Process Steps

Additional Information

Make preparations for mapping the flat TP


7.1 Open the TP application for the flat on the DMS using the /wiki/spaces/2ARM/pages/64455073.


7.2 You have previously checked at step 2.10 if there is OS map detail and if there is DPA for the development.

7.2.1 If DPA exists, consider any mapping instructions provided in the casenotes and copy the extent of any relevant plots to the clipboard as these may assist with the mapping of the rights pertaining to the flat.


7.3 Check the seed point for the TP cadastral unit is correctly positioned within the tenement steading, and re-position if necessary using the /wiki/spaces/2ARM/pages/64455283.

7.4 Read any correspondence that is included in the casebag in case it has an impact on the mapping of the flat.

  • If you are in doubt about how you should proceed after reading the correspondence, refer to a referral officer for guidance.


Mapping Tenement Properties


Search the index map


7.5 To ensure a thorough interrogation of the index layer has been done you will need to complete an index map search on the DMS using the /wiki/spaces/2ARM/pages/64455340 and also complete an index map search using the PV. Completing an index map search on the PV will ensure any Draft Cadastral Units (COF indexes) created by reports are take into account.

Index Entry Types

7.6 View the parent title - the parent title will be either (i) the new one that was created for the tenement steading, or (ii) the existing one that was converted to be the tenement steading parent title.

7.7 Check the parent title for plans references:

    • ascertain what the references are for by looking at the DMS casenotes and/or the L53 held in the shared drive; and
    • if they need to be shown on the TP for the flat, take a note of them.


7.8 Check if the cadastral unit being registered is affected by a CIL (Community Interest in Land) entry on the DMS index layer. 

  • If it is affected, refer the application to a senior adviser who will check the application against the entry in the RCIL (Register of Community Interest in Land).


7.9  Check for previously registered 1979 Act titles (PRs) of flats within the tenement steading.

7.9.1 Check for any PRs that include part of the flat and its pertinents that are being registered.
