determining boundary wall on property plans

Jan 28, 2005 27 Replies

I didn't know that was possible. Sounds like a recipe for conflict to me. Its fine when you get on with your neighbour but people move on.

How do the deeds word it? There must be some allocation of responsibility surely? I have a very old house and of course there are no 'T' marks (what a good idea) but the plans are clearly marked to show ownership and responsibility for the boundaries. None of them mine, I'm pleased to say, as there are quite a lot of them.

If you ask LR they will tell you that boundaries can only be determined in a Court of Law, your property plan is just a good starting point.

In this case, they were determined by LR and incorrectly at that.

LR stated categorically where the boundary was? that goes against all the warnings on their website and could be challenged. The thick line that LR use to denote boundaries is very vague, dimensions are better or as they explained to me natural boundaries are also good though its not easy to determine exactly where the boundary is in regard to ditches, ponds and roads etc.

You can already.

Sounds eminently reasonable. If only there were more people like you.

I picked up a title plan from the land registry this morning (see

snipped version), better than I thought, the last one I've seen was some multiply faxed copy from the solicitor, on which you could hardly make out the street.

Think they need a thinner red pen though! If there wasn't other properties the same shape I would have missed quite a lot.

If done properly, and it looks like it has been, the red line should be on the INSIDE of the printed line.
