CODA Estates Limited Complaints procedure:

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

If you have a complaint about our service, or about the service of a contractor or third party who we
have instructed to provide goods or services in relation to a property owned by or occupied by you, please write down the details of your complaint and send it to:

CODA Estates Limited
2-4 Heath Avenue

On receipt of your complaint we will adhere to the following procedure: -

Stage 1
We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint in writing within 5 working days of receiving it, giving
you a named contact who will be dealing with the complaint.

Stage 2
Your named contact will then investigate your complaint and will send you a detailed written reply,
including their suggestions for resolving the matter, within 10 working days of us receiving your
complaint.

There may occasionally be circumstances out-with our control which prevent us from adhering to
this time frame. These include: -

? when the office is closed for public holidays;
? where adverse weather or sickness has led to staff shortages;
? where we cannot respond in full without the input of a third party (e.g. contractor, landlord,
tenant) who is not available;
? where we cannot respond in full without visiting the rental property and the tenant is
restricting access;
? where we cannot respond in full without the input of a key member of staff who is not available.

We will contact you if we are unable to respond within this time frame and let you know when we aim to respond by.

Stage 3
Upon receipt of our response under Stage 2 above, if you are still not satisfied, you can contact us
again in writing and we will arrange for a senior manager to review the decision.

Stage 4
Our senior manager will write to you within 10 working days of us receiving your request for a review, confirming our final position on your complaint and explaining our reasons.


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

If you have a complaint, please put it in writing, including as much detail as possible.

What will happen next?
? We will send you a letter acknowledging receipt of you complaint within three working days
of receiving it, enclosing a copy of this procedure.

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.
