Complaints process
We try hard to provide all our clients with an efficient, courteous and professional service. If at any time during the course of the transaction, you become dissatisfied with the service you are receiving, please contact us in the first instance.
If you are not satisfied with our handling of your complaint, then you can ask the Legal Ombudsman to consider the complaint. Normally you will need to make your complaint within 6 months of receiving a final written response from us about your complaint.
You can find out more information about the Legal Ombudsman and filing a complaint with them at the following website: http://www.legalombudsman.org.uk/helping-the-public/
Upon receipt of your complaint in writing within 7 working days we will write to acknowledge receipt of the same. You will receive a full written response with 28 working days. Unless it is agreed there are good reasons not to do so, the Legal Ombudsman will expect you to allow us to consider and respond to your complaint in accordance with the procedure set out above, before they will consider it.
Disputes may also be referred to an Alternative Dispute Resolution entity which has been certified under the EU Consumer ADR Directive; namely the Ombudsman services ProMediate and small claims mediation.
