Property boundary

HouseACA

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a map that would show the boundary of my house. I've looked on land & property site but seem to work it out. Is it something that joe public can get?

Can anyone point me in right direction.

Thanks

House

If the land is registered, it will be listed at the Land Registry and you can get a copy of the deeds and plan.

The vast majority of title deeds will only show an "indicative plan" which is only intended to be used so you can find the property. Any specific boundaries will be specified in the text of the deeds itself, such as "the walls between the property and adjoining properties shall be party walls" - which means the boundary is down the centre of them and external boundaries tend to be a straight-line extension.

But in all cases, anything specified in the deeds themselves takes priority over any rules of thumb or common practice. My title deeds are unusual in that they say (in effect) "the boundary is the western face of wall 'A' and extends southwards to meet the southern boundary, the southern boundary is the edge of the concrete slab 'B'"

Are you close to a Lps office? I called into the one in Belfast (not sure if there are others) and they were very helpful - accessed the portfolios for my house and my neighbours. There is a small fee but it is worth it.

They will explain the maps for you

Thanks, I'll have to check about an LPS office.

Thankfully it's not really urgent issue. There's a field at end of my garden that has a lot ov overgrowth at the fence. When i look out upstairs window it looks like neighbours gardens go back a few extra meters, which has me thinking that previous owner put the fence up short. Thought it may be possible to check out a map to check.

Try the property search on here (lhs tabs). It's a rough plan but it should indicate the anolmaly you are talking about.
