Boundary Determination

As English land registration does not usually record boundaries in detail, it can be difficult to determine the exact line of a boundary when a dispute arises between neighbours. Experience in reviewing historic and legal documents, accurate measurement and a high level of analytic skill are required to reach the correct answer, and resolve a dispute without expensive litigation. Where litigation is progressing, a high level of competence and experience as an expert witness is essential to assist the court in correctly deciding the answer. Rob French and Ashley Patience have that experience, including being appointed as single joint expert.

Effective boundary determination requires quality measured survey data with which to compare the often unclear historic documents. Our in house Measured Survey department headed by Brian Bevis provides accurate and efficient support for boundary determination. This ensures that we can respond promptly to initial instructions, and also ensures that we have full control of the survey produced, to ensure that it covers the information that we require.
