We investigate thoroughly all the evidence that is provided to us and then we deduct, through a logical process, and provide our clients with an expert opinion.

Boundary lawyers often need the expert services that we offer when they are dealing with boundary disputes for a clients of their own. More often than not the disputes are between people on a residential level. The factors of a dispute include adverse possession, poor descriptions of boundaries on original plans of the property and certain legal presumptions.

Here at Jon Maynard Boundaries we have a team of chartered land surveyors that have unlimited expertise in mapping, solving problems on maps based on a three dimensional model. They can easily interpret plans showing property boundaries and realise the limitations placed upon it due to the mapping and can produce the most accurate of maps.

In this section we will try and give you information on the best way to avoid having to call upon boundary lawyers or at least make it so that you are not the causer of the problem and are having boundary lawyers investigating yourself.

Firstly you shouldn't buy a property where the boundaries are not recognised by the land registry, if they are not recognised you are facing a long time of court action. To do thjis you can easily visit the land registry and pay a small sum to see copies of any documents relating to your property or a property that you are interested in buying. The land registry will gladly provide you with the register and the titles to any property that you are looking to buy, when you have these you can compare them to the ground plans and see if they are the same with regards to the boundary features, if they are not the same then you know that something is wrong.
