In only one case will the Keeper give effect to a deed which is not accompanied by the appropriate application form. That is where on a sale an existing heritable security is being discharged and the discharge is submitted along with the application for registration of the purchaser’s interest. In the latter  case  a  fixed  registration  fee  applies.  (Fees  payable  in  respect  of  registration  of  title  are determined from time to time by the First Minister. Details of the ‘fixed fee’ can be found in the current ‘Fees in the Registers of Scotland Order’). First registration - Form 1 5.3  Application  for  first  registration  should  be  made  on  Form  1.  This  form  is  similar  in  layout  and content to the application Forms 2 and 3, but in addition contains two further Schedules; one for heritable securities and one for burdens. In listing outstanding heritable securities or burdens, there is no need to list the relative deeds using a standard conveyancing reference, or to set the burdens out at length. It is quite sufficient to refer to the writs by reference to their number on the Form 4 that must be submitted along with the application. For example, the Schedules of the Form 1 submitted for the transaction illustrated in paragraph 5.5 would be completed as follows: Schedule of heritable securities etc. 1. Standard security No. 5 of Form 4 Note that No. 9 of Form 4 should not be listed as it is not an outstanding standard security; it has yet to be registered. Schedule of burdens 1.   Instrument of sasine No. 1 of Form 4. 2.   Feu charter No. 2 of Form 4. 3.   Feu disposition No. 3 of Form 4. Form  1 is appropriate for any first  registration of an unregistered interest and must be used whether the application  follows  one  of  the  transactions  listed  in  section  2(1)(a)  or  is  an  application  for  voluntary registration under either section 2(1)(b) or section 11(1). If an application for first registration is accompanied by a new heritable security or any dealing other than those mentioned in paragraph 5.5 a separate application for registration of the security or other dealing must be made on the appropriate form, either Form 2 or Form 3. Interest already registered - Forms 2 and 3 5.4 There are two forms for use where the transaction for which registration is sought relates to an interest which has already been registered. Form 2 should be used where the application will vary or amend an existing title sheet. Form 3 should be used where the application will require the opening of a new title sheet.
