“First class speedy service.
Process of getting the right plan was reasonably easy.
My only reservation is not with the response but the apparent obscure nature of the ways and means of getting any changes to the Land Registry’s records.- the ‘transfer of parts’ process among others.”

Hi,Unfortunately, in England or Wales, there's often no record of who owns the hedge, wall, tree or fence between a property unless specified in the deeds. We can’t tell you exactly where your legal boundary is, as the title plans show general boundaries. The information is based on large-scale Ordnance Survey mapping and is generalised to some degree. For instance, it may not show small juts in the boundary or bay windows.
Unfortunately, we can’t tell you which boundary feature you are responsible for either, though some registers may refer to this. If you want to check if any boundary information is registered with HM Land Registry, you can get a copy of the title register, title plan, and any ‘filed’ deeds they have for your own property and your neighbour's property. A deed plan may refer to measurements but these have to be interpreted, as the land may not be level and you don’t know where they were measured from or how.
People often think they are responsible for the left (or right) hand boundary wherever they live, but there isn’t any legal basis for this. Sometimes deeds lodged with HM Land Registry when the property is first register the property may have information about it, in which case it may be mentioned in the register. In a lot of cases though, the deeds make no mention.
Then there are cases where the deeds refer to ‘T’ marks on a plan and include wording such as ‘to maintain the boundaries marked with an inward facing T mark’. Larger developments tend to have some indication provided by the builder, but there are no hard and fast rules.
If you want to change an existing boundary, such as replacing an old fence with a new one, we always recommend discussing with your neighbour first and making sure it is all agreed. The registered titles can help you to reach an agreement, but only if this information has been added.
Hi Patricia,
Thank you for the 5-star review. We’re glad the information was prompt and on time with no fuss.
