In the event that you are dissatisfied with the service we provide, you should first endeavour to resolve the matter by speaking directly to the person responsible for your work.
However, if you cannot resolve the matter in the first instance, we have implemented the following Complaints Handling Procedure so as to ensure your complaint is thoroughly investigated, properly resolved and that we can continually improve the service we offer you.
- A complaint can be logged either by phone, in writing or via email. If your complaint is directed to our Cardiff office, please send it to Nissa Patel, Finance Manager at Templeton LPA, 2 Castlebridge, Cowbridge Road East, Cardiff, CF11 9AB, who will investigate and try to resolve your complaint.
- Your complaint will be acknowledged within 2 working days of receipt and we endeavour to provide a full response within 20 days. If we are unable to provide a response within this time frame, a holding letter will be sent detailing the reasons why.
- Should your complaint remain unresolved your issues will then be referred to a senior director at Templeton LPA.
- Hopefully by this stage your issue will have been resolved to your satisfaction.
However, if you remain dissatisfied then you can contact the Property Ombudsman Service at Milford House, 43 – 55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2BP (for individuals) or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”) Dispute Resolution Service at 12 Great George Street, London, SW1P 3AD (for businesses).
- The decision reached by either of these bodies will be final. However, you may have scope to appeal to the RICS in some limited circumstances. These include if we fail to answer correspondence, fail to disclose a conflict of interest or misuse of client’s money. If you wish to complain to the RICS you can do so on their website at rics.org
