Joint Equity Ltd and the FSA Complaints Procedure
Click here to download our full Complaints Procedure (PDF)
Complaints Procedure - Apr 2008 V1.1.pdf
The Joint Equity Scheme is for first-time buyers, home owners and property investors.  This site is developed and maintained by Joint Equity ltd. ©Joint Equity (2009)
Joint Equity Ltd works with Mortgage Beaters Ltd to provide case studies & Illustrations to prospective Owner-Partners & Investor-Partners. Joint Equity Ltd does not carry out any regulated activities and so is not regulated by the FSA (Financial Services Authority). Joint Equity Ltd are introducer appointed representatives of Mortgage Beaters Ltd, which are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
The content of this website is accurate to the best of our knowledge and  for information only. We do not provide financial advice.

► Joint Equity response to the FSA Complaints Procedure

Joint Equity is not regulated by the FSA as we do not carry out any regulated activities. It is not possible to be voluntarily regulated so we cannot “opt in”. All our mortgage advice is provided by our independent mortgage advisors  Mortgage Beaters Ltd who are FSA regulated more

However, we consider that the FSA initiatives should be considered the minimum standard for any business connected with mortgages and who are in regular contact with the public..

But Joint Equity is an ethical organisation and we absolutely believe transparency is the core element of our business. We therefore although we comply with FSA requirements as a minimum  we also try to put ourselves in our Partner’s position and understand what you will want.

We want our Owner Partners to buy a home successfully and our Investor Partners to invest successfully. If you have a complaint it is because something went and we want to know about it for 2 reasons.

First we want to put things right for you and do it as quickly as we can

Secondly we need to identify what went wrong and why. Then we need to develop and implement a plan to put it right for the future.

Mistakes, problems, or whatever has caused our Partners a problem ultimately costs us money and is a waste of time for everyone.

Our Complaints Procedure is very clear and provides time boundaries for each step. More And we are proud that we do more than the FSA require. We already exceed FSA requirements with our Treating Partners Fairly policy and charter and our Complaints Procedure is also better. See table above for summary.

We will publish the numbers of complaints we receive and how long it takes to resolve each one every 3 months at the same time we publish the Treating Partners Fairly statistics.

► The problem with reporting on our Complaints Procedure

Unlike Joint Equity to have problems producing clear and transparent information, we hear you say - but it is true.

The problem is we have been in business for 4 years and have not received a single complaint so the graph has nothing on it.

Looks odd but that is the result click 2010 or 2009 to see what we mean. But remember this is not a challenge to ruin our good record!
