The following response is being provided for the benefit of the Seller and can only be relied upon by the Seller and may not be relied upon by any third parties who should take their own legal advice.

The Companies Act 2006 (section 1012) states that when a tenant company is dissolved, its interests, including any interest in leasehold property, falls to the Crown as those interests become ownerless property. In Scotland, the Crown is represented by the KLTR (King''s and Lord Treasurer''s Remembrancer).

The KLTR must be given an opportunity to decide whether it wants to retain the leasehold property or reject (disclaim) it. In most instances, the KLTR disclaims the property. Once the KLTR has disclaimed the lease and issued a Notice of Disclaimer, or the lease has been irritated with the KLTR as the tenant, the lease is terminated. The effect of the Notice of Disclaimer is that the now dissolved company''s interests as tenant in the property are terminated. The Notice will be published in the Edinburgh Gazette
