How unusual to own three boundaries is it?

She had asked for a complete copy so we can read it all to be honest the solicitor is not very helpful at all.

If the solicitor can't see that there are two houses on that plan, I'd be concerned about the quality of his/her work!

Our first house had three boundaries.

When we purchased our current house, the vendor advised that he was responsible for two boundaries.  Our solicitor concurred with this but when we read the deeds, it turned out that only one boundary (the front one) was sole responsibility. The other three boundaries were shared. Our solicitor also got hung up about a shared driveway the deeds mentioned but this was for the four houses a row behind ours. I had to point this out to the solicitor. It was very clear from the deeds which houses had to maintain the driveway. I think that the deeds just covered everything in the road and there were applicable extra conditions (such as the shared driveway), depending on which house you were looking at. 

Solicitors aren't always right.

OP your daughter needs to view the up to date Title Plan £3 from Land Registry, possibly also the next door property.

Has your daughter seen the Property Information Form that the vendor has completed?  If so, what does it say about the boundaries?

The Plan you have uploaded is copied from an old deed/conveyance so cannot be relied upon to be accurate today.

Some title plans do not show T marks, other title plans do.  Sometimes, there is a clause in the Register about boundary responsibilities, but if not then Land Registry will advise that the boundary is shared.  However, over the years it may be that "responsibility and maintenance" of the boundaries was simply left because no-one knew or perhaps someone took responsibility without knowing for definite whether it was theirs or not.

Don't forget that although the solicitor is acting for your daughter, they do not visit the property so they must rely on all the provided paperwork from the seller's solicitors and answers to enquiries.  They are likely to ask your daughter to confirm that the up to date Title Plan matches the boundaries at the property when viewed.

Thanks Tiglet!
The vendor did complete a pack but there were many mistakes on it.re the boundaries she put left and right however we assumed it was the fence dividing the two not the neighbouring wall. When she's been we never thought to check out the garden wall on the left as we thought this would be their wall also it would seem rather intrusive.
Many years ago I had a huge issue with a boundary and I want to her to ensure she's not in that position. No one seems to have the answers!

Ha ha, I have 11 boundaries in my current place. Most are low stone walls. Some of our neighbours have fenced inside their side of the boundary wall. Very kind of them to do so.

The solicitor is refusing to obtain a complete copy of the leasehold document stating this is sufficient!! Even though the text is missing
Why should we have to purchase one directly when they should be providing this?

Your solicitor gets sent a copy of the Title Register and Title Plan from the seller's solicitor.  It is the seller's solicitor who compile and draft the contract pack and these titles form part of the pack.  How far along in the process is your daughter?  The titles will definitely be sent to you in due course, but if you want to make an informed decision it is only £3 per document and worth it to potentially stop any further spending on searches and surveys etc.  The seller's solicitor will not obtain any neighbouring property's titles so either you pay £3 or not, your choice.

The lease also forms part of the draft contract pack, if this is what you are referring to.  Seller's solicitor to provide to your solicitor.
