Complaints Procedure

We are committed to providing a professional service to all our clients and customers. When something goes wrong, we need you to tell us about it.  This will help us to improve our standards. 

If you have a complaint, please put it in writing, including as much detail as possible to the manager/partner of the office with which you are dealing with.  

1.    Once we have received your written summary of the complaint, we will acknowledge receipt within three working days enclosing a copy of this procedure. 

2.    We will then investigate your complaint. This will normally be dealt with by the office manager/partner who will review your file and speak to the member of staff who dealt with you. A formal written outcome of our investigation will be sent to you within 15 working days of sending the acknowledgement.

3.    If you feel at this stage that your complaint has not been satisfactorily answered you may refer your case to our designated complaints handler:
