The content of the information

GENERAL ISSUES:

The Sasine Register is a register of deeds. Customers can search using names or addresses to find deeds that may be relevant to them. Customers can order copies of the deeds in question and can also view the Search Sheet (a chronological record of every deed that affects a given property). This can make it easier to determine who the current owner is and allows access to information about previous owners, mortgages and other transactions.

The Land Register is a register of rights in land. Customers can search using names or addresses to find the details of titles and pending applications for new registrations. The Land Register is gradually replacing the Sasine Register and it is expected that this process will be completed by 2024.
