The purpose of the guidelines is to provide a mechanism for the transfer of scottish local government property to the public sector that is economical, transparent and fair. It is designed to avoid public bodies incurring unnecessary costs in relation to property that is already held within the public sector. The transferee gains the benefit of an off market transfer and the price of that benefit is the transferee's undertaking to accept the value determined. Normally the parties cannot resile from the process following agreement to adhere to the guidelines. However, exceptionally, if there are major uncertainties in the process due to structural, environmental or planning considerations the parties can agree beforehand in writing to allow one or both to resile, after making arrangements to meet the other sides abortive costs.
