Sharing Ownership

Sharing Ownership

Sharing ownership, use or responsibility of common areas with a wide variety of neighbours and co-owners can be both rewarding and challenging.

When it comes to a leaking roof, graffiti in a shared space or clearing blocked drains most people will agree on the need to act to resolve an issue. As your Property Factor, we are here to help our customers wherever possible when it comes to the maintenance of your common property, however, there can be subjects which affect you or the common areas of your property, where your Factor’s ability to resolve an issue can be limited.

If there are social issues, problems with private property, or if the behaviour of individuals in or around a property are causing concern, even if this relates to common areas of your property, you may require assistance from other services, not just your Factor.

There are a wide range of other organisations and service providers who are there to help homeowners and residents of shared properties and we have gathered together information and resources which might help you if you experience such issues,  Click here to find out more.

Hopefully this information and the organisations referred to can help if you face any of these situations where you live.

If you need further more information or further assistance your local Property Factoring Team are here to help you too, you can contact us via the My H&P Web Portal, our website or smartphone App or give us a call on 0141 248 5693 or 0131 523 1575.
