PRE REGISTRATION ENQUIRIES

Since the inception of Land Registration, we have given guidance to solicitors before submitting applications for registration. Guidance can include views on defects in title, possible exclusions of indemnity, remedial conveyancing, or additional evidence that may be required in a given case. Requests for guidance on matters like these are normally handled by the Pre-Registration Enquiries Section, located at our main office in Edinburgh. The service is free of charge, as it saves both us and the applicant time when the application for registration is made.

(Some pointers for solicitors referring enquiries to the Pre-Registration Enquiries Section Tel: 0845 607 0163 or by Fax on 0131 479 3675):
