Having a Land Registered title provides greater certainty about the extent of the title and the rights and burdens which affect it. The end result is a digital Title Sheet which has as one of its constituent parts, an accurate plan of the land in question: whereas titles in the historic Saines Register often have unclear - sometimes barely legible - title descriptions and sometimes no underlying title plan.
Given that it is intended that every landholding in Scotland is to be entered onto the Land Register, by choosing to voluntarily register your property now, you will be in control of the registration process.
Our team at Morton Fraser MacRoberts has a wealth of experience in handling the voluntary registration of rural titles, from individual fields and rural houses, to some of the largest and most complex landholdings in Scotland.
We view the process of voluntary registration as comprising three stages:
Planning
Meet with you and discuss your preferred means of working and conduct a review of the titles you have available. This ensures the work to be undertaken meets your bespoke requirements.
Scoping
Assess the work involved and propose a fixed fee quote for the work involved. This identifies issues at an early stage to enable a more accurate costing, as well as informing timing.
Execution
Completing a substantive examination of the title and mapping exercise and keeping you updated throughout the process all the way up to submission of the application. This ensures matters proceed in accordance with your agreed project plan and meets your objectives.
