Scottish properties sold post-2001 - title plans online

Registers of Scotland have a new system online, but still in Beta test, with comments invited; ScotLIS, or Scotland's Land Information Service.

https://scotlis.ros.gov.uk/

Search by address or postcode, and it shows sales since around 2001.

Click on a particular property, and in addition to some basic info, it shows the title plan for the property.

I've not cracked the colour coding system, there's nothing to explain it on the site, but it seems to have colour coding for the primary property title, shared driveways/accesses, communally-owned land, and possibly a host of other things.

    The colours aren't consistent - they're what is used in the individual title - so could mean anything really. You get the relevant property description (for free) if you sign in as a business user but I think the public would have to pay for a copy of the title. Also worth bearing in mind that the red outline doesn't necessarily mean the title includes everything within it e.g. tenement flats will tend to have a red outline around the whole block/garden with the property described as "the first floor westmost flat within the property outlined in red" etc.

    That looks a step in the right direction.

    I've checked my DM's address - tenement flat, eight flats in the close, hardly any showing the extra bit (1/l, 3/r etc) so it's very hard to tell which is which.

    A couple of years ago I bought a copy of her flat details from the sasine register. From new (1900?) the whole building had only one title so I got the lot. It wasn't until approx 1970s (?) that each flat got its own title and information about the other flats not given to me. I'm not at home just now so the dates are just guesses.
