Complaints Procedure

If you have a complaint, then please let us know by contacting our Customer Care team based at Head Office in Westley.

They can be contacted in writing at customercare@denburyhomes.co.uk, using the contact form below, or via telephone on 01284 653110.

If a complaint is made it will be dealt with by a member of the Customer Care team who will follow a standard procedure as outlined below.

During office hours (8.30am – 5.30pm Monday – Thursday and 8.30am- 4.30pm Friday) a member of our team will confirm receipt of your complaint with a view to responding within 5 working days.

What we will do

1. Acknowledge receipt of your complaint
2. Gather any further information regarding the complaint
3. Resolve the complaint as soon as possible

We have a robust process to ensure that your complaint is properly investigated and followed up: 

• Please raise your complaint with our customer care team at customercare@denburyhomes.co.uk 
  
• We will acknowledge all complaints within 5 calendar days of the complaint initiation date*. 
  
• We will investigate your concerns and send a response which details our proposed pathway to resolution within 10 calendar days of the complaint initiation date*.  This should explain how we plan to resolve the issue, along with the steps and anticipated timescales. 
  
• We will send a full complaint assessment response by no later than 30 calendar days.  If the complaint has been resolved, this will confirm what steps were taken.  In the event that the resolution is still underway, the response will detail what has caused the delay, and the anticipated date for resolution. 
  
• Once the complaint has been resolved, we will send a closure response which confirms what action has been taken. 
  
• In the very unlikely event that the complaint remains unresolved after 56 calendar days of the complaint initiation date*, we will send a further response to provide information on what has caused the delay, what are the next steps and the anticipated date for resolution.  We will also keep you updated no less than every 30 days until the matter is resolved. 
  
• We hope we can resolve most matters without the need for further escalation.  However, if your complaint is not resolved in accordance with this procedure, or you remain dissatisfied with the outcome, then you may be able to refer your complaint to any dispute resolution service offered by your warranty provider, or the New Homes Ombudsman Service.  
  
• It is within the New Homes Ombudsman Service’ discretion to decide when or if to accept a complaint, in accordance with the scheme rules. The New Homes Ombudsman Service can accept complaints that have arisen within two years of legal completion. After this, disputes within the structural warranty period may be referred to the New Home Warranty Provider if relevant.  

*The complaints initiation date (CID) is the first working day after a complaint is received. Thus, if a complaint is received on a Monday, the CID is the following Tuesday.  If a complaint is received on a Saturday, the CID will the following Monday (excluding public holidays). 

Please note that this complaints procedure does not cover everyday matters such as reporting or chasing repairs, accounts queries or other residents and parking matters.
