Extremely poor housing association. Absolutely no care at all for tenants who make noise complaints. We have had a case open for over a year about noisy upstairs neighbours. We was told that nothing... See more

Poor customer service

Customer service is poor and not effective at communicating to relevant organisations when problems occur. Bureaucratic approach and managers avoid taking responsibility, leaving it to subordinates to deal with.
Very disappointing.

No joined up writing

No joined up writing, no cross referencing between complaints, and repairs, nobody ever gets back to you when they say they will and worst of all when they finally do they ask you what’s the problem after you’ve left messages for them telling what it is.
Left Hand Right Hand comes to mind ……and the band played on!
Hopeless nil point!

Complained about damp and mould

Complained about damp and mould, got told they need to speak to property owner. They then sent a plumber round for Damp coming from the gutters/eaves. No one willing to talk or even look at the issues and I've now got black mould growing in bedrooms and the loo.

In the realm of housing and community…Eastlight Community Homes was nothing short of exemplary.

In the realm of housing and community services, the effectiveness and empathy of an organization can profoundly impact the lives of its residents. Eastlight Community Homes exemplifies this truth, having recently navigated us through a series of challenging circumstances with commendable professionalism and genuine care. Our journey, marked by multiple repairs and unforeseen floods, could easily have spiralled into a relentless ordeal. Yet, the response from Eastlight Community Homes was nothing short of extraordinary.

From the onset, every individual we had the pleasure of communicating with at Eastlight exhibited a level of compassion and understanding that was deeply reassuring. It’s rare to encounter a collective of people so uniformly committed to alleviating the stress and discomfort of those they serve. The myriad of issues we faced, including but not limited to, significant repairs in the upstairs bathroom, rectifications in the downstairs toilet, kitchen refurbishments, flooring overhauls, and various electrical fixes, were met with an unwavering resolve.

The standout feature of our experience, however, was not merely the resolution of these issues. It was the way Eastlight Community Homes managed the process. They kept us in the loop with regular updates, ensuring we were never left wondering about the progress of our repairs. This level of communication is a testament to their understanding that the heart of great service lies in not just solving problems but in making the journey as comfortable as possible for those affected.

Eastlight Community Homes didn’t just repair our home; they restored our peace of mind with a level of service that was, quite frankly, fantastic. Their ability to turn a series of potentially distressing setbacks into an affirmation of their commitment to their community members is laudable. This is not just a matter of completing tasks but doing so with a degree of excellence that sets them apart.

In summary, our experience with Eastlight Community Homes was nothing short of exemplary. Their blend of technical proficiency, empathetic customer service, and consistent communication underscored a level of dedication that deserves recognition. To the entire team at Eastlight Community Homes, a heartfelt well done. Your efforts have not only resolved our immediate concerns but have also reinforced our faith in the power of community-focused service.

Greenfields had its faults but give it…

Greenfields had its faults but give it credit it tried to rectify them but since Eastlight has taken over, oh boy now you can see what a couldn’t careless company does first hand. Apathy rules! They just don’t give a toss!
