Response

We will deal with your complaint confidentially and quickly.  In all cases your complaint will not be considered or investigated by anyone directly involved.  We will attempt to provide a formal response within 15 working days.  If this is not possible for any reason we will advise of the reasons and agree a deadline with you for our response.

Our response will be in writing for you to consider.  Should there be good reasons for you not accepting our response please let us know the reasons and the matter will be looked at again.  We will then provide you with a final response within 15 working days.

TPO

Should you remain unsatisfied with our final response, or more than 8 weeks has elapsed since the complaint was first made, you can request that The Property Ombudsman provide an independent review of the complaint without charge.

There are restrictions on the type of complaint the Ombudsman can consider and the time in which you can refer your complaint.  These are all outlined within TPO leaflets available at any of our branches, or from www.tpos.co.uk.
