Should you wish to make a complaint to Drake & Co, please follow the steps listed below.

Drake & Co are an Estate Agents and Property Management Company. Staff work hard to liaise with tenants, landlords and contractors to ensure that everybody’s needs are met and that you enjoy your time renting the property with us. However, staff at Drakes do not own the property and we rely on third party availability to have repairs carried out, therefore there may be occasions in which the delivery or performance of the property is affected by an event outside our control.

Nonetheless, staff at Drake & Co are happy to assist with any issues and aim to provide a high level of customer service at all times. We appreciate your patience and cooperation throughout any problems that may arise.

Staff at Drake & Co endeavour to investigate and resolve any/all issues as efficiently and fairly as possible, once they have been brought to our attention. Before escalating a matter to a complaint, we ask that you contact us to discuss any problems/queries so that we can offer our assistance. You must contact us directly with any enquiries. Due to GDPR, we are unable to discuss matters with anybody except the tenants, landlord and parties directly involved.

Please contact us via email at: info@drakes.co.uk. Staff will be in touch with you as soon as soon as possible to discuss your query. Please note that during our communications, response time can be affected if we are required to liaise with third parties (such as landlords, contractors). If you are unsatisfied with the outcome of our discussions and would like to raise a complaint, a formal complaint must be submitted to us in writing, our Complaints Procedure can be found below.
