Answer the questions you are asked on trust pilot

They do a wonderful job of not answering reviews. You pose question's and they ignore them, passing onto their teams to learn is a waste of time. The policies they adopt at team level is set by the board, which in my honest opinion are out there depth. I have been lucky to deal with boards that are creative and deliver, I'm afraid Flagship will never do this with the current incumbents' on the current board.

We’ve just moved out of shared ownership

We brought a shared ownership home via flagship a few years ago and have just recently completed in its sale - so I feel I have a whole understanding of the process.

Shared ownership isn’t for everyone, but at the time, our choice was own 50% or rent. Shared ownership for us, is possibly the wisest thing we did. It allowed us to build up enough equity in the property along with job changes and pay increases to enable us to now purchase 100% of a property.

As for Flagship specifically - we have literally had no bad experience or communication.

Providing you pay your rent on time, they won’t contact you unless it’s in regards to annual increases (everything increases and I personally found their increases completely justifiable.)

Purchasing process and sales process both went seamless. For the purchase there was a quick affordability check and we were set. For the sale, we made sure we ticked all of flagships boxes before listing (independently valued the house, EPCs etc), and doing this meant it was a quick as an email to get the property listed.

It seems like Flagship get some bad reviews overall, but genuinely, I have no bad words to say.

Ultimately, pay for your bills on time, expect an annual increases (minimal) and when you come to sell, read the sellers guide to tick the boxes, and you’ll have a happy hassle free time in your home!

Shared Ownership

My partner and I have bought a shared ownership property and we cannot recommend flagship enough. Bryony helped us through the process and was amazing from start to finish! We had no idea where to start but she was so patient with us, we truly couldn’t have done it without her and can’t thank her and the team enough!🏡

What is the point.

What is the point.

What is the point of sending an email for "champion monthly Survey" if you click the link log in click on victory homes and there is nothing there.

My IQ is higher. In fact higher than your CEO'S yet you continue to mess around with my head.

And i am not ringing customer service to discuss this as all they do is email someone else as they cannot think outside the box.

We bought our shared ownership home…

We bought our shared ownership home with Flagship three years ago, and we’ve just completed the process of staircasing to 100% ownership. We wouldn’t have been able to own a home in the area we love without Flagship’s shared ownership option — it truly made homeownership possible for us.

Throughout the whole journey, the Flagship team has been incredibly supportive. In particular, Carly has been amazing during the staircasing process. She guided us through every step, helped resolve any issues we faced, and made sure we always felt supported.

Thank you!

So somebody called kelly said someone…

So somebody called kelly said someone from anti-social team would contact me within 2 working days and now it the 3rd day. No call. Also they give you the 0300 number to call which is pointless as you cannot speak to the department. They just send an email on your behalf then you have to wait another 5 days but i did this not 5 days ago but 6 weeks ago.

Eventually i will be taking Victory to court over past issues and finally the supreme court to prove that middle management directors and the CEO are incompetant when it comes to being in the 21st century as to contact anyone they have a ARCHAIC SYSTEM in place. I have been with 3 housing associations and dealt with 10 more for other people as a Lay Representative and VICTORY/FLAGSHIP are the worst.

Court will happen. Be warned.

Good Morning Mark,

Following my last reply on Friday 8th, a member of our team tried to reach you on Monday 11th but wasn’t able to get through, so they left a voicemail.

I’ve spoken with the team, and they’ll be in touch again next week to talk through the concerns you’ve raised about anti-social behaviour.

Officers may not always be available on the 0300 number, as they’re often with our customers. However, if you’d like to let us know the best time to call, you can ring 0330 123 1860 and we’ll pass this information to the team.

Many thanks

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you feel that we didn't act quickly enough to repair the door to your building.

I can see from our system that we attended a few hours after the repair was reported, and ordered the replacement parts as soon as possible. Overall, the repair was completed within our 28-day timeframe, noted within our repairs policy.

