Here is how we handle complaints

‍

1. First, we will send you a written acknowledgment of the receipt of your complaint within three working days of receiving it. We understand that it can be frustrating not knowing if your complaint has been received, so we want to assure you that we have received it and will work to address it as soon as possible. In this letter, we will also include a copy of our procedure for handling complaints, so you know what to expect throughout the process.
   ‍
2. Next, we will investigate your complaint. This will usually be handled by our office manager, who will review your file and speak to the member of staff who dealt with you. Our goal is to fully understand the issue and to find a solution that satisfies all parties. We will keep you updated throughout the investigation process and ensure that you have a formal written outcome within 15 working days of the original complaint.
   ‍
3. If you are still not satisfied with our response, please contact us again, and we will arrange for a separate review to take place by a senior member of staff. We believe that everyone deserves to be heard and understood, and we want to ensure that your concerns have been fully addressed.
   ‍
4. We will write to you within 15 working days of receiving your request for a review, confirming our final viewpoint on the matter. We understand that waiting for a resolution can be stressful, so we will work as quickly as possible to ensure that you receive a clear and concise response.
   ‍
5. If you are still not satisfied with our final viewpoint, or if more than 8 weeks have elapsed since the complaint was first made, you can request an independent review from The Property Ombudsman without charge. You have up to 12 months from our final response to refer your complaint to The Property Ombudsman. We believe that this is a fair and transparent process that will allow for an unbiased review of your complaint.
