Had my assessment with Ellie today

Had my assessment with Ellie today, I’ve been an absolute mess for a week wondering what was going on making myself sick with worry. But as soon as Ellie called me and we started talking I instantly relaxed and was happy to be offered a new home for me and my family! Well done Ellie and keep up the wonderful work you do!

Neighbours of Yorkshire Housing tenants- AVOID

I live next door to tenants of Yorkshire Housing.

I grew up in a yorkshire housing home myself so i have nothing against their tenants in general and i was happy to purchase a home next door to a yorkshire housing property.

However, for the past 2 and a half years, we have been living next door to a family that daily display anti social behaviour. This behaviour was displayed from the first day they moved in. We regularly have disturbed sleep to be woken up by loud banging, screaming and shouting etc Police regularly attend the scene and have made arrests. Our neighbors have also been on our property numerous times and have threatened myself and my husband. They have also shouted abuse at neighbours that pass by their home in the street.
Yorkshire housing have been fully aware of the case and it is now with the enforcement team. (2 and a half years later) However, the progress for dealing with anti social behaviour has been poor and extremely slow. To clarify, our neighbours display this behaviour daily, some days it has been so extreme we have been advised to stay away from the property.

Unfortunately this has massively put us off yorkshire housing as an organisation, we will never purchase a property next door to yorkshire housing tenants again which is sad as we feel if this situation had been handled correctly and given the time it required, we wouldn't have such an outlook.

However we feel the lack of response to this case has negatively effected our emotional well being and lead us to hate being in our own home due to a lack of peace.

I would not recommend yorkshire housing as an organisation as a result of this awful experience.

Hi Ayesha, I'm very sorry to hear you're experiencing antisocial behaviour where you live. That really doesn't sound like a good situation especially considering your previously positive experience growing up in a YH home. If you feel that the ASB still hasn't been dealt with properly, we do have a complaints process you can go through either by calling us or by filling in a form on our website https://www.yorkshirehousing.co.uk/your-home/customer-feedback/#customerfeedbackform. I hope we’re able to resolve it for you. Thanks, Shuang

I am living next door to a young couple…

I am living next door to a young couple who have had 3 children in 4 years, they've had the police called out for violence so many times I've lost count, obviously Yorkshire housing are informed every time. The neighbours on the other side have had so many abusive threats Yorkshire housing fitted them with a door camera , for nothing to change they decided they would fit the couples house with a door camera, I mean whst are they waiting for, something to go really wrong, youd think theyd be trying to prevent it. Social services are dealing with them for violence, drug abuse, alcohol abuse and so on, every time I go out of my house I'm being shouted at abd threatened, we have recording after recording of evidence how long this is going on yet nothing is being done about it.
Feel totally abandoned by Yorkshire housing. I've lived here 21 years and have loved every minute until this happened

Amazing

I had to ring Yorkshire Housing today about an adaptation to my home.
The lady I spoke to Suzanne Pugh was amazing, so kind and caring and did everything she could to try and help.

What a difference in comparison to a negative experience I had last week with another member of staff at Yorkshire Housing

Thank you

A Fine Yorkshire Firm For Grand Yorkshire People

I’ve been a Yorkshire Housing tenant for 20 years this year, and I can’t imagine ever having anyone else as my landlord. I would say my experiences of dealing with YH are 98% positive in all that time, the vast majority of staff really care about the people in their properties and want to try to make their lives pleasant and fulfilling.

Of the few less than wonderful experiences I’ve had, all of them have involved contractors working on YH’s behalf rather than YH itself, and YH have always strived to sort out any issues and make things right.

This year my flat has been upgraded with smart heaters and a smart water heater, all of which cost far less to run and can be controlled via an app on my phone, or simply by telling Alexa what I want them to do, there’s a real Buck Rogers in the 25th Century vibe! These new devices learn from my usage and anticipate when I’ll want heating or hot water and charge up during cheaper periods to save me money on my electric bill. They’ve also installed solar panels which have made a big difference to my electricity bill, especially given the sunny weather we’ve had this year. It’s basically free to do my clothes washing during the day and run my aircon unit, which is a devil for eating up electricity.

As a disabled tenant, it’s important to feel my landlord cares about my wellbeing, and Yorkshire Housing definitely does that. They’ve fitted enhancements and adaptations to my flat to make life easier for me, and they also put me in touch with the right people to ensure I’m getting the right support. It feels good to feel the people you deal with at YH want you to be happy and supported where you need to be.

They’re a grand Yorkshire firm for grand Yorkshire people. They could only be any better if they paid my electricity bill for me. Hopefully after reading this they will 😁

(They won’t, but how good would that be if they did?!?! 😂😂😂)

Positive support.

I live in a sheltered scheme Chestnut Court and I want to say the Scheme Manager Paula Lawton-Perry is really helpful, I struggle to fill in forms and she has helped me with these taking away the stress.
