Split Break Deed For Free

It is possible to split or subdivide the registered title of your property, however, if it is not as a result of a sale/transfer, it would be at the Registrar's discretion, and you would have to disclose your reasons for the request.

When property changes owner, the deed transferring the property must be registered in the Land Register of Scotland. The land register is our main register, and it captures all property transfers. It's replacing the General Register of Sasines. Land registration is a complex process that requires legal knowledge.

What is a title split and when would this be required? A title split occurs when you separate a portion of the legal title to a property to achieve a purpose. This could be because you wish to split a parcel of garden land, for example, from your existing property to create a plot for development purposes.

As a freehold owner of a property, you can split your property's title into two or more and create leasehold titles. The application to split your property's title can be made at the land registry. There will be some conveyancing matters involved and you will need scale drawings of the intended flats.

Title splitting is the strategy of taking a Freehold property (normally a block of flats) and 'splitting' the units into individual leasehold properties, normally on to leases over 125 years. The idea behind this strategy is that by splitting the title, you increase the value of the property as a whole.

Title splits are, as the name would suggest, splitting (or dividing) the title deeds of one building. As a result, that one property becomes two, three or four etc.

The cost to split title deeds includes conveyancing work completed by a solicitor. You can expect to pay between £100 ? £500 for this. The price to split title deeds also includes further fees.
