Had a new kitchen fitted .

Had a new kitchen fitted by Wayne. This man is a real grafter, does not stop. His work is first class and Flagship should consider themselves very lucky to employ him. The electricians and plasterers were also extremely good. I am very pleased with the work carried out. My house was left clean and tidy, I was informed throughout of what was happening. A far cry from the last work carried out in my house by TM Browne, who left my house looking like a building site.

Flagship's Shared Ownership scheme disaster


My experience with Flagship Housing Association as a shared ownership customer has been extremely disappointing. While many positive reviews appear to come from tenants, the experience of shared ownership leaseholders who eventually buy their homes outright is very different.

When I purchased the remaining 50% share of my property, I obtained valuations from three independent estate agents. All three produced very similar valuations. However, Flagship insisted on instructing their own surveyor, whose valuation came in around £20,000 higher than the highest of the three independent valuations I had obtained. I had no realistic choice but to accept their inflated valuation because it was the only way I could buy the remaining share of my own home. Even the mortgage lender's valuation was lower. In effect, I was forced to pay significantly more simply because Flagship controlled the process.

The second issue concerns the right of pre-emption. Even after purchasing 100% of the property and owning it as a freehold, this restriction remained on the title deeds, meaning I still needed Flagship's permission before selling my own home. I was told this restriction was no longer legally enforceable and that Flagship would waive it. I even paid £159 for the necessary paperwork to have the matter resolved. Despite this, they made the process unnecessarily difficult and, ultimately, the restriction was never removed because they assured me it would not cause any problems when I came to sell.

That assurance has turned out to be completely wrong.

I am now selling the property and the right of pre-emption is causing significant delays because it still appears on the Land Registry title. I initially tried to resolve the matter myself, but after months of difficulty I have had to instruct my solicitor. This is now likely to cost me close to £1,000 in additional legal fees because Flagship requires payment before dealing with the matter. My solicitor must now involve the Land Registry to remove a restriction that Flagship should have dealt with years ago. To make matters worse, there are additional charges simply to have the paperwork processed more quickly.

Throughout this process, I have felt that at every opportunity Flagship has sought to extract more money from homeowners rather than support the people they claim to be helping onto the property ladder.

I also question the service charges. Although my property is a freehold semi-detached house, I was being charged what I considered excessive service charges. When I asked for a detailed explanation of what I was actually paying for and challenged the charges, they suddenly reduced from almost £40 per month to just £40 per year. That raises serious questions about how those charges were calculated in the first place.

Overall, my experience has been one of inflated valuations, unnecessary costs, poor communication and obstructive administration. I would urge anyone considering shared ownership with Flagship to understand exactly what rights they will have, what restrictions may remain after buying outright, and what costs they could face in the future.

Hi Carolina,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review and share your experience.
We are sorry to hear about the difficulties you have encountered. It appears that the issues you've raised relate to Flagship's Shared Ownership business and the staircasing and resale processes associated with that service.
As Flagship Homes have their own page, unfortunately I'm unable to investigate or comment on the specific matters you've described, including property valuations, title restrictions, service charges, or legal fees connected with your Shared Ownership home.
To ensure your feedback reaches the correct team and can be properly reviewed, we would encourage you to contact the Shared Ownership team directly. They will be best placed to look into the concerns you've raised and provide a response based on the details of your case.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope you are able to connect with the appropriate team to seek resolution.
Kind regards,
Sophie

Charlie did an amazing job with the bathroom. He was extremely helpful, polite, and professional throughout. You can tell he takes great pride in his work and has a real passion for what he does it’s much more than just a job to him. He is by far the best person I’ve met from Flagship, and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided.
