Why you should not use Land Registry's title plans to establish the exact line of a property boundary - JMB39
 
 
Title plans are required by law to show only the general position of a boundary.
In other words, they do not show the exact line of the boundary.
 
Title plans are required by law to be based on Ordnance Survey maps.
Ordnance Survey maps do not, by law, show or affect property boundaries.
 
Ordnance Survey maps are insufficiently accurate as a vehicle for portraying the exact line of a boundary.
 
The overwhelming majority of title plans are produced as a desk exercise and without a site visit to check that the plan matches what is present on the ground.

Why you cannot rely on Land Registry's title plans - JMB39

 

Why "Setting out" your boundary from a title plan is WRONG - JMB36
 
 
Title plans show only the general position, not the exact line, of a boundary.
 
Attempting to mark out on the ground the mapped position of the "general boundary"
is guaranteed to provoke rather than settle a boundary dispute.

Boundaries Terminology - JMB35
 
 

Much jargon is used in connection with boundary disputes.
 
The legal profession's lack of a recognised dictionary or glossary of such terms
only serves to cloud the mystery surrounding boundary investigations and boundary disputes,
 
To rectify this situation, the present web site produced its own glossary
of boundaries terminology in November 2011.
 
This information paper presents a revised version of that glossary.

Using DIMENSIONS
found in conveyane deeds & plans - JMB40

 
 
The courts are prone to place credibility on dimensions found in conveyance deeds.
 
The reality is that there is no knowledge of their accuracy,
they do not conform to scientific principles, and
much artifice and artistry is required when interpreting an aged set
of dimensions onto the modern layout of the land.
 
This paper explains the shortcomings and a method for overcoming the pitfalls.
