With over half the Scottish population residing in buildings or developments with shared maintenance responsibilities, property factoring plays a vital role in maintaining the built environment of our communities.
However, longstanding practices amongst many traditional factoring companies have resulted in homeowners paying over the odds for their shared insurance premiums, common repairs and maintenance contracts. Such practices inflate the homeowners total cost of ownership and make it impossible to achieve value for money.
At Sentry, our backgrounds in asset management, housing and regeneration help us deliver a factoring service which works better for homeowners. We do some key things differently, allowing us to provide our clients better value for money and improved service levels.
We take care of your shared spaces as if they were our own, keeping them in ship shape and fit for the future. At Sentry, we plan for the long-term, short-term and the unexpected.
As well as keeping you in the loop with regular updates on repairs and common business, we also offer leading response times to your communications and are always happy to meet with you on-site.
