The repair wasn’t completed or even started. The correct part wasn’t ordered. I’ve waited weeks for the repair. The house doesn’t feel secure. I’m not happy.

TrustpilotPolicy breaches
Breaches of their own policies and possibly even legal obligations.. Formal complaints to customer services a farce, achieves nothing.. Services poor and usually with lengthy delays. All contrary to their glossy online statements.

This housing association are very bad with responding to repairs. I have been waiting for them to fix the damp in my bathroom, kitchen and living room for the last two years. Each time when i try to contact them they say they will send someone but they never turn up. Whoever uses this service i am warning you to think again.

My flat needed a complete reconstruction after major water leaks under the floor. A new kitchen/bathroom, new flooring and decoration throughout. My housing officer, Michelle Swan, was amazing getting everything organised and providing alternative accommodation. Michelle's colleague Alex project managed the works. Moving back into my flat was a delight. Everybody did a 100% job.

They are an absolute joke if you have any sense do not use them. Their quality of work is poor they use contractors who do a rubbish job and then they don’t take any responsibility for their work and then try to fob you. Their customer service is shocking never taking responsibility or showing any empathy

TrustpilotDodgey opperation
They have several companies all registered underneath them who manage buildings on their behalf. Its a constant cat and mouse game trying to find out who is responsible for damages or lack of maintanence. Avoid them and their subcontractors, e.g the residential management group ltd.If you see that dreaded P logo on a van, speed out of there immediately.
