Property Market Report 2023-2024

The Registers of Scotland (RoS) Property Market Report 2023-24 has been published.

This annual report was compiled using data collected as part of the statutory land registration process, making RoS the original and trusted source for this type of information.

It includes over 20 years of public data which offers a unique insight into property market trends.

The report covers the whole of Scotland for all types of property sales, includes actual sale prices, not just valuations, and offers comprehensive and accurate data about the residential and non-residential markets.

Among its key findings are that while median prices increased in the last two decades, from £75,000 in 2003-04 to £185,000 in 2023-24, sales volumes have decreased by 33% during the same period.

Over the last year, East Lothian had the highest median price of all local authorities, at £283,227. Inverclyde had the lowest median house price in 2023-24, at £107,108.

New Register of Community Interests in Land (RCIL) portal for Agricultural tenancies

The new Register of Community Interests in Land (RCIL) portal for Agricultural tenancies is now live. The new portal will allow customers to make a submission and search the register, providing a more accessible, secure, and user-friendly service.

If you have any queries, please contact customerservices@ros.gov.uk

Embedded Title Sheets pilot extended

RoS' main priority is to clear our open casework. To help us process cases more quickly, we have extended our Embedded Title Sheets (ETS) pilot.

The pilot is exploring a different way to present a small number of our Transfer of Part (TP) title sheets.

The extension means that for some TPs, you may continue to see examples of ETS titles, either as title sheet extracts provided on completion of an application, or on ScotLIS.
