Complaints Procedure
Lauristons are a member of The Property Ombudsman Scheme (TPOS) and we aim to provide the highest standards of service to all our customers. To ensure that your interests are safeguarded we have the following complaints process in place.
The aim of this process is to resolve all customer issues or concerns as quickly as possible. In the majority of cases we find that most issues can be resolved quickly and amicably to customers' satisfaction at branch level.
Stage One – Branch Manager
Where your complaint is initially made orally, you will be requested to send a written summary of your complaint to the Branch Manager of the estate agency branch you have been dealing with. We will send you a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint within three working days of receiving it, and they will endeavour to liaise with you quickly and resolve your complaint promptly. A formal written outcome of our investigation will be sent to you no later than 15 working days of receipt of the complaint.
