The answer

Answered by Johann Lamont on 14 Mar 2005 · 26 days after it was lodged, on time

Scotland has two property registers, the General Register of Sasines, a register of deeds which is being superseded by the Land Register of Scotland, a register of title. There are some 2.6 million properties held between the two registers of which some 1.2 million are registered in, or the subject of applications to, the Land Register as at February 2005. This equates to approximately 46% of all properties that could potentially be registered in the Land Register.
