Complaints Procedure

Horizon Property Agents have a standard procedure for handling complaints which is as follows:1. Making a complaint

Each Horizon Sales & Lettings office is operated by individual branch managers who report to a team of Directors. In the first instance your complaint should be directed in writing to the local Branch Manager. Your complaint will be acknowledged within 3 working days. The branch will conduct a full and thorough investigation and a full written response will be sent within 15 working days.

2. If you remain dissatisfied

If you feel the matter remains unresolved you should write to the Horizon Sales & Lettings Directors explaining why you are unhappy with the response. The Director will conduct a comprehensive review of your complaint and will give a final viewpoint in writing within 10 working days.

3. Independent redress

In the unlikely event that you are still dissatisfied then you may refer the matter to the Property Ombudsman at the following address:

The Property Ombudsman

Milford House

43-55 Milford Street

Salisbury

Wiltshire

SP1 2BP

Tel No.: 01722 333 306

Email: admin@tpos.co.uk

Website: www.tpos.co.uk

Please be aware that you have up to 12 months from the date of the final viewpoint letter to refer your complaint to the Ombudsman in writing.

4. What next?

You will receive written confirmation from the Property Ombudsman that your complaint form has been received. They will write to the branch, enclosing a copy of your complaints form, and request their file and a statement describing their version of events.

The complaint will be reviewed by the Property Ombudsman’s office together with the response from the branch and a recommendation will be made to the Ombudsman who will then make a final decision which is binding upon the branch in question.

If you are still not satisfied after the last stage of the in-house complaint procedure (or more than 8 weeks has elapsed since the complaint was first made) you can request an independent review from The Property Ombudsman without charge.
