About the sasine register

Since the 1870s, properties in the sasine register have had chronological lists of deeds called search sheets.

Search sheets provide:

  • a description of the title
  • current and previous owners' names
  • all recorded deeds that affect the title
  • current and previous mortgage entries
  • the price paid for each transfer or sale of the title

We may not be able to provide you with a plan for sasine-registered titles, but we will be able to provide you with a deed that contains the best boundary description of the property or area.

We’re replacing the sasine register with the map-based Land Register of Scotland.

You can still record some deeds, including:

  • discharges of standard securities
  • improvement grants
  • guardianship orders
  • Notices of Title
