The Register of Community Interests in Land (RCIL) was created after the introduction of the Right to Buy in the Part 2 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. Any interest of a community body exercising a right to buy must be registered in the RCIL

From April 2016 the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 extended the Community Right to Buy across all of Scotland.

Further from June 2018, the Register of Applications by Community Bodies to Buy Land was established and contains details of any application submitted by a community body to purchase abandoned, neglected and detrimental land or to buy land for sustainable development.

Our Property Enquiry Certificates (PECs) provide you with the answers that satisfy the UK Finance handbook requirements, such as whether the proper consents are in place for any building work carried out, if the property is located within a conservation area or affected by planning policies or proposals, or whether it’s subject to any statutory orders or notices.

PECs can be ordered in our convenient Multisearch Bundles service, saving you time, effort and money.
