The house is lovely but when we started…

The house is lovely but when we started to move in we found out the boiler wasn't connected properly so one of the cabinets was flooded. How it past a boiler check I can't understand. It's took us weeks to get bins cause we can't get council tax. Stones put out side are horrible and the drain cover out side has shattered and all that has been done is covered with a bit of plastic

Very happy

I am happy with the service I've had so far from Derwent. From applying for the flat to signing up took just 2 weeks. The flat is lovely though small but was clean and tidy. I would give 5 stars but the communal areas in the building need to be cleaned.

Delays in move date

Delays in move date. Waiting for over 1 hour in freezing temperatures and gusty wind for over an hour before Derwent staff arrived for meeting to sign up and get keys. No heating for almost a week in freezing temperatures.

A stressful and frustrating start

A stressful and frustrating start, having recently moved into my new flat. Several attempts to get the gas uncapped bouncing back and forth between derwent and their contractor. Have been pestered several times by the rents team about payment details already given at sign up two weeks ago. Now just received the 'red automated behind with payments letter'! Issues with topping up both prepayment meters and their suppliers! Sigh.

No heating no hot water after 2 weeks!

Still waiting after 2 weeks to have my boiler repaired or replaced!
Being fobbed off with excuses is not good enough especially when I receive a snotty phone call about rent arrears!
Try sorting your side before I stop the rent all together.
Daughter came out of hospital Sunday it’s been -4 in the house and all I get is some fool trying to POST fan heaters through the door. Disgusting, let’s see what the housing Ombudsman as to say
