About Us
Bespoke Property Management in Glasgow
Shared buildings bring shared responsibility, and that is what we handle as your property factors. We understand every client and property is unique, so we tailor our property factoring services to your building type and its needs.
With over a decade of experience, we take a proactive, hands-on approach that simplifies factoring management for:
- Tenement flats are one of the most common home types in central Scotland, making up around 28% of urban housing.
- Retirement communities
- Converted properties
- New build developments
- Other residential property types
Our dedicated team works closely with clients to provide property factoring services that suit each property’s unique requirements. From routine maintenance and gardening to arranging specialist repairs and playpark inspections, we keep common areas maintained to a high standard.
Each development has a named property manager who knows your building and its residents and manages things proactively.
Better property management services start with property factors who know your development. Get in touch with our Glasgow team for transparent fees and no commission on contracted work.
What Property Factors in Glasgow Are Responsible For
As your property factor, we manage the parts of a building shared by everyone, including the close, the roof, the back court, and other communal areas. We arrange essential maintenance and repairs, appoint trusted contractors, and supervise their work.
Every property factor in Scotland must appear on the Scottish Property Factor Register under the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011. Our registration number is PF000493.
The Act also sets a Code of Conduct for registered property factors, covering private businesses and local authorities alike. It includes how we explain our fees, how repairs to shared areas are authorised and how we handle complaints.
Your Written Statement of Services
You’ll receive a written statement of services from us within four weeks, setting out what we do, how much it costs and how to resolve any issues. Ours explains the management fee clearly, with no commission on common buildings insurance. Before choosing a factor, it’s important that you and your fellow homeowners read it carefully to ensure you understand it.
Property Factors for Glasgow Tenements & New Developments
Glasgow housing runs from sandstone tenements to modern estates, and each type needs a different level of care. That’s why we offer a bespoke property factoring service, built around the individual needs of your development. For example, a pre-1919 tenement might need gutters, stonework and close cleaning, while a new development is more likely to need require landscaping and play park inspections.
For new-build developments, lor & Martin as we can start managing the common parts before the first residents move in.
Some owners search for building factors, Glasgow property factors or factoring agents, and each term points to the same role. When comparing factors, Glasgow owners tend to consider fees and communication.
FAQs About Property Factoring Services
Explore common queries we receive about our property factoring services in Glasgow and the role property factors play.
What is a float, and why do I have to pay this?
A float is an initial payment we collect from property owners to ensure there’s always money available for routine maintenance and repairs, such as lawn care and refuse removal. We hold this in your Taylor & Martin client account, and we repay it to you when you sell your property, less any outstanding balance.
What is a sinking fund?
A sinking fund is a shared savings pot that you and your fellow owners build up over time to cover future large-scale works, such as roof repairs or structural improvements. It reduces the financial burden on you and your fellow homeowners when major works are needed.
Who is responsible for repairing a shared roof in a Glasgow tenement?
Your title deeds usually set out how roof repairs are shared between owners. Where the deeds don’t specify this, the Tenement Management Scheme in the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 applies instead. As your property factors, we gather quotes and manage the essential works on your behalf.
How do homeowners in Glasgow change property factors?
Owners of a building can agree to appoint a new property factor. Glasgow owners follow the process set out in their deeds or the Tenement Management Scheme, and we handle the switch for you, from start to finish.
