Are you uncertain about the position of a boundary? Our boundary determination surveys in Wirral help uncover the evidence and create accurate drawings.
A property boundary might look obvious, but appearances can sometimes be misleading. A fence may have been installed years after the original boundary was established, an old wall could be hidden beneath planting, or a title plan may show only the general extent of the registered land.
Datum Land Surveys conducts boundary determination surveys for homeowners, developers, architects, businesses and construction professionals. Using professional GPS surveying equipment, we record the relevant physical features of a property and its surroundings. These may include buildings, roads, walls, fences, hedges, access routes and other visible features that could be significant when considering a boundary. Where evidence of an earlier arrangement remains visible, such as a former fence line or changes in occupation, this can also be recorded. By capturing the site accurately, we create a useful measured picture of the property as it exists today.
The information generated by a boundary determination survey can be considered alongside digital Ordnance Survey mapping and relevant HM Land Registry documentation. Bringing these sources together is important because no single feature or plan will necessarily provide the complete answer.
Our boundary determination surveys in Wirral are helpful before replacing a fence, planning an extension, buying or selling land, altering access or discussing a concern with a neighbour. Such a survey can also provide solicitors and other property professionals with accurate technical information to support their advice.
Different properties can present different challenges. Older walls, replacement fencing, access routes and changes to buildings or gardens may all affect how a boundary appears. A carefully executed boundary determination survey helps ensure that the physical evidence is recorded rather than relying on assumptions.
Of course it’s important to understand that a boundary determination survey doesn’t, by itself, establish the legal ownership of land. HM Land Registry title plans generally show general boundaries, not an exact legal line. Where formal interpretation is required, our measured drawing can be provided to a solicitor or another suitably qualified adviser. We supply clear 2D PDF survey drawings, with DWG files available for professional CAD use. The required content is agreed in advance.
