We now utilise a company called Fior Property who are excellent. They offered us free advice and read through our Deeds and showed us our options and how to changed Factor all free of charge. We haven't looked back since and are so glad we changed as we have a better service and pay less. Might be worth a look? ...

Having been a flooding victim compounded by an HPMS act of negligence myself (see my review dated 6 Feb 2020) I thought I would share some information I learned a long the way. HPMS are required to operate in compliance with the Property Factors Code of Conduct, a copy is available from 'Property Factors Scotland Act 2011 - The Scottish Government' website. HPMS have 7 working days to respond to complaints though I found any difficult questions are simply ignored. I then complained to the Inf ...

Disgusting company to be associated with. One employee Heather Millar who runs the credit control department is a very vile human being, does not answer calls and provides cheeky responses full of lies when contacted by email. The only thing they care about is charging people as much money as possible and threaten with legal action if they do not pay. I am currently taking them to court over such actions. Please stay well away if you can do so. ...

Hi Liz, I recently found the allagents.co.uk website and have just read your review. I may have been a contributing factor to HPMS having little time to reply to clients emails. Please read my review "No Ethics, No Integrity but plenty of Foul Play" ( https://www.allagents.co.uk/review/385466/) to fully understand where HPMS are eating up their time. ...

I read you review with interest. Labeling HPMS Con Artists is being overly generous. Please read my review posted 5 Feb 2020 on allagents.co.uk titles, "No Ethics, No Integrity but Plenty of Foul Play" ( https://www.allagents.co.uk/review/385466/) . I currently have one complaint with the Parliamentary Ombudsman and another with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) for the second time. As you will note, I have launched an appeal for funding to petition the courts for the release of a t ...
