Scottish Property Factors in Glasgow and Edinburgh

Property factors are individuals or companies that manage the maintenance and repair of buildings and common areas on behalf of property owners. In Glasgow and Edinburgh, the use of property factors dates back many centuries, with factors known to have been employed to manage properties as far back as the 17th century.

The role of the property factor has evolved over time. In the early days, a factor would typically be a trusted individual who would oversee repairs and maintenance on a small scale. As society became more complex and buildings grew larger, the role of the factor expanded to include more management responsibilities, such as collecting rents and handling disputes among tenants.

Today, property factors play a crucial role in Scotland's property estate market. They are responsible for overseeing and coordinating all aspects of property management, including maintenance and repairs, tenant communication, rent collection, and other administrative tasks. The use of property factors is especially common in large apartment buildings and complexes, where managing the needs of multiple tenants can be a complex and time-consuming task.

Overall, the history of property factors in Scotland is closely intertwined with the city's growth and development. As buildings became more complex, so too did the role of the property factor, and today, they are an essential part of the city's real estate landscape our aim is to put a more modern touch to an ever-changing market and to become the best property factor in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Our tenement was under a certain well known for being hellish factor who shall not be named much like Lord Voldemort (in saying that our building felt like the deathly hallows under our previous factor *cough rhymes with Dames Kibb cough*). Nothing got done by them and when it was? It was not done correctly at all and we were all charged a fortune. Our garden was constantly left in literal jungle like ruin, foundation repairs were not being taken care of, the cleaning service would have been better done by the Mice from Cinderella with their feather brooms and no one could even get them on the phone nor did anyone even ever meet a face to a name at this place. So we fully had enough and we started looking into voting them out and finding a better factor, enter Homesbook and WOW... The difference that has already been made in a month! Not only has the director Craig personally popped over to meet everyone, he listened to our concerns and the second Homesbook got the green light to factor our building? All of these issues from our previous factor have already started being taken care of after months and even years of us waiting on the previous factor to sort them and some have already been done within the first month! Craig and the Homesbook team are a breath of fresh air and I will never stop recommending them to the community when I see others having the same issues we did before Homesbook came along.Not only that, at 5am this morning, our bathroom was taken over by a random small swarm of angry wasps. We contained the issue to the bathroom and got in touch with Homesbook's out of hours number at 6am, also explaining that I'm severely allergic to wasp stings and require EpiPens. Within a literal couple of hours, Homesbook already had a very friendly and highly professional pest control family run business at our door (Called EssentialPest Services who I highly recommend!) and the problem was solved within minutes. Thankfully no nest, just a freak random occurrence. Funny enough the guy they had sent over actually discovered a previous and thankfully now very dead wasps nest that the previous factor wouldn't take care of, despite being told about my allergy, when the nest was active a few years ago. It ended up dying out naturally due to weather conditionsand temperature drops. Although we had to endure keeping our windows closed all summer as a result! Not nice!I can't thank Craig and the team enough for everything they have done so far for this building and especially for jumping to action so fast this morning, especially considering my life was very much at risk.If you're having issues with your current factor, speak to your neighbours, look into Homesbook and contact them! They have literally changed our quality of life in our building and we're all so grateful for them!

Craig & Team do a great job on an extremely difficult development in Springburn where I own 2 let properties , Rubbish , and furniture is dumped on a daily basis , we now get twice monthly uplift , the place would be a total mess if this wasn’t arranged.

Was really good quite quick to. They arrived at about 10 ish the morning fixed whole in my floor and replaced the lino with flooring. And was finished for 3pm. Very friendly and polite. Will return to do the trim but over all really impressed with the outcome.

I have just had work carried out in my bathroom. I was flooded and my bathroom needed completely ripped out and refitted. I cannot express how pleased I am with the professionalism of Paul & Ryan from start to finish and how happy I am with the outcome of the work carried out. It is like a dream bathroom, these pics are taken just before it was fully completed but I couldn't wait to review them as I am so pleased with it! Love it!!

Homesbook Factoring operates like a well oiled machine. They maintain resources that work together to address business problems and interact with customers. I've found their services to be quite helpful and at a reasonable operating price. I would strongly recommend that property owners utilize HBF for property management.

After managing and leasing property directly for awhile, decided to look at having a property management company help run things. Homesbook Factoring Ltd was highly recommended, so took a chance and was really impressed with the level of support and professionalism. They took care of everything from advertising to placement, and I was given oversight for every step of the process. Highly recommend HBFL for anyone

I called HBF October 15 2022 about the lights in our Garage for the apartment property . The bulbs needed to be replaced and that afternoon CRAIG came and installed new lights all through the garage . Thank you Homesbook
