COMPLAINTS POLICY
OVERVIEW
Garrington Asset Management Ltd aims to provide the highest standards of service to all our clients.
To ensure that these standards are being maintained, the company has a formal complaints procedure in place in the event that you do not feel that an acceptable standard was adhered to.
We would ask that our clients immediately notify us of their complaints so that we have the opportunity to put matters right.
We aim to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible. Our internal procedure provides a structure for the matter to be dealt with directly by a member of our Management Team and/or Directors.
HOW AND WHERE TO COMPLAIN
If you are unsatisfied with any aspect of our service, in the first instant please contact your Portfolio Manager directly, by letter or email.
If your complaint relates to your Portfolio Manager, please contact the Operations Manager. Their details are available on request by calling Garrington’s Head Office on
020 7099 2773 or by emailing complaints@garringtonam.co.uk
Alternatively, please write to:
Operations Manager

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
Your complaint will be acknowledged within 3 working days from the date we receive notification of your complaint. Your compliant will then be investigated thoroughly in accordance with established in-house procedures. A formal reply will be sent to you within 15 working days of receipt of your complaint.
You should register a complaint as soon as you can after the date on which the event occurred. If you complain more than twelve months later, we may not be able to investigate properly. Consideration will, however, be given as to whether you had good reason for not making the complaint sooner and whether, despite the delay, it is still possible to investigate the complaint effectively and fairly.
FURTHER INVESTIGATION
In exceptional circumstances, if you are not satisfied with the outcome of our initial investigation, you are provided with a further opportunity to have the complaint reviewed by our Managing Director at the address given below:
Managing Director

IF YOU REMAIN UNSATISFIED
In the event that the final review and response to your complaint still fails to satisfy you, then you are at liberty to refer the matter to The Property Ombudsman within 12 months from the date of our final viewpoint letter. We will submit our file to The Property Ombudsman on request.
You are also entitled to have your complaint referred to The Property Ombudsman should we fail to deal with matters promptly or do not comply with our in-house complaints procedure within 8 weeks from the date we receive your written notification.
