Progress on land register completion by local authority.
The table shows land register completion progress by local authority. This is broken down by:
- land that is in the land register
- casework currently in progress at Registers of Scotland
- data that we have unlocked through Unlocking Sasines
Levels of land register completion vary across Scotland. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as:
- the land register was introduced in stages over a number of years. This means not all areas in Scotland entered the register at the same time
- different parts of the country will have different types of property stock. For example, social housing or large rural estates. Property of this type is unlikely to change hands on a regular basis
- property market forces impact differently across the country
