A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction, however made, about an action or lack of action, or the standard of a service by the company or its staff affecting an individual customer or group of customers.
If you are reporting a nuisance around noise, dog fouling, parking or an issue with a neighbour, please do so via our ASB reporting page, where this will be dealt with.
We know we don’t always get it right, if you talk to us about the issues you have, we will try to resolve it there and then for you.
If we are unable to offer a resolution or you are still unhappy you can raise a complaint. This can be done over the phone, by email, letter or our online form ‘Make Things Right’
Our Resolutions Manager will contact you within 5 working days to acknowledge your complaint, an action plan and timescale will be agreed. We will investigate your complaint and aim to offer a resolution within 10 working days of its acknowledgement. Should we need longer we would agree this with you at the acknowledgement stage. If you are happy with the resolution, we will close the complaint. However, if you are dissatisfied with the way the complaint has been investigated then you can ask for it to be escalated to the review stage.
When our Resolutions manager is acknowledging your complaint they will also agree with you your preferred method of communication and frequency. We offer communication via email, letter, phone, text, home visit and via Zoom or a mixture we are happy to be directed by you.
A Manager will be appointed to look at the way the complaint has been dealt with; they will contact you within 5 working days of the complaint being escalated. They will check that we have followed our policies and procedures to resolve the complaint and with your permission they will consult with an involved tenant to make sure the investigation has considered the impact of the complaint from a tenant’s point of view. The manager will let you know the outcome of their review within 15 working days of their contact with you.
