The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors requires that there is a written complaints procedure
which is set out below.
At Chesterton Humberts, we endeavour to provide the highest levels of service. We do however
recognise that on occasions things do not go according to plan and in such instances we operate an
in house complaints procedure so that our clients may inform us of any issues they have experienced.
1. Please contact in writing with a summary of your complaint:
Complaints Handling Officer
Chesterton Humberts
3rd floor Connaught House
1-3 Mount Street
London
W1K 3NB
2. We will acknowledge receipt of your written complaint within 3 working days, and advise you
who will be investigating your complaint.
3. Within a further 21 days the above person will write to you to inform you of the outcome of the
investigation into your complaint and to let you know what (if any) actions have been or will be
taken. If a longer period is required to consider your complaint you will be notified in writing
with a revised timescale.
4. If the complaint has not been resolved to your satisfaction, we agree to the referral of you
complaint to
The Property Ombudsman
Milford House
43-55 Milford Street
Salisbury
WILTS, SP1 2BP
Please note that this must be done within six months of Chesterton Humberts final viewpoint
letter.
5. For business clients we will agree a referral of the complaint by mediation with you in
accordance with the Neutral Evaluation Procedure for Surveying Disputes (IDRS). If mediation
should fail then the case will be referred for formal Arbitration and the Arbitrator’s fees will be payable as directed by the Arbitrator at his/her discretion.
