Conveyancing
The conveyancing includes an examination of the title deeds (to ensure that the seller really has a good title, that there are no undisclosed securities and that there are no unusual title conditions or restrictions) and preparation of the Disposition – the title deed in your favour. Most titles in Scotland are feudal – broadly equivalent to freehold – with very few lease titles. If it has not been dealt with during the missives, the local authority property certificates would be examined to check position regarding the local authority responsibilities, such as roads and sewers. If the house is relatively new or changes have been made, the planning permission, building warrant and completion certificate would be checked.
