ninetyOne’s Step-by-Step Guide
If you’re feeling frustrated with your existing factor and you’re ready to work with someone new, we have good news:
Switching factors is as easy as changing your electricity or gas supplier!
If you’re ready to cut costs, improve your living environment, and experience a person-focused property management experience, we’re here to help.
Find out how and why you always have the right to switch factors.
Title Deeds / Deed of Conditions
Most Scottish developments contain clauses that appoint the initial factor, explain how owners can remove or replace them, set voting thresholds, and specify notice procedures. Typically, it allows a majority of proprietors, two-thirds of owners, or another specified percentage to appoint a new factor.
Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004
Where title deeds do not fully specify management procedures, the Tenement Management Scheme (contained within the Act) can apply by default. However, the Act does not directly state “owners can replace the factor.” Instead, it enables majority decision-making where the title deeds allow.
For a small fee, you can use the Land Registry to find out the terms and conditions of your current factors, your timeline for switching, and the number of votes you need to make the transition.
