| Comment | The Tenements Act applies to more than just traditional tenements (though was written with those in mind): basically if it's a block of flats within the city limits and doesn't have a lift, it's probably covered https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=18323 The first place to find out more is your property deeds - this should list processes for appointing a new factor, disputes etc The Tenements Act does two things - it provides a set of default rules for cases where the deeds do not have anything in them (ie a lot of older properties), but also defines limits to what rules can be included in property deeds So, for example, if your deeds say nothing about appointing a new factor, then the default simple majority of properties applies. If the deeds state a bigger majority is needed, it cannot require more than 2/3rds of the properties to agree. There's also I think some complexities I'm not familiar with around the appointment of property managers for new builds If you think they're overcharging - most there sounds like they're taking the piss but just about within legal limits, but the insurance sounds way off - you need to lodge a complaint with them, and if that isn't resolved satisfactorily you can try and take it to a first-tier tribunal Most importantly, log *everything* https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/scotland/housing/repairs-and-improvements-s/property-factors-providing-services-to-homeowners-s/ |
