You can make a formal complaint about:
-
Standards of service.
-
Actions taken or not taken.
We accept complaints about MTVH and third parties acting on our behalf – for example, contractors we use to make repairs.
What happens when you make a complaint
- We’ll send you an acknowledgment within 5 working days of receiving your complaint to let you know that we’ve received it. Once allocated, your dedicated Complaint Coordinator will provide their direct telephone number and email address to support managing your current complaint.
- We’ll investigate your complaint and, where possible, get back to you within 10 working days. This will be when we agree how we’re going to resolve your complaint.
- If we cannot offer a solution within 10 working days, we may have to extend by a further 10 working days. If after this point we are still unable to resolve your complaint, we will contact you to agree a timeframe to ensure we have fully investigated and provided you with an appropriate response.
- If you’ve received your final stage 1 complaint response and it does not resolve all your concerns, you can escalate your complaint (move it on) to stage 2.
If you can’t make a complaint online
Call us on 0203 535 3535, Monday to Friday, 8am – 6pm. We’ll take you through the process and raise a complaint on your behalf.

If our response to your complaint is not satisfactory
If you feel we haven’t addressed your issues, or you have more evidence we have not considered, you can have your complaint reviewed by a secondary Complaint Coordinator and moved to stage 2. Escalate your complaint from stage 1 to stage 2 online.
Information on how to have your complaint reviewed is in your stage 1 final response letter.
Stage 2
- We’ll send you the contact details of the person handling your stage 2 complaint within 5 days of receiving your review request.
- If we cannot respond within 20 working days, we’ll let you know and get in touch to discuss a new response time.
- We’ll send you our final response. This means you’ve come to the end of our process and your complaint is closed.
If our final response is not satisfactory
If you’ve received our final response and are still not satisfied, you can refer your complaint to the Housing Ombudsman Service to review once you have received your Stage 2 Final Response Letter.
The Housing Ombudsman resolves issues between landlords and residents. The service is free and the Ombudsman carries out its investigations fairly and without taking sides.
