We are committed to providing a professional service to all our clients and customers. When something goes wrong, we would ask that you tell us about it, so wherever possible we can remedy the situation.
If you have a complaint, please put it in writing, including as much detail as possible, addressed to either the Sales or Lettings Manager. We have eight weeks to consider your complaint. If we have not resolved it within this time you may refer your complaint to The Property Ombudsman.
What will happen next?
• We will send you a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint within three working days of receiving it, enclosing a copy of this procedure.
• We will then investigate your complaint. This will normally be dealt with by the relevant Manager who will review your file and speak to the member of staff who dealt with you. A formal written outcome of our investigation will be sent to you within 15 working days of sending the acknowledgement letter, unless an extension is required, which you will be notified of.
• 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 or Director.
• 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 remain dissatisfied, you may then contact The Property Ombudsman to request an independent review:

We share your frustrations and would also far prefer to have more freedom when it comes to the contractors we are allowed to use for this landlord. Unfortunately they have a contract with a supplier who they are obliged to use as their go to contactor and so we are in turn bound to that contract and may not use anyone else. This unfortunately means that our hands are tied when it comes to resolving issues with this particular clients tenancies. At the same time, we have been instructed not to release contact details for this client and so we are very sorry that we were not able to give out those details.
As we are the representatives of the client we completely understand your taking out your frustrations with us. We will be sure to pass on your feedback to the client to try to push for further reforms in the way we are able to work with their tenants.
