Important checks and services are often not completed properly

Switches left off, important plugs left out, sharp debris on floors and carpets and a promise to return in two months!

Dodgey 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.

Disgraceful outrage of a company

Disgraceful outrage of a company. Got a bunch of tradesmen and supervisors running around clueless. Just took them on a 2and disrapair case. Cause that's all they good at. Letting their properties fall in to disrapair. Had to refer them to my MP for the 2and time as well. Cant be trusted as bent as a dogs back leg.

They have increased my rent several times within 6 months of being with them which in itself is illegal and then keep declaring the wrong rent amount to the government therefore changing my entitlement. Not sure if its cluelessness or just blatantly illegal. Would not recommend. Avoid.

Good service

PFP have been very good, made the whole process very easy and regularly update me, chase repairs and keep in contact to ensure I am settling in well, I have requested various permissions through them since I have moved in and they are always very quick to respond and help out, would recommend them!

housing association is racist

This housing association is racist, they will give to a white family who live next door to you. Then say they don't have funding for my emergency maintenance, it's a complete lack a care and support for tenants who they treat as second class citizens.

These flats were supposed to be for over 50,s.We now have 20 somethings who have barbecue,s ,drink excessively fight amongst themselves and take drugs.Damage their properties and are generally offensive characters.

Absolutely disgusting housing association, when your 10 pounds in debt they are constantly ringing you threaten legal action but when you make a repair request they say it can take up to 60 days to get to you.This is totally unacceptable and they should be stripped of their social housing status because they act more like a mafia organisation.
