Our Aims

The aim of Landownership Scotland is to provide a superior service at a competitive price. We will go out of our way to help you with any problems you encounter involving investigating the ownership of land in Scotland. We are willing to consider any job, big or small and where possible we aim to provide an estimate of eventual costs or work to a specific budget if this is required. We carry extensive professional indemnity insurance, although this is not something we have ever had occasion to use.

About Ann

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.

Chris has learned the ropes of title searching from the ground up, gaining from Ann's unparalleled wealth of knowledge and experience in investigating the ownership of land in Scotland. He became a director of Landownership Scotland in 2020.
