TrustpilotDog poo bins not emptied
Orbit have installed dog poo bins at kings oak park Headcorn but no one is emptying them so they are overflowing? Not sure how bins solve the problem if they are not being emptied and instead and spilling out onto the ground. Multiple residents have raised concerns and nothing is being done.

TrustpilotIf your going to evict me, do it
Considering these people reckon and can magic money up when i cannot even afford a Netflix subscription is funny. I have spent the entire day in tears. Thanks to a lovely letter wrongly stating I've been in arrears in months this isn't the case. Despite paying my rent every month. Threatening court action in a letter with staff saying no we aren't is just wrong. So it's a bittersweet symphony.

I think the gas engineer was brilliant. Very professional. Came at a time suitable for me. Couldn't be happier with how the checks were carried out. Great company. Well recommend this gas company to anyone.

TrustpilotIt's important you are on when they turn up.
Engineer turned up just after 8am was about 15 mins, and was polite he got on with the job. I do not like phoning up with a repair request as it takes forever to get through and speak to somebody.

TrustpilotBullying antics by Orbit Housing
. I am utterly disgusted by the despicable tactics employed by Orbit Housing recently. The threatening and unprofessional behavior exhibited by their staff is completely unacceptable. Instead of seeking amicable solutions, they resort to attacking the weak and vulnerable.

Awful poor housing association!! Beware when getting a shared ownership from these as they will continually increase the rent every year! They do not ever support you or offer advice or support! All the want is your money! Do not get a house with them!!!

TrustpilotTenancy coach Emily
For the period of time that I have had Emily as my tenancy coach she has been brilliant at helping me get access to things I need like a washing machine and access to help for my mental health. She's always kind and caring and amazing to talk to whenever you're on the phone with her and she always does whatever she can to make sure you're okay and not stressing about anything.

I have the displeasure of residing in an orbit property The property was empty for over 6 months prior to me moving into it..you would think that they would of checked out the property to make sure everything was working properly..Hell No The day I moved in the toilet didn't flush..none of the sockets in the living room or bedroom worked..as something was wrong with the fuse box..the immersion keeps breaking down...the shower enclosure seal at the bottom has eroded therefore the bathroom gets very wet when using it as there is no bath..I could go on..and they have the cheek to harass about the rent...disgusting disgusting disgusting So disappointed in orbit..get your house in order before you harass peopleIf I could give No stars ..I would..

TrustpilotOrbit need to step up to the plate and take responsibility for there properties and tenants!!
This review is not about me personally but my family membersI am absolutely disgusted with how not only orbit but bsw have treated my family members since April they have had nothing but problems with there boiler it has been condemned twice by both orbit and by bsw. orbit then state fix it knowing it was beyond repair!!! Leaking and not working for months to finally get it to a point to have hot water running but not heating months to have the thermostat moved for safety reasons disabled child kept taking off wall so finally after 7 months they move it and again leave no heating in -degree weather with small children in the home.NO one should have to wear a coat indoors when your paying nearly Β£1000 a month in rent and there attitude no work orders sent over 2 days now to bsw told lies upon lies of someone attending and never arriving having bsw lie about attending it's an absolute disgrace that these million dollar companies believe they can get away with this at all and to have on top of this bsw stating they don't want to attend to carry out works anymore as they have attended a number of times and still not fixed the issue and orbit refusing to replace a faulty boiler what will it take a fire the boiler to blow up damage caused to someone before they step up and take responsibility for not doing what there company is paid to do!

After finding myself unemployed as the pandemic started. I was at a bit of a loss with what to do. My work coach was brilliant and helped me decide on a course I could do which would help me further my career and helped with the funding towards it. He has been a massive help and been a great support contact. Rosario really is a credit to the company.
