Heritable Property

TDMum

Filling in my BR forms (Scotland) and the question is

"Have you previously owned any heritable property?"

I have no idea what they mean by heritable. I've googled it but I'm still very confused. We bought a flat a few years ago, then sold it and bought another which we have since sold so we could go into BR with a clean slate as it were. Are these heritable properties? Do I need to list them?

TIA

This is what I came up with...

Heritable property (also heritage) Heritable property ("real" or "immovable") as opposed to moveable property includes only naturally immovable items such as land minerals, or any object attached to the land such as buildings. Trees, crops and other plants are only regarded as heritable when they are still growing in the soil; once they are cut down they become moveable property. Rights connected with heritable property such as servitudes or debts secured over land are also heritable.



The property would be considered a building, so yes, it would be heritable by that definition. If it was a mobile home then, no, it wouldn't be.
