We are highly impressed and…

We are highly impressed and appreciative of the new manager Lee, he has been empathetic, he communicates well, we feel heard and listened to. He is a dedicated manager that gets things done. He won't say something and not see it through. He is the best manager we have. He has made a massive impact on each of us. He is transparent, supportive, motivational and he gives us hope that he will reach each outcome that he is working towards achieving.

Runnymede Court

The Runnymede Court site is an Anchor site for retirees over 55. It has had poor management for a number if years but has recently got a new site manager in, Lee has really got stuck into the problems with site and is making great headway. It's overall presentation is so much better now and he has tackled many issues on behalf of the residents in order to make life much more pleasant and safe. There are going problems that he has well in hand and Anchor should be very pleased to have this guy working for them.

My mum recently passed away

My mum recently passed away. She lived at Runnymede Court in Bolton. I had to make sure her flat was cleared. Lee the housing officer helped out a great deal. Which made things a little easier for me at such an upsetting and stressful time. Which I am very grateful for.

A good move

I had been watching & waiting for these flats to be built since 2023 & couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be offered one.
The offer came at a bad time in my personal & family life, but Penny & Jen couldn’t have been more understanding. Penny helped me with all the formalities & after giving 2 months notice to my previous landlord, here I am.
My apartment is beautiful & 4 weeks after moving in, I’m happy & it’s beginning to feel like home.

Mostly all is ok.
Unfortunately the shower has a leak and I am unable to move in.
This is disappointing as I am paying rent unnecessarily since the middle of April.
A new shower has been promised and hopefully will arrive shortly.

Joke company

Please don't be fooled by the photos of hanover gardens, I lived there for 5 years, and the worst 5 years of my life, I lived in one of there properties for 5 years, and with dampness. The estate manager is a joke, has she sits in her office for 4 hours a day, and does not want to know about her tenants. If you are thinking of moving here, I would think twice, there are better properties out there

Our renting with Anchor

Our experience had been very positive. We put our names down and were surprised when after a short time we had the option to view and then take the flat . The flat is situated in a quiet corner and everyone we have met in our short time here has been wonderful from the window cleaner to the gardeners . Our manager Matt has helped us through the process and is always on call for help or information. We are delighted

Moving into Hanover Court Liphook

The help and advice from the Estate Manager was efficient, professional and helpful at all times.

The long delay due to contractors issues in getting the unit ready fit for occupation was frustrating and at times seemed never ending.

On eventually taking occupation there still remained minor issues that needed resolving, with all but one item, replacement of a cracked bathroom sink, still needing to happen.

Nice people working hard,

The main feature of the Anchor House was the welcome given by both the residents and Staff when I arrived. There have been one or two problems, which can take a longer time than you would expect to be put right. I think the new management team are working hard to make these things things better.
