Title-Deed Plan For Flat-2…
^^ Flat-2 at Tod Head Lighthouse Station ^^
This was filed at Registers of Scotland in April 2024 with ownership being properly conveyed by solicitor Paul Brown from Robert Galloway To Paul Rutherford.
In September 2024, due to a decline in Russ McLean’s Health, Paul Rutherford tried to sell his Flat-2 to David and Catherine Blunn.
But this sale to David & Catherine Blunn is now perilously close to terminal collapse because of (alleged) delays by Registers of Scotland.
Soon, the Blunn’s mortgage offer runs out on or shortly after 16th January 2025. The fault appears to lay with Registers of Scotland.
Key To Plan Above As Filed At RoS in April 2024:–
Purple Area: The First Floor Residential Flat-2.
Green Area: The Garden Owned By Flat-2.
Light Blue Area: Off Street Parking Wholly Owned & Included With Flat-2.
Orange Area: Land Over Which There Is A Right To Walk/Drive Over In Perpetuity.
Internal layout of Flat-2 for guidance…
Head title KNC6706as conveyed by Mr Robert Galloway to Russell McLean, under the exception of Ground Floor (left) Flat-1 as sold to Sylvia Kong and First Floor (left) as sold to Paul Rutherford. Both sales completed in April 2024.
The subsequent sale by Paul Rutherford to David & Catherine Blunn that was supposed to have an “Entry Date” of 11th November 2024 to the Blunns offer of 13th September 2024 has FAILD TWICE (failed on 11-11-2024 an failed on 11th December 2024) and now, in January, the MORTGAGE OFFER is about to EXPIRE. It needs to be emphasised to REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND that the BACKLOG of 119,000 cases is going to collapse this sale to the Blunns.
Also this is exposing the seller to another stroke as the Registers of Scotland have caused this…

8]. Property EPC Certification: Here is a copy of the statutory EPC Certification relating to Flat-2 at Tod Head lighthouse Station…
Click Here.
9a]. Roof Repair Work – This segment is very important as it formed a conditional clause of the original Scottish Legal Form Offer from the Buyer to the Seller.
However, the price of Flat-2 has been discounted to an “as is” basis and this clause must be held as DELETED for the purchase to progress.
But it would be unfair on the Buyer if a firm and definitive amount were not placed on this cost PRIOR to proceeding with a sale/purchase of Flat-2. Plus an indication of the credentials of those undertaking the work and examples of very similar roof and lighthouse renovation work that has already been completed by this team.

9b]. External and Communal Wall Painting – With respect to preparation and painting of the exterior walls and elevations at Tod Head Lighthouse Station, the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) returned a favour when we assisted them with (provision of accommodation and working H&S welfare unit) at Noss Head. Lighthouse Station.
One of many assistances the NLB provided was a TRADE ONLY account (for our company) at their bespoke paint manufacturers.
Based on similar buildings are NLB crew have completed, the cost of this paintwork, pro rata for Flat-2 is £633. The paint is a special (Forth Rail Bridge) type of specialist covering “system” and as with the Forth Rail Bridge, the Northern Lighthouse Board paint is flexible, forgiving, robust and breathable. It generally last 8 year (depending how wild the weather is and some annual maintenance). It should be mentioned that the Northern Lighthouse Paint is white, whereas the Forth Rail Bridge is red!
10a]. Owner’s Planning Permission “Letter of Comfort”: Due to the overall site owner (with the exception of Flat-1 an Flat-2) and likely requirement he is to undergo further spinal surgery, there is a distinct possibility of him needing to apply for Planning permission to demolish THREE of the dilapidated outbuildings and newbuild a single story dwelling on a separate spot currently occupied by the dilapidated outbuilding.
Consequently, it will be a condition of acceptance of the purchase of Flat-2 that the new owner guarantees there will be no objection lodged against this newbuild. A pro forma letter to this effect shall be provided by the Seller’s solicitor to the Buyer’s solicitor.
PRIOR to the “Conclusion of Missives, the disabled owner is providing the pre-planning drawings for the Buyer of Flat-2 to examine so that they can study those plans. This should ensure the sale/purchase process of Flat-2 is open and transparent. Indeed, tin such an event, the preferred Buyers of Flat-2 may find that a spare office/consulting room becomes available to their business.
