This Practice Note examines the enforcement of standard security over heritable property in Scotland. Legal framework The regime governing enforcement of standard securities sits in, and is derived from, Part II of the Conveyancing and Feudal Reform (Scotland) Act 1970 (CFR(S)A 1970). The statutory framework originally set out in the CFR(S)A 1970 has been significantly modified for securities over properties used for residential purposes, principally by the following: Mortgage Rights (Scotland) Act 2001, and Home Owner and Debtor Protection (Scotland) Act 2010 When considering enforcement of any standard security, the reference point is the security instrument itself and, in particular, the operation and application of the ‘Standard Conditions’ contained in CFR(S)A 1970, Sch 3. From an enforcement standpoint, normally the key Standard Conditions to note in practice are: Standard Condition 9—which defines the circumstances in which a debtor is to be treated as being in default, and Standard Condition 10—which describes the creditor’s suite of rights once...

Role The role of credit rating agents (CRAs) is to deliver an independent, analytical view of the likelihood of payment default, by assessing multiple factors that guide investors on whether to commit to specific securities. Capital market investors are highly sensitive to risk, and some are constrained by their internal constitutional documents from investing in lower grade instruments. As a rule, the greater the investment risk, the higher the return (interest/coupon) demanded by investors. Ratings may apply to both the company issuing the instruments and the instruments themselves. An issuer’s debt can be rated apart from the issuer, for example where the issuer is a special purpose vehicle created solely for the issuance, or where the debt benefits from credit enhancements (eg a guarantee) that lift it above the issuer’s own standing rating. For example, the following can be rated: the issuer senior debt/syndicated loans medium term notes (MTNs) commercial paper (CP) fixed income securities sovereign debt residential mortgage...
