(2)That consideration shall, subject to subsections (3) and (4) below, be paid not later than the “final settlement date”, being the date on which expires a 6 month period beginning with the date (the “consent date”) when Ministers consented to the application under section 73 above to buy the land [F2, the tenant's interest or the sporting] interests.

(3)Where—

(a)[F3the crofting community body and, as the case may be, the owner, the tenant or the person entitled to the sporting interests] so agree, the consideration may be paid on a date later than the final settlement date;

(b)the assessment of the valuation of the land [F4, the tenant's right or the sporting] interests under section 88 below has not been completed by a date 4 months after the consent date, the consideration shall be paid not later than 2 months after the date when that assessment is completed;

(c)that valuation is the subject of an appeal which has not been determined within 4 months of the consent date, the consideration shall be paid not later than 2 months after the date of that determination.

[F9(7A)Where such a security also burdens a tenant's interest other than the tenant's interest assigned to the crofting community body, the security shall not, by virtue of subsection (6) above, cease to burden that other interest.]
