Complaints Handling Procedure

We are committed to providing a professional service to all our clients.  When something goes wrong, we need you to tell us about it.  This will help us to maintain and improve our standards.

If you have a complaint, please put it in a written letter addressed to Paul Butler (“the Director”) Ullyotts, 64 Middle Street South, Driffield, East Yorkshire YO25 6QG including as much detail as possible.  We will then endeavour to respond in line with the time frames set out below.  If you feel we have not tried to address your complaint within eight weeks, you may be able to refer your complaint to the Property Ombudsman to consider without our final viewpoint on the matter.

What will happen next?

  • We will endeavour to send you a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint within three working days of receiving it, enclosing a copy of this procedure.
  • We will then investigate your complaint. This will normally be dealt with by the Director who will review your complaint and speak to the member or members of staff who dealt with you.  A formal written outcome of our investigation will be sent to you within 15 working days of sending the acknowledgement letter.
  • If, at this stage, you are still not satisfied, you should contact us again and we will arrange for a separate review to take place by a senior member of staff.
  • We will write to you within 15 working days of receiving your request for a review, confirming our final viewpoint on the matter unless you introduce new material or vary your complaint during this process, in which case that will again start the 15 working day period.
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 or additional material added or the complaint varied you can request an independent review from The Property Ombudsman without charge: The Property Ombudsman, Milford House, 43-55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2BP, 01722 333 306, admin@tpos.co.uk, www.tpos.co.uk  

Please note the following:

“We” are Ullyotts (Driffield) Limited and Ullyotts (Bridlington) Ltd trading as Ullyotts.

You will need to submit your complaint to The Property Ombudsman within 12 months of receiving our final viewpoint letter, including any evidence to support your case.

The Property Ombudsman requires that all complaints are addressed through this in-house complaint’s procedure, before being submitted for an independent review.
