Listed and converted buildings are especially common in Glasgow and Edinburgh, where many old schools, buildings and churches have been converted into residential blocks, but our factor services are also available in other parts of Scotland.

With specialist knowledge and experience managing both listed and converted buildings, we tailor our property factoring services to meet the particular requirements of these properties.

Compliance with Building
Regulations & Conservation Laws

Specialist Maintenance & Restoration

Converted properties tend to feature distinctive layouts and building materials. These properties require specialist maintenance from experienced contractors with in-depth knowledge of various construction techniques.

Converted buildings may feature period elements like exposed beams, sash windows, stone facades or vaulted ceilings that need regular upkeep to preserve their structural integrity. We can facilitate:

Preventative inspections and maintenance to protect original features and avoid costly deterioration.
Appointing experienced contractors who are familiar with older construction methods and modern adaptations.
Tailor maintenance solutions to the particular needs of your converted property, ensuring long-term durability.

Managing Shared Facilities & Mixed-Use Spaces

Converted properties often have shared features like courtyards, atriums, stairwells and communal gardens. We ensure that the common spaces in listed apartments, converted townhouses, and shared heritage buildings are well-maintained and continue to meet all residents’ needs. Our property factoring services include:

Overseeing the upkeep of communal areas such as landscaping, shared gardens, courtyards and external facades.
Managing mixed-use spaces where residential and commercial units coexist, ensuring the needs of both types of tenants are met.
Ensuring secure access points and managing waste to maintain a clean and safe environment for all residents.

Who is responsible for shared drainage and electrical systems in a converted building?

The title deeds, lease arrangements and ownership structure of the building typically determine responsibility for shared drainage, electrical systems and other communal services. As these systems often serve multiple flats within a converted property, maintenance and repair costs are usually shared between owners.

Are sinking funds important for converted buildings?

Sinking funds, can help owners prepare for future maintenance and repair costs by setting aside money for planned work.

We work with homeowners to provide transparent financial management and support informed decision-making regarding future maintenance requirements.

What insurance arrangements are needed for converted historic buildings?

Many converted historic buildings have a communal buildings insurance policy covering shared parts of the building and associated land. Requirements vary depending on the ownership structure, property type and any listed building considerations.

Taylor & Martin manages insurance administration on behalf of homeowners, including renewals, claims and insurer communications without taking any commission.

Insurance costs are typically included within quarterly factoring invoices, making the process straightforward and transparent.
