To ask the Scottish Government what the timescale is for the completion of the work by the Scottish Law Commission regarding tenement law reform; in the event that it is not achieved before May 2026, how early in the next parliamentary session it expects to be in a position to introduce legislation resulting from this, and whether the reforms will include consideration of mandatory block insurance.
The Scottish Law Commission (SLC) agreed to carry out a law reform project to examine whether compulsory owners’ associations for tenement properties could be established and if so what changes in the law may be required.
The SLC is expected to provide the Scottish Government with a Report and draft Bill for consideration in Spring 2026.
Following receipt of SLC Report and draft Bill, the Scottish Government will take the time required to fully consider an appropriate way forward.
