Our Approach
To Tenement Factoring
At The Tenement Company, we take a local, hands-on approach to the management of traditional Scottish tenement buildings. Based in Glasgow’s West End, we work closely with owners to ensure buildings are properly maintained, repairs are organised efficiently, and communication remains clear and consistent.
We believe that caring for Scotland’s traditional tenements requires both practical knowledge and a genuine respect for the buildings themselves. Through regular communication with owners and a proactive approach to maintenance, we aim to protect and preserve these historic properties for the long term.
Our factoring services operate across Central and Western Scotland, including Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock, Inverclyde, Largs, Bute, the Isle of Cumbrae, Fort William, Argyll, Stirlingshire and Lanarkshire, providing reliable management for tenement owners who want their buildings properly cared for.

Our factoring services can be tailored to suit the requirements of each individual development. We offer a clear and straightforward factoring service with a fixed management fee, with any additional services or works quoted separately so owners always understand the costs involved
We provide a complete factoring service for traditional Scottish tenement buildings, ensuring shared maintenance, repairs and property management are organised efficiently and managed transparently for all owners.
We specialise in the care of traditional Victorian and Edwardian sandstone tenements, while also factoring later developments such as 1960s tenement blocks, commonly constructed in brick, concrete or rendered finishes with shared entrances and flat or low-pitched roofs.
All properties under our management are regularly inspected, with annual building condition reports prepared to outline the condition of the property, proposed improvements, possible grant funding opportunities and any required repairs.
Our team brings together experience in roofing, building, property management and surveying, giving us practical knowledge and hands-on experience working directly on Scotland’s tenement buildings.
“Our approach is built on transparency, compliance and a genuine local presence. As a Glasgow-based company, we provide a hands-on factoring service focused on clear communication, responsible management and the long-term care of Scotland’s tenement buildings — delivered by local people who understand the properties and communities they serve.”
Thinking About Changing Factors?
If your building is considering appointing a new factor, we begin by visiting the property to carry out an inspection so we can understand the condition of the building and its maintenance needs.
Following this, we provide owners with a short building report and a quote for our factoring services.
If a majority of owners agree to appoint us (in line with the Tenement Management Scheme – Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004), we then assist with notifying the current factor and arranging the transfer of management.
