Complaints Procedure
Heaton Property Limited is committed to providing a high-quality service to all our clients and customers. We are a member of The Property Ombudsman (TPOS). To ensure that your interests are protected, we have a complaints process in place. The aim of this process is to resolve any issues or concerns as quickly as possible.

If you feel comfortable discussing your complaint face to face with one of the team, please contact the office on (0191) 2400665 and we’ll ensure that we arrange a meeting to go through your concerns.
Formal Complaints
If you do not feel comfortable discussing your complaint verbally or wish to make a formal complaint please send your complaint to us, in writing, as soon as possible. Our address is:
Heaton Property Limited, 204a Heaton Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 5HP
Acknowledgement
We will always provide a written acknowledgement of your complaint. This will be within 3 working days of us receiving it.
Response
We will deal with your complaint confidentially and quickly. Your complaint will be dealt with by a senior team member who is not directly involved with the matter. We will provide a formal response within 15 working days.
Resolution
Our response will be in writing for you to consider. Should there be any reasons for you not accepting our response please let us know the reasons and the matter will be looked at again. Then within 15 working days from receipt of your letter, a director of Heaton Property will set out in writing any findings and recommendations as a final view on how they believe your complaint can be resolved.
