Details

Customer complaints are handled by the VOA’s Complaints Resolution Team.

They do not investigate complaints but rather work with the other areas of the VOA to find a resolution and ensure that the customer receives the best possible service. They will consider complaints if:

  • the VOA have provided a poor service
  • have caused unreasonable delays
  • have not acted in accordance with our Charter
  • did not apply policy and guidance consistently
  • have made mistakes or provided poor or misleading advice

The VOA takes all complaints seriously and uses them positively to improve the service provided.

The Complaints Resolution Team cannot consider complaints about valuation matters and customers will be encouraged to follow statutory processes in place to dispute valuation decisions.
