Pre-Registration Enquiries Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-Registration Enquiries Section has drawn up a list of the most frequently asked questions by solicitors. It is stressed, however, that the answers merely give an indication of the Keeper's requirements in general terms. For further information, you may refer to the new edition of the Registration of Title Practice Book [Second edition 2000, published by Registers of Scotland Executive Agency], which is available at http://www.ros.gov.uk/rotbook. For the evidence that the Keeper may require in a particular case (be that an application for a first registration or a subsequent dealing with a registered title), you may wish to contact the Keeper’s Pre-Registration Enquiries Section on 0845 607 0163 or by Fax on 0131 479 3675. Alternatively, particularly if the matter is complex, you may prefer to write to Pre-Registration Enquiries, enclosing copies of all of the relevant documentation, at DX 550907, Edinburgh 9.
