Property Details

The crofts of East Hogaland (registered with the Crofting Commission under Register of Crofts No Z0818 and Z0819) are situated in East Burra. The crofts extend in total to approximately 5.5 hectares (approximately 13.5 acres). Each croft has one share in the Burra Isles Common Grazings and the total annual rent currently paid is £31. No dwelling house is included in the sale.

Offers are invited over £34,000 for both crofts

As these are registered crofts, they are subject to the crofting regulations and assignations of the croft tenancies will be required. They are not mortgageable and therefore only cash offers can be considered. The assignation of the tenancies will require the approval of the Crofting Commission.

Prospective purchasers looking for more information about this should speak to their own solicitor, or contact the Crofting Commission at 4 Great Glen House, Leachkin Road, Inverness IV3 8NW.