Many thanks

Worst housing

Worst housing. Being evicted because I'm not "living there" when my uncle died and my father was in hospital for over a month and went through a 9 hour operation and nearly died..but as my housing officer said I have to be there and no one staying over oh and I have to open the door to her when I don't even want to see her...my rent has always been paid never had a complaint... But I've got court in 2 months because I "haven't been living there".... I'm so going to take them to court for stress and thanks to them my autoimmune disease has flared up

Hi Hayley,

Thank you for your feedback. We will be in touch to discuss. 

Eviction is our last resort, as we do all we can to ensure that our tenants have the support in place to maintain their tenancy.

Positive first home experience!

I’ve just sold my first home and Flagship have been great ‘landlords’ over my 4 years with them. They’ve always been easy to contact and never talked in jargon I didn’t understand so that made everything feel accessible which was always reassuring being a first-time home owner (and selling for the first time, too!)
The 4 stars rather than 5 is that the rent just kept creeping up. Never an extortionate amount but it would have made it more affordable if they’d considered the interest rates going up for mortgages rather than prioritising their own profits, but they’re a business at the end of the day, so I understood their reasons.

A HUGE thank you to Matthew Downes

A HUGE thank you to Matthew Downes, tenancy support officer at Victory Homes. Due to reasons that are not relevant here, we had an issue with our rent which Matthew sorted out for us. He also kept us informed as to what was happening. Again, thank you Matthew for your help, Victory should consider itself lucky to have you

Steer clear

Bought a shared ownership property that has had so many faults with it that it’s ruined the new start I had for me and my disabled son. Yes they’ve fixed SOME of the issues but not all. Never warned me about possible issues that may arise from buying a new build, albeit it’s not new as it was empty for 2 years. Complaints process is pointless as only £50 offered for all the stress and added money I’ve had to spend on the house to get it fixed. Complaints also don’t respond quickly and I’ve had to follow up repeatedly. They clearly don’t check the houses before selling them to people as I’ve had faulty meters, faulty heating system and inadequate sized radiators. They don’t care about their customers or the stress they cause. £50 in this day and age doesn’t do anything. Poor!

If I could I’d sell up and move but can’t afford to. Steer clear of this company as they don’t care about their customers or the houses they sell or rent out.

Excellent service and support

Due to personal circumstances I found myself needing to start on the property ladder again in later middle age. The opportunity of shared ownership and 'staircasing' to increase ownership share with Flagship Group provided both hope and security and a way out of renting at high commercial rates. The staff at Flagship have provided excellent support and advice at initial purchase and throughout my shared ownership progression.

Excellent Staff

I would just like to say what a wonderful person Carly Horne is. She helped me through so much when I was buying my shared ownership home. Sometimes the solicitors couldn’t give me the information I needed and Carly would come back to me with the answer sometimes within the hour. She is a blessing to your company and so very helpful going out of her way to find out information. I hope you have staff recognition awards as she wins this hands down. Thank her for such excellent and kind caring service

Sarah Davies at Flagship Housing Sales, thank you

Sarah Davies at Flagship housing has been consistently amazing with endless help and support in getting us into our new home, despite many obstacles that came up along the way. Thank you Sarah for everything you’ve done from start to finish through what’s been a long and painful process for everyone due to many external factors, in addition to a very emotional time for our family, always delivering great customer service, help and support throughout.

Pathetic flagship

I’m having to come on trust pilot because the incompetent flagship group are trying to get out of a blackmailing situation. I’ve now asked for the names of all involved with the blackmail and threatening emails I’ve received from them but I’m being ignored or given some sort of an excuse to not responding to me regarding the information I’ve requested. As we know blackmailing someone is illegal and flagship seems to think that they are above the law or think I’m not serious about reporting them to the police. I was emailed today by flagship asking if I want a letter explaining there findings so I replied yes please and again asked for the names of those involved but I’ve not received any response so again I’m not happy with there incompetence and lack of respect of how seriously I’m taking this matter. Let’s see what excuses I get now and or if they can actually do ANYTHING RIGHT…
This whole situation has actually made me ill but they don’t care either way. I will keep you all updated on this situation because I would not like anyone else to have to go through what I am with this pathetic incompetent housing group. They have the nerve to call themselves caring but took my home away from me and now being blackmailed and threatened, I say no more because they are just not worth it.
