Land Registry Plans

ChocoNutPillows

Good afternoon all,

I'm in the process of buying a terraced property, it is the middle of 3 in a row. I've just had the land registry details and outline plans from my solicitor and I'm a little confused with the results. The plan implies that the border includes the garden of one of the neighbouring properties. The end property was build after the other two houses, so it is possible the land was never sold with it?

I have obviously asked my solicitor to look into it I just wondered if anyone else had come across anything similar before.

Being a newbie I can't post links so there's a broken link below.

Thanks!

Does that do the trick?

Yep...I can see it...though struggling to interpret it.

It could be right, as there is a fairly considerable amount of land to the side of the house on the right.

This is probably the original plan.

Somewhere, probably in the written title, there will be a written amendment drawn up when the house next door was added. Maybe an amended plan too.

This often happens when things are changed.

Perhaps the OP did not want the location revealed quite so explicitly!

Dave,

I had thought that, but the plan also shows the building next door, so must have been drawn up after that had been built. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Have you visited the property? Where is the fence on that side of the garden?

ChocoNutPillows

Yes I've visited it. There is a small fence (if you could call it that) between the two properties as per the black line on the plan. It is a small 1ft post every 6ft with a bit of wire running between them, so not exactly a border. Those neighbours have been there 56 years (give or take), the same as the lady from my property who died in 2013. So I have a feeling it's been like that for a while, maybe with just a mutual understanding of boundaries or perhaps no knowledge of the actual boundaries?

Because it shows next door too, then it is most likely right. I have seen where the plans of two adjacents show different stages of a development, but if this is the current copy as from the land registry then it should be right and current. The OP can buy, for £3, the plan for next door, and it may well show them having just the front garden.

Thanks Nic, I'll see what my solicitor comes back with and consider buying the plans for next door if I need to.

£3 here for next doors plan. That will either show a conflict caused by an error, or confirm your plan is correct....:
