Useless company
Useless, scandalous company. Chloe Heffer and Annamarie Steyn have been ignoring my emails for months whilst our block turns into a slum. They don’t do anything apart from send a communal email here and there and then just give up and ignore further chases about pending issues. They’re very quick as a company to chase you for money when it’s due though. Joke.
IN RESPONSE TO REPLY:
Unfortunately I don’t believe a word you say anymore - I’ve been trying to get responses from Chloe Heffer and Annamarie Steyn for months about my neighbours and the constant problems around the development but I’ve been ignored - so there is no communication or action like you say, so you telling me you’re working towards sorting the problem sounds like a pack of lies to be honest.
***UPDATE - Still nothing from Haus after being told they’d reach out. Nothing has been done, no communication, no nothing. Absolutely embarrassing

Dear Jamie Leach,
We're sorry to hear that you feel this has been your experience.
We have looked into the points you have raised and our records show that there has been ongoing communication about the issues affecting the estate, together with action taken where appropriate. We appreciate that some matters can take time to resolve, particularly where they involve the behaviour of other residents, and we understand this can be frustrating.
We remain committed to addressing issues that are reported to us and will continue to investigate concerns and take appropriate action where it is within our remit to do so. If there is a particular matter that you believe still requires our attention, please contact us directly so that we can review it with you.
Regards,

I have had a very poor experience with Haus.
There have been ongoing building security issues which have remained unresolved for months, despite residents raising concerns. This is particularly frustrating because security is a basic responsibility of building management, not an optional extra.
At the same time, our service charge has increased without a clear or satisfactory explanation. Residents have asked for more information and transparency about the charges, but we have either received no response or responses that do not meaningfully address the questions raised.
The overall impression is of a company that is happy to increase costs but slow or unwilling to engage with legitimate resident concerns. The lack of communication has made the situation much worse, as we are left chasing repeatedly for updates on matters that directly affect the safety, cost and day-to-day running of the building.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend Haus unless they significantly improve their responsiveness, transparency and handling of urgent building management issues.

Dear Nina,
We are sorry to read that some residents have been dissatisfied with aspects of the estate's management, and we thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
While we appreciate that security concerns and service charge increases can understandably cause frustration, we feel it is important to provide additional context.
Over the past eight days, Haus has received 17 reviews raising substantially the same concerns. Given this, we took it upon ourselves as senior managers, to investigate the matters raised and would like to share our findings to ensure that the circumstances are presented accurately and with the appropriate context.
Regarding the car park gate, the issue was first reported on 17 May 2026 when it became stuck in the closed position. A contractor attended promptly and, following their inspection, a quotation was received and approved on the same day to avoid unnecessary delay.
The repair required a replacement part and works were scheduled for 9 June 2026. Shortly before the visit, the contractor advised that the incorrect part had been ordered, requiring a replacement and causing an unavoidable delay outside Haus's direct control. We remained in regular contact with the contractor, and the repair was completed on 18 June 2026, restoring the gate to working order.
A further issue affecting the same gate was reported on 22 June 2026. The contractor attended the same day and identified a separate, unrelated fault requiring additional remedial works. The quotation was received and approved on 24 June 2026, and we are currently awaiting confirmation of the contractor's attendance date.
A separate issue affecting the second vehicle gate was reported on 16 June 2026. The contractor attended the following day and restored the gate to working order.
On 24 June 2026, a further issue relating to the pedestrian gate was reported to our team. As with the previous reports, the matter was immediately referred to the contractor, who has been instructed to attend the site to investigate the fault. We are currently awaiting the contractor's findings to determine the cause of the issue and any remedial works that may be required. As this demonstrates, each reported fault has been acted upon promptly, and we continue to work proactively with the contractor to resolve any issues as they arise.
We also note the comments regarding service charge increases. Service charges are based on an approved annual budget reflecting the forecast cost of managing and maintaining the estate, including maintenance, repairs, utilities, insurance, statutory compliance and contractor services. As these costs change over time, service charges may increase or decrease accordingly. These adjustments reflect the anticipated cost of operating the estate rather than discretionary decisions by Haus.
Finally, we acknowledge that some reviews have been submitted by residents familiar with Haus through a previous management appointment. While that appointment concluded, Haus was subsequently appointed by the freeholder to manage the wider estate and Block B. We remain committed to fulfilling those responsibilities professionally and to working collaboratively with the freeholder, contractors and residents to maintain the estate to the highest possible standard.
We hope that, moving forward, we can continue to work together in a constructive and positive manner. We would like to reassure all residents that any issues reported to us will continue to be investigated promptly, progressed with the appropriate contractors or stakeholders where necessary, and addressed as quickly as reasonably possible.
Best regards

Deliberately delaying and ignoring
They ignore your emails, they don’t respond phone calls. If you don’t give up, they respond after 10 minutes, and several times sudenly play “Hello? Hello?” a can’t-hear-you pre-recorded sound. Then they drag the matter into next work week even though you had underlined to them that it’s an urgent matter, they are then suddenly absent, even though via other phone number you conclude they are actually in the office. On Friday 4pm - the phone line doesn’t even ring, as if it’s an incorrect number. Overall, they will do everything to keep you in the dark and not respond to your query, even though they manage the building that is your home. Simply - Unbelievable.

