TrustpilotWould give zero if I could
Would give zero if I could. Got a leak appointment over a month away. Then just for diagnosis, then follow up appointment for repair. They are a total waste of time. All they won't is your money.

TrustpilotL & Q always have customer backlog
L & Q constantly hide behind the fact that they are too busy with other customers, but I am never one of those other customers. They do not do anything unless a complaint procedure is started. They always have enough staff to chase you for money owed.

Trustpilotrenters exercise caution when considering L&Q as a rental company
I have had some difficulties with L&Q as a rental company. It seems that they may not always be helpful or responsive to renters' needs. For example, I have had to follow up numerous times regarding the inventory report, and my emails have been missed or forgotten. As a result, I recommend that renters exercise caution when considering L&Q as a rental company.

TrustpilotNon existent repairs or half a job
This company are crooks. They take your rent but don't carry out repairs. I have been living with a collapsed front step and broken front door for 6 months. The door was due to be replaced but when the workman came he said he had been told to repair it! With the change in weather the crack is now very apparent again and I do not feel safe in my home but I have been told that no repairs are being carried out. Now, the hot tap in bathroom has fallen off and the water would not stop running. I had to turn off water supply to boiler to stop it. Told they won't fix it at the weekend and to call back on Monday. When I pointed out that we are in a pandemic & I should wash hands regularly I was advised to use sanitiser & wet wipes. I was advised to boil kettles to wash up despite telling the operator that my electricity was on emergency credit and my universal credit not due for a number of days.Calling to report repairs usually ends without success and leads to undue amounts of stress.

TrustpilotUnprofessional and slow
Unprofessional, slow and does not care about how their tenants do not have a functional living space. There are no follow ups after reporting a repair. however, they are quick to take full rent out of my account or inundate me with letters if I accidentally delay paying rent.

TrustpilotTrying to kill the elderly
new neighbours moved in next door, done a council exchange, and from day one all they do is smoke cannabis, we have been complaining filling in anti behaviour record form, emails, contacting the Police, but L& Q are not doing nothing, tenants deny they are doing it and L & Q do not care, we have had many case managers, passing the buck, they keep closing the case, but it is still going on, they cannot be bothered as long as they get their rent. Also why does it take 6 months to get our central heating sorted, so not being able to keep warm during the winter months, 8 months to get new vents put into windows and new catches on the windows to keep the cold out and 13 hours to get a plumber out as no water was coming into our toilet its a joke, it would not flush

Agent replied · 11 June 2024
Hi Mr Froome,We sorry to hear you’re being affected by your neighbour smoking cannabis and we understand how discomforting this must be for you.It's good to hear you are reporting this incident to the police and we strongly urge you to keep doing so. As you may be aware it's illegal to smoke cannabis and the police have more powers to take action for any allegations of drug use, and if the police do take action they will contact L&Q to pursue matters further.We understand this may seem a lengthy process but we are obliged to follow procedures and an immediate resolution to the problem could take many months to resolve. If your happy to discuss your concerns further with us or if you have any further questions relating to this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at lqdirect@lqgroup.org.uk and we’ll be more than willing to provide you with further advice and assistance.ThanksCustomer Service Team

The information from the survey helps us to understand those properties that are in need most which means your home may be on a different programme to your neighbours’ property. However, this doesn’t mean your home will never have new components it just means your home will be on another programme within a different year.
