Complaints Procedure
Charles Eden is a Member of The Property Ombudsman and aim to provide the highest standards of care to all of our customers. Naturally we hope that our service is such that you would not have cause for complaint but in the unlikely event that you do herewith is our complaints procedure. All correspondence should be addressed to the relevant party at our Beckenham Office.
- Initially the Managing Director Alexander Lee should be contacted to discuss the complaint in order to see whether there has been a misunderstanding or whether a matter can be readily resolved without the need for more formal measures. Such a discussion can take place in an informal way over the phone. 020 8663Â 1964
- In the event that you are not satisfied with the outcome of any informal discussions then a complaint should be put in writing to the Managing Director, Alexander Lee ( alex@charleseden.co.uk ) outlining the reason for dissatisfaction. This complaint would be acknowledged within 7 working day as a general rule. A formal reply would follow within 15 working days.
- Finally in the event that our in-house procedures have still not satisfactorily addressed your complaint then we are Members of The Property Ombudsman and you can submit your complaint to them whereupon we would pass any information to them for independent review. Our in-house complaints procedure must have been followed before the Ombudsman would consider a complaint. The legal rights of both parties are not affected and the process should be considered as complementary to any legislation covering the practice or business.
