Homes for Life Housing Partnership is committed to providing high-quality customer services.
We value complaints and use information from them to help us improve our services. If something goes wrong or you are dissatisfied with our services, please tell us. It's also nice to receive compliments as it helps our staff feel valued and highlights what is important to you.
It is easier for us to address complaints if you make them quickly and directly to the service concerned. So please talk to a member of our team so they can try to resolve the issue.
You can make a complaint or give a compliment:
- by calling - 01620 829 300
- by emailing - info@homesforlife.co.uk
- using our Tenant Portal
- using the comments form below
- in person at our office
- by writing to us
When complaining, please tell us:
- your full name and contact details
- as much as you can about the complaint
- what has gone wrong; and
- what outcome you are seeking.
You can make your complaint by phone, by email, online, in writing, or in person.
We have a two-stage complaints procedure. We will always try to deal with your
complaint quickly. But if it is clear that the matter will need investigation, we will tell
you and keep you updated on our progress.
We will always try to resolve your complaint quickly, within five working days if we can.
If you are dissatisfied with our response, you can ask us to consider your complaint at
stage 2.
We will look at your complaint at this stage if you are dissatisfied with our response at
stage 1. We also look at some complaints immediately at this stage, if it is clear that
they need investigation.
We will acknowledge your complaint within three working days.
We will confirm the points of complaint to be investigated and what you want to
achieve.
We will investigate the complaint and give you our decision as soon as possible. This
will be after no more than 20 working days unlessthere is clearly a good reason for
needing more time.
If, after receiving our final decision on your complaint, you remain dissatisfied with our
decision or the way we have handled your complaint, you can ask the SPSO to
consider it.

Where you feel there may be a significant performance failure you can contact the
Scottish Housing Regulator. This web page on the Scottish Housing Regulator’s
website explains what this type of complaint is and when you can contact the Regulator.

There are some complaints about housing that have an alternative route for
independent review. We will tell you how to seek independent review when we give
you our final response on your complaint.
