Complaints Procedure
We’re committed to providing a professional service to all our Clients and Customers. When something goes wrong, we want you to tell us about it. This way we can not only try to rectify the situation, but it will also help us to improve our service.
If you have a complaint, please put it in writing, including as much detail as possible. We will then respond in line with the timeframes set out below (if you feel we have not sought to address your complaints within eight weeks, you may be able to refer your complaint to the Property Ombudsman to consider without our final viewpoint on the matter).
PLEASE SEND YOUR COMPLAINT BY EMAIL TO THE BELOW COMPANY DIRECTOR:
