Do you know exactly where your property boundary lies? Datum’s boundary determination surveys are available in Warrington and across the north West.
While a fence, hedge or wall might appear to mark the dividing line between neighbouring properties, it doesn’t always reflect the original boundary. If you’re uncertain about the position of your land, a professional boundary determination survey from Datum Land Surveys can provide accurate measurements and a clear record of the available evidence.
Using professional GPS surveying equipment, we measure relevant physical features across your property and its surroundings. These can include buildings, roads, walls, fences, hedges and access routes. Where visible evidence of an earlier fence line, wall or change in occupation remains, we can record that too.
The measured information is then presented in a structured survey drawing and can be considered alongside digital Ordnance Survey mapping and relevant HM Land Registry documents. Bringing these sources together helps create a more complete picture of the site than relying on a single feature or plan.
A boundary determination survey can be particularly useful if you’re planning an extension, replacing a fence, buying or selling land, altering an access route or discussing a boundary concern with a neighbour. It can also provide solicitors and other property professionals with accurate technical information when advising their clients.
It’s worth remembering that most HM Land Registry title plans show general boundaries rather than an exact legal line. The red edging shouldn’t be treated as a precise measurement that can simply be transferred onto the ground. Our role is to record the physical evidence accurately, not to make a legal ruling on ownership.
Where the legal position requires further interpretation, our completed drawing can be supplied to a solicitor or another suitably qualified adviser. A formal determined-boundary application may also require supporting documentation and professional legal advice.
At Datum Land Surveys, we supply clear 2D PDF survey drawings, with DWG files available for professional CAD use. We’ll agree the required content with you beforehand, ensuring the finished plan suits its intended purpose.
If you need greater clarity about a property boundary, our boundary determination surveys are now available in Warrington, contact Datum Land Surveys to discuss your requirements.
