Our boundary surveys in Manchester provide an accurate record of the features defining properties, giving you a clearer basis for making informed decisions.
Knowing exactly where your property boundary lies is important when replacing a fence, planning an extension, buying or selling land, changing access arrangements or addressing a concern with a neighbouring property.
At Datum Land Surveys, we conduct boundary surveys across the North West, working with homeowners, developers, architects, businesses and construction professionals. Our surveyors use professional GPS equipment to accurately record the features that may be relevant to the boundary, including buildings, roads, walls, fences, hedges and access routes. Where we find visible indications of an older boundary position, such as a former fence line or evidence of previous occupation, these can also be captured as part of the survey.
Of course, a boundary shouldn’t necessarily be assessed from a single feature or plan. Boundary survey information should often be considered alongside digital Ordnance Survey mapping and relevant HM Land Registry documentation to build a more complete picture of the evidence available. This is particularly useful in established parts of Manchester, where decades of extensions, replacement fencing, alleyways and yard walls may well have altered the appearance of a boundary.
It’s also important to understand that a Land Registry title plan doesn’t normally identify an exact boundary position. The red line shown on a title plan generally indicates the property’s extent rather than providing a precise line that can simply be measured on the ground. Where the legal position of your boundary needs interpretation, our measured boundary survey drawings can provide useful technical information for a solicitor or other appropriately qualified professional.
Every property presents different requirements, so we’ll be sure to agree the scope and content of the survey with you in advance. Each of our boundary surveys is supplied as a clear 2D PDF drawing, with a DWG file available where CAD information is required for professional use.
When it comes to boundary surveys in Manchester, Datum Land Surveys have the experience, the technology and the right professional approach.
