Complaints Procedure

Customer Complaints Procedure
 

We value the opinions of our customers and clients and are committed to providing a professional service at all times. If something does not go as well as expected, we want to hear about it. In line with The Property Ombudsman’s Code of Practice our complaint handling procedure is outlined below:  

Stage One – Team Manager

In the first instance you should write to the relevant Manager, giving full details of your complaint. Once your complaint has been received, we will acknowledge receipt within 3 working days. An investigation will then be undertaken, and you will receive a response to your complaint within 10 working days.   

If at any point you are unsure of the contact details with whom to reach, please always feel free to email info@liferesidential.co.uk. This will then be brought to the attention of the relevant person to address your concerns.

Stage Two – Head of Department
 

If you are not satisfied with the response given by the Manager, you may refer it to the Head of Department or relevant Area Manager. 

We request that you send a written summary of your complaint to this individual within 30 days of the complaint being raised. The Manager you have been dealing with will be happy to provide the necessary contact details. 

Upon receipt of your complaint, you will receive a full response within 10 working days. 

Stage Three – Head of Property 

If you are still dissatisfied with any aspect of our handling of your complaint, then please write to the Head of Property at the following address:  

FAO: Jay Letham
LiFE Residential
11 Portal Way
Acton
London
W3 6RT

The Head of Property will acknowledge your complaint within 3 working days of receipt and will investigate the issues raised. He will undertake a final review of your complaint, including how it’s been handled to date, which may include further investigations into the background of your concerns. 

The Head of Property will put his recommendations in writing within 10 working days from receipt of your letter.

LiFE Residential is a member of The Property Ombudsman (TPO) scheme. Should you remain dissatisfied with the outcome of your complaint having received a Final Viewpoint letter from the Head of Property, you may approach the TPO. Details of their complaints procedure and form can be found on their website www.tpos.co.uk along with their Code of Practice and Terms of Reference. Alternatively, you can call them on 01722 333 306 or write to them at the following address:
