Adlington Retirement Living (ARL) Complaints Procedure
Adlington Retirement Living (ARL) are committed to providing a professional Sales and Marketing service to all our customers. We welcome all forms of feedback from customers and view complaints as an opportunity to learn and improve for the future.
This is a dedicated customer complaints procedure for issues that do not include the management of our developments or any defects within an apartment. We have separate complaints procedures for each of these complaints, and procedures are provided to new homeowners via Adlington Management Services (AMS).
If your complaint is related to a sales issue, please raise any concerns initially with the sales team. They may be able to resolve your concerns there and then.
If your complaint cannot be resolved by the sales team please put this in writing (letter or email) to ARL, who will acknowledge and respond in line with the timeframes and stages set out below.
Please be assured, we will not treat you any differently if you choose to make a complaint.
