They are terrible
They are terrible! I keep on calling them and they always have an excuse for not helping me. My account is sitting with a penalty fee for a long time now even though I called them explaining that I have set up a standing order so the fee should be removed. Nobody answers my emails so there is no proof of what they say which is cheeky and works in their favour hence all the excuses over the phone.

Great Help with My Fire Door Inspection Booking
I recently needed to book an appointment for a fire door inspection and wasn’t sure how to do it myself, so I had been putting it off. Brenton was extremely helpful and made the whole process straightforward. He kindly offered to arrange the appointment on my behalf and was very happy to help throughout. His support made everything much easier, and I really appreciated his friendly and professional approach. I’m very happy with the service and would highly recommend him.

Portal problems
I have taken off a star as unfortunately there were ongoing technical problems getting into the portal, which was very frustrating. This was no reflection on Genavieve who was extremely helpful in sorting out access today when everything was resolved.
Genavieve responded very quickly and kept me informed.
Haus have only just taken over our development, so hopefully things will go smoothly. The portal now seems to be working and was easy to navigate.

Awful service
They only good in sending unreasonable chargers...
Lift in 8 story building normally broken few times a year for 2-4 weeks and broken agai, but no actions, they not giving any updates, everything as usual...
bin store area normally stinks like public toilet
Front door in to the building often broken, anyone can get in and out...
Electrical cupboards built with combustable materials, but nobody care
BUT!!! If someone trying to do renovation in the appartment, they doing they best to stop it: calling in the middle of the night, sanding LFB, asbestos inspection, local council, etc... but at the same time to isolate electricity in case of emergency you need to go to another floor and dig in cupboard full of asbestos. Even local electrical engineers afraid to open it...
Horrible! Horrible behaviour, Horrible service... try to avoid or change them if possible...

Dear Artem Gulenco,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are sorry that you have been dissatisfied with your experience and would like to provide some context regarding the matters raised.
The lift replacement forms part of a wider programme of major works currently underway. We appreciate the frustration caused by service interruptions and continue to work with the appointed contractors to progress the outstanding works and obtain regular updates.
Regarding the bin store, measures have previously been implemented to address cleanliness and access concerns, and we are not currently aware of any ongoing reports relating to odours in this area.
Similarly, we have not received reports of any persistent issues with the main entrance door, although we would be happy to investigate should specific details be provided.
We also take health and safety matters extremely seriously. Where building works are undertaken within individual properties, we have a duty to ensure that appropriate procedures are followed and that any potential risks to residents, contractors and the building are properly assessed. Any requests for information, inspections or supporting documentation are made in line with these responsibilities and applicable regulations.
We take all feedback seriously and remain committed to providing a high standard of service to our residents.
Regards,
Haus Block Management

Lizzane Du Toit is amazing.
Lizzane, I just wanted to say a sincere "Thank You" for all your help, kindness and support over the years regarding my son’s property.
You have always been so approachable, patient, and supportive, and it has genuinely meant a great deal to both of us.
Dealing with property matters can often be stressful, but your willingness to help whenever needed, made such a difference along the way.
It is rare to come across someone who cares so much and consistently goes the extra mile, and I truly wanted you to know how much your efforts have been appreciated.
Thank you once again for everything you have done over the years. We will always remember your kindness and support.
With warmest thanks and very best wishes

Ethan Barraclough has been managing our small estate in central London for over a year now. Ethan is hard-working conscientious and gets things done. He has made a big difference to the standard of management of our small but very complex housing scheme. Ashley Britz, the administrator for the major works team, has also helped get some momentum going for the major refurbishment projects that have been urgently needed for sometime at our site. It is a pleasure to work with both Ethan and Ashley. Their efforts are very much appreciated by the Directors of the Freehold.

Terrible services
Terrible services. Very slow to fix issues, inflated costs for no reason, no transparency, terrible communication...Save time, money and stress and use a different building management company.
EDIT: some of the issues are car park gates broken for months with no update (leading to thieves coming in, someone came to fix them and within two weeks they are broken again), Haus increasing their admin fee this year by 900% without any explanation, Haus not providing the 2024 accounts to the new managing company, ...

Unprofessional management
Extremely unprofessional management of an essential service outage affecting around 100 flats, including vulnerable residents.
Hot water restoration deadlines were missed, communication was inadequate, and the issue is continuing into a bank holiday weekend. This is not an isolated incident, raising concerns about planning, contingency management, and whether lessons are being learned.
We were told residents have no ability to change the managing agent despite repeated service failures, which makes accountability even more important.
The standard of service falls below reasonable expectations.

Genavieve Williams is amazing
Genavieve Williams is amazing, she was very quick to assist me and resolve my query. However, my overall experience with HAUS has been quite disappointing. Before Genavieve stepped in, none of my emails were answered for several days, and all their correspondence arrives a month later than is dated, making it obsolete, such as the information about the general meeting in April arriving in May.

Fair Practise
They conduct AGM for NSQ and break rules of not recording AGM, and they also open about request for not recording is from NSQ board. Seems Board members are controlling HAUS. Did Board and HAUS voilated the Company's Articles of Association ?. During AGM, leaseholder requested meeting to be recorded and HAUS didnt do it. Unfair practise and leasholders questions were ignored. Leaseholders emails are being ignored. HAUS is refusing to relect Board Members, also refusing to call EGM.

Dear Christian,
We appreciate the frustration caused by the lift outage and recognise the inconvenience this has created for residents, particularly those who rely on the lift for accessibility.
The matter has been actively progressed with specialist lift contractors and has involved ongoing investigations and assessments to identify and address the issues affecting the lift. Whilst the matter has taken longer to resolve than anticipated, efforts have continued throughout to progress the matter towards a resolution.
We understand residents' concerns and thank them for their patience whilst the necessary investigations and works are being undertaken.

Incredible staff & service
We got Right to Manage for our building in autumn of 2024 & have been so impressed with how Haus took over managing it.
Our current building manager, Jennie Roos, in particular, is an absolute star: calm, confident & conscientious in her approach & absolutely dependable.
There were many issues to resolve following over 10 years of mismanagement by the previous building management company (who were employed by the Freeholder & actively engaged in maximising profit for them).
Haus are systematically sorting out all of these legacy issues (from neglected maintenance to outstanding debts & missing compliance) - while providing excellent value.
We also want to give particular credit to Katerina Kaplanova, our project manager for the cladding issue that’s arisen in the last year or so.
She’s incredibly experienced, capable & committed to ensuring we get the best outcomes possible from the works that the developer will undertake.
Both of them are also great to work with - funny & frank as well as formidably organised & efficient.
