Order online or speak to one of our Property Researchers today - 0113 297 7500 Our price: from £150.00 1st Locate services include assisting our customers find the owners of unregistered land, property and buildings in England and Wales. A search of the England or Wales Land Registry may have produced a result stating that the land or building  is unregistered and HMLR therefore holds no further information. We will undertake a detailed search and identify the current owners and provide you with a current contact address. This may involve tracing the owners to a new address or even tracing the beneficiaries or legatees in the event that the former owner has died. In Scotland, although all land is technically registered, there are many disused or derelict buildings and even land that has remained  unused for many years. Some owners may not even be aware that they still own such plots. We can quickly and efficiently trace the current owners and provide you with their contact address. The search can take from 1 - 8 weeks dependant on the options specified on your order. In some cases, this may take longer but you will be fully informed of progress. If we are successful, the fee is £150 - a small price to pay in the event that you might be able to purchase the property. If we are unsuccessful (i.e we do not identify ownership), the fee is £25 but you will be provided with a report detailing all of the steps that we have taken. A search will continue until either we successfully resolve or we cannot identify ownership or you cancel in writing. Cases cancelled will be subject to the reduced fee of £25 provided the cancellation is received in writing prior to our resolution of the case. Click here to ORDER Remember, if land or property is UNREGISTERED then there are 2 possible scenarios: 1/. The property is owned by an individual(s)/organisation but the title has never been recorded or registered with HM Land Registry. or 2/. The property is ownerless. In the vast majority of instances, the property/land is owned but the title not registered. The 1st Locate unregistered land investigation is an ideal way to identify ownership with a very high success rate of cases successfully resolved. The service is successfully used by Solicitors, Developers and private purchasers and is often the only way of identifying ownership for unregistered land or property. We believe this is a unique service and is undertaken by highly experienced Researchers using a variety of investigative techniques, research and where appropriate site visits.

Scotland - property title deeds & history  £29.99 -  

There are key differences in terms of the information held for Scottish properties.

In addition to the information held on England/Wales titles, the Register of Sasines and The Land Register hold a register of transactions (deeds of sale, mortgages, etc). Each property has it's own individual search sheet specifying transactions affecting that property. For older properties you are able to specify whether you wish to see the register of Sasines pre 1959 as well as post 1959. (this can be most useful for Genealogists or persons undertaking family history research).

The Land Register is a system of registration created to gradually replace the existing Sasine register with a timetable in place to cover all counties of Scotland by 2003. This results in a Title sheet guaranteed by the State. Generally, the title plan also forms part of the title document in Scotland.

The Land Register has 5 component parts. If you order a full Scottish land registry search you will receive the following:

A - Property section - description, title number, date of first registration, map reference

B - Proprietorship section - details of the purchase price, proprietors, their address (sometimes past and present). Notices under the Matrimonial Homes (Family Protection) (Scotland) Act 1981.

C - Charges - details of mortgages, etc often including amounts

D -Burdens - restrictions, covenants, etc

E - Title plan.

The cost for the full Scottish Land Registry search is £29.99.

Registry of Sasines Scotland

The Register of Sasines or the Sasine register is an historical register of deeds affecting land and property. A search of this register is available by name or property address and provides a history of transactions affecting individual properties. It contains all the recorded Minutes (precis of deeds) in chronological order so it can provide a history of a property, eg its owners, charges, mortgages, etc. All documents in the Register are now imaged from 1905. This document can be particularly interesting for genealogists as it will contain information about people, their addresses, what & when they owned, etc - it is possible to search just by name and county. Therefore, if you are unsure where your ancestors lived, we are able to identify just from their name and county which properties they owned and when. Earlier information is also available back to 1878 and in some cases 1617. We are happy to quote for the supply of this information prior to 1905 (please note that although all transactions since 1905 have now been converted to images, many of these 'search sheets' also contain information and transactions relating to the 19th century. i.e. if the first 1905 transaction is on a search sheet that is a continuation from the 1800's then these transactions will also be documented on the same search sheet). We are able to supply you a copy of the actual original imaged document and the current computerised search sheet. The cost for a full search of the imaged Register of Sasines  is £28.99, results being delivered by email very quickly. We are able to trace the origins of many properties in Scotland, back through all owners and transactions to the original land plot or source. The Sasines Register can be an invaluable source of Scots genealogy material providing a comprehensive history of ownership and transactions for a particular property anywhere in Scotland. It can also serve as a means of identifying actual documents, wills, conveyances, dispositions, trusts and other deeds referenced by the Sasine Register.
