Boundary Dispute Surveyor Services
A dedicated boundary surveyor and chartered surveyor can:
- Draft a boundary agreement all parties can sign.
- Review the land registry title plan for registered land or guide you on unregistered land.
- Compare the title plan with on-site markers so the exact line is clear.
- Explain how the land registry follows the “only general boundaries” rule.
- Prepare material for court if the matter moves beyond discussion.
Boundary Surveys:
We take an accurate survey with a total station to map property boundaries and note each boundary feature—walls, fences, hedges or the edge of a public highway. This work gives an accurate determination of the correct location and supports any later expert witness report.
Title Research:
We track title deeds, conveyance documents, and earlier transfer plans back to the first conveyance or first sale. This helps set the general position of long-standing land boundaries.
Legal Expertise:
Our surveyors understand land law, the civil procedure rules and court practice. They work with your solicitor or barrister and, when required, act as an RICS expert witness or single joint expert at first instance or on appeal.
Dispute Resolution:
We talk with neighbours and other parties to reach an agreement before litigation. This can avoid time-consuming and expensive hearings and lets parties agree who is responsible for each boundary feature.
Expert Witness Services:
If court action is needed, we give a clear report with supporting evidence and attend to answer the judge’s questions. Our professional opinion is based on field data and ordnance survey mapping overlays.
Mapping and Documentation:
We create a fresh plan that shows how the title plan shows on-ground facts. A matching written report explains any disputed boundary or adverse possession claim.
Encroachment Analysis:
We check whether buildings, drives or a rear garden wall cross into someone else’s land. Where encroachment exists, we outline the rights and responsibilities of each owner.
Adverse Possession Investigations:
We study paper title boundary evidence, actual occupation and the extent of use to see if the legal tests are met.
Land Use Planning:
We advise on local policy so your project follows planning rules and avoids later disputes.
Expert Consultation:
We guide clients through the conveyancing process, help them define the correct position, and assist with any application to HM Land Registry for a determined boundary.
Our surveyors blend field-work skills with legal knowledge to resolve boundary issues and give peace of mind to landowners.
