Scotland – Mapped By (Title) Numbers

The Scottish Government is aiming to complete the Land Register of Scotland so that all Scottish property is mapped on the digital register by 2024.

Properties which are currently recorded in the General Register of Sasines (which recently marked its 400^th birthday) generally only move onto the Land Register when the property is part of a registerable transaction (ie on completion of a sale or the grant of a security over the property). Because of this, most properties which were purchased pre-1990 (and some later) are still recorded in the old Sasines Register.

In an effort to speed up this process, Registers of Scotland are offering owners of commercial property advice and guidance on voluntarily transferring property to the Land Register.
