Complaints Information

Sometimes we can get things wrong. When that happens, we want to put things right.
If you’re not happy with our service please let us know so we can take the necessary action.
There are a number ways for you or an individual you choose to act on your behalf to register your concerns or complaints with us:

  1. Email:  complaints@eastendhomes.net
  2. Telephone: 0207 517 4700
  3. In writing: addressing your letter to: Customer Resolution Officer 3 Resolution Plaza, London E1 6PS

When you let us know there is a problem our aim is to resolve things first time as quickly as possible.  
If you’re not happy with our first response we have a two stage complaint process. This meets the requirements of the Housing Ombudsman’s Complaint Code and protects your legal rights.

 

Here’s how it works

Stage 1

  • When you submit your complaint we will acknowledge receipt of it within five working days.   Providing you with a reference number and the name of the Customer Resolution Officer responsible for carefully investigate your concerns.
  • We will get back to you with a full response in 10 working days.
  • If you’re not happy with the findings from Stage 1 the next step is to take your complaint to Stage 2.  You should contact us within 10 working days of receiving the findings of Stage 1 to escalate your complaint to Stage 2.

Stage 2

Once reported you will receive acknowledgement from us that your complaint is now at Stage 2 within five working days.

  • We will respond to you in full within 20 working days.
  • If we need more time to investigate your complaint we will keep you updated within those 20 days on the next steps; providing an acceptable time-line for completion. This will be no more than a further 20 days. We will provide you with the Housing Ombudsman Service contact details.

If you're unhappy with the outcome of Stage 2 you can take your complaint to the Independent Housing Ombudsman Service (HOS) in line with the Housing Complaints Code. 

Complaints Self-Assessment

East End Homes must carry out a self-assessment of our Complaints service every year to make sure it is in line with the Housing Ombudsman's Complaints Code. Once the self-assessment is approved by our Board, the document must be published as part of the annual complaints performance and service improvement report on our website. Our Board's response to the report must be published alongside this. 

As part of our membership of the Housing Ombudsman Service we are expected to publish a Performance and Service Improvement report. We also have to complete an annual self-assessment against the Complaints Handling Code published by the Ombudsman.
