Answers
Frequently asked questions
01How long does a handover from our current agent take?
Typically 30 to 60 days from resolution. We reconcile trust balances and arrears before we take over billing.
02Do trustees keep control of spending?
Yes. Mandate limits are agreed in the SLA, and anything above the limit requires written trustee approval.
03How are disputes with owners handled?
Internally first, in line with the conduct rules. Where that fails, we prepare and lodge the CSOS application on the scheme's behalf.
