Frequently asked questions.

Q. How do I know which product to order - Scottish Land Register search or Sasines Register.

A. Dependant on where the property is and when it last sold, will dictate where the title information is held. If you order a Scottish Land Register search, this will default to the Sasine title if the title is not present on the Land Register.

Q. Can you provide me with a listing of property interests by a persons name.

A. Yes, we are able to provide a list of current and former property and land interests by a persons name across Scotland.

Q. Is any of the information you research suitable for genealogical studies.

A. Yes, we can tell you where a person lived, what they owned, their profession, etc. right back to the 18th Century if needs be. We can also supply copies of the original conveyances - dispositions, excambions, etc providing even more detail and often including the persons signature and details of their legal representation.

Q. My property title is not on the Land Register. I have no plan and scant details of the title, can you help?

A. Yes, we are often able to identify and obtain early title plans and provide more details relating to the title of a particular property.

Q. I sold my property many years ago but would like a copy of the contract of sale. Can you help.

A. Yes, we can provide you with a copy of the contract of sale or other type of transfer for any property in Scotland even if the transfer occurred many years previously.

Q. My property has very early origins, I would like to now the history.

A. We can trace the property back as far as records go. Even prior to the current property having been constructed. We can tell you the origins and history of the land or site, who has owned, what has been built on the site, how much was paid, what the property sold for over the years and what borrowing took place.
