Dangerous tree removal
We advised Newton, Inverness that a large Silver Birch which was close to our boundary wall had developed a severe " lean" and was dangerously close to our wall and fence. June contacted the tree surgeons who, due to recent storms, advised that they were dealing with a significant backlog of work. June kept me updated on progress and communicated efficiently throughout the waiting period. The dangerous tree has now been removed and I have been very impressed with the professional manner in which this matter has been rescolved by June.

Leaks, Delays, Legal Breaches — and Then They Quit When a Cheaper Quote Appeared
My experience with Newton Property Management has been nothing short of appalling. Over eight months, I reported separate leaks in different rooms of my home. Instead of timely action, I was met with silence, excuses, and repeated incompetence. Emails went unanswered, and they sent me blank files instead of the documents I had requested.
Contractors repeatedly advised Newton that scaffolding and major roof works were required, yet it took them six months to gather just two quotes — despite their own Written Statement of Services promising contractor contact within three working days. That standard was ignored entirely.
When I eventually sourced my own quote — at half the price of the one Newton finally produced — they suddenly announced they could “no longer act” for the building. After months of delays, mismanagement, and contradictory explanations, the factor effectively removed itself. At least the rubbish took itself out.
The legal failings were just as serious. My Subject Access Request was not provided within the statutory one‑month deadline. When I pointed out that this was unlawful, I received a reply stating they were “fully aware” of the legislation and had two months. That is not how the law works. The two‑month extension only applies when the organisation explains the need for it within the first month — which they did not. Their handling of my SAR was a clear breach of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
And if you want a sense of how overwhelmed and disorganised they are, their own Customer Relationship Manager opened one of her emails with:
“Apologies for the delay in responding, December was an exceptionally busy period for complaints, SARs and First Tier Tribunal cases.”
If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what will.
My complaint was mishandled, not logged correctly, and only acknowledged after repeated chasing. Their responses contradicted their own service standards, the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 Code of Conduct, and basic professionalism. Temporary fixes were never followed up, no proactive inspections were carried out, and responsibility was constantly shifted elsewhere.
This experience has cost me time, money, and damage to my home — all while I was left chasing a factor that seemed unable or unwilling to meet even its most basic obligations.
I would strongly advise homeowners to avoid this company if they value transparency, competence, or lawful handling of their data.
EDIT TO RESPOND
Thank you for your response. If I’d known you were capable of replying within 24 hours, I would have raised my concerns via Trustpilot while I was still a customer.
Your reply still doesn’t reflect the documented timeline or the evidence you were given months ago. My fully evidenced chronology was submitted with my formal complaint in September — and if you go back to that complaint, you can see the entire timeline laid out clearly. It was ignored until January, a four‑month delay that breaches your own service standards and the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 Code of Conduct.
Across those months, the excuses ranged from illness, to being short‑staffed, to a contractor falling off a roof, to the person I’d spoken to “no longer being with the company.” At this point, the only thing you didn’t blame was a lunar alignment.
I appreciate the attempt to dilute and minimise — without actually saying anything constructive. It’s almost nostalgic, really. Your reply brings back the greatest hits of past phone calls: long pauses, vague assurances, and absolutely nothing of substance at the end of it.
Contractors repeatedly advised that major roof works were required, yet Newton took six months to obtain only two quotes, despite promising contractor contact within three working days. When I sourced my own quote at half the price, Newton immediately resigned as factor. The timing is not subtle.
Your handling of my Subject Access Request was also unlawful. An extension must be invoked within the first month and must be justified. Neither happened. Claiming you had “two months” as of right was simply incorrect.
Emails went unanswered, temporary repairs were not followed up, and I was sent blank files instead of the documents I requested. Your own Customer Relationship Manager openly acknowledged an “exceptionally busy period for complaints, SARs and First Tier Tribunal cases,” which says more than any review ever could.
If my review helps other homeowners avoid the same experience — and perhaps helps your staff, who clearly have far more on their plates than the organisation can realistically chew — then it has done exactly what it needed to.
Please, just tell the truth: you couldn’t run a bath.

