Style of plans reference

Although the examples given below all refer to the tenement steading cadastral unit as having been edged red on the cadastral map, if the plans settler has decided it is more appropriate to use a tint reference for the tenement steading cadastral unit, this should incorporated into the property section. For example, "Subjects part of cadastral unit STG421356 tinted pink on the cadastral map being...."

Types of tenement block reference

  • If the description in the deed refers to a property being on, for example, " the first floor above ground floor" or "the second floor above the street or ground floor", then this description should be carried forward into the description used in the property section - see 1.1, 1.6, 2.1 and 2.6, below, for examples of this.


  • Where the description in the deed does not give the postal numbers or address of the tenement of which the flat or unit forms part, the plans settler should check the application form and also consider the numbering on the OS map to see if it is obvious what the tenement address is. If it is obvious, then this can be used in the property description; if it is not clear or there is doubt over the numbering, then the tenement should not be referred to in the A Property section - see 1.10 and 1.11, below, for examples of this. In particular, whilst the phrase "...of the tenement of which it forms part..." is acceptable for use when the legal settler edits a burdens deed in the burdens section, it should not be used in the property description in the property section.


  • In some instances, a plans reference is provided on the deed plan for the block (sometimes this is referred to as the solum of the block). If the deed makes use of this block reference as part of the description of the property, then a plans reference should be provided and the property section in the title sheet should follow a similar style. This block reference may not be essential for the property description, but its inclusion means a fuller property description is provided, and the legal settler will normally need to refer to this for rights or burdens in the title sheet. See 1.12 and 5.2 for examples of this.

A useful quick reference table (or crib sheet) has been developed by one of our plans colleagues and is shared here - it covers the most commonly seen tenement block styles and can be used in conjunction with the examples, below.

 Quick reference table


Suffix field

The suffix field of the property section must always contain some text, otherwise the LRS will not permit the application to be completed & despatched - this is a built-in safety measure to make sure no title sheet is accidentally completed with a missing property section. In the very rare occasion where both (1) there is no "together with...." text being added after the property description; and (2) the agreed style of property description does not add text to the suffix field (for example, tenement examples 1.1 & 2.1), it will be necessary to amend the property description to include text in the suffix box. Refer to a referral officer for guidance on how to amend the description. Please note, adding only a full stop to the suffix box is not sufficient and causes problems for various reports run on the LRS.

3. Tenement steading parent title with schedule of removals

 Examples

Tenement steading parent titles are set up by creating an internal TP to remove the whole tenement steading from the development parent title, and setting it up as the title sheet for the tenement steading. All TP applications for flats will be removed from the tenement steading title sheet by entering them on a schedule of removals in the tenement steading title sheet. Any previous (1979 Act) removals of flats will added to the schedule of removals when the tenement steading parent title is being set up.

4. Flat described as tenement under exception

 Examples

It is not uncommon to encounter conveyances of the last flat sold from a tenement which describe the subjects being sold as being the whole tenement steading under exception of the parts (shops, flats, etc.) previously sold. This style of description is often used, rather than using a positive description of the last flat & its pertinents in the extent deed, because it ensures that the original seller is not inadvertently left with the responsibility for any part of the tenement which may have been overlooked. The property description in the title sheet must reflect the terms of the deed(s).

In split villa scenarios, we do occasionally  encounter blocks that comprise two or more named properties rather than numbered properties. See example 4.4.

Another variation is a property being described as a part of the tenement steading cadastral unit under exception of the parts (shops, flats, garage, etc.) previously sold. See example 4.3.

Examples of hybrid descriptions (under exception description plus a positive description) are given at 4.2 and 4.5 .

5. Four in a block-type properties

A relatively common Scottish property type is the four (or two) in a block - this consists of a purpose built building, similar in appearance to a pair of semi-detached villas, but where the upper and lower floors on each side comprise separate flats or units.
