Complied

The homeowner complained about the factor's failure to issue a repair notice and carry out repairs, leading to unnecessary roof replacement. The tribunal found the factor in breach and awarded compensation for the loss of chance to avoid the replacement.

PFEO Proposed

The homeowner had a Property Factor Enforcement Order issued. The tribunal reviewed the factor's compliance and found it satisfactory, issuing a certificate of compliance.

HOHP/LM/16/0162
2017-10-26T12:00:00Z
PFEO Proposed

The homeowner's complaint was about a Notice of Referral not being properly served. The tribunal set aside its previous decision because it found sufficient doubt that the property factor had received the notice, and ordered the matter to be reconsidered.

"The Notice of Referral had not been sent by recorded delivery mail and that fact cast sufficient doubt on whether or not West Dunbartonshire Council had received the Notice of Referral."
