Boundary Search and Dispute Resolution:
- Ownership of boundary structures, such as fences and walls.
- House, Land and Property Disputes
- Boundary Positions and Disputes
The Title Plan is the first port of call in resolving any boundary dispute. However, it is important to note that the Title Plan only shows the general position of the boundaries. In order to determine the position and ownership of the boundaries between two properties more precisely it is necessary to obtain the Land Registry documents for each of the properties, and to determine what these documents collectively say.
This is an essential first step in order to clarify boundary ownership and responsibility, and also to ascertain the exact position of each disputed boundary.
Information disclosed by an official copy of the Title Plan includes:
- Shows the position of the boundaries.
- Shows the extent of property/land included in the Title.
- Areas of land which previously formed part of the Title but have since been removed are coloured green.
- Location in relation to surrounding properties and buildings.
- Repair and maintenance obligations for boundary structures, such as fences and walls, are often detailed in the Register and indicated on the Title Plan by coloured markings and T markings.
- Registered easements (e.g. rights of access, parking rights, drainage rights) are indicated by coloured markings.
- Land affected by covenants and other restrictions are indicated by coloured markings on the Title Plan.
- Orientation indicated by way of a North point.
- Title Number and Ordnance Survey map reference.
- The Title Plan is normally drawn to scale 1:1250.
- Markings and colours used in the Title Plan are explained in the Title Register.
