Crofting Commission Applications

As the Government regulator, crofters and landlords will have regular dealings with the Crofting Commission.  Macleod & MacCallum can provide expert assistance with all types of regulatory procedures and applications including:-

• Decrofting – of a statutory house site, part croft or whole croft
• Assignation or letting of a tenancy – either to a family member or to an individual outwith the family
• Apportionment and related common grazings matters
• Bequest of a croft tenancy
• Procedure upon intestacy
• Division of a croft
• Exchange of croft land
• Creation of new crofts
• Subletting

A number of the applications above were significantly amended by the Crofting Reform (Scotland) Act 2007. For more information on the 2007 Act please read our Client Briefing.

Landlords and Tenants should be aware that the Crofting Reform (Scotland) Act 2010, which is not yet fully in force, makes provision for the reorganisation of the Crofting Commission. For further details relating to the 2010 Act, the changes introduced, and the provisions about to come into force, please see our Client Briefing.
