Our Commitments

We want you to have the evidence that we are your partner of choice — and we believe this goes beyond showing how we operate or how we get results.

That’s why we’ve created this page: to give you open access to a collection of tangible proof and useful resources that reflect both our legal obligations and moral commitments to our clients. From compliance documents and certifications to policies and our client charter, everything here exists to reassure you that you’re in safe, professional hands — every step of the way.

It’s the “boring but vital” stuff — the behind-the-scenes proof that we do things properly, professionally, and with your best interests at heart.

As in everything we do, we don’t settle for the bare minimum.

Because trust isn’t just claimed. It’s documented.

Estate Agents Act 1979

Business Insurance

Not only it is a legal requirement to be insured as a business, but it also offers protection for our clients and business continuity.

DBS Checked

Let Us Make It Right – Complaints Handling

As much as we prepare and plan ahead, not everything always goes to plan. We’re really sorry that you have had to visit this page to find out more about our complaints procedure, but before you go any further why not let our management team know about the problems you are experiencing so we can look into the issue and do our utmost to help you with a satisfactory solution.

Send a message directly to the management team.

Complaints Procedure

1. Please raise your complaint with the local Property Expert responsible for your property sale.

2. If your local Property Expert cannot resolve the issue for you then please put your complaint in writing addressed to the Management Team (email: complaints@lsproperties.uk)

3. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint in writing within 3 working days. We will also start a full investigation.

4. In line with the Property Redress Scheme guidelines a full written outcome will be sent to you within 15 working days.

5. If you are not satisfied with the full written outcome response from the Management Team you can write to the Managing Director, Guy Le Saige de La Villèsbrunne. In line with Property Redress guidelines the Managing Director will respond to you with a statement of the final view of the matter within 15 working days.

6. If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you can raise your complaint with Property Redress (https://www.propertyredress.co.uk/) Property Redress will request that you have exhausted the internal complaints procedure before contacting them.

Please note the following:

You will need to submit your complaint to Property Redress within 12 months of receiving our final viewpoint letter, including any evidence to support your case.

The Property Redress requires that all complaints are addressed through this in-house complaints procedure, before being submitted for an independent review.

If you are still not satisfied after the last stage of the in-house complaint procedure (or more than 8 weeks has elapsed since the complaint was first made) you can request an independent review from The Property Redress without charge.

7. When you have raised a complaint with Property Redress, they will write to us as agents requesting our Property File and our version of the events. A case officer will then undertake a formal review of your complaint largely based on the documents from both sides.
