Frequently asked questions
- How do I write a letter about formal complaint to your landlord?
- Set out the facts in date order, state exactly what went wrong, cite the consumer or contract right you are relying on, and finish with a specific remedy and deadline. Mayfair Appeals drafts all of that for you: answer a few questions and you receive a formal letter, an email version and a follow-up, ready to send in about 60 seconds.
- Is this housing letter template free to use?
- You can read the example wording on this page free of charge. A personalised document — written around your dates, names and amounts, with the correct legal citations and a downloadable PDF — starts at £0.59.
- What should I include as evidence?
- Attach anything that proves the timeline: receipts or invoices, order and reference numbers, photographs, screenshots of chat or email threads, and notes of any phone calls with dates and the name of the person you spoke to. Reference each attachment in the letter itself.
- How long should I give them to respond?
- Fourteen days is the accepted standard for a first formal letter, and eight weeks is the usual limit before you can escalate to an ombudsman or regulator. Every document we produce states the deadline clearly and explains the next step if it passes.
- What can I do if they ignore my letter?
- Send the follow-up included with your document, then escalate: to the company's formal complaints procedure, to the relevant ombudsman or regulator, to your card provider through chargeback or Section 75, or to the small claims court. The action plan supplied with your letter sets out which route fits your situation.
