Complaints Procedure

Stage One

In the first instance, any issue should be brought to the attention of the individual concerned, allowing them the opportunity to rectify matters. If the issue remains unresolved after this, please refer to Stage Two.

Stage Two

Haslams is committed to delivering the highest standards of customer service, however should matters not have been resolved at Stage One you are invited to make a formal complaint by sending a written summary of the issue(s) by email to our customer service department customerservices@haslams.net

We will acknowledge your complaint within three working days, and the relevant senior team member or Head of Department will then investigate and respond to you within 15 working days from the original Stage Two complaint being made.

In the event of a tenancy deposit dispute, you will need to raise this with TDS for independent adjudication: https://www.tenancydepositscheme.com/request-repayment-raise-dispute/

If you still feel that your complaint has not been resolved by the senior team member or should they have been directly involved in the matter pertaining to your complaint, you are invited to make a formal complaint by email or letter to:

Hannah Jackson hannah.jackson@haslams.net
