GoogleIf I could give them 0 stars I would. Been with NO WATER FOR 24 HOURS in one of their buildings and they are not doing anything. "We'll send someone" it's the chant their customer service repeats but NOBODY HAS COME TO CHECK AND IMPLEMENT REPAIRS. It is appalling how they treat people. We are spending so much money to buy bottled water because Clarion Housing is useless. FIX YOUR PROBLEMS

GoogleThe worse Housing Association ever.
I don’t usually leave bad reviews but since I have been with them for 2 years.
It’s been nothing but shockingly bad customer service.
3 months ago I paid for a fob garage key and despite politely following up every week.
Nothing has been actioned.

Google1 month on and still no help from Clarion. Keep being sent a 'holding' reply!!
Dreadful service.
No response to emails and i submitted my request over a month ago and keep getting an email telling its been sent to the xxx department. Yet i do not hear anything from the department that is meant to be assisting.
I have sent chaser emails and keep being told the same thing.
I would not use this company for anything related to housing needs etc.

GoogleLiving on the top floor of an apartment block and the roof started leaking into my bedroom. I naïvely thought that my housing association would be active to fixing the issue, how wrong I was.
Initially the little tap formed on my ceiling was reported and after gruelling attempts of getting a repair date, they told me 13th. I thought "cool, that's in two days" NOPE, its 13th of next month. Later stating that it can wait that long as "it's not an emergency" ... Excuse me, what???
As we are in England, our friend the rain came again within a week and started inviting itself into my bedroom, when I tried calling Clarion on their emergency repair line, the call hangs up every time after I chose the automated response options. I got to talk more to the recording than an actual person.
I can hardly resist mentioning their automated response's "Due to the recent extreme weather conditions..." comment. It's not like we're in the middle of a typhoon, are we? If 12mm of rain is classed as 'extreme weather', then I calling off work today I suppose.
The constant tapping of the water during the rain sounds like some Chinese torture. I'm soon going to have enough leakage that I can fit a second shower in here.
...
Oh did I mention how the front of my building's communal area doesn't have a bloody front door? The lock was broken, fine, they can change the lock, but why remove the entire door and leave the communal area to feel like the Arctic? Also they took over 3 months to fix a lift, in a building with mobility disabled elderly living on the 2nd and 3rd floor.
Considering moving to a dirt house for better conditions.

GoogleWe have a leak from upstairs, it's taken three weeks of calls and emails and still it leaks. Our current advice as advised by team leader Sadie "sorry we can't tell when the repair will be made because of data protection." I just want to know when the repair will be made, not someones personal information. Clarion use any excuse to avoid action any problems, Clarion are a despicable bunch that only care about profit. Don't be fooled by their website full if smiling faces, the reality is far far away this veneer that they promote. In the meantime my flat has been ruined, CLARION DO NOT CARE!

GoogleThey are completely incompetent as a company and have only gotten worse over the years. I.T failure has led to a complete breakdown and now you can't even get hold of anyone except the cleaners on estates unless you travel to their HQ, even then most probably won't get much assistance. I lost faith in them years ago and I really think it has come to a point where they are put into special measures by the government, however nothing will improve as quite frankly this company should be closed permanently and the council should take the housing stock back and hire new staff and not the staff that created the problem in the first place.

GoogleThey will take the money and don't understand they have responsibities to keep. The pipes in our building have started failing all the time (a 5 year old building) and all the neighbours have been with no water for 5 days now. They refuse to provide us with any water and ask us to talk to another company that they've subcontracted to do their job for them. Talking to them, they don't agree that not having water at home is a problem at all, and therefore not being able to take a shower, flush the toilet and do the laundry and keep a minimum hygiene is a normal thing for them even if we are paying a service charge that includes access to water and they don't care if they're at breach of their own terms and conditions. They won't move a finger to find you an alternative supply or bring bottles and say that according to their subcontractor there's a water tap in an electrical room somewhere in another block of the building and we can go and fill our pots one by one. That's what they consider normal access to water is.
All their online systems are down conveniently so they can use it as an excuse to avoid any responsibility. I've raised a complaint with them for their lack of service and intention of charging full service charge despite not providing the service they charge for and they give themselves 2 weeks during which they won't move a finger to help.
If you want to buy a property and they own the building, you should think it twice.

GoogleSlumlords hiding behind a corporation and protected by the government
They are the most negligent company I have ever used for anything. Team up with building companies that cannot safely create family homes. Ignore their own complaint procedures, emails, phone calls and make communication impossible. Have no regard for health and safety of their tenants.
I live in a new build home that would not have passed inspection- yet have no way of Getting them To fix it. They simply hope you will go away - even after 2 years of complaining.
They do not have the infrastructure needed to handle anything. Badly trained staff who seem to be directed to pass the buck at every point. No single contact for anyone issue it always ends up with 20 different emails to 5 different people who don’t communicate with each other.
They have a zero transparency policy it seems when asking for an explanation of why service charges on identical properties vary by hundreds of pounds, or why service charges have risen because of THEIR underestimated admin costs.
I’m Currently pursuing claim for negligence against them.
I would give them less than 1 star If possible
