Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012

17 Shared plots

(1) This section applies where a plot of land—

(a) is owned in common by the proprietors of two or more other plots of land by virtue of their ownership of those other plots,

(b) is not owned in common by anyone else.

(2) The Keeper may, if the Keeper considers it appropriate, designate the title sheet of the plot of land to be a “shared plot title sheet”.

(3) In this section and in sections 18 and 19—

(a) references to a “shared plot” are to a plot of land the title sheet of which is designated under subsection (2),

(b) references to the “sharing plots” are to the other plots of land the proprietors of which own the shared plot in common.

(4) Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in a document to a sharing plot is to be taken to include a reference to the share in the shared plot which pertains to the sharing plot.

(5) Registration has the same effect in relation to a share in a shared plot which pertains to a sharing plot as it has in relation to the sharing plot (except in so far as may otherwise be provided in the deed registered).
