with any concerns you may have. It’ll be most helpful for us as well if ‘Trustpilot’ is used as your email subject on this occasion.Many ThanksCustomer Service Team

That's on top of their loud footsteps ...noise in their kitchen and doors slamming ...since 10p.m. As per usual, no regard for the rest of us living here who might want to be asleep by now!Once again.And the same thing the very next night 29th... and your cameras will clearly show her coming in this building late at night.

Unhelpful company quick to take rent and increase prices but not so quick to help or clarify what they actually cover for on shared ownership once the snag period has elapsed. Service charge apparently for grounds upkeep in the area and not seen the grounds kept in months.

Hi Louise,Thank you so much for leaving us a review, we welcome your feedback and we appreciate you raising your concerns with us as well.We're very sorry you've had an unhelpful experience and we apologise profusely if we haven't provided you with the service you hoped to receive from us.Generally speaking, for shared ownership properties we're responsible for communal areas and the main fabric of the building.

LandQ total incompetency kitchen ceiling…

I have had a leak in my kitchen ceiling for two weeks. It has got worse and worse. LandQ have repeatedly failed to attend. I had to have asbestos test done, was meant to be as an emergency, I rang Landq four days after original plumber turned up and said he would raise it as an emergency, they said they had five days to respond. My kitchen ceiling is falling down, there is water coming through. I have taken three days off work for appointments for the repair, but no one turns up. I have spent hours on the phone to them. Yesterday they sent out some men to put a plastic sheet under the leak, madness, this just meant all the water built up and the ceiling collapsing even more. Had to cut a hole in it to let water out. My partner is a builder and said they must be crazy. Oh and yesterday when they were meant to send a plumber to do the repairs, they sent another person to do an asbestos test...unbelievable. The asbestos test was done last week and they have the results. so two weeks and one day later, I still have very bad leak in kitchen, ceiling falling down and every time I phone them they say they have booked a job!!! They are total morons and completely inadequate. What is so difficult about booking a job and sending out the appropriate workmen to do it?? They can never ever get hold of the surveyor or the planners who seem to be the "Gods" that can authorise this repair. When I am told, (repeatedly) that planners will be calling me, nothing happens and then I phone to complain, and guess what, I then get told, that far from being an urgent situation and planners going to respond, they have five days to respond to emails! I have had endless issues with LandQ and repairs over the 22 years I have lived in this house. It is always the same, they fail to turn up, they botch up repairs when they do turn up, their management and communication is just diabolical.

Absolutely useless! Do NOT listen to residents, does very little to resolve issues (in my case no hot water for 4 days now). 98% of the agents dealing with residents are defensive, argumentative, rude and just overall inadequate and not fit for the job. Disgusting

9 days and counting since water started…

9 days and counting since water started pouring into my ground floor flat at Vellum Court in Walthamstow. Private plumbers have inspected upper floors and informed L&Q that the water is coming from an external pipe but all requests to trace the leak and assign responsibility or deal with it have been ignored. In the meantime water keeps pouring in and damage continues to increase. To add insult to injury they have just sent me a bill for nearly £900 excess payment for last years management fees to cover their overspend with no explanation as to where the money has gone or why I should have to pay it.L& Q have responded to this review by promising to send a plumber to sort out the problem as it is an emergency - the earliest their emergency plumber can call is on the 16th November but the water has been pouring in non-stop since the 15th October and tonight 29th October all the electrics have gone off in the flat and cannot be turned on again. L&Q out of hours service refuse to help as they say it is not an emergency. All they are concerned with is chasing up the leaseholders for an extra quarter of a million pounds for their overspend on last years management costs most of which seem to have been incurred by trying to save money by having jobs done as cheaply as possible in the first place and then having to pay much more to have things put right.

The same snr manager who found the time, budget to have a solicitors letter sent to me with legal threats/court warnings and audit logs about my correspondence with them regarding outstanding matters and them failing me as a tenant, has emailed me. The same person, per that letter instructions that I made it clear the same day I received it that I did not agree with it's contents/to appeal... and she chose to ignore that email which I still have evidence off in my sent items, is now trying to correspond with me... why... because of these ongoing public posts? They complained when I corresponded with them, reminding them about what I have already repeated to previous snr managers who assured me I would not have to continue repeating the same observations or matters and now because I'm making all public, she's reaching out to me. After the diagnosed schizophrenic male heavily set 6 foot+ (who they knowingly moved me next door to) attacked me by pinned me up against the wall in my home per the police report ...they assured me I would have responsible/warned tenants move next door to me ...3 tenants later ...not the case, also involved the police with upheld evidence of my report. So far so good with the current one but that's just because he's a decent human being. None of them care about the ongoing toll on my quality of life or the mental health impact of having me living next door to/above irresponsible selfish residents. Who actually thought it was okay to let people into his home in the dead of the night until early a.m. hours including week days...socialising in his bedroom where they were obviously smoking because the smoke alarm in his living room goes off if they are there. If you stand up to this "charitable" Housing Association with damning evidence ...they put a target on your back. Given I am recovering from major surgery, I have more important things to do than read content which is probably more repeats, chastising me for these public posts or deflective excuses.

However, if at any point repairing the boiler is no longer a viable option (whereby the boiler is deemed beyond repair) it’s only then that we’re able to consider a replacement. We understand this may become as disappointing news for you and we apologise for any dissatisfaction this has caused.We sincerely hope an engineer has already arranged for the ongoing issues you’re still experiencing but if for any reason you need further help with this, please do let us know by reaching out to us by email at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk.
