This will help us to improve our service going forward and resolve issues as soon as possible. If you have a complaint, please put this in writing (letter or email) to us. We will then acknowledge and respond in line with the timescales and stages set out below.
Stage 1 – Your complaint
Please put your complaint in writing either by letter or email and address it to James Murray, Partner. Please include as much detail as possible, including dates, names of any members of staff you dealt with and where you are able to, enclosing/attaching any supporting evidence.

Stage 2—Our Acknowledgement – within 3 working days of receiving your complaint
Your complaint will be acknowledged and we will start our in- house complaints process
Stage 3—Our Investigation – within 15 working days of receiving your complaint
Your complaint will be investigated and we will provide a formal written response addressing your specific complaints and proposing resolutions where appropriate.
Stage 4—Final Viewpoint – within 15 working days of us receiving your request for a further review
If you remain dissatisfied, you should contact us again and we will conduct a separate review by Richard Murray, the Senior Partner. We will then write to you with our findings. This will outline our final viewpoint on the matter and your letter will state that it is a Final Viewpoint Letter.
Stage 5—The Property Ombudsman
If our Final Viewpoint Letter does not resolve matters (or more than 8 weeks has elapsed since the complaint was first made) you can request an independent review from The Property Ombudsman without charge.
