Properties in complete disrepair

Places for people have declined over the past 3/4yrs. My flat is in disrepair and they have not fixed the issues despite contacting them every single day. I keep getting fobbed off each time stating that Mullens Property group will call me by the end of the day to arrange the repair. I never get a call and the cycle continues. It’s been over 3 years!

I’ve been here 11 years and badly need a new kitchen, you seem to have to die or move out to get one. The guttering is never cleaned unless you phone up and ask. The windowsills need painting. The estate is a mess, it was always clean when we had a caretaker, now we have rats.

You are perfect

When I call the company, they respond to me and provide very good assistance. If I file a complaint about poor or delayed repair, they are cooperative. Also, the employees and engineers who do the repair do their job perfectly.

would like to extend my heartfelt greetings to all the staff members I have previously interacted with at your company. I want to express my deep appreciation for the excellent communication and support I have consistently received. During times when I needed assistance with my rent-related matters, your staff encouraged me and provided invaluable support, for which I am truly grateful. Words cannot fully convey how much this meant to me.I would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Places for People for giving me the opportunity to live in my current residence. Over the past years, I have enjoyed a peaceful and secure environment for myself and my children, and for that, I am incredibly thankful.I feel blessed and safe in my home, and I pray for continued blessings upon your team, your company, and Places for People. Your dedication to communication, compassion, and understanding has been exceptional, and I am deeply appreciative of all your efforts.Thank you once again for everything. You are truly amazing in every aspect. sincerely, Mrs. Jarra.

Room for improvement

Room for improvement There has been an improvement in the time taken for repairs to be acknowledged but we need some way to report antisocial behaviour and things such as outside doors being regularly left open, thus compromising our safety.

No hot water first in the bathroom now in the kitchen. Waiting three months for electrical repairs, noisy pump in boiler room next to my bedroom which was installed a week ago, and when I want to bring these issues to the managers attention I’m told “nothing to do with me phone repairs”

Unhappy Tenant

It has not been the best time for me living as a tenant of Cotman/Places for People for various reasons. The latest being plagued by rats and not having any support or action. Again I was left too frightened to go out and too frightened to stay in, which I can assure you, was devastating and drove me to despair. Instead of bombarding Places for People it was left to maybe one or two people to do the contacting. Which I thank them for. We were left with no representation for months on end. I could go on but what is the point your tenants wellbeing is obviously not your priority. I would like to thank Jeff Hicks for his telephone call during another episode and I understand he was trying to help wherever he could during this awful period. Thank you again.

I am a disabled customer and live in a ground floor flat with my carers upstairs. I asked for a new side door for better security as the one that is there is not as secure as I would like and rattles in the wind. The person who came to look was very dismissive and told me that places for people would never change it.
