Bunch of morons
I agree with Steve Smith this bunch of incompetents led by a CEO, an accountant, who cannot or will not answer letters or emails, they provide no maintenance and keep raising the service charge to cover ever increasing levels of incompetent managers, location manager, area manager, district manager, regional manager, operational manager, safety officer - but nobody does ANYTHING, walls with unpainted areas for 2 years where fire extinguisher removed, duct tape on threadbare stair carpet for 5 years, fire doors that do not close properly but "inspected and certified OK" horrendous fees charged for Surveyors' inspections the list is endless. No location manager on site for 3 weeks working from home and then two weeks holiday. A repair to a roof in the bin area promised for first week of July - we are in second week of August -what has happened? No information, no answers. Ombudsman toothless, Charity Commission not interested, Housing Minister not his remit!In response I called Anchor Customer Relations and they asked me to contact Are Manager who has had 13 emails from me in the last 10 days. Still waiting for her response too!
Dear Mr. Buston, We're sorry to learn that you are having a difficult time with staff and repairs. As we'd like to investigate further, please contact our Customer Relations team on 0345 602 5516 Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm or email at customer.relations@anchor.org.uk referring to this review.

Its a fat cat charity filling its pockets big time and this is all its interested in. There is pretty much zero customer service beyond reams of lipservice. The real blessing is, especially in this day and age, its affordbale housing now that the council have sold all the UK family silver. If you get a nice place you're good. The quesation is DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?Zero community here either. In fact I have never met such a miserable bunch of old gits in all my life which is really sad. Another failing of Anchor yet again beyond the lip service.

No communication or compassion
My Mother passed away on 23rd October 2023. She owned a bungalow at Braziers Field, Hertford which is managed by Anchor HA. The property was put up for sale in January 2024. A buyer was found and the legal work began on 30th January. Probate came through in May so we were then working towards an Exchange of contracts. Both our solicitor and the buyer were ready to exchange on 1st August 2024 with an agreed completion date of 16th August 2024. All the documents have been approved but Anchors solicitor has not responded to numberous emails from both solicitors. All Anchor have to do is sign off the exchange but according to their office there is no one available to sign the paperwork? The buyer is a widowed lady in her 80's and is very nervous about moving. This situation is not acceptable. No one from Anchor has even bothered to tell our solicitors what is going on or when they will sign the document. Selling a property & moving is stressful at the best of times but when you have suffered a bereavement it is 10 times worse.
Dear JanetWe're very sorry that our services have not met your expectations.We've requested further details so that a member of our legal team can assist you with this matter.

Only put one star as couldn't do zero…
Only put one star as couldn't do zero Disgusting company who's managers use bully boy tactics on older and disabled people, no work ever done apart from sending constant letters telling you what to do, no repairs on properties done in timely manner, rent increases but nothing done, told by area manager I couldn't have use of the cupboard that has been housing my wheelchair for the last five years with no reason given, bullied and being treated with total disrespect, I am not the only one here that is being treated like this absolutely DISGUSTING behaviour by management.Answer from anchor BUT NO ONE GETS IN TOUCH TYPICAL NEED TO MAKE A FOMAL COMPLAINT
Dear Karen Jones, Thank you for your review and providing your info so that customer relations can be in touch. All feedback will allow us to resolve any problems and improve our services to you.

Priority transfer on health grounds

Lovely little flat
We registered with Anchor just a couple of months ago and we were called after just a couple of weeks to offer us a flat, the turn around time from offer to taking the keys was just a couple of weeks in which time the flat was cleaned ( had had a heavy smoker in could have been cleaned more thoroughly only small gripe) and decorated, we have since thoroughly deep cleaned the property and redecorated it to our taste a we love our little flat. The rent is reasonable and the community spirit in this scheme is great so we are very happy.
Dear Raymond Carr, Thank you for your review. We are glad you are enjoying your new home and that your have been able to redecorate to your taste.

Generally good but the lack of Wifi is surprising. It would cheaper to have each tenant pay a small charge for Wifi to cover the cost to the admin. ASAP please.
Dear Mr B A Ward, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that the WiFi is proving to be slow. As we'd like to investigate further and relay the review to the appropriate department, please contact our Customer Relations team on 0345 602 5516 Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm or email at customer.relations@anchor.org.uk referring to this review.

Flats should be professionally inspected by a qualified snagger and items requiring fixing should be done prior to someone moving in.The kitchen is a mismatch of cupboards…
The kitchen is a mismatch of cupboards doors etc missing work surface holes in the walls mismatched tiles and water damaged shelves, the electric sockets switches have gaps that water condensation can get into. Anchor is very slowly repairing these. The bathroom has a broken extractor fan that can't be repaired so I'm waiting to see how they can work around that. The toilet flush system was so slow to fill up again, but they have now fixed that. The shower temperature bar was either very hot or cold, again they have now fixed that. . I wonder why these jobs could not have been fixed prior to me moving in. Shout out to the Local management who have been very helpful in organising the repairs for me.
Dear Mr Ian MacAulay, We're sorry to hear your repairs haven't gone to plan. As we'd like to investigate further and relay the review to the appropriate department, please contact our Customer Relations team on 0345 602 5516 Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm or email at customer.relations@anchor.org.uk referring to this review.
