Complaints Procedure

We are committed to providing a professional service to all our clients. When something goes wrong, we need you to tell us about it. This will help us to improve our standards.

If you have a complaint, please put it in writing and include as much detail as possible. We will then respond in line with the timeframes set out below. (If you feel we have not addressed your complaint within 8 weeks, you may be able to refer your complaint to The Property Ombudsman to consider without our final viewpoint on the matter).

What will happen next?

We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 3 working days of receiving it, enclosing a copy of this procedure.

We will investigate your complaint. This will be dealt with by the office manager who will review your file and speak to the staff member assigned to your file. A formal written outcome of our investigation will be sent to you within 15 working days of sending the acknowledgement letter.

If, at this stage, you are still not satisfied, you should contact us again and we will arrange for a separate review to take place by a senior member of staff.

We will write to you within 15 working days of receiving your request for a review, confirming our final viewpoint on the matter.

If you are still not satisfied after the last stage of the in-house complaint procedure (or more than 8 weeks has elapsed since the complaint was first made) you can request an independent review from The Property Ombudsman, without charge.
