Stage One – Branch Manager
Where your complaint is initially made orally, you will be requested to send a written summary of your complaint to the Branch Manager of the estate agency branch you have been dealing with. We will send you a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint within three working days of receiving it, enclosing a copy of this procedure. Only written complaints will be dealt with under this procedure and they will endeavour to liaise with you quickly and resolve your complaint promptly. A formal written outcome of our investigation will be sent to you no later than 15 working days of sending the acknowledgement letter.
Stage Two – Senior Management
Should the local Branch Manager not be able to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you can refer the matter to the Managing Director, Lettings Director or the Head of Accounts and Property Management as applicable, who will respond within 15 working days of receiving your request for a review. They will confirm our final viewpoint on the matter.
The address to write to is:
