our services represent the best value for money possible.

Deliver our core registration and information business accurately, efficiently, effectively, economically and timeously.
Increase Land Register coverage.
Develop our registration and information services in ways that will enable us to   fulfil our purpose.
Realise business benefits from continuous improvement and innovation.

OUR GOALS FOR 2008-2009

Scottish Ministers have set a financial goal for 2008-2009.  This is:

To achieve a return of 10% on net capital employed over the three-year period ending 31 March 2009.

As milestones towards meeting the longer term objectives for continuing performance, the Keeper has set the following goals for 2008-2009, which have been endorsed by Scottish Ministers.

To reduce the standard production cost index by 1% for the three years ending 31 March 2009 compared with the three-year performance to 31 March 2008.
Where it is in the Keeper’s power and is legally appropriate, to complete the recording and registration of:
   

80% of Sasine writs within 20 working days; with the remainder to be completed within 40 working days;

   

60% of Dealings with Whole within 30 working days; with the remainder to be completed within 100 working days; and

   

70% of standard First Registration applications within 70 working days.

As milestones in our three-year strategy to deal with older, complex casework, where it is in the Keeper’s power to do so and is legally appropriate, to:
   

complete registration of 25,000 Transfers of Part cases, along with their consequential Dealings with Whole; and

   

eliminate all pre-January 2006 First Registration casework.

To achieve a registration accuracy rate of at least 98.5 % for applications despatched during the previous 12 months.
To continue to operate at Charter Mark standards by:
   

achieving a 98% rating for overall customer care in the annual customer satisfaction survey; and

   

processing 98% of all customer enquiries in compliance with RoS’s published response standards.
