Land Registry Transfer Plans
Transfer Plans
The purpose of the title plan is to support the property description in the register by providing a graphic representation and identifying the general extent of the land in a registered title. In addition to showing the land in a registered title, a title plan may contain other plan references which identify any parts of the land or adjoining land affected by entries in the register, such as easements, covenants or areas of land removed from the title. The title plan was previously known as the ‘filed plan’ and you may still see it described in this way.
What does Land Registry Compliant mean?
All drawings must be compliant to the guidelines set out by the Land Registry to ensure consistency. To be compliant with the Land Registry guidelines, a lease plan must:
-
Be drawn to scale (preferred scales of 1/1250 – 1/500 for urban properties and 1/2500 for rural properties).
-
Clearly indicate its orientation.
-
Not be marked as ‘for identification only’ or any other disclaimers
-
Have sufficient detail to be identified on the Ordnance Survey map
-
Be clearly identifiable with regards to location (i.e. it must show roads, road junctions or other landmarks around the land)
-
Include any land associated with the property, such as the garage, garden.
-
Show buildings in their correct position as well as drives or pathways if they form part of property boundaries
-
Clearly indicate the separate parts of the property, such as the house, parking, dustbin space, etc.
-
Identify any varying floor levels (where required)
-
Pull out any intricate boundaries on a larger scale or inset plan
-
Show measurements that correspond to scaled measurements (as much as possible)
