Complaints

We are committed to providing the best service we can to our customers.

We want to be told if there has been a problem with a service we have provided or when you are happy with something we have done. A complaint can be made directly to any member of staff at Solihull Community Housing.

Complaints are valuable feedback. They gives us a chance to learn and most importantly a chance to improve our services.

For more information about making a complaint, please view our Complaints Policy (pdf 386 kB).

You can also see how we’re performing by viewing our Complaints Dashboards.

Housing Ombudsman

The Housing Ombudsman provides a free, independent and impartial service for tenants who feel their landlord has not handled their complaint properly. All landlords must manage complaints in line with the Housing Ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code.

If you’ve already raised a complaint with us and you’re unhappy with how we dealt with it or the outcome, you can take your case to the Housing Ombudsman.
