Lessons learnt from complaints

At H&F Homes we take complaints about our service very seriously. We not only want to deal with individual complaints but find ways of using your complaints to help us improve our service. Here are some examples of what we mean by this:

We had a complaint about:
The amount of repairs that needed to take place following a new tenant moving into their property.

And as a result we:
Reviewed our process on refurbishing vacant properties to ensure that a single contractor was used to carry out works rather than two or more contractors as was previously the case. This has led to the contractor being more accountability as they now had sole responsibility for the work. This has improved the service for tenants moving in to their new home.      

We had a complaint about: 
Tenants’ receiving rent arrears letters which included the name of deceased relatives who were co-tenants.

As a result of this:
The policy on terminating tenancies on the death of a tenant was reviewed to ensure that we are more sensitive in dealing with such matters

We had a complaint about:
A customer is being charged for two parking spaces even though she handed in her Notice to Vacate Forms and is registered disabled.

As a result of this:
A clear process with an audit trail of documents received by South Hammersmith reception and forwarded to the re-housing department was put into place.  This will give more accountability between both teams, and ensure that tasks are actioned and completed within reasonable timescales
