You guys don’t answer the phone…

The worst letting agency I’ve ever had…
The worst letting agency I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
HCGB’s customer service is genuinely a joke. They don’t answer the phone, they promise to call you back and then mysteriously disappear. Emails? Ignored. Complaints? Ignored. Complaint reference number? Apparently classified information.
Parcels have been stolen, issues with the property have been reported and, instead of actually helping, I’ve essentially been told I’d be better off fixing things myself because HCGB don’t want to pay for it. Incredible service.
Now they’re trying to charge me October’s rent despite my tenancy contractually ending in September, claiming I gave notice 12 days too late. I’ve repeatedly asked them to explain the legal basis for this and, shockingly, I’m being ignored again.
Special mention to Briya Calame, Terminations Manager, who apparently considers responding to tenants beneath her job description.
At this point, I’m escalating this to the Ombudsman and seriously considering documenting my entire experience with HCGB publicly.
If you’re thinking of renting through HCGB, save yourself the headache. Communication is non-existent, accountability is apparently optional, and customer service seems to be a completely foreign concept.
0/10. Would give 0 stars if Google allowed it.

I have nothing bad to say. During the time I’ve lived on the flat I never had any problems and every time
I needed any support I always had it sorted. Kinga was always very lovely and welcoming and every time I needed she promptly helped me.

**Years of Neglect
**Years of Neglect, Broken Promises and Zero Accountability**
My experience with HCGB has been **absolutely unacceptable**.
For **over two years**, the **letterbox was broken**, the **intercom never worked**, and the **communal gate remained broken**, leaving the building insecure. These issues were reported repeatedly, yet **nothing was properly repaired**. Complaints were ignored, tenants were left waiting, and there appeared to be **little to no accountability**.
What makes matters worse is the way HCGB handled communication. I was given **incorrect information about my notice period**, and when I challenged this, they were unable to provide **any proof of service or written communication** to support their position.
This is not what tenants should have to deal with after paying rent and expecting basic standards of management and maintenance.
Years of reporting problems with **no meaningful action**, followed by unclear and contradictory communication, shows a serious lack of professionalism and responsibility.
I have finally had enough and have decided to move on.
**Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to think very carefully before choosing HCGB.**
Fantastic Experience
The building manager, Kinga, hosts fantastic events and is always quick to help get any issues sorted as soon as possible. Her dedication and excellent communication truly add to our great experience here!

We lived in this flat for 5 years and had a great experience. A special mention to Kinga and the new management team — they have been absolutely amazing, very helpful, friendly and professional. Thank you for everything!
Positive experience overall
The property manager Kinga Popow is an absolute gem. She is always making all the residents feel well looked after. She is endlessly reliable, goes above and beyond and handles any problems calmly whilst keeping us updated.
I sincerely hope she will stay in this role for a very long time!
