What does a Scottish Title Sheet show?

A Scottish Title Sheet (Title Register) is the main written record for a property registered in the Land Register of Scotland.

It normally includes the title number, property description, ownership details, securities, rights, burdens and other matters affecting the registered title.

The Title Sheet is usually divided into sections. These may include details of the property, the proprietor, charges such as mortgages, and burdens such as rights, conditions, restrictions or obligations affecting the land.

Does the Title Sheet show the property boundary?

The written Title Sheet should be read together with the Title Plan. The Title Plan shows the general extent of the registered property on the map, while the Title Sheet contains the written legal information affecting the title.

Does the Title Sheet show old ownership history?

Usually, the Title Sheet shows the current registered position rather than a full historical ownership chain. If you need older ownership information,  old deed or a Sasine Register search may be required.

Can the Title Sheet contain rights and burdens?

Yes. The Title Sheet may refer to rights of access, servitude rights, real burdens, reservations, conditions and other title matters. Some entries may refer to older deeds, which may need to be ordered separately if the full wording is required.
