Registrable Deeds, Deed Codes, Amending Deed Types, Fees and eFin Categories

General

This page provides a list of the known registrable deeds, their authorising enactments and the feeing arrangements under the Registers of Scotland Fees Order 2014. For guidance on applications where the deed or document submitted for registration does not appear on this list, see Requirements of Registrable Deeds.

The list below is not exhaustive and there may be deeds in other enactments that have not been identified, for example a private or local act.

This list does not include applications to the Land Register which do not relate to registrable deeds, such as advance notices or caveats. 

Rejections for deed not being a registrable deed

A registration officer should not reject an application merely because the deed submitted for registration does not appear on the list of known registrable deeds on this page or does not have a deed code allocated in RoS systems. They should consider the guidance at Requirements of Registrable Deeds and if the deed is not referred to on that page, refer their application to a senior caseworker.

For amending deed types please see the information at the bottom of this page.

eFin categorisation

The eFinancials system (eFin) requires that when creating the finance record (the UID) for a particular application, the registration officer categorises that application type into one of three, A, B and C. The A Category is mainly for conveyances, such as disposition, contract of excambion, lease and assignation of lease as well as for an application for voluntary registration. Category B is for most other deed types or application types, the most common of which are heritable securities and discharges or deeds of restriction of heritable securities. Category C will now be used for voluntary registrations, and for advance notices, discharges of advance notices or more rarely for a registrable deed, Receipt under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 which has no fee for registration.
