Dispute Resolution Process

Foxtons is committed to dealing with supplier queries as quickly as possible and has a dedicated Finance Team who are reachable via phone and email. The principal point of contact is the Accounts Payable Administrator. Suppliers are required to provide corrected invoices or any such necessary information which may help resolve the matter. If the Accounts Payable Administrator is unable to resolve the dispute, then the issue is escalated to a project manager / originator of the purchase order who are then responsible for resolving the issue. The matter may also be passed up to the Group's Finance Director. Once the dispute has been resolved, the outstanding invoice(s) is paid without further delay.
