The Hyde Group Reviews 

I've had a very frustrating process working with Hyde on roof repairs to my building. Although they have only recently taken over the management of the building on each of the four visits by it seems that i have had to explain the issue as if it was a new problem even though the issue has been ongoing for over 4 years. Given this is an issue with a leak in the roof this is not an ideal situation. Incredibly frustrating. When i try to talk to someone about this i get told someone will call me and then nothing happens.

I am extremely disappointed with the way Pinnacle (partner to Hyde but no trust pilot page conveniently) have handled serious electrical issues at our home.

We have experienced sparking, crackling and electrical problems, which have understandably caused us significant concern about the safety of our home. Despite repeatedly raising these issues, we have been passed between Hyde and Pinnacle, with neither party taking responsibility for what has happened.

Pinnacle have sent operatives to our home to investigate and carry out works. I have serious concerns about whether the people sent were appropriately qualified to deal with the electrical issues we were experiencing. There were also significant communication difficulties, as the operatives sent to our property were unable to communicate with us in English, making it extremely difficult to understand what they were doing or what work had actually been carried out.

Following their attendance, we have experienced further electrical problems, leaving us even more concerned about the safety of the installation. Rather than properly investigating what has happened, we have now been told that the issues may have been present since we moved into the property, which is not our experience.

The most frustrating part is that nobody appears willing to accept responsibility or properly investigate whether the work carried out by Pinnacle has contributed to the problems we are now experiencing.

We have young children in the property, and this situation has had a serious impact on my mental health. I no longer feel safe in my own home because I cannot have confidence that the electrical system is safe.

At this point, I am seeking an independent opinion from a properly qualified electrician because I no longer have confidence in the way this issue has been handled. I should not have to reach this point simply to feel safe in my own home.

What should have been a straightforward repair has turned into an ongoing safety concern, with Hyde and Pinnacle passing responsibility between each other while we are left dealing with the consequences and potentially unsafe electrics.

I would strongly urge Hyde Housing to properly investigate what has happened, including the work carried out by the contractors they instructed, rather than simply passing responsibility elsewhere.

Shared ownership purchase process at Kidbrooke is taking over 6 months now and still counting. Hyde Group solicitors are useless, higher sales management is not helpful or is straightforward ignoring customers. Completion date was rescheduled 3 times already with no good will or effort to let us complete the purchase. Absolutely atrocious experience.

Professional and politeness

Very happy changed lock

Absolutely disgraceful customer service. In process of purchasing shared ownership property. Been told several times we will complete but this has not happened. We are now in temporary accomodation and belongings in storage. No one is helping. First time buyer.

Japanese knotweed concern – awaiting a response from Hyde

I am a neighbouring private property owner rather than a Hyde tenant. I have raised a concern with Hyde Housing Association regarding Japanese knotweed in connection with 8 Ashlar Place and the potential effect on neighbouring property.

I wrote formally to Hyde explaining the situation and asking what action they proposed to take. To ensure there was a clear record of notification, I sent the letter by recorded delivery and retained the delivery evidence.

At the time of writing, I have not received a substantive response addressing the concerns raised.

I have therefore also brought the matter to the attention of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the Regulator of Social Housing.

I am not making assumptions about liability or Hyde’s reasons for not responding. I simply believe that when a neighbouring property owner formally raises a potentially significant issue such as Japanese knotweed, it is reasonable to expect the matter to be acknowledged, investigated and answered.

I would be very happy to update this review if Hyde responds and explains what action it intends to take. I hope it does.

£50,000 / fifty thousand pounds, to "update" the CCTV system in a block of flats. This works out to more than £2,000 per camera. Make what you want of this.

The necessity of this update is debatable, and it appears to be a means to increase the service charges.

A very nice young man who explained everything.

The work men did a very good job and they were very quick

Pleasant operative,arrived within specified time good job done