Haus has been very poor since taking over management of our estate. Communication is almost non-existent — residents chase for updates and rarely get a clear response.
The car park gates have been left open or broken for weeks despite repeated reports, during which time we’ve had parcel thefts, attempted bike thefts and now a stolen motorcycle.
Haus only manage the estate’s communal areas, yet charges have roughly doubled compared with the previous agent. Paying more for a worse, less secure service makes no sense. I would not recommend Haus.

Unreliable
I have lived in a building in south London that is "managed" by Haus for 10 years. I have watched as it his deteriorated over the years, and any issue no matter how small has taken months to resolve.
Most recently they have neglected to repair the access gates to the car park, and with this lapse in security tenants have suffered burglaries, break-ins and even vehicle theft.

Absolutely terrible
Absolutely terrible - really poor communication and total inaction despite serious safety concerns to residents in the building after car park gates have been left open for more than a month; we've had several successful and attempted burglaries, thefts and trespassers, and we've made repeated attempts to raise issues -- every time we've been ignored. I feel unsafe in my own home and there is a very simple way to resolve this, by sending out contractors to fix the gates! It's absolutely beyond me how this hasn't been considered a high or immediate priority -- but as a relatively recent resident, I know that there have been longstanding issues with Haus for many years. I would avoid having to engage with them at all costs.

Total Incompetence, Zero Accountability – Avoid Haus Like the Plague
We appointed Haus three years ago via our RTM company, and it has been an absolute disaster.
They have consistently demonstrated that they are either completely out of their depth or simply do not care about managing properties. Their level of incompetence is unparalleled.
Here is a summary of our experience:
* Gross Negligence of Essential Maintenance: Haus has been completely unresponsive to leaseholders' queries. They failed to carry out critical major works, including urgent roof repairs, water leaks that were requested and assessed as critical by both the RTM and the leaseholders.
*Shocking Customer Service: Maintenance tickets and emails go ignored for months. To make matters worse, they routinely mark outstanding maintenance tickets as "completed" without taking any action or providing a resolution. It happened to me twice and to other residents often enough.
* Disregard for Resident Safety: While we managed to terminate them for the main building, they unfortunately remain in charge of the grounds management. Under their watch, the parking gates have been broken for over two months. The main gate was reported to their emergency number on the 15th May. They forced open the gate and disabled the mechanism so it would stay open all the time while they would investigate the fault and carry out repairs. The other gate was broken since April. They have NOT showed up until mid June. This negligence has led directly to a motorbike theft and unauthorised intruders roaming the property at all hours. Haus has shown zero regard for our safety, offering nothing but vague updates with no explanation of the fault and no timeline for a fix. Two months is simply unacceptable!!
* Unjustified Double Fees & Lack of Transparency: Their management fees are double those of our previous provider for the exact same scope of work. As leaseholders we formally requested clarification on their fees back in February and chased them 3 times since. To this day, we are still waiting. They keep avoiding to provide any justification for this massive spike in charges, and they continuously stonewall our requests to hand over the accounts so we can review their legitimacy.
Haus operates like cowboys, taking advantage of the fact that their contract is secured by the freeholder. They will hold your property hostage, take your money, and deliver absolutely zero value. And you always get vague responses to specific queries or issues raised, never evidence driven, never holding themselves accountable.
Do yourself a massive favor and AVOID HAUS LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Poor communication, higher charges, and serious security issues
Haus have been very poor since taking over the management of our estate.
Communication is almost non-existent. Residents report issues and chase for updates, but there is rarely any clear response or ownership.
The car park gates have been left open/not working for weeks, despite repeated reports. During this time, there have been parcel thefts, attempted bike thefts and now a motorcycle stolen from the estate.
Haus only manage the estate areas, including the car park, gardens and communal external areas, yet the charges have increased significantly — around double compared with the previous managing agent.
It is hard to understand how residents are paying more for a worse service, poor communication and unresolved security issues.
I would not recommend Haus based on this experience.

