How to make a complaint to LPS

Our commitment to customers

If you are not satisfied with the standard of service Land & Property Services (LPS) provide to you, there is a procedure you can go through to make a complaint.

LPS aim to ensure that:

  • making a complaint is as easy as possible
  • we treat your complaint seriously
  • we deal with your complaint promptly and in confidence
  • we learn from complaints and use them to review and improve our service

What is a complaint?

A complaint is when you tell us you are not happy about the service we provide. It can be about anything and could include when:

  • we do not deliver a service on time
  • we give you the wrong information
  • you receive a poor quality service
  • you have a problem with a member of staff
