Testimonials

Here are what our members have to say about us

“I’ve been using the Citizens Advice Bureau page because I wanted independent advice, but have just found you guys! I’ve mainly used the free guides so far and found the ones on getting the estate agents on my side and viewing a property guides which include lots of things I wouldn’t have thought of or forget on the day.” Eliza M, Holloway, N London (October 2012)

“My sister recommended the HOA and sent me the “Hidden Costs” advice guide and I’ve found it really useful, but also a little scary that it’s not just the deposit I need to think about. Will keep using the site.” Katie, Aldeburgh Suffolk (August 2012)

“I joined because I needed advice on a range of issues I’m experiencing buying and selling at the moment. The team of independent experts you have to hand has really helped me get quick and thorough answers and without paying out each time. I’m just awaiting a reply to my third question. So yes, thanks, a great service.” Mike, Edenbridge, Kent (October 2012)

“I like it. A clean, engaging website. I am a fan.” Ralph Palmer, London (November 2012)

“Their expert’s advice was very helpful. I’m pleased the HomeOwners Alliance were there to help.” Evelyn, Daventry, who asked our expert if she could swap estate agents and avoid paying double commission

What do organisations we work with think of us?

“We welcome the HomeOwners Alliance, giving a voice to homeowners and those wanting to buy their first home, and ensuring their interests are properly championed in the media and across government. The industry has long had dozens of groups representing their interests, and it is about time the ordinary homeowner did. It can only be good news for homeowners and homeownership” Grant Shapps, (former) Housing Minister, (September 2012)

“A powerful report” Jack Dromey, Labour MP and shadow Housing Minister, on our report “The Death of a Dream”

“The HomeOwners Alliance will give homeowners a stronger voice on critical issues around buying, selling, owning and maintaining a home. TrustMark wholeheartedly supports the Alliance, and particularly welcomes its work in providing guidance to homeowners on repair, maintenance and home improvements, and its signposting to TrustMark registered firms.” Liz Male, Chairman of TrustMark, the Government endorsed quality mark for tradesmen

The Sunday Times reports: “Homeowners have a new champion. Home-ownership groups are common in Europe, ensuring individuals get a fair deal from industry and government. With the launch of the HomeOwners Alliance, British property owners finally have an ally.”
