Our complaints and dispute resolution procedures are designed to provide a simple and personalised process for resolving any issue you may have about the service you have received.
Tell the manager what your complaint is and what you would like done about it.
Should the manager ask you to put your complaint in writing please allow 10 working days for us to respond. The manager may need to talk to team members involved with the issue and then provide you with a response.
As part of the response in Step 2, we may ask you to meet with members of our team to discuss the issue agree a resolution. If we are unable to come to an agreed resolution after a meeting, or if you do not wish to meet with us, then we will provide you with a written proposal to resolve your complaint.
Please advise us in writing within five working days if you do not accept our proposal and if not, suggest another way of resolving your complaint.
If we accept your preferred resolution we will attempt to implement that resolution as soon as possible. If we decline your preferred resolution we may invite you to mediate the dispute.
If we agree to mediate the complaint but do not settle the complaint at mediation, or we do not agree to mediate the dispute then that will be the end of our process.
Please note:
You can still make a complaint to the Real Estate Agents Authority in the first instance, and even if you use these procedures you can still make a complaint to the Real Estate Agents Authority at any time.
