This Order brings into force on 1st July 2012, Part 1 of the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 (“the Act”) on the registration of property factors, insofar as it is not already in force, except for sections 1(2) (making the register public) and 12 (offence of operating as a property factor without registration). It also brings into force on that day section 16 of the Act (dispute resolution) which provides for the homeowner housing panel and committees.
Article 3 makes transitional provision so those whose applications for registration as a property factor have not been determined by 1st October 2012 are not guilty of the offence of operating as a property factor without registration. It extends the protection provided by section 12(2) of the Act to those who begin to act as a property factor after 1st July 2012.
The Bill for the Act received Royal Assent on 7th April 2011. Part 3 of the Act came into force on 8th April 2011.
