PFEO Complied
The tribunal found the factor breached the code and proposed a PFEO, requiring the factor to pay compensation. The factor paid the compensation before the order was made, so the tribunal decided a PFEO was unnecessary.
"On 4 September 2025, following a Case Management Discussion held on 19 August 2025, the Tribunal made a Decision that the property factors had failed to comply with OPSP11 of the Property Factors Code of Conduct effective from 16 August 2021 and intimated that it proposed to make a Property Factor Enforcement Order."
