Walker Sandford believes that complaints are an opportunity to demonstrate the quality of their services

Glasgow, Scotland (PRWEB) August 23, 2012

Customer service is key in any Property Factoring business. Whether the customer is the property owner or a tenant, when complaints are made against a property management company by those who patronize it, there must be a procedure in place.

Walker Sandford believes that complaints are an opportunity to demonstrate the quality of their services and determine to ensure that the problem does not become a continuing issue.

"We all know that misunderstandings and mistakes happen in every business. How we deal with customer complaints is very important, after all, we want our clients to feel that we have listened to their issues and that we are doing all we can to resolve the problem effectively" says property manager Paul McGonnegal

Walker Sanford believe that complaints are an opportunity to demonstrate the quality of their services and the company determine to ensure that a problem does not become a complaint or a continuing issue.

All our office staff will deal with the normal day to day problems on a one to one basis" continues Paul, " but once a formal complaint as such has been raised, for example, 'I am not satisfied with the standard of your work carried out; conduct of a contractor or staff behaviour’, and a client wishes to make a formal complaint, then at that stage clients are requested to put the complaint in writing", he states.

What clients are asked to do first?

Unhappy clients should first make a formal written complaint to Walker Sandford to start their internal complaints procedure.

If at the end of this procedure, the client is still not satisfied, they can contact The Property Ombudsman giving details of the complaint. The client must do this within six months of the firm completing their internal complaints procedure.
