Hi does anyone out there know anything about land and the scottish law, we have lived in our house for nearly 15 years, when we bought it the previous owner rented part of our drive from the council for a fee of £100 per , we paid the 1st years £100 rent and have never been billed for it again so we have`nt chased it, we are now thinking of asking the council if we could buy the land from them so my questions are will we have to pay the back rent when they have never billed us for it and does anyone now if the council will sell us the land, as its been suggested to my husband that the council dont sell land which i find hard to believe.
Hope someone out there can help us many thanks.

I have asked colleagues and you should really contact Council about rent immediately , they do have a right to ask for it and have it back dated. But sometimes LA don't like to appear heavy handed.
