Are you dissatisfied with your current factor provider? Whether it’s due to poor service, high fees, or simply a desire for change, Homes Book Factoring is here to make the transition smooth and hassle-free. Thanks to recent legislation in Scotland, switching your factor provider has never been easier. Let us guide you through the process step by step.
- Review Your Title Deeds:Before initiating the switch, it’s essential to review your title deeds. These documents may contain rules on how to appoint and replace your factor. At Homes Book Factoring, we can assist you in examining your title deeds to determine the necessary steps for changing your factor.
- Call a Meeting or Discussion:If your title deeds do not specify procedures for replacing your factor, don’t worry. Section 4 of the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 empowers homeowners to make decisions about their property. The simplest way to initiate the change is by calling a meeting of homeowners or discussing the matter via an email group.
- Draft a Termination Letter:Once you’ve reached a decision to change your factor, prepare a simple letter stating your intention. The letter should outline the decision reached at the homeowners’ meeting and terminate the current factor’s appointment. At Homes Book Factoring, we can provide you with a template for this letter and offer guidance on its content.
- Obtain Signatures and Send:Ensure that at least half of the property owners sign the termination letter. Make copies of the letter and send the original via recorded delivery to your current factor. They are legally obligated to acknowledge receipt and provide you with a final statement of account for your review.
- Legal Right to Terminate:Remember, whether stated in your title deeds or under the 2004 Act, you have the legal right to terminate your factor’s appointment. Your property belongs to you, and the decision on who manages it is yours to make. Homes Book Factoring is here to provide expert advice and support throughout the process.
In conclusion, Homes Book Factoring understands that changing factor providers can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.
