I am an owner occupier crofter and I want to sell part of my croft. Is this possible?

An owner-occupier croft may not transfer or sell any part of their croft without first dividing it into the part which they propose to transfer and the part which they propose to keep. The consent of the Commission must be obtained before the division of the croft takes place. If the Commissions’ consent is not obtained, the conveyance will be null and void and you should take your own legal advice on this matter because there are significant legal consequences. Tenant crofters have always been required to obtain consent of the Commission before they divide their croft, and this remains unchanged.