Reply from Newton Property Management
Good morning Ms Thomas,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry that your experience with Newton Property Management did not meet your expectations and we recognise that prolonged building issues can be extremely frustrating for homeowners.
During our period of appointment, Newton managed the property for approximately two years. Throughout that time, multiple qualified contractors attended the building to assess the roof condition and provide specifications and costings for the works they deemed necessary. In total, five contractors reviewed the issues, with minor remedial works undertaken where possible. All contractors advised that the roof was in poor condition and required extensive repairs across several areas, including chimneys, ridge flashing, slates, skews, downpipes and soffits.
While we obtained quotes from contractors on our approved list and communicated these to owners, the required works were not instructed. Where owners choose to proceed with repairs outside of the factoring instruction process or with contractors not appointed by the factor, we are unable to take responsibility for those works. In light of this and the ongoing lack of instruction to proceed, we took the difficult decision to resign as factor.
We strongly refute any suggestion that matters were ignored or that there was no communication. We remained in correspondence throughout the process and responded to queries as they arose, including during what was an exceptionally busy period across the wider property management sector.
In relation to the Subject Access Request, we acknowledge that this was delayed due to a combination of operational pressures and the holiday period. You were kept informed during this time. While a SAR is a statutory right, it is separate from and does not reflect the standard of property management services provided.
We are disappointed that you feel dissatisfied and regret that a mutually agreeable way forward could not be achieved. We remain confident that we acted in line with our obligations, the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 Code of Conduct, and our professional responsibilities.
We wish the owners well in resolving the outstanding repair matters going forward.
Kind regards,
The Team @ Newton

Disgraceful operation. Utter incompetence. Poor communication. No action. Central office in Glasgow were just as useless as the useless lumps in regional management.

We’re sorry to read your comments and that this has been your perception of our service.
We take feedback seriously; however, your review does not include any specific details, dates, or issues that would allow us to identify the property or investigate the concerns raised. Without this information, it is not possible to respond meaningfully to the allegations made.
Newton operates as a regulated property factor and provides services strictly in accordance with title deeds, the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011, and the Code of Conduct. Charges are raised only for services instructed or delivered, and where issues are identified, they are addressed through established procedures.
If you wish us to look into any specific matter, we would encourage you to contact us directly with relevant details so this can be reviewed properly.

One of the worst companies I have had…
One of the worst companies I have had the misfortune of dealing with (2016-2025), while living in Parklands Oval community, Glasgow.
Struggled to ever get a quarterly bill correct and in extreme cases took over 6 months to resolve.
In a community with a mixture of flats and houses, time and time again tried to get house owners to pay for things that were only relevant to flats.
No interest in imposing rules, stated in title deeds, that affected all, if too much of a bother to them!!!
Issues with ‘The Tower’ Maintenance and Lighting were ongoing for years and still not resolved when we moved out.
They are a company happy to take your money for over-inflated work, that was as little hassle to them as possible. Were continually changing Property Managers at our estate, which in itself should tell you something.
Happy to see the back of them and will ensure that I am never in the situation where I have to deal with them in future.
7/4/26:
In response to Newton’s Property ‘standard response’ to my comments.
The fact that you do not appear to know all the errors you have made over the years of managing Parklands Oval, is just testament to my thoughts on your company🙁

Good morning RM
We’re sorry to read that this was your experience and that you remain dissatisfied with aspects of our service during the period you lived at Parklands Oval.
As a regulated property factor, we take all feedback seriously. However, we note that your review does not reference specific account details, dates, or issues that would allow us to investigate or meaningfully respond to the concerns raised. Over a nine‑year period, developments, property managers, contractors, and instructions can change significantly, and context is important when reviewing historic matters.
We recognise that managing mixed developments containing both flats and houses can present complexities around cost apportionment, title conditions, and communal responsibilities. Where issues are raised, our approach is always to act in accordance with the title deeds, the Property Factors Code of Conduct, and instructions received from proprietors.
We regret that you feel unresolved issues remained at the point you moved on. If you would like us to review any specific matters, we would encourage you to contact us directly with relevant details so these can be properly considered.
We wish you all the best in your new home.
Kind regards,

Newton factored a neighbouring estate and the ground maintenance was far superior to our estate. Following a successful campaign to change factors for which Newton were very helpful and gave us advice and even helped with printing information and voting packs which was a tremendous help (many thanks to Natalie at Newton’s Glasgow office) we joined Newton Property Management in Aug 2025 and it has been a positive experience. They have an office in the outskirts of Glasgow City Centre which on first impression is fresh, bright and spacious and the staff are friendly and helpful. We were assigned a property manager to whom we can approach should any issues arise on the estate and John Mann is most approachable and will help to resolve any issues that arise. Newton appointed Kirky Kuts as our ground maintenance contractor who has made a tremendous difference. All in all a very positive move and I can recommend moving to Newtons based on our experience.

