Apply to lease (including to renew a lease)

Use this form for applications:

  • to lease property that your organisation does not currently lease, and
  • to renew an existing lease.

Please read the following before applying to lease or renew a lease of a building and/or land owned by Fife Council. Your application must be submitted at least three months before the proposed date of entry (start date for the lease). We will also need all other documents that form part of your application.

It is not a requirement; however, it is recommended that you seek legal advice and instruct a solicitor at your own cost.

If you are a community group or sports club (other than a professional club), you may be eligible to lease a Council owned property at a reduced rent. Details of subsidised leases are set out in the policy.

In managing its assets, the Council seeks to ensure that they are used to best value. This includes consideration of likely usage. When applying for a subsidised lease, groups will be asked to indicate intended weekly usage.

To apply for a subsidised lease, Timetable – occupancy template must be completed to indicate intended weekly usage.

Where only minimal usage is anticipated (under 15 hours a week), the Council will seek to investigate and will endeavour to offer alternative arrangements.
