Land Registry Boundary Surveys

Boundaries can often become the subject of dispute if plots and parcels are not accurately defined. At Kemp we have many years’ experience of preparing plans that meet the requirements of the Land Registry (LR) and that can be used for conveyancing when land is being subdivided, bought or sold.

Our boundary surveys are tied to the Ordnance Survey National Grid as standard to ensure that they are future-proofed from changes to the surrounding features.

When disputes arise between neighbours, we can offer our expertise with measurement and scale. It should be remembered however that the LR Title Plan is based upon OS mapping of limited accuracy and that it is generally not the legal boundary.

Land records can be complex in nature, and most conveyances and title deeds do not define the precise boundary. In these cases, it can be necessary to investigate historical documents and physical features that remain on site as well as any available legal documents. From these documents we can offer an impartial opinion on the boundary location and, subject to agreement, set out and define the boundary to avoid future disputes.

At Kemp we have worked on a number of disputes over the years and assisted solicitors to resolve boundary issues. Feel free to contact us for a chat or to request a copy of our client guide to boundary disputes.
