Determined Boundary Plans
A Determined Boundary Plan is a accurately prepared document used to establish a clear and definitive boundary line between adjoining properties and provides an authoritative resolution to boundary disputes, ensuring clarity and legal recognition for future property transactions and disputes. Submitting the plan to the Land Registry for official record-keeping ensures that the plan is recognised and upheld in any future property transactions or disputes.

Q&A Guide to Land Registry Plans
What is a Land Registry Plan?
A Land Registry plan, or title plan, is an official document that illustrates the general boundaries of a registered property. It shows the location and extent of the land, together with buildings, structures and relevant features. Unless a Determined Boundary has been formally established, the plan does not define the precise legal boundary but provides an indicative outline for registration purposes.
Why are Land Registry Plans important?
Land Registry plans are important because they identify the extent and location of a property for registration and conveyancing purposes. They provide a clear visual outline of the general boundaries, help distinguish a property from neighbouring land and support accurate documentation during sales, purchases and applications to HM Land Registry.
What is a First Registration Plan?
A First Registration Plan is the plan submitted to HM Land Registry when a property is being registered for the first time, either because it is newly created or previously unregistered. It shows the extent of the land and its key features, helping the Land Registry identify and record the property accurately. Once approved, it forms part of the official title documents.
How accurate is a Land Registry Plan?
A Land Registry plan is based on Ordnance Survey mapping and shows general boundaries only. It is suitable for identifying the extent and location of a registered property but is not a detailed boundary survey and does not show the exact legal boundary. Where precise boundary positions are required, a measured boundary survey should be undertaken.
What is a Transfer Plan?
A Transfer Plan is a plan submitted with a transfer or conveyance to show the exact extent of the land being transferred. It provides a clear visual outline of the boundaries, structures and relevant features and is required by HM Land Registry to ensure the property being transferred is identified accurately. Once registered, the plan forms part of the official title records.
What is a Lease Plan?
A Lease Plan is a scaled plan that shows the exact extent of the premises being leased. It identifies the layout, boundaries and any areas included within the lease, and is prepared in accordance with HM Land Registry requirements. Lease Plans help ensure the leased area is clearly understood by all parties and, where needed, form part of the documentation submitted for lease registration.
What is a Determined Boundary Plan?
A Determined Boundary Plan is a plan used in the formal process of fixing the exact legal boundary between adjoining properties. It is prepared using site evidence, historical records and professional input, and accompanies an application to HM Land Registry for a determined boundary. Once approved, it defines the precise boundary position and becomes part of the official title record.
Can I use my Architect’s planning drawings for a Land Registry Plan?
Architects’ planning drawings are usually unsuitable for Land Registry purposes. They often include information unrelated to the extent of the land and seldom comply with HM Land Registry guidelines. Land Registry plans must show the boundaries and any easements clearly and unambiguously to ensure the application can be processed correctly, which typically requires a purpose-prepared compliant plan.
Does a Land Registry Plan prove the position of my boundaries?
No. A Land Registry Title Plan does not prove the exact position of your boundaries. It shows only the general boundary based on Ordnance Survey mapping and is intended to identify the extent of the registered property, not to define a precise legal boundary. Where the exact boundary position is in dispute or needs to be fixed, a determined boundary application supported by specialist evidence may be required.
