We are committed to providing all of our landlords and tenants with the highest standards of customer service. However, there may be occasions when our service falls short of your expectations. To ensure your maximum protection, our complaints procedure has been designed to meet the requirements of all the regulatory authorities that control our business.
In order to try and resolve disputes quickly and amicably we have a Company complaints procedure that is explained below:
1) In the first instance, please submit your complaint in writing to the following email address: complaints@cgtlettings.com explaining your grievance. We will be in contact within 3 working days to acknowledge your complaint and advise of the contact details of the department Manager that will be investigating your concerns.
2)We will then investigate your complaint. This will normally be dealt with by the department manager who will review your file and speak to the member of staff who dealt with you, they will also review emails and time stamped property management notes. A formal written outcome of our investigation will be sent to you within 15 working days of sending the acknowledgment letter.
3) In the unlikely event that you are not satisfied with this initial response that you receive then please let us know and your complaint will be further investigated via a Second line investigation by our Senior Managers or the Managing Director of CGT Lettings, please ensure this request is made in writing. If you wish to submit your complaint via post, the postal address for the head office of CGT Lettings is 119 Promenade, Cheltenham, Glos, GL50 1NW.
4) 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. Contact them at: Property Ombudsman at Milford House, 43 -55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP1 2BP.
