The Tribunal found Ross & Liddell had breached the Code of Conduct and proposed a Property Factor Enforcement Order that included an apology and payment of £500 to the applicant.
"The Tribunal makes a Proposed Property Factor Enforcement Order in the above Application as follows: - The Respondent is to write to the Applicant take the following action: 1. Apologise for breaching their obligations under Section 6.4 of the relevant Code of Conduct. 2. Make a monetary payment of £500.00 to the Applicant as compensation for her inconvenience."
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."
The homeowner alleged the factor failed to comply with the Code of Conduct. The tribunal found the factor had not breached its duties, as the homeowner failed to provide adequate specification of complaints. The application was dismissed.
"In all of the circumstances narrated above, the Tribunal finds that the Factor has not failed in its duty under section 17(1)(b) of the 2011 Act to comply with sections 2.1, 6.1 and 6.9 of the 2012 Code of Conduct, property factor duties during the period 16th November 2017 to 16th August 2021 and sections 2.1 and 6.1 of the 2021 Code of Conduct."
The tribunal found that Ross and Liddell breached the Code of Conduct. The tribunal issued a Property Factor Enforcement Order for compensation and an apology. The factor complied with the order.
"The Tribunal order the Respondent to pay to the Applicant the sum of £150 for his time, effort, and inconvenience, and (2) The Tribunal order the Respondent to issue a letter of apology to the Applicant for their failure to comply with the Code of Conduct."
The tribunal rejected the application because the applicant was not a homeowner under the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011, and therefore the tribunal did not have jurisdiction.
"The Legal Member therefore determines that the application cannot be accepted. The application is rejected on that basis."
