In 2022, Argyll and Bute Council brought the ex-post office in Kirn, Dunoon to the attention of the KLTR. The OPTS process was followed with a Scottish Government public body trawl being circulated with no interest noted, nor was there any interest from the Local Authority.
While, the KLTR was considering taking this property to auction, as there was no local interest in ownership and the disclaimer deadline was approaching, the previous owners of the dissolved company intimated that they intended to restore the company.
Following further discussions, the KLTR disclaimed the property. As anticipated, Kirn Properties (Dunoon) Limited was restored within the 6-year restoration period with the property being returned to their ownership. This shows that not all case taken down the OPTS route will result in either transfer or disposal.