Ongoing issues unresolved for two years
I have been paying newton Inverness office for almost three years. I reported the issue that its contractor damaged my property during gutter cleaning in November 2023 with evidence submitted. The Newton staff promised in Owners Group AGM meeting in front of owners that it would be fixed by newton and its contractor. However, between November 2023 and now (end march 2026), it has not been fixed, and the third new staff has been appointed to manage our properties and working on solving it since April 2025. They missed the opportunities of fixing it in 2025 and now the damaged part around the gutter seem to be rotting. I have been giving the staff that chances to fix it. The staff emailed me that the contractor would contact me in February 2026. I waited for another month and no one (from its contractor and its office) contacted me.
When you try to find complaint procedures online, it’s not clear. There is no alternative email beyond Inverness office email to seek advice and intervention.
I emailed a few time to clarify what services I am receiving from newton by paying factor fee, and no response has been provided to clarify it.

Good morning Sophie,
Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns, and we are sorry for the frustration this situation has caused you. We recognise that the length of time taken to resolve the damage to your property is unacceptable, particularly given that the issue was reported with supporting evidence in November 2023 and assurances were given that the matter would be addressed.
We acknowledge that changes in property management personnel can cause disruption, and we regret that continuity was not maintained in this case. We are also concerned to hear that opportunities to resolve the issue were missed and that further deterioration may now have occurred.
We apologise that you were advised a contractor would contact you in February 2026 and that this did not happen, and that you did not receive timely responses to your follow‑up correspondence. This does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide.
We also note your comments regarding the lack of clarity around our complaints procedure and escalation routes. We accept that this should be clearer and more accessible, and we will review how this information is presented to ensure owners know how to seek advice or intervention when issues remain unresolved.
Regarding your query about the services provided in return for the factoring fee, we acknowledge that you should have received a clear response, and we apologise that this was not provided. This will be addressed as part of our follow‑up.
Your concerns are being escalated for review, and we will ensure that a senior member of staff oversees the matter to bring it to resolution as quickly as possible. We will contact you directly to confirm next steps and provide a clear update on the repair and any remedial actions required.
Thank you for your patience to date, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.

In short they imposed late charges for two years before I signed the contract with or even knew about their existence. (The majority vote gave them access. I’m an oversees landlord)
I've never contested the money owed for services, but I couldn’t understand a liability for late fees before a contract was signed or I knew about their existence.
I think at a minimum its a liberty and most likely a clause which they benefit from regularly. In what other context can you be charged by a company before signing a contract or agreeing terms?
Thankfully, they are no longer in the building after a majority vote to get them out, which they made as painful as possible for all involved. Overll not at all a positive experience.

Awful company
I absolutely hated Newton the entire time we lived in our previous building. Factor fees were too expensive, they were happy to take money from us and not really fix the issues in the building, would take weeks to get back to usz if ever. Awful company.
Some of the folk I dealt with on the phone were fine but I'd bet the people who run the company are criminals.

Good morning Cameron, ,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry to hear that you felt let down during your time in the building — we never want anyone to feel ignored or unsupported, and I appreciate you highlighting the areas where things didn’t meet your expectations.
It may be helpful to note that your property formed part of a large listed building with complex maintenance requirements. This often means repairs and approvals can take longer than in standard developments, and unfortunately that can impact response times and the pace of visible progress.
Regarding costs, all contractor invoices are passed directly to owners at the exact amount charged — there is no markup applied. We understand that service charges can feel high, especially in older or listed buildings, but they reflect the genuine cost of maintaining the fabric and safety of the property.
I’m glad to hear that some of the team you spoke with were helpful, and I’m sorry that your overall experience didn’t reflect the standard we aim to deliver. Your feedback is taken seriously, and it helps us continue improving how we support the developments we manage.
We wish you best wishes in your new home.
