finding out who owns a house - advice
Hi guys,
I'm sure some of you will know this. We are needing to find out who a house in Aberdeen has actually registered as it's owners. Not one
of mine but a friend who is concerned that they are not the owner, at all a bit daft and should have not got this far but it's not my doing, the
things some folk get up too.
I am aware that there is a place called register house in Edinburgh that has the title deeds but are they accessible without lawyers or solicitors,
ideally on the internet??
Any help would be appreciated. You understand that I can't go into too much detail on this as I regard it as confidential for their own
circumstances but I don't know very much about this subject.
Their worried sick, tears and all, oh boy 
Please excuse the crap grammar, bit tired
Cheers

It's the Register Of Sasines you need to contact.

i assume there's no mortgage on the house?
if there's a mortgage, the bank who they have the mortgage with should be able to send the deeds to a local branch for them to view (at least,
RBS did when i worked there)
if there's no mortgage, then they can write to the register of scotland and request a copy of the deeds, cost detailed on the web site
http://www.ros.gov.uk/public/services/copy_deeds.html
all sounds a bit weird though... can't think of a reason why they wouldn't be sure?

Cool just what we need. I know it sounds strange, the whole thing is complicated balls up and more to do with a very badly thought out inheritance
plan and someone else’s bad debt but first we need to establish who actually owns the house. Can’t really blame them as they had cancer at the time
and panicked, they have fully recovered though 
Thanks

ah right, so there was a lot of scope for mistakes and stuff.
only problem is, they register might not give them a copy of the deeds if they're not in their name, but then that would still answer the
question, but pile on the stress
