TPO

The Property Ombudsman (TPO) is an independent redress scheme that resolves disputes between consumers and property agents, including estate and letting agents who are members of the scheme. TPO provides a free, impartial service to handle complaints about sales and lettings, investigates cases where internal complaints procedures have been exhausted, and can award compensation up to £25,000. Updates to TPO's codes of practice, membership requirements, and dispute resolution procedures are published by The Property Ombudsman directly, while broader regulatory context comes from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and legislation.gov.uk. Watchdog HQ monitors changes to TPO weekly.
