ninetyOne has the expertise and experience to help you build a strong reputation, improve development management, and add value to your business with property factoring that keeps homeowners happy.
Completing a development is a significant milestone, but it isn’t the end of the journey…
And as your team start to move on to the next project, there’s a question you need to ask yourself:
Who manages the development once you are off-site?
A failure to plan ahead can lead to complaints, public scrutiny, and reputational damage.
At ninetyOne, we know how to deliver great service to every homeowner in your development.
And the earlier we get involved, the easier the next stage of the journey is for everyone.
We work with property developers across Scotland to create a seamless transition experience for homeowners from the moment they collect their keys.
Drafting Title Deeds
We work with you to ensure your factoring clauses are clear, enforceable, realistic, and compliant with all relevant Scottish legislation.
Relationship Management
From launch events to welcome packs, we connect with homeowners and manage all factoring queries from the moment they move in.
Clear Cost Apportionment
We ensure proper float structuring and sanity-check shared area allocations to ensure funds are sufficient and owners understand their contributions.
Tailored Development Services
We manage the maintenance and upkeep of all shared spaces in your developments, handle emergency works, and even assist with major claims.
We handle all regular development maintenance in-house, so works are delivered on time, in budget, and to the highest quality standards.
Every development has a Senior Property Manager, who is reliable, efficient, and committed to giving homeowners a great experience.
We offer full financial transparency, a clear overview of works, and a 24/7 online portal to ensure homeowners are never left in the dark.
We provide full property management services for new developments, ensuring your development runs smoothly from the point of handover onwards. This includes common area maintenance, financial management, contractor coordination, insurance administration, and proactive resident communication.
Ideally, a property factor should be appointed during the planning or construction phase of the project.
The earlier we get involved, the more effectively we can advise on essential areas like maintenance planning, budgeting, and legal document preparation.
A property factor manages and maintains all shared areas of a development on the behalf of homeowners.
Depending on the development, this can include:
Stairwells
Roofs
Landscaping
Car parks
Communal lighting
Drainage systems
We also organise repairs, collect payments from homeowners and manage major works to keep the development at a consistent high standard.
Under the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011, any company providing factoring services must be registered with the Scottish Government’s Property Factor Register and comply with the statutory Code of Conduct.
Yes. We can work alongside solicitors and developers to help structure factoring provisions within the title deeds or Deed of Conditions, ensuring responsibilities for common areas, maintenance obligations, and service charge arrangements are clearly defined.
Service charges are calculated based on the anticipated costs of maintaining communal areas. As part of our service, we can help developers create realistic, fair, and transparent budgets.
We will review all relevant documentation, including site plans, warranties, contractor information, maintenance schedules, and health & safety documentation during the handover to ensure all the details are as expected.
This ensures a smooth transition and allows us to manage the development efficiently from day one.
We primarily communicate with homeowners through our bespoke online portal, alongside welcome picks and regular development visits.
We have an in-house trades team, and use our homeowner portal to proactively schedule works and create preventative maintenance plans.
If homeowners or developers wish to switch property factors, we can assist with the transition process and ensure the development continues to be managed smoothly.
