Land Registry Plan

I'm in the process of buying a 1st floor flat.
My conveyancing solicitor has sent me a copy of the land registry entries.
Attached to one is an Ordnance Survey map with the property outlined. I've been asked to check this is the correct one.
The properties in the street are all terraced, with each property having two flats one up and one down and about 40 properties on each side of the street.
The marked property is on the right side of the street, but with so many buildings I can't tell if it's actually the one I'm about to buy.
Can I just assume it's the right one or do I really need to make the hour and half trip to count doors down the street and confirm it?

Yes, you should check. You can use Google's street-view or Microsoft's equivalent to view the street without physically visiting. Also, the OS maps typically have property numbers on them, cross check that too.0 -
As OS plans are so tiny, ask to look at the lease plan.
If that's accurate, and if it's this lease that is registered under the title that V is proposing to sell, all would seem to be OK.0 -

Duh, hadn't thought of using Google Map, great idea.Jeffrey_Shaw wrote: »As OS plans are so tiny, ask to look at the lease plan.

The lease plan does have an attached map but this is just the actual property plus boundary neighbours.0 -
Damn, just checked and Google didn't bother going down the street!!!0
