The Title Register (Title Sheet) is one of the 2 main documents of title. It contains a description of the property, its tenure, the name and address of the owners, purchase price, name & address of mortgagee and details of other burdens, charges, covenants, rights, cautions, notices and restrictions.
The Title Plan is the other main document of title. It shows a detailed outline of the property in relation to its surroundings, and often (especially with larger properties) has detailed and coloured markings referred to in the Title Register that illustrate rights of way, rights of access, watercourses and sections of land affected by rights and covenants. The general boundaries of the property itself are edged in red.
Where the property is not registered we instead obtain a copy of the Sasine Register and Cadastral Map, which provide similar detail to the above.
It is possible to order Title Registers and Title Plans for up to 20 different properties on one form from our web site, attracting a substantial discount from our standard fee.
(e.g. For Land, Fields, Woods, Derelict or Vacant Properties, Lanes, Alleyways)
This is a specialised search where no readily available method of identifying the property by its address or registered number is available, and may take up to 5 days to complete.

This search is the recommended search for anyone requiring information relating to either public or private rights of way affecting their property or adjoining property. Public rights of way are detailed in the information guide accompanying the search, and private rights of way (servitudes) are detailed in the Land Registry documents affecting the properties concerned. The property over which a right of way is exercised is known as the servient tenement and the property having the benefit of that right is known as the dominant tenement.

Registration of Title in Scotland can take up to 2 years.

In Scotland Salmon Fishing Rights may be held under separate Land Registry Titles to the land itself and include the right to fish for trout and other freshwater fish.
Salmon Fishing Rights which have been granted by Deed or where it can be shown that a right to Prescriptive Possession, unchallenged, for a period of at least 20 years can be registered with the Registrars of Scotland as legal Interests in land (Sections 2(2) and 28(1) Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979). If the property is not already registered then such legal interests will instead be registered in the Register of Sasines. Once registered they have their own Title Register, quite distinct from the Title Register of the land over which these interests arise. There may be more than one such Interest registered against a parcel of land.
Trout and other fishing rights (other than salmon) cannot be registered with their own Land Registry Titles, as such rights are considered to run with the land.
This search is carried out in 2 parts; the first to identify the number of Titles (land ownerships) in a particular area and their Title Numbers, and the second to obtain Title Registers and Title Plans for whichever of those Titles is selected. Typically, the area involved is for 1-10 acres, although a search for a larger areas can be made. Customers should use our SC1b search for smaller areas.
Using our multi-forms can save you a lot of time and trouble. These forms allow you to search for up to 20 properties all on one form. Multiple search forms are available for our most popular products.
