Why this matters

Common issues hidden from most property owners

💰

Hidden insurance commissions

Most factors take 20–40% commission on buildings insurance without disclosing it. You could be overpaying hundreds of pounds per year.

Ask your factor: "What commission do you take on our insurance?"
📋

Code of Conduct breaches

Factors must follow a statutory Code of Conduct, but enforcement is complaint-driven. Many violations go unreported.

🔒

Switching seems impossible

Most owners don't realise they can change factors. If over 50% of owners agree, you can appoint a new factor—often with no notice period.

We can connect you with factors looking for new developments

No way to compare

The government register tells you who's registered—but nothing about their track record. Until now, there's been no independent comparison.

Compare Factors exists to fix this
