Factor Fees
Factor fees are paid to maintain the development common areas as noted in property deeds your solicitor will have discussed with you upon purchase. As a resident you have a responsibility to maintain these - not the council. The council does not own the communal ground of Countesswells.
Common areas include communal green areas, planting and beds, the orchard and play park etc. and any other future whole community infrastructure.
These niceties are what sets communities like Countesswells apart and differentiates the type of lifestyle living here affords. When purchasing a home here you also take on a responsibility within the wider community.
