Boundary Services

Boundaries are not always clearly defined by physical features on the ground such as a fences, hedges or walls. Using Land Registry documentation, we can upload plans onto our mapping equipment in the correct co-ordinate system. Every point in the UK has a specific co-ordinate which is an Easting and Northing. Downloading mapping data and overlaying Land Registry documents allows us to pin point these boundary co-ordinates. Once we are on site, we can then walk the land and figure out on the ground where the Land Registry boundary is located. We can then mark this on the ground to show where the boundary lines are. 

This is particularly common with farmland where there are large areas made up from different Land Registry title deeds, and no feature on the ground to define the boundaries. Often, with no fixed points to use for reference for large distances, a map in the correct ordnance survey co-ordinate system is the only way to define boundaries. It is important to remember that Land Registry title plans show general boundaries only. See more in boundary reports for more information on legal boundaries.
