Simple terms explainer
Councils that act as property factors - managing common parts of land or buildings on behalf of owners - must register with the Scottish Government’s Property Factor Register. This ensures transparency and accountability in property management. Councils must provide details of the properties they manage, comply with the statutory Code of Conduct for Property Factors, and keep their registration up to date. Failure to register or follow the code can lead to enforcement action and penalties.