Really poor management overall when…
Really poor management overall when managing our building (my water leak took months to be sorted and nearly 3 years later nobody has come to repair the damage caused to my flat) and now also, when managing the states -our parking gates have been unattended for weeks and weeks despite numerous complaints. We have had also burglars coming in at night. Total insecurity with HAUS - I would never recommend this company. Extremely poor service.

On 24 June 2026, a further issue relating to the pedestrian gate was reported to our team. As with the previous reports, the matter was immediately referred to the contractor, who has been instructed to attend the site to investigate the fault. We are currently awaiting the contractor's findings to determine the cause of the issue and any remedial works that may be required. As this demonstrates, each reported fault has been acted upon promptly, and we continue to work proactively with the contractor to resolve any issues as they arise.
We also note the comments regarding service charge increases. Service charges are based on an approved annual budget reflecting the forecast cost of managing and maintaining the estate, including maintenance, repairs, utilities, insurance, statutory compliance and contractor services. As these costs change over time, service charges may increase or decrease accordingly. These adjustments reflect the anticipated cost of operating the estate rather than discretionary decisions by Haus.
Finally, we acknowledge that some reviews have been submitted by residents familiar with Haus through a previous management appointment. While that appointment concluded, Haus was subsequently appointed by the freeholder to manage the wider estate and Block B. We remain committed to fulfilling those responsibilities professionally and to working collaboratively with the freeholder, contractors and residents to maintain the estate to the highest possible standard.
We hope that, moving forward, we can continue to work together in a constructive and positive manner. We would like to reassure all residents that any issues reported to us will continue to be investigated promptly, progressed with the appropriate contractors or stakeholders where necessary, and addressed as quickly as reasonably possible.
Best regards

Safety issue - slow or no reply
We have our block of buildings gate open for the past months. There are bycicle and motorbikes thieves just walking by the open gates and having a go.
Haus has been unresponsive and poorly managing a situation that is leaving us at safety risk.
All through out billing is and not providing clarity on the breakdown. Utterly irresponsible and malpractice.

Dear Joao Silva,
We are sorry to read that some residents have been dissatisfied with aspects of the estate's management, and we thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
While we appreciate that security concerns and service charge increases can understandably cause frustration, we feel it is important to provide additional context.
Over the past eight days, Haus has received 17 reviews raising substantially the same concerns. Given this, we took it upon ourselves as senior managers, to investigate the matters raised and would like to share our findings to ensure that the circumstances are presented accurately and with the appropriate context.
Regarding the car park gate, the issue was first reported on 17 May 2026 when it became stuck in the closed position. A contractor attended promptly and, following their inspection, a quotation was received and approved on the same day to avoid unnecessary delay.
The repair required a replacement part and works were scheduled for 9 June 2026. Shortly before the visit, the contractor advised that the incorrect part had been ordered, requiring a replacement and causing an unavoidable delay outside Haus's direct control. We remained in regular contact with the contractor, and the repair was completed on 18 June 2026, restoring the gate to working order.
A further issue affecting the same gate was reported on 22 June 2026. The contractor attended the same day and identified a separate, unrelated fault requiring additional remedial works. The quotation was received and approved on 24 June 2026, and we are currently awaiting confirmation of the contractor's attendance date.

Extremely poor property management and lack of communication
In my experience, Haus have been extremely poor at managing our estate and communal external areas.
We have had serious security issues for weeks, with the car park gates left open/not working properly and no meaningful action taken. There have been several break-ins, attempted bike thefts and parcel thefts, yet Haus have failed to communicate properly with residents or provide any clear plan to resolve the issue.
There has been little to no communication for over 6 weeks, despite residents repeatedly raising concerns. This is not a minor inconvenience — it is a serious security issue affecting residents, their homes, belongings and peace of mind.
Haus manage the estate areas, including the gardens, car park and surrounding communal areas, so it is very concerning that these issues have been allowed to continue for this long without proper action or updates.
Residents pay service charges and expect basic estate management, communication and action when security is compromised. Instead, Haus appear to be ignoring the severity of the situation.
Very disappointing service and I would not recommend them based on this experience.

worst managed company i have come across my entire career
do not be fooled by unauthentic reviews. this is absolutely the worst company i have come across in my entire 35 years business career.
the do not return calls or answer complaints. at the moment they -again- did not pay the cleaners for three months and consequently the building is not cleaned properly. staff changes every 3-4 months.
horrible horrible service

Dear Eyal Yanai,
We are sorry that you felt the need to leave this review.
We have received confirmation from the cleaning contractor that cleaning services have continued throughout and have not been suspended at any stage.
The property management team has remained in direct contact with the cleaning contractor regarding all service-related and administrative matters, and the contractor has confirmed that there has been no interruption to the services provided at the building.
We remain committed to maintaining service standards and appreciate all feedback received.
