Rental application

The website was easy to use and the staff at places for people were very prompt and efficient when sending me all the information regarding the rental agreement. I was very pleased with the whole process.

since living here we have been perfectly happy with our experience. Do think, however, that the Broadside fencing should have another line to be safer for visiting grandchildren.

Maintenance of front lawns plus autumn leavegathers at my front door. Garden maintenance does absolutely no maintenance apart from mowing front lawno then leaving the street messy. Back alley behind properties disgusting. What are they spending our service charges on?

Keep away, you might as well be homeless

If you would like to keep your sanity, please avoid this housing association where possible. The area managers are simply incompetent, and I wouldn't trust this company (or Astley Village's area manager, Michelle Newman) to run a bath.

Overall good

I am quite shocked to read these reviews, i have always had first class service from the Maintenance side, no problems whatsoever. The only gripe i do have is, i have waited and still waiting for my fence repair,which i reported about 18 months ago, in that time we have replaced 2 others ourselves. As we do have a dog, and grandchildren visit, we do not need escapies.

I contacted P4P as the outside staircase was developing many cracks one 5 mm wide. I was told it was not an emergency therefore nothing could be done. Not even just to look at the problem.

The whole process was stressfree

The process of applying, being offered a property and viewing were really straight forward and simple. I was kept informed at all times and dealt with professionally. Staff I spoke to were polite, knowledgeable and friendly.
