About Homemade Homes

Written by the company

We are Homemade Homes the experienced property sales team within Accent Housing. Homemade Homes by Accent is a brand name for the sale of homes owned by Accent Housing Limited and Accent Homemade Limited.

We specialise in Shared Ownership, another way to buy your home. You buy a percentage and pay rent on the rest. We own just part of it – but you’re living there, you decorate it and decide when to sell.

Buying a percentage means a smaller deposit and a smaller mortgage. It’s a sooner first step on the ladder for lots of people. Usually, you can carry on buying further shares to own it 100%.

Buying a share means you need a lower mortgage and deposit than purchasing a property outright. This makes it a cost-effective way to own your own home and ideal for first-time buyers. Shared Ownership usually works out less per month than renting privately.

We want to be ‘with you for your journey’, whether that is helping you to take the first step onto the housing ladder or helping you search for a new home, we will be right there with you.

We have Shared Ownership homes across the country, from Surrey to Yorkshire and have helped hundreds of people fulfil their home ownership ambitions. We offer new and resale Shared Ownership homes as well as helping our current customers buy more of their home or sell it when they want to move on.

Gross Maladministration: they ignore their own policies

Absolutely disgraceful customer service.

I was offered a shared ownership property. I was (buy their own policy definition),the first fully verified eligible applicant, meeting every single criteria required. The property was mine by their own published policy.

They then breached that policy without hesitation, reversing the decision in favour of an applicant who had not completed the required verification at the point the offer was made to me.

First come, first served: their words, not mine.

They just chose not to follow it.

When I raised this, the member of staff I had been dealing with went completely silent. No response, no explanation, no accountability. If you raise legitimate concerns that threaten their decisions, Homemade Homes will simply ignore you and hope you go away.

I didn’t. I won’t.

Fortunately I have fantastic solicitors through my union in the NHS who have described this as a slam dunk.

Litigation incoming!

Apparently even their own published policy means nothing to this organisation.

Be warned.

We are very sorry to read about your experience and the concerns you have raised. What you have described is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating this situation must feel.

This matter should not have occurred in the way you have outlined. Our Head of Sales will now be undertaking a full review of the circumstances surrounding your application and the processes followed, so we can fully understand what happened.

We take feedback and complaints seriously, particularly where questions are raised about how our policies have been applied. It is important to us that our procedures are followed consistently and transparently.

If I could rate 0 stars I absolutely would. Never been helpful. Never been very good at communicating. Constantly up service charge but what this even helps with I do not know.

We are at the end of our selling process and all they have done is make the process as DIFFICULT as possible. Extremely unorganised and poor at responding. Incompetent comes to mind. Even our solicitor has said they have never done anything right from the start and he is lost for words at how poor they are. I would never ever recommend them to anyone, I really wish I had never gone with them. Honestly wish luck to anyone dealing with them.

Aftercare what aftercare?

Please be aware that the majority of positive reviews for this company are from people who haven’t yet experienced the non-existent aftercare. Homemade homes send out review invitations as soon as you’ve reserved your property as if that’s the end of the process. I encourage buyers to wait until they’ve moved into the property before reviewing. I have been trying to get multiple defects corrected for over three months. I get told I’m on a 28 day ticket only for nothing to happen. So I contact the ‘aftercare’ team again, (and be aware that every email takes five days to get a response) then I’m told they will chase the developer (I’ve had this multiple times for the same defect). I’m now told that a defect with my kitchen window isn’t covered by the developer’s warranty. No explanation as to why. The glass is faulty and needs fixing. I didn’t get this house for free! I worked hard for it. Surely I’m entitled to want my new home to be perfect when I move into it? Get your act together Homemade Homes.

Absolutely would not recommend.

Absolutely would not recommend.

We bought our first home with Homemade Homes and were so excited to move in. We had such a long day with the movers, and just wanted to get clean and order some food. Whilst the shower was in use, we had a massive leak come through our living room ceiling.
We called the emergency number who couldn't care less and asked if it was really an emergency and could we not contain it ourselves, after some time and several phone calls they said someone would be out in the next 6 hours.. we ended up having several plumbers attend over the following months and several holes made in the ceiling to finally find out the waste cap pipe was never fitted and no one had checked this before sign off.
We did not have access to the bath or shower during this time, they advised it would be on a 28 day ticket and when I advised this was an emergency as we had no bath or shower, I was told to boil the kettle and bathe in the kitchen sink.

We have a list of over 100 issues from minor to major which have still not been actioned, we were lied to about several aspects of the house we bought, when we mentioned these to Accent/Allison they couldn't care less and said tough you get what you get.
The garden slopes massively from the top and is up and down, uneven all over so there is nowhere for our furniture or a shed to go, we will have to spend thousands on getting this sorted which you do not expect to be an issue when purchasing a new build.
You can not use the loft, which was not advised to us before purchase, again another cost to have this converted.
The cupboard space they boast about in their advertisement videos is less than half the size shown. Again, when complained about, we were told tough.
So now we have no storage space whatsoever.

We have had nothing but stress and anguish since day 1 of moving in, sent hundreds of emails to aftercare and spent hours on the phone to try and get our new home put to the standard it should have been in the first place, we feel like this is going to go on for years as it has already been 6 months with a small percentage of the issues being looked into.

Everyone who works there does not care, no apologies, and no compensation.

The houses are low standard, quick builds that are not checked properly, they are overpriced and sold with many, many lies and with zero care from anyone that works for these companies.
They have absolutely ruined what should have been a lovely memory on the achievement of buying our first home, completely tarnished by incompetence.

Warning and advice: never, ever buy from them!!

We dealt mostly with Charlotte and Ashley. They were both incredible patient and understanding with us from the start when we had a hundred questions for them and was suffering with anxiety throughout the process they was always available at the end of an email to calm our nerves and provide answers to any questions we had.

No question was ever regarded as silly and an answer was always given. They was always available at the end of the phone or an email. Any queries where answered quickly and all relevant paperwork was always provided to us when we enquired.

I could not recommend the team enough.
