Flagship Group Reviews 

All be it that flagship are generally rubbish and had constant issues and disappointments with various things over past 5 years, today i had mandy and mark here re-doing my uneven sunken bathroom floor, window cill and toilet box top and i must say they were bloody amazing! They need a pay rise! They were here from 8.30 til 6.30! Hardly stopped bless them! It was stupidly hot and they just cracked on and ensured my bathroom was all done in 1 day! Seriously good workers! Very nice, talkative, helpful, kind (im disabled and mandy even went to shop up road on her break and got me some milk, with her own money i might add, as my online shop wasnt due til next day and i wanted to make them a cuppa or 2!) I cant thank her enough for that. She didnt have to and i didnt ask she just went and got some! I am so very greatful for that! Such lovely people and bloody hard workers! Both of them! Highly highly recommend both these guys! And i hope if i need any more works that they will be the ones to do it! Took time and care to make sure it was all perfect for me! Cleared up after themselves too! I honestly cant speak highly enough about them and i would like to thank both mandy and mark so very very much! I was gutted as i wanted to give them a tenna each so they could at least go get a drink to relax this evening after working so damn hard in this heat but they werent allowed to take it! They bloody deserved it really after today! Such lovely people too personally! And they put up with my woof and gave him fusses (which he lapped up!). I do hope their managers read this and praise them thoroughly! Need more people like these guys! Bloody brilliant the pair of them! And so quiet and professional too! Didnt even know you were there! Thank you mandy and mark for doing such a great job, taking such pride in your work, for being personable and friendly and for helping me when you didnt have too! Such good kind workers! Im very very happy with what they done for me today! Amazing! Thanks guys! Hope to see you in the future! All the best! Jo num 4 skylark close great ellingham.

Brilliant guys Gary and Adi. My kitchen is perfect thank u

Very well done for the quick response and workman James was very good at his jon

Had a new kitchen fitted by Wayne. This man is a real grafter, does not stop. His work is first class and Flagship should consider themselves very lucky to employ him. The electricians and plasterers were also extremely good. I am very pleased with the work carried out. My house was left clean and tidy, I was informed throughout of what was happening. A far cry from the last work carried out in my house by TM Browne, who left my house looking like a building site.

Dan Chamberlain refitted my entire bathroom in just a day and a half. He worked so quickly and efficiently, was very pleasant and polite and respectful of my home. I am over the moon with everything, it's absolutely lovely, thank you ☺️

Luke and Jamie done an amazing job on my kitchen both of them were very polite very kind

My experience with Flagship Housing Association as a shared ownership customer has been extremely disappointing. While many positive reviews appear to come from tenants, the experience of shared ownership leaseholders who eventually buy their homes outright is very different.

When I purchased the remaining 50% share of my property, I obtained valuations from three independent estate agents. All three produced very similar valuations. However, Flagship insisted on instructing their own surveyor, whose valuation came in around £20,000 higher than the highest of the three independent valuations I had obtained. I had no realistic choice but to accept their inflated valuation because it was the only way I could buy the remaining share of my own home. Even the mortgage lender's valuation was lower. In effect, I was forced to pay significantly more simply because Flagship controlled the process.

The second issue concerns the right of pre-emption. Even after purchasing 100% of the property and owning it as a freehold, this restriction remained on the title deeds, meaning I still needed Flagship's permission before selling my own home. I was told this restriction was no longer legally enforceable and that Flagship would waive it. I even paid £159 for the necessary paperwork to have the matter resolved. Despite this, they made the process unnecessarily difficult and, ultimately, the restriction was never removed because they assured me it would not cause any problems when I came to sell.

That assurance has turned out to be completely wrong.

I am now selling the property and the right of pre-emption is causing significant delays because it still appears on the Land Registry title. I initially tried to resolve the matter myself, but after months of difficulty I have had to instruct my solicitor. This is now likely to cost me close to £1,000 in additional legal fees because Flagship requires payment before dealing with the matter. My solicitor must now involve the Land Registry to remove a restriction that Flagship should have dealt with years ago. To make matters worse, there are additional charges simply to have the paperwork processed more quickly.

Throughout this process, I have felt that at every opportunity Flagship has sought to extract more money from homeowners rather than support the people they claim to be helping onto the property ladder.

I also question the service charges. Although my property is a freehold semi-detached house, I was being charged what I considered excessive service charges. When I asked for a detailed explanation of what I was actually paying for and challenged the charges, they suddenly reduced from almost £40 per month to just £40 per year. That raises serious questions about how those charges were calculated in the first place.

Overall, my experience has been one of inflated valuations, unnecessary costs, poor communication and obstructive administration. I would urge anyone considering shared ownership with Flagship to understand exactly what rights they will have, what restrictions may remain after buying outright, and what costs they could face in the future.

Tony came done my fence excellent job and on 2 hottest days of the year and very friendly and professional

Flagship has always delivered an excellent service. Fitting you in earlier if available. Excellent customer service from the office staff and operators.
Issue today with window vent, quickly rectified by James.

Charlie did an amazing job with the bathroom. He was extremely helpful, polite, and professional throughout. You can tell he takes great pride in his work and has a real passion for what he does it’s much more than just a job to him. He is by far the best person I’ve met from Flagship, and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided.

Wayne is not only a top bloke, he fits a kitchen to a high standard! He turns up on time and cleans up after himself and very respectful too. I am super happy with my kitchen and I can't thank Wayne enough. The quality of the kitchen and the flooring looks great as well. Thank you 😊

mark has been twice now, very nice gentleman, got the job done as quick as he can and I'm very happy.
