A green lease is a type of lease with additional clauses that provide for the management and improvement of environmental and social performance of a building by both owner and occupier.
Registers of Scotland have introduced a new Land Register – the Register of Persons Holding a Controlled Interest in Land (or the “RCI”) – which went live on the 1 April 2022. This is an additional register, sitting alongside the Register of Sasines (which is being phased out) and the Land Register of Scotland, with the aim of identifying those individuals, who cannot be identified through the existing land registers, who have a “significant influence or control” over the named owner or long tenant (20+ years) of the land or property in question. The aim of the RCI is to improve transparency in who actually owns or tenants Scottish land.
What are Heat Networks
Picture a ‘Film Noir’ setting. We’re in New York, a distant siren blares. The shadowy street is illuminated by passing vehicles, revealing a solitary figure, concealed by plumes of steam rising from sidewalk grates. In considering such a scene, one may wonder why it is that Scotland’s streets have never featured these columns of hot vapour. But that Hollywood look may start to be a common sight in Scottish towns as a result of recent Holyrood legislation, coming in the form of the Heat Networks (Scotland) Act 2021 (“the Act”).
