The Land Registry in the UK and Northern Ireland does not always hold detailed records of boundaries, making it difficult to establish the exact extent of ownership between neighbouring properties. Our specialist surveyors, working with our in-house measured survey team and industry-leading survey equipment, have the skills and experience to provide clients with timely, accurate and clear advice, enabling neighbouring owners to make informed decisions related to their boundary issue. We also assist with applications to officially register determined boundaries and have full capability to produce Land Registry compliant plans.
Our team has the technical and analytical skills to undertake accurate measurement and interpret legal documents as well as historic mapping. We are experts in completing measured survey overlay exercises with Land Registry and Ordnance Survey documentation, and original title deeds.
Keeping all services in-house allows us to respond quickly to client instructions and maintain quality control. By accurately identifying boundary positions, we help resolve disputes without the need for time-consuming and costly litigation, and where legal remedies are unavoidable we provide clear, unambiguous advice.
We have worked with DPR on the whole range of neighbourly matters for many years and recently instructed Rob [French] and Brian [Bevis] to act as expert witnesses in a hotly contested boundary dispute. Rob and Brian were user friendly and professional and supported our client to achieve a successful outcome at trial. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.
Boundary determination must be precise. We collate historic, often unclear, documentation and analyse this alongside measured survey data to ensure accuracy.
The unique combination of our specialist surveyors and measured survey experts ensures accurate, expedient boundary advice. We also act as expert witness, representing clients and assisting courts.
