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.

Great team!

Nothing has been too much for Lucy throughout the whole process, even with all the delays/issues on my side. Aaron was also a star when Lucy wasn't available.
Will recommend in future where relevant.

Lucy woods

Lucy woods. After 3 months of things going lost, correspondence not even looked at for months I rang in desperation. Thankfully Lucy answered, grabbed it and ran with it. Between the 2 of us we've got this done in a matter of weeks. Thankyou Lucy.

Not Fixed Issues

Edited:
I read some reviews from some customers here who raised some concerns about their purchased that have some issues in which they tried to communicate it and given some not helpful answers. As being a curious cat that I am, I wanted to know how they handle this given that some were reporting it now here in online in which everyone can see it.

After more readings in here, I've come to a conclusion that they actually do reply to such reviews or concerns of the people in just a span of hour/s. I also noticed that they genuinely want to fix what is being raised.

Aftercare non existent

In hindsight “red flags” were there and we should never have continued with our purchase. Despite passing Accents accredited financial advisors affordability checks, the sales manager took it upon himself to tell us he didn’t think we could afford the property, (after agreeing a sale with me) he then went on to search the house we had sold on rightmove and quiz us about it.
The aftercare team talk to you as though you are stupid, their answer for everything is go to the ombudsman.
We were ignored when we noticed the flooring wasn’t sealed in the bathroom and now we need replacements due to moisture getting under the vinyl and in to the skirting boards. Fed up!
