Day 1 - Examining The Advance Notice Application - Sasine Advance Notices

Process Steps

Additional Information

1.1 Separate the advance notices into counties.

1.2 Ensure the advance notice form is completed in full and signed and dated.

1.2.1 The advance notice must state that a person intends to grant a deed to another person.

1.2.2 The advance notice must include the name and designation of both persons.

1.2.3 The advance notice must describe the type of intended deed (e.g. disposition or standard security).

 

If any of the mandatory fields on the application form have not been completed, or if the the form has not been signed or if any manual amendments have been made to the printed form then, once the remaining relevant examination steps are completed the application must be rejected.

1.3 Check that the advance notice has a valid property description.

1.3.1 A description of the subjects should be provided by reference to a previously recorded sasine deed(s).

1.3.2 In addition to the description, the full postal address of the plot including the postcode should be provided if available.

1.3.3 Where the plot forms part of a sasine deed, a plan must be attached which clearly identifies the boundaries of the plot.

 

If (i) the plot cannot be identified by reference to a previously recorded sasine deed(s), and (ii) for an application over part if no plan is attached or the boundaries are not clearly delineated on the plan then, once the remaining relevant examination steps are completed, the application must be rejected.

The Register of Sasines consists of a fixed set of land-based counties, which do not include seabed, and deeds relating to seabed will almost certainly be granted by the Crown without a prior recorded title. In these circumstances it won't be possible for the advance notice to meet the requirement of identifying the plot by reference to a previously recorded sasine deed. Any advance notice relating to seabed should be referred to the advance notice referral officer for possible rejection.
