Make a Complaint

Home > Make a Complaint 

We aim to deliver a good service to all our customers, but we do accept that at times things can go wrong. Our complaints handling procedure aims to deal effectively with customers’ concerns where they arise.  We use complaints to improve our service and report back in our newsletters and on our website on how our service has changed as a result of complaints. Senior staff review all complaints and the management committee will review trends and outcomes.

Reporting a Significant Performance Failure

The Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) can consider issues raised with them about ‘significant performance failures’.

A significant performance failure is defined by the SHR as something that a landlord does or fails to do that puts the interests of its tenants at risk, and which the landlord has not resolved. This is something that is a systematic problem that does or could, affects all of a landlord’s tenants. You can ask us for more information about significant performance failures.

The SHR has more information on their website or you can phone them on 0141 242 5642.
