Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Garndolbenmaen. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly.
