What information do we hold?

REGISTER OF SASINES

A register (dating back to 1617) of transactions (deeds of sale, mortgages, etc) relating to land. The Minute Book contains details of individual Search Sheet showing historic transactions affecting that property. The Minute Book contains details of individual transactions in chronological order and shows the parties, description of property, date of registration and price. A file of pending applications can be viewed in the Presentment Book.

The Sasine register has been computerised since 1993 with all the search sheets imaged back to 1905 - over 9 million pages in total. Now in digital form, data is accessible by searching against name, property address, minute detail and with an added facility of displaying map levels to identify county areas significantly enhancing the information search process.

LAND REGISTER

A system of registration established by the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 to replace the Sasine Register. The Land Register is now in operation throughout the whole of Scotland. This is a map-based system resulting in the creation of a Title Sheet guaranteed by the state. The user has the facility of viewing any one of the four Title Sheet sections, and can also view the Title Plan for any particular property. Various facilities exist for county selection by text drop-down list or zooming into the plan map to identify detail of the property and immediate surrounding area.

REGISTER OF INHIBITIONS & ADJUDICATIONS

This register provides a facility for the registration of a variety of court orders and other legal documents which affect persons (individual, firm, company) and their ability to grant deeds relating to land and for that reason is referred to as the Personal Register. Court orders may arise from bankruptcy proceedings or actions by creditors to protect their interests in land belonging to their debtors. A bank, finance house, mortgage company, or credit-checking organisations may be typical users of this information. The user has the ability to search in singular or batch mode for inhibitions or adjudications with full minute detail being supplied after search.

REGISTER OF DEEDS / BOOKS OF COUNCIL AND SESSION

This may be described as a safe deposit for important legal documents that may be lost if left in private hands. Every deed is registered for preservation and retained and an official copy known as an Extract is issued which is equivalent to the deed itself. Within a few days of registration, the original deed is passed to the Scottish Record Office (SRO) and cannot be removed except by Court order. Typical information returned from a deeds search would be the number, type, party details, number of pages and presentment information and lease details if applicable.

REGISTER OF JUDGMENTS

This relates to judgments passed in England, Ireland and the European Union (and other reciprocating countries) against an individual resident in Scotland. Details extracted from the register are: judgment number, defendant/pursuer information, country of origin and the date that the judgment was presented.

COPY DEEDS

A host of documents can be ordered online: copy deeds (both evidential and informal), application forms and colour copies. The user can also submit complaints and feedback forms online.

REGISTER OF COMMUNITY INTERESTS IN LAND

This new register came into force on 14 June 2004. The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 Part 2 required that the Keeper should set up and keep a Register of Community Bodies Interests in Land.
