Common issues hidden from most property owners
Most factors take 20–40% commission on buildings insurance without disclosing it. You could be overpaying hundreds of pounds per year.
Factors must follow a statutory Code of Conduct, but enforcement is complaint-driven. Many violations go unreported.
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.
The government register tells you who's registered—but nothing about their track record. Until now, there's been no independent comparison.
We combine official government sources with independent research to build the most comprehensive picture of Scotland's property factors. Every score is transparent and explainable.
Most developments can change factor with a simple majority vote. Get free, no-obligation quotes from factors actively looking for new business.
