Complaints 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.

Our process is structured to ensure that any concerns are dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible. We would first ask that you raise any issues verbally with the relevant Bridges office, where appropriate we may ask to arrange to meet with you in person.

If you wish to make a written complaint, please follow this process:

  • Write to the Customer Service and Compliance Department setting out the details and particulars of your complaint:
    Jo Hodgson
    Bridges Estate Agents
    77 High Street
    Aldershot
    Hampshire GU11 1BY
  • Or email, for the attention of Jo Hodgson to customerservice@bridges.co.uk.
  • We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint in writing within 3 working days of receiving it and enclosing a copy of this procedure.
  • We will investigate your complaint, this will normally be dealt with by a Manager, Head of Department or a Director who will review your file and speak to the members of staff concerned. A formal written outcome of our investigation will be sent to you within 15 working days of sending the acknowledgement letter. (Please note: if you feel we have not sought to address your complaint within 8 weeks, you may be able to refer your complaint to The Property Ombudsman to consider without our final viewpoint on the matter.)
  • If, at this stage, you are still not satisfied, you should contact us again and we will arrange for a separate review to be undertaken by a different Manager, Head of Department or Director.
  • We will write to you within 15 working days of receiving your request for a review, confirming our final viewpoint on the matter.

If you remain dissatisfied, you can then contact The Property Ombudsman to request an independent review:
