Complaints Handling Procedure
Landlord Action Ltd
Our complaints policy
We are committed to providing a high-quality legal service to all our clients. If at any point you become unhappy or concerned about our service, you should inform us immediately, so we can do our best to resolve the problem, and this will help us to improve our standards. In the first instance we would ask you to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues at this stage.
However, if your concerns are still not resolved and you would like to make a formal complaint, please contact our Complaints Handling Officer – Mr Paul Sowerbutts, Head of Legal at Landlord Action (or if required, a Director at Landlord Action) in writing, setting out a summary of your concerns. Details below:

What will happen next?
1. We will aim to send you a letter or email acknowledging receipt of your written formal complaint within 2 working days of receiving it (allowing for weekends and bank holidays), explaining who is dealing with the complaint and upon request, enclose a copy of this procedure, which can also be found on our website at landlordaction.co.uk
2. We will record your complaint on our register and open a complaint file.
3. We will investigate your complaint based on the concerns you have raised. This normally involves passing your complaint to our designated complaints handling officer, who will conduct a full review of your file and if necessary, talk to the person who acted for you. We may also require further information from you. Should we need to speak to you, we will contact you to arrange a convenient date and time and will provide you with a time scale on how long this may take.
4. Following a full investigation, we will contact you with the results of our findings within an agreed time scale setting out our decision and where appropriate, any resolutions.
5. If we are unable to resolve your complaint within 8 weeks of receiving full details, or you are still not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, you can then contact the Legal Ombudsman about your complaint via post, email or call at:
