Leaseholders' Complaints Procedure

At Peverel, we aim to give good service to Leaseholders in a polite, fair and efficient way.  However, we recognise that things can occasionally go wrong.  When this happens we want you to tell us so that we can improve our future performance.  We are always receptive to new ideas.

 

Here is what you should do if you have a complaint:

  • Stage 1
    We encourage all Leaseholders to speak in the first instance to their House Manager as we know most complaints can be dealt with on a “face to face” basis.  The House Manager may need to speak to his / her Estates Manager before an answer can be given.  If the problem can wait, it may be sensible for the House Manager to arrange for the Estate Manager to call in and see you on his / her next visit.  Alternatively, the Estates Manager may write to you.

  • Stage 2
    If you are still not satisfied your complaint has been dealt with properly, you should write to the Regional Manager via the Halesowen Administration Centre.

  • Stage 3
    The Customer Services Manager (CSM) is the final person at 12 Centre Court, Vine Lane, Halesowen, West Midlands B63 3EB you should write to if you feel you have not received a reasonable answer to your complaint under stages One and Two. The CSM investigates complaints on behalf of the Managing Director and has access to the PMSL Board for information and answers.


Timescale

It is our aim to respond to most complaints within seven working days of receipt of your letter. However, where complaints are complex or involve detailed research, it may take longer to deal with the matter. In such cases, we will acknowledge your complaint and give you a timescale for response, which will be no greater than 28 working days.

General

If the matter involves another department of Peverel, then we may refer you to another person. We will tell you who and give you a timescale for response.

Should you write direct to the Regional Manager without first having exhausted earlier steps in the Complaints Procedure, then your letter will be referred back to the appropriate person for action. In most cases, Peverel will respond to your complaint in writing, but in certain circumstances, we may arrange a personal visit by prior appointment with you. Under our Code of Practice, you are entitled to ask for a face to face meeting with a senior manager within Peverel. The Regional Manager will fulfil this role.

Building Defects

Please note that defects which are the responsibility of the builder, and not Peverel as a management company or freeholder, cannot be resolved through this complaints procedure.

Other Options

You may write or speak to the Advice Information and Mediation Service, an independent organisation or the Association of Retirement Housing Managers at any time. Please ask your House Manager or the Halesowen Administration Centre for further information.

Note: If you are a tenant renting accommodation, then you must first refer your complaint to your own landlord.
