Payment of fees

Land and property registration

When you apply to record a deed in the General Register of Sasines or the Land Register of Scotland you’ll need to submit the appropriate payment with your application.

You can pay by direct debit.

No VAT is payable on registration services.

Advance notices

Payment of advance notice fees will depend on the registration type.

Advance notices on first registrations or transfers of part can be paid by direct debit.

Advance notices for dealings of whole must be paid by direct debit.

Registers of Movable Transactions

There are two ways to pay for transactions on the Register of Assignation and Register of Statutory Pledges.

You can pay by:

• Direct Debit

• card

If you have a FAS account with RoS, you can set up a Direct Debit. This will be a different Direct Debit than the one you use to pay for ScotLIS.

If you pay by  card, you’ll receive a receipt.

All our other services are post-paid. When you request these services, we’ll send you an invoice.

You can pay by:

• BACS

To pay by BACS, contact creditcontrol@ros.gov.uk for details.

If you have a FAS account, you can also pay by direct debit or direct credit.

All invoices are due for payment 30 days from issue, apart from ScotLIS invoices, which are due for payment 14 days from issue.

VAT is payable on non-registration services, including ScotLIS.

Businesses with more than one office
