Our boundary determination surveys in St. Helens provide an evidence-based record of a site, pinpointing the position of features relevant to a boundary.
When the exact position of a property boundary is unclear, relying on a fence, wall or title plan alone may not provide the certainty you need.
At Datum Land Surveys, we take a detailed approach to boundary determination surveys. Existing features don’t always tell the complete story. A fence may have been installed some years after the original boundary was established, an older wall could be hidden by vegetation, or a Land Registry title plan may indicate the general extent of a property without defining the boundary to a precise measurement.
Our surveyors use professional GPS surveying equipment to accurately locate relevant features across the property and its surroundings. Depending on the site, this can include buildings, roads, walls, fences, hedges, driveways, access routes and indications of earlier boundary arrangements. We then bring the measured information together with relevant mapping and documentation to create a clear, structured boundary determination survey drawing.
The resulting plan provides useful technical evidence for discussions between neighbouring property owners and can assist solicitors, surveyors and other appointed professionals when considering the appropriate next steps. Where an exact boundary is to be formally recorded through HM Land Registry’s determined-boundary process, additional documentation, legal advice and supporting evidence may be required. But whilst the boundary determination survey itself doesn’t determine the legal boundary, it does document, with a high degree of accuracy, the physical evidence available at the property.
This measured approach to boundary determination surveys is particularly helpful where development, extensions, altered walls or access arrangements have made the position of a boundary difficult to establish. If you own a residential property in St. Helens or a larger site here or elsewhere across Merseyside and the surrounding areas, having reliable survey information can provide a stronger foundation for resolving uncertainty.
We supply completed boundary determination survey drawings in 2D PDF and DWG formats. If a solicitor, surveyor or other professional is already advising you, we can discuss the intended purpose of the survey at the outset and tailor the information collected and presented accordingly.
