Dealing
The term used to describe an application for registration of any type of registrable deed affecting an existing title sheet which does not require the creation of either a new cadastral unit or a new title sheet.
In contrast, a disposition by a registered proprietor of only part of the subjects in a title sheet is described in Registers of Scotland as a transfer of part because the creation of a new cadastral unit and a new title sheet are required, as well as changes to the title sheet and cadastral unit from which the part is being sold.
First Registration
The term used to describe the application by which a plot of land is first registered. A first registration of a plot of land will result in the creation of a cadastral unit on the cadastral map and a title sheet. First registration typically results when a disposition of an unregistered plot of land is granted or a notice of title is done.
See also Automatic Plot Registration and Voluntary Registration for two types of First Registration other than registration of a disposition or notice of title.
Transfer of Part
The term used to describe an application which requires the creation of a cadastral unit and new title sheet where the land (or the lease) is already registered:
(1) when a proprietor acquires only part of a plot of registered land e.g. by disposition (which affects the cadastral unit), or
(2) upon a grant of a lease or sublease (where there is a lease title sheet for the head lease) in which case a new lease title sheet is required (which has no effect on the cadastral unit for the relative plot of land).

Advance Notice
The term used to describe a notice entered onto the Land Register application record or into the General Register of Sasines to make public a person's intent to grant a deed to another person. When such a notice is entered in the application record or, as the case may be recorded in the Register of Sasines, it has effect for a period of 35 days known as the "protected period".
Sasines
Some Advance Notices (those in relation to a plot of land which is, as yet, unregistered) must be recorded in the General Register of Sasines.
