I'm very sorry that you have felt it necessary to write a comment on this website about your experience with our company, however, on reading your comments I can understand why.
The member of staff involved (Leon Mannion) confirmed to us on investigation following your complaint that at no point did he advise you that there would be adequate space for you to park two vehicles at anytime. He did however confirm to you that there was limited parking available outside the development and visitor parking within the Tesco complex next door.
After receiving this information from him this is the reason why the initial request to return your holding deposit was declined under stage one of our complaints procedure.
However, the decision to return your deposit was based on a further review by higher level management. During this review it was considered that the evidence between the parties was limited and therefore that the deposit should be returned.
I do appreciate that in this instance our initial decision was wrong, however, this is exactly the reason why we have a staged complaints procedure and an Ombudsman. This is there to protect you as the consumer and ensure that reviews of your complaint are undertaken by more than one person within our company.
There was an administration error within our accounts department concerning the refund of the funds to you and again I must sincerely apologise for this error.
Once again I am very sorry that you did receive a poor service and if you would like to discuss any of the above with me further, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Kind regards,
Andrew Strong
Managing Director
