Whenever possible, the address gazetteer should be used to index the property being registered.

Although the deed is the main source of information regarding the address of the property being registered, the application form may also contain additional address information that will help in getting a match with a gazetteer entry - see Addressing guidance page for more help with getting a match in the gazetteer.

Each property in Scotland has been allocated an Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN). This includes all flatted properties, with each flat having its own individual UPRN – care should be taken as the tenement steading will also have its own UPRN.
