What to check next

  1. Confirm the asking/guide price and the price per acre with the agent.
  2. Check title, boundaries and access (ransom strips, servitudes) on ScotLIS / Registers of Scotland.
  3. Ask the local council planning service about residential/croft potential and any lapsed permissions.
  4. Confirm a water supply and a compliant septic discharge (SEPA general binding rules) are possible.
  5. Visit in person — ground conditions, drainage, exposure and access change everything.
