What is the Property Factor Register?
The Property Factors Register was established under the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 (the Act) which came into force on 1 October 2012.
The Act defines the meaning of property factor and it is a
criminal offence to operate as a property factor whilst unregistered and without reasonable excuse.
