Proposal for ownerless properties that have fallen to the Crown to be transferred to communities across Scotland unveiled today.

Under the plans, ownerless properties can be sold for a nominal sum to key public sector partners for community use.

The King’s and Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer (KLTR) launched a consultation on proposals for an Ownerless Property Transfer Scheme (OPTS) with the goal of creating opportunities for ownerless land and buildings to be transformed into facilities for public benefit.

The closing date for responses to the consultation is Friday, December 16, 2022.
