About Ann
Ann holds an honours degree in Chemistry and worked in teaching before becoming a full time Mum. She then worked for the largest property searching firm in Scotland for more than fourteen years, leaving to set up on her own in 2003. Ann has seen the development of Land Registration from its beginnings and is very knowledgeable about many of the problems encountered in this. She is also hugely experienced in the Sasines Register, working not only with the search sheets, but also with very old titles which pre-date these and deeds recorded in the antiquated Burgh Registers.

the ropes of title searching from the ground up, gaining from Ann's unparalleled
