How are a property's 'common areas' determined?
The Deed of Conditions for your property should outline the common areas that are shared between residents, such as closes, stairwells and gardens.
See our 'jargon buster' for help with some commonly used legal terms associated with property management.
How do I decide what factoring services are required?
If you decide to appoint a property manager, you must give them clear instructions about the common maintenance and the repairs you need.
You may find it helpful to elect a residents' group so you can decide collectively about the services you want. You may also wish to nominate one person to communicate directly with the property management company.
We offer flexible yet efficient management services that can be tailored to meet your exact requirements. If you are unsure about the full range of services you need, we are happy to offer advice.
Paying for property management/factoring services
Owners are charged quarterly or half yearly management fees and running costs for services such as close cleaning, window cleaning, grass cutting or any common repairs.
The 'factor's float' ensures that the property manager/factor has sufficient funds available to pay for regular common costs.
You may also be asked to contribute regular payments to a sinking or building maintenance fund. This fund contributes to future maintenance and repair costs and helps avoid the need for a large one off payment.
