Complaints Policy

Last updated: 20 August 2026

1. Introduction

Khalbros (“KHALBROS”) has a complaints procedure and a complaints registration system. The complaints procedure oversees the handling of all types of complaints, both internally and externally, received by KHALBROS. The complaints registration system supports this procedure.

We work on the principle that complaints are handled confidentially, and that people are only made aware of the complaint or its existence if their position makes this desirable or necessary.

The following subjects are dealt with in more detail in this Complaints Policy:

  • Purpose

  • Definition of a complaint

  • Obligation to report

  • Handling and settlement of external complaints

  • Handling and settlement of internal complaints

  • Urgent complaints

  • Supervision and management

  • Tenant and tenancy complaints

  • Block management complaints

1.1 Purpose of the Complaints Procedure

The purpose of the complaints procedure is to gain an understanding of the nature, extent and possible resolution of complaints about KHALBROS, so that adequate measures can be taken where necessary to reach an agreement to settle the complaint and prevent its recurrence in the future.

1.2 Definition of a Complaint

A distinction is made between internal and external complaints.

Internal Complaints

An internal complaint is a non-personal, written expression of dissatisfaction, including by email, by a staff member of KHALBROS about a specific process or a specific action or omission on the part of KHALBROS.

External Complaints

External complaints concern any written expression of dissatisfaction, including by email, by a customer or business contact about any action or omission on the part of KHALBROS, its staff, or one of its contracted subcontractors.

A complaint made by telephone or communicated orally is not considered a formal complaint. The staff member to whom the complaint is expressed will explain to the complainant that, if they wish to submit a formal complaint, this can be done in writing.

1.3 Obligation to Report

In accordance with this Complaints Policy, every KHALBROS staff member must report external complaints to their immediate superior.

They will ensure this is done immediately after receipt of the complaint. The registration and settlement of complaints are discussed in more detail under Section 2.

2. Handling and Settlement of External Complaints

External complaints can be emailed to complaints@khalbros.co.uk or sent by post to:

KHALBROS Group
20 York Place
Leeds
LS1 2EX

Step 1

The complaint is received by KHALBROS and is forwarded to the relevant business unit.

Step 2

The relevant business unit confirms receipt of the complaint within two working days, stating who will handle it.

If the complaint relates to a matter which is already being handled by solicitors or alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) settlement schemes, you will be advised of this and asked to redirect your correspondence where appropriate. The complaints process for such matters will end here.

Step 3

A copy of the complaint is sent to the person handling the complaint, who must respond to the complaint in writing within 15 working days.

A copy of this response must be sent to the Compliance department.

Step 4

If no reply is received from the complainant within five working days of the dispatch of the written response, the complaint will be considered settled.

Step 5

The person handling the complaint archives the letter of complaint in the relevant complainant's file. The Compliance department will also archive a copy of the correspondence.

3. Handling and Settlement of Internal Complaints

Step 1

The internal complaint must be submitted in writing by the staff member to their immediate superior.

If, for whatever reason, this is not possible, the complaint can be submitted to General Management.

Step 2

The complaint is handled by the Compliance department, which brings the complaint to the attention of the person within KHALBROS responsible for resolving the complaint.

4. Urgent Complaints

If a complaint has to be resolved urgently, the person receiving the complaint is responsible for ensuring its timely settlement.

5. Supervision and Management

KHALBROS Management is responsible for supervising compliance with the complaints procedure.

The data concerning the complaint are kept by the person handling the complaint for a period of at least one year after it has been settled.
