Complaints Resolution Procedure
We would really like to hear from you if we do something well, but likewise we realise that we do not always get things right and on occasions problems arise that you need to bring to our attention. When that happens, we want to hear from you - our aim is to listen and to resolve any issues quickly and informally, but when appropriate it will be escalated to a Senior Manager.
Before progressing into the formal complaints process, we will often seek to try and resolve matters ensuring necessary avenues via the relevant team have been exhausted. If however, you would like to proceed straight to the formal process we will provide a complaint resolution form for completion.
There are two stages to our formal resolution procedure.
Stage 1
If you wish to make a complaint then it will need to be in writing and either by letter or email, accompanied with any supporting information and addressed to our Complaints Resolution Team. We will initially request the completion of the complaint resolution form to ensure we succinctly understand the points or matters to be considered, and how you would like to see the matter resolved. Once obtained, they will direct it to an appropriate Senior Manager.

Stage 2: Final Stage
If you believe that you have not adequately resolved your complaint, you should write to our Complaints Resolution Team to request a review of the previous response and provide such further or additional evidence you may consider relevant. This review will be undertaken by a Senior Member of the Block Leadership Team. You may be asked to attend a meeting to discuss your complaint.

Ombudsman Service
If you are still not satisfied after the last stage of the in-house complaints’ procedure (or more than 8 weeks has lapsed since the complaint was first made) you may request that The Property Ombudsman carry out an independent review.
Please note the Ombudsman is free of charge. For further details of The Property Ombudsman’s rules please see: www.tpos.co.uk.
You will need to submit your complaint to The Property Ombudsman within 12 months of receiving our Stage 2 response and include any evidence to support your case.
