9th review for this company

This is the 9th review I have left for Home Group in nearly 3 years.
Still waiting for outstanding repairs, still getting lied too, appointments not kept or not bothering to inform us about upcoming appointments, when repairs do turn up they refuse to do the works that have been approved by Home Group and cut corners. I send messages to point of contact but I just get ignored I also send messages to housing managers who also ignore and do not bother to get in touch. I am now getting the 3rd lot of compensation as it has been found on all 3 complaints that I have raised that Homegroup is NOT doing what they are meant to or what they say they will do. You would think that after the 1st lot of compensation Home Group would get things right but no. It is a joke that they have and continue to treat vulnerable tenants in this way.

Now going through legal route as being fobbed off for over a year. Had 15 call outs for 1 job. Taking this to ombudsman. When you reply to this comment can you indicate the step by step process causing you to not carry out my appointment after 15 appointments? Baxters is a living hell. Housing manager Gracie too embarrassed to tell me anything! Mark henderson the CEO will blank you. I’m complaining to all relevant authorities. Disgusting organisation and the people that work there have no heart!

DANGEROUS Housing Association…

This is the worst Housing Association when it comes to repairs. Every time I report a repair they are NEVER logged. I reported a repair today at 6.52am for NO heating/NO hot water. I chased again at 11.30 to confirm the job had been allocated and someone would be attending within the 6 hour SLA. It was confirmed the job had been allocated. I called again at 2.30pm (now outside of the SLA) customer agent transferred me to a random company in the NORTH when my property is not even within a 100 miles of the company only for them to confirm no job had been raised with them.
So I am in a property 8 months pregnant and with a vunerable child and have no heating or hot water. Absolutely DISGUSTING!!

I already have an ongoing complaint due to HomeGroup not raising repairs. I reported repairs in October regarding cracks in my child’s bedroom. The cracks are deep enough the room is freezing cold , a Housing Surveyor attended and never raised the repairs until a MONTH later only when chased then had the nerve to state the room was inhabitable (They did the same thing in April and didn’t even report those repairs at all, I had to raise again in July).

To be clear with the ongoing repairs we have had to sleep in one bedroom and will need to continue to so until the cracks are resolved. HomeGroup are quite happy to charge for a two bedroom yet I am only able to inhabit one. I fully intend to report this to Universal Credit as it is illegal to be charged for properties that are not in full use/restricted access for an ongoing period of time

The ongoing issues, along with today now being left with no heating or hot water are a testimony to the fact this housing association should be investigated on the poor service, conditions of the homes and the fact they seem to continuously charge rent for properties that are either uninhabitable or completely unsafe (last repair took a YEAR, including checking for Asbestos).

This Housing Company are a danger to its tenants and never seem to accept responsibility.
