If you're still not satisfied

For complaints about how we handle your personal data, you can contact the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Complaints about an agent

We can't resolve complaints about a letting agent's own service, because your contract is with them. We'll point you to the agent's complaints process and its redress scheme. Every letting agent in England must belong to one. We'll also take your complaint into account when we review that agent's profile.

Records

We keep a record of every complaint and how we handled it for 6 years, and use them to improve the service.
