Metropolitan Thames Valley Opiniões 

I’m going to the housing ombudsman I carnt put up with no contact from them. Seriously why send a surveyor out absolutely crap

I would strongly urge anyone considering buying or living in a property managed by MTVH to carry out extensive due diligence before proceeding.
My experience with MTVH has raised serious concerns about the accuracy of account information and the way issues are dealt with once they are reported.
In my view, MTVH's handling of issues warrants much greater scrutiny, and I believe the organisation's account-management and customer-service practices should be subject to appropriate independent oversight.

Never in my life have i encountered a more inept and dishonest company such as MTVH. It's ran by the most unqualified and inhumain individuals imaginable.
Please avoid.

Horrendous experience. Can't wait to get out.

We live in Nottinghamshire and have recently had some pointing done under the front windows and I must say the job that was done was excellent, I can be a bit picky sometimes but really cannot fault the work done. Well done.

Chris was very helpful, and understood everything I needed to say and was very efficient.

I have been waiting for months for a dangerous pavement to be repaired. I had an inspection and was advised it is indeed dangerous and needs repairing/replacing. Still not repaired. I have to contually chase them for updates.

chris at mtvh was very professional at sorting my problem out! listened to what i had to say and dealt with it! well done! really pleased! 👍

Where do I start move in in January 2001 fast forward too 2022 sadly we lost Mum who owned this flat every from they're had just got worse and worse this year 2026 we had new windows fitted and absolute joke from start to finish nothing but issues two windows that managed to scratch and putting a fun in the window change the window way too early they're left us with a hole in the window for week things that happened when they're was installing the windows and we still had problems with the back door it wouldn't lock front door litter box they've knocked off but should have replaced that on Wednesday but the workman left outside on the wall and someone toke it we had more then we can take from the company who installed everything they're nothing but problems 4 weeks and gone into September and they're just finished they getting ready in the April we shouldn't allowed them to install the new window our old window was not good but the trouble we had with the new ones are a joke as said from start to finish

Words cannot describe what a fraudulent, diabolical shit show this organisation truly is. Edit: in case you actually believe their insincere reply, of course no one contacted me.

They made my leasehold flat a horrible place to live. Essential external doors frequently break, giving no access to the building at all, MTVH’s solution was to take away code access even though the given fobs do not work on many of the doors. People have knocked on my window or shouted through my window because of this. Postmen have gotten STUCK in the car park. I couldn’t recycle anything for YEARS as the bin would not be emptied, even after multiple complaints, submitted through their portal, which is the only way to log repairs. External emergency lighting does not work, despite multiple reports and call-outs. The electric gates have only worked about 10% of the time I lived there, which would have made my car insurance invalid and in the other car park, they would not open at all, leaving people stuck. Metworks is absolutely useless and seems a bit of a conflict of interest considering MTVH is a charity. The lift constantly broke, and out of service for weeks. Service charge is over £200 a MONTH for a dirty broken building. This isn’t typical for a management company, CP walker in Beeston is an excellent example of management done right. MTVH is a corrupt, negligent company that made me depressed to live in my own home. I lived there for 5 years

Our experience of MTVH has been one of poor communication, unreasonable handling of access and a complaints process that acknowledged service failures but failed to prevent the problems recurring.

We are two leaseholders in a small two-flat property. We have never objected to necessary fire-safety works. Our concerns have been about how MTVH managed them: unclear and inconsistent information, inadequate explanation of works and costs, threats of forced entry and lock changes, and poor communication with residents.

We each made separate Stage 1 and Stage 2 complaints, cross-referencing our shared experience where relevant. All of our complaints were upheld by MTVH.

Despite our Stage 1 complaints being upheld, the problems continued. While our Stage 2 complaints were under investigation, and despite our attempts to resolve the access issue, we were given approximately 24 hours' notice that the communal lock would be changed. The resulting events were extremely distressing.

MTVH subsequently upheld our Stage 2 complaints, acknowledging further service failures and that better communication and preparation could have prevented the situation from escalating.

What concerns us most is that these problems continued after MTVH had already recognised that its service had fallen short. Residents should be treated with courtesy, transparency and respect, particularly when legitimate concerns are raised.

We hope making our experience public encourages MTVH to turn its acknowledgements into meaningful change in how it treats and communicates with residents.

RESPONSE TO MTVH REPLY:
Thank you, Lee. Unfortunately, this response illustrates the problem described in our review.

We are two leaseholders who made separate, cross-referenced complaints. Our Stage 1 and Stage 2 complaints were upheld by MTVH, with significant communication and service failures acknowledged. We were then told that Stage 2 was the final response and the internal complaints process was complete.

Yet the poor communication continues. We have recently received further requests for access for supposedly essential fire-safety works, despite previously being told that the works had been completed. So what would completing another webform achieve?

The issue has already been investigated twice and upheld twice. What is needed is action on the acknowledged failures, not another form and another investigation. We have both now referred our respective complaints to the Housing Ombudsman.

Today i called and spoke to a lady who couldn't really give me the answers i wanted, however was very professional, then about half an hour later i received a voice mail where this lady i spoke too went further after our call to find the answers and act on them, she didn't have to do that but made me feel heard. Thank you Yvonne, i appreciate what you did and also a thank you to Kayleigh who was also very professional, helpful and polite when i made call to say Thank you. In a world where everything feels like hard work, i just wanted to say THANK YOU!

They are always so helpful and listen to any concerns you have. I am housebound and have addressed any mobility issues I have. Excellent service .

Spoke to Micheal today.
What a helpful member of staff.
Extremely helpful and very polite.

Less than ZERO if possible. Over 20 years of distress and it’s getting worse. I’m disabled on fourth floor… ONLY ONE LIFT ON BUILDING AND NOW VERY OLD AND BRAKING CONSTANTLY. MINIMUM ONE MONTH TO REPAIR IT OR EASILY 3 MONTHS WITHOUT LIFT…. THEY DONT REPAIR ANYTHING. I HAD A LEAK ON CEILING FOR YEARS…. HAD TO GET LAWYERS INVOLVED TO RESOLVE IT. IT WAS RAINING IN THE BEDROOM… WORSE HOUSING ASSOCIATION. Disgraceful, it has affected my health and mental well being because of them.

If there were zero stars then this would be chosen. Complaints process sends you in circles and refuses to answer the actual complaint and directs you to ombudsmen in the hopes you are so exhausted by the whole process you will give up. Repairs are not recorded properly, are then not repaired properly or the staff don’t turn up and mark as complete so you are left trying to rebook. The properties have structural and insulation problems but they refuse to deal with it. Charge illegal service charges and refuse to remove them. Every interaction is exhausting and an unnecessary battle. Any other company run like this would be investigated. We need a documentary or some form of public awareness around how they are run. It has to stop, it’s beyond ridiculous. And let me save you some time with your copy and paste response MTVH because as usual, it helps nobody:
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re sorry to hear you’ve had a negative experience with us and would like to take this as an opportunity to provide a solution. We’re aware that you’ve probably already reached out to us regarding your issue, but if you could fill out the attached webform with further details of the problem, and quote Trustpilot, we’d be happy to investigate it further.

Re response MTVH- if you were determined to put things right why are you refusing to help and have said I have to go to ombudsman to get illegal service charges fixed and I’m having to take legal action to get serious structural issues rectified. You do not want to resolve anything unless an external body forces you to. It’s absolutely disgusting.

Chris W was polite and listened well. He sorted the matter for me in a few minutes. Said he would email me, which he did within a few minutes. Very helpful.
