Hi, I have enquired further and understand that the bedroom where you have been hearing the noise is next to the pump room for the block. The noise you are hearing is when other residents are using water, having baths, running washing machines, flushing the toilet etc. We have not had complaints from past tenants regarding the noise , I understand no former tenants worked shifts which may be a factor. The Landlord has agreed that if new tenants are found to replace you that they will release ...

  • We will give you a weekly update about your transaction

  • We will deal with any complaints fairly and speedily

Complaints



In order to ensure that these standards are maintained, we have introduced a complaints procedure, which provides for any grievances to be handled internally.



We commit to taking your grievance seriously. We will listen, investigate and confirm our findings to you in a speedy, impartial and honest way.

If you believe you have a grievance, please write in the first instance to the Manager of the branch concerned (contact us), outlining the details,

within three months of the incident. Your letter will be acknowledged within 3 working days, detailing steps that will be taken to investigate the matter.

Your complaint will be thoroughly investigated according to our in-house procedures, and a written reply will be sent to you within 14 days of

receipt of your initial letter. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of our initial investigation, we will offer you the further opportunity to have your grievance reviewed by the Managing Directors Office. If we fail to conclude our investigations within three months from when the complaint was first submitted in writing, it can be referred to the Ombudsman.





In the even that the final review as details above still fails to satisfy your complaint, then you are at liberty to have the matter referred to the Ombudsman for Estate Agents, to whom information will be provided by homes4u. You are also entitled to have your complaint referred to the Ombudsman should we fail to deal with matters expeditiously i.e. within 3 months from the date of written notification to ourselves.
