Gemma took my call seriously and came to a conclusion that would help me. I was passed back and forth via email saying my forms weren’t received and had no answer from anyone. Once I spoke to Gemma she listened and called me back and sorted within a couple of days.

DO NOT TRUST THEM!

I was dissatisfied when I tried to buy my first home with Sagehomes. Being told your home is ready in November but not being able to move in is definitely not a good start. But when that turned into January, then February, and now April at the earliest, we knew this wasn't genuine. The worst part about this was definitely the fact that we had seen the property completely finished!

Having said the above, what really stuck with me about this companies poor service and poor communication is the fact that out of the blue we get our holding deposit back with no message no call and no email, so we dug deeper to find that they had taken our home and put it back on the market.

severely poor business with some sort of corruption and the worst service I have ever seen.

DO NOT TRUST THEM!

Kym B - The best at what she does.

This morning, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kym B. regarding two ongoing issues: a shower leak that has persisted for two years and a metal bar on my door that occasionally prevents it from closing properly.

After two years of repeatedly contacting Sage Housing with no resolution, Kym was the first person to take my concerns seriously and act promptly. She immediately scheduled appointments to address the issues, demonstrating professionalism, compassion, and empathy throughout our conversation. She reassured me that she would contact the necessary contractors to resolve the problems, which brought me immense relief—to the point of tears. I’ve received correspondence from contractors immediately. I sincerely appreciate Kym’s dedication and told her she had lifted a significant burden off my shoulders.

Lettings officer such a phenomenal employee

Chinwe Ekwunife our Lettings & Allocations Officer that have been dealing with has been fantastic, always helpful and answering any questions we had, she had such a welcoming tone to her voice every time we interacted.
She made the whole experience for us moving from private rent to affordable home such a simple process given our complex family needs, offering us so much advice and taking the time to keep in contact whenever we had an issue or concern.
Being honest if you look to take on new staff in the future please utilise Chinwe to train them in customer service as she has been phenomenal.

Terrible service

I reserved my shared ownership property in July 24’ and am STILL waiting to move in. They seem to be constantly in meetings or waiting for a decision. I sold my previous property due to a divorce and was told the property would be ready by the developers late November/December. I am paying 1000s in rent and storage and my children are separated from me due to cramped living conditions which is extremely stressful and upsetting. It is now Feb and I’m still no closer to getting a date, all I keep being told is “we’re planning on”…..”We antisipate” absolutely nobody seems to care. Their customer service team read from scrips or they have you on hold for ages and cut you off. It’s a terrible way to run a company and have noticed that I am not the only one. Please can someone do something to put this right?

Not so caring landlords

Contacted sage today after reporting a repair on line 2 weeks ago .Fence had blown down and broken in garden , we are both pensioners with an elderly dog so marked it as urgent , as we could not let her out. Waited for a reply which came on the second complaint , which said it was up to us to repair, even though we are in rented property.
On checking on line I was under the impression it was the landlords responsibility unless damage was caused by the tenant .
I rang sage who would not do the repair , that it was our responsibility as agreed by the government apparently .
We both have mobility problems and would find it difficult to do , and a contractor would be expensive .
Sage are not at all sympathetic to their elderly tenants , which has come to our attention on various occasions when contacting them .

My frustration with SAGE was addressed in the best possible ways

I was initially a strong detractor and had titled this review “The Most Atrocious Customer Service of My Entire Life.”

When I moved into my new property, I created an account and set up a direct debit. However, for some reason, it was not processed, and I had to continue making manual payments. Despite paying regularly, my account kept showing as “in arrears” on the Sage portal.

I reached out via email to address this issue and also reported a problem with my front lock. After 12 days, the only acknowledgment I received was a message on the portal stating, “You owe us money!” I found this incredibly disrespectful, unhelpful, and inaccurate, which left me absolutely furious.

However, today I received a call from the Sage team with a heartfelt apology and, more importantly, an explanation. They clarified that the message was never intended for customers—it was generated by a trial product that had not been fully tested and should never have been released publicly. This explanation reassured me, as there was no reason for any customer to be spoken to that way.

I also appreciated the level of care I received during the call, as well as the additional support provided regarding my other concerns. As a new homeowner adjusting to shared ownership, this made a real difference.

To top it off, my front lock was fixed today by a lovely chap, which further restored my confidence in the service. I now have more faith that my shared ownership experience will improve moving forward.

Thank you for turning this around in the best possible way.

Sage Housing simply don't care.

My daughter is very vulnerable health wise. She lives in social housing with her daughter and she struggles to get repairs or support. We have already sought the help of the Housing Ombs for previous issues which were only partly resolved, although according to Sage's response to the Housing Ombs report, she is now 'happy' where she lives! Absolute rubbish! There are further problems which are being ignored. My daughter has lived there for 3 yrs and the lack of support has impacted on her health to the point where I fear she may have a breakdown.

I purchased my first house on a new private estate and never realised that Sage had social housing on the estate. I wish like many of my neighbours that I had never purchased it, I know that councils want more social housing but putting social tenants on private estate just doesn't work and brings the area down, totally unfair on people who have perhaps spent hundreds of thousands on a house to have it dragged down to a council estate level.

Good Afternoon Edir ,

Developers will usually advise at the time of reserving properties of the affordable housing properties that will be on the estate and if they did not make you aware or share this on the plans you would need to reach out to them directly.

We passionate about working in our communities to foster stronger community ties and connect with customers to enhance their quality of life in our neighbourhoods.

If there is specific feedback you would like to provide regarding properties that are owned by Sage please do not hesitate to contact us directly and speak to one of the team on 020 8168 0500.
