Complaints Procedure

 

Complaints Procedure

 

We try and continue to improve our services and one of the ways we do this is by listening, dealing and responding to our clients and  are committed to dealing effectively with any complaints you have about our service. If we have made a mistake we will apologise and try to put things right.


In the event of a complaint, we always look to deal with any views and issues in branch on the first occasion.

If to lodge a formal complaint, please see below the procedure we at Perfect Pads will follow with the complaint, as we are required by the Property Ombudsman.

Should you have a complaint please address this orally with the applicable staff member.

If your complaint to the applicable member of staff is not resolved, then your complaint will be passed to the branch manager.

If this is not resolved orally to the manager, please make the complaint in written form.

The complaint will be dealt within 15 working  days of receipt, which an outcome of the complaint will be dealt with a final reply.

In some circumstances, an extension may be needed if staff are unavailable.

Should you remain not satisfied with the final outcome you will have the opportunity to refer the complaint to the Property Ombudsman, the redress scheme.

Outcome –

 

Following our investigation, we will let you know what we have found and we will use your preferred form of communication, such as letter or e-mail, when we contact you. We will explain how and why we came to our conclusions. If we find that we have done something wrong, we will tell you this, explain what happened and apologise. If we find there is a fault in our systems or the way we do things, we will tell you what it is and how we plan to change things to stop it happening again.

 

Putting things right –

 

If there is a simple solution to your problem, we may ask you to accept this solution. For example, where you asked for a service and we see straight away that you should have had it; we will offer to provide the service rather than continue to investigate Staff training We will make sure that our staff are trained to handle complaints effectively and receive appropriate training in the use of the Complaints Policy.

 

 

The Redress Scheme -

 

We are a member of the Property Ombudsman. You can contact the Redress Scheme at any time. However, they are unable to deal with a complaint until our complaints process has been completed and we have had a chance to put things right.
