I would like to contact the Land Registry to obtain information if possible about Boundaries and a row of outhouses at the side of my property.
I have looked on the website but I am finding it confusing, there are 2 forms Official Copies Of Documents: Registration (OC1) and (OC2), which do I need to fill in? Also filling it in is confusing me as it asks for names of documents.
I want to make sure it is done correctly so if anyone could give me an idiots guide that would be very much received.
TIA

There is a rep from land registry that posts on the housing board and has a dedicated thread over there.

Isn't the OC2 is for getting copies of documents referred to in the register? That's why it's asking for the document name. Have you already done a search?

Yes, I have done a searchSPC 0370

Start with a basic search on the postcode and house number.

Register and plan are £3 each.
Official copies are for when you are undertaking property transactions.0 -
I have done that and it gives very little informationSPC 0370

What did you obtain, the title register or the plan? The register won't show the boundaries of the property, that's in the plan. If you go to the link that @daveyjp posted you can see examples of each, and info on how to obtain them. If you've got both and the info you're looking for isn't there look to see if it says 'copy filed' or something similar - those are separate documents you can get using the OC2.
