Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

We take complaints extremely seriously and if you feel the need to complain please email Our Operations Director, Leighton McMylor on leighton.mcmylor@oconnorbowden.co.uk and who will forward you a copy of our complaints form.
