Scottish Factoring Law and Glasgow's Tenement Heritage
Property management in Scotland operates under a fundamentally different legal framework from England and Wales. The Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 requires all property factors to register with the Scottish Government, comply with a statutory Code of Conduct, and provide homeowners with a Written Statement of Services. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 governs the maintenance of shared elements in tenement buildings, setting out the Tenement Management Scheme that applies where title deeds are silent on maintenance responsibilities. Our Glasgow team, acting as a registered managing agent, is fully conversant with this legislation and operates in strict compliance with all Scottish requirements for block management Glasgow.
Glasgow's tenement buildings are the backbone of the city's housing stock. The red sandstone tenements of the West End and the blonde sandstone buildings of the Southside are architecturally significant and require specialist building maintenance. Sandstone decay, particularly in the softer red varieties, is an ongoing concern that requires experienced stonemasons. Close (stairwell) maintenance, backcourt upkeep, shared roof repairs, and chimney stack maintenance are all part of the regular factoring cycle. Our approved Glasgow contractors include sandstone specialists, traditional roofers, and close decorators who understand the specific materials and techniques required for residential block management of these heritage properties.
Beyond traditional tenements, Glasgow's property market has diversified significantly. The Clydeside regeneration has brought modern apartment developments to areas like Finnieston, Tradeston, and Pacific Quay. The Merchant City continues to see warehouse conversions alongside new-build residential schemes. We manage properties across this full spectrum, adapting our approach to suit the specific requirements of each building type. For modern developments, we establish sinking funds for future major works and manage complex building systems including district heating, controlled entry, and underground car park ventilation. As a leading property management Glasgow provider and block management company, we maintain communal areas to the highest standard. Emergency repairs across all Glasgow properties are attended to within four hours, and routine building maintenance is completed within five working days, with transparent service charge reporting for all proprietors.
“Our West End tenement close had been poorly maintained for years under our previous factor. Block organised a full sandstone survey, coordinated necessary stonework repairs through the common repair process, and arranged a complete redecoration of the close. They communicate clearly, their accounts are transparent, and they actually understand Scottish factoring law. A breath of fresh air.”- Fiona S., Homeowner, Hillhead, G12
Frequently Asked Questions About Block Management in Glasgow
How does Scottish property factoring differ from English block management?
Scotland has its own distinct property law framework. The Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 requires all property factors to be registered with the Scottish Government and to comply with the Code of Conduct for Property Factors. Scottish property ownership is typically based on factored common ownership rather than the English leasehold system. Our Glasgow team is fully registered and operates in compliance with Scottish factoring law, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, and the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003.
Do you manage traditional Glasgow tenement buildings?
Yes, Glasgow tenements are one of the city's defining architectural features, and we have extensive experience managing them.
