The Keeper of Registers of Scotland is responsible for compiling and maintaining records relating to property and other legal documents. Handling around half a million registration transactions each year Registers of Scotland (RoS) plays a vital role underpinning the Scottish economy.
RoS has always been self-financing, being funded by the fees charged for registration and for providing information from the registers. These fees have recently been reduced, in the case of registration fees by over a quarter. It was awarded Trading Fund status in 1996.
Registers of Scotland has a clear goal to further reduce reliance on paper-based systems, drive down fees and provide a first class service to the people of Scotland. To further this goal RoS has introduced Automated Registration of Title to land (ARTL) which allows Lenders active in the Scottish market to realise the benefits of faster paperless registration and reduced costs.
