Complaints Procedure

FREEDOM TO MOVE

Our aim is to provide a first-class service and to do everything we can to ensure you are satisfied. If you feel that we have fallen short of this standard and you would like to raise your concerns, we ask that you inform us in writing to allow us to investigate further.

I would also like to take the opportunity to apologise on behalf of the company and hope we are able to restore your faith in us.

Our details are as follows:

Hawks Head Office

And/or by email at: complaints@hawksproperty.com

In order to resolve your complaint, we would ask that you include the following information and evidence, if applicable:

  •  An outline of your complaint explaining why you feel that we have fallen short of our first class service
  • What you would like us to do to resolve it

Any specific details that you feel would assist us with resolving your complaint. Including, but not limited to:

  • Names of Advisors you have spoken to in connection with the complaint
  • The Branch Name in connection with the complaint
  • Time(s) and Date(s) of the incident(s)
  • Telephone numbers and/or Addresses you have used to contact us
  • Any written correspondence in connection with your complaint
  • Any other document in support of your complaint

On receipt of a complaint, we will investigate the issue(s) you have raised on your complaint fully and respond to you accordingly. The timescales for dealing with a complaint are as follows:

  • You will receive an ‘acknowledgement of receipt’ of your complaint from us within 3 working days of receipt of your complaint.
  • Within 10 working days of the acknowledgement, you will receive a full response.
  •  If we are unable to resolve the matter within the 10 working days as stated above, we will provide you with reasons why we could not meet this time frame and provide you with an estimate of when a full response will be received
  • After our final written response, we may deem the complaint closed. If we deem the matter closed then we reserve the right not to enter into any further correspondence.
