Long Leases (Scotland) Act 2012

2012 asp 9

Part 2: Conversion of Certain Leasehold Conditions to Real Burdens

Determination of “qualifying conditions”

Section 11: Restriction on conversion of qualifying conditions

57.The effect of this section is that a condition which becomes a qualifying condition must comply with section 3 of the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003 for it to be validly converted into a real burden. Section 3 of the 2003 Act provides rules as to the content of a real burden. It must, for instance, relate directly or indirectly to the burdened property and it must not be contrary to public policy.

58.Section 3(5) of the 2003 Act which prohibits the creation of new rights of redemption is excluded as it would otherwise prevent the conversion of a qualifying condition having the effect of a redemption or reversion.
